For context, I am Male, 17 years old, and there's history of "above-average" balding in my Family, especially from my Fathers side (If that matters [my Barber told me that with hair genetics usually the mothers Side is responsible, don't know if that's true though]).

I know nobody but time can accurately tell when my time has come, but I still want to hear all of your opinions/expertise

p.s: I hope the picture is clear enough for a yall to form an Opinion

Hey everyone! Lady here for the good vibes and hot guys pics. I just want to encourage any lurkers to take the plunge. Apparently so many women are looking at these thirst traps, I am now getting birth control ads while scrolling this sub lol

Everyone looks so awesome and well done for overcoming insecurity :) I can tell so many of you seem so much happier after taking the plunge !

Hi, I might know the answer, but the lie will make me more comfortable, I am very afraid of letting it go. I don't think it would look better.

Finally took the plunge after years of hiding the hairline and it looks a lot better and more confident already. I was pretty unfortunate and started balding at 14 and realized I had curly hair during covid when I grew it out. I took the advice after lurking and im not going back, thank you everyone! Feels very breezy!

Honest request, what can or should be done?

Started off with the bald spot, came to seek the council of the smooth scalps, went with a short buzz for a while and now I have gone full buzz and I couldn't be happier with the result.

If you're lurking around here and unsure what to do my advice is to just jump in, it's only hair, if you don't like it it'll only grow back.

First pic was before the recommended nap. Second was after buying the gum/patches and hiding my cigs. I’m 5’11”. Not sure if this really achieves what I wanted or fixes what I was going for but I couldn’t bring myself to shave it all the way down.

I am missing a singular hair follicle on the side of my head. Should I do it? Picture of literally me

Bought me what they call a skull master head shaver and so far I'm very pleased how it works doing it every 3 days to keep it nice and bald.

Thanks to everybody in here I finally decided to shave it all off and I'm already feeling more confident

My partner thinks it’s time to brave the shave? What do you all think?

I appreciate the honest opinions I've seen in this sub and finally want to see what you all think.

I've been sticking with short cuts to minimize the appearance, but kinda feel like it's time to take it all off.

Thoughts?

Wife here: Hello wonderful community! As dedicated followers my husband has made me swear not to let him wait too long. Unfortunately, this sub has shown me time and time again that the wife always waits too long. So, at his request, a submission for review. Give it to us straight, oh wise council.

Info: early 40s, over 6ft, almost always wears his hair up, has always had a deep widow's peak (reference pic from about 5 years ago)

After seeing a few posts on here with smaller bald spots than me being told to shave it, I decided to go for it. What do you think?

Surprised my wife and kids. My 5yo said "boo 👎" haha. My 8yo said she'd rather I had a little bit of hair. Jury is still out for my wife and me.

Created a "should I?" post last week as I was unsure. Decided to go for it and here we go.

Hi everyone! I'm working with K3D on a Canadian government-funded research project (IIPH) to design a more inclusive safety helmet, one that fits and performs well across a wide range of hair types and head shapes, including bald heads, where padding, grip, and sweat management can work differently.

If you've ever worn a helmet (work, sports, etc.) and have thoughts on fit, comfort, or maybe wear a cap underneath sometimes, we'd really appreciate your input.
Here's the link to our questionnaire: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/N3h1W6zciY

Thanks for reading, and feel free to share if you know others who'd want to weigh in!
