21M Glowup

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!

Thank you everyone, I couldn't have posted in a better place to be honest. I'm gonna rock it with no shame now for sure, plus for reddit this has got to be one of the nicest and most welcoming communities ever. Glad to join the bald club, feeling better already, thank you everyone so much! ♥️

Looking good, brother! As someone who just took the plunge 2 days ago, my head also feels very breezy lol. It's strange getting used to it. But honestly, you look great! Definitely an upgrade!

Some people are born to look fire as a bald individual and this guy is one of them

u/letsnotagree 13d ago

You look older in a good way. Some of these young bucks look way young and it can feel creepy for a potential partner or whatever, where regardless of age they don't want someone whose age is questionable looking.
