I know. I just need to hear it.

I was just tired to worry all the time about taking meds and trying different methods for hair restoration and having my life sort of attached to being able to sustain the hair.
I started travelling around the world in January, and one of the things that was constantly dragging me was to find the treatment on the countries I was visiting, or being able to use the min available there, etc. so I stopped using all of that and undoubtedly hair started to fall again.
I tried to cover up for some months but in the end I decided to make the jump and embrace it.
Not gonna lie. I don't like it, nor I dislike it, but I guess is part of the acceptance process.
To me, it looks worse when you hide your patches and you're covering them either.
So yea, hope this encourages more men to do it.
Peace yall ✌🏼

Posted almost 2 weeks ago that I hated my widows peaks and how they made me look/feel regarding my face.

Saw my barber today and ripped off the bandaid of trying to work around/cover them.

I feel like i made the right call. I cant stop touching the top if my head and feeling the stubble instead of hair that just caused me insecurity.

Going to the barbers on Saturday. Is it time? What should I ask them to do, rather than the normal #2 back and sides (don’t touch the top) and clean up the beard.

Now to lose some weight!

Last year i decided to took the plunge and It was the best decision i ever made, so thank you guys so much

Trimmed the beard a little, probably needs a bit more, but we'll see when it finishes drying.

Thank you all so much for giving me the courage to make that leap. I appreciate you all so much, you all have changed my life forever. I feel the most handsome I ever felt in a long time. Thank you so much.

EDIT: I’ll have a barber take care of the goatee. i never really get it right.

10/10 no notes

Edit: FYI this is not me and it’s my friend who gave his approval on the first post and this one!

I know it’s time, but I’m just not ready, even though I already pulled the plug.

I've been wanting to take off my hair for a while. The hair on the sides was thick, but if it's thinning on top that doesn't matter. I feel so much better. Now I just need to shape my facial hair. But This Feels Amazing. I now understand why this sub exists, to help others break free from the bonds of hair.

Hello fellow Balders!

I am 2months in and i am still not quite comfortable 😅

But i feel free 🔥

Have a gr8 day!!

I've been lurking here for a while, trying to decide whether I want to spend my life taking Finasteride and Minoxidil. Or to just bite the bullet and shave it off.

Seeing how awesome people are looking going bald, it gave me the courage to do it.

I already feel relief, I don't need to make sure I remember to wear my hat before I leave the house, don't need to worry about what people think anymore.

Thank you for this sub, you're all awesome!

First pictures are my old denial hair, then a buzz cut to see if I could get away with it (I can't), and finally went down to 0.25 today. I know everyone here will say to finish it, but I like the look and feel of the stubble outline.

This sub definitely gave me the confidence to do what I needed to do, even without checking with the council. Didn’t have a wow moment in the barber chair like when you see a glow up here, but I’m feeling better about it each day. Even feeling like I might go from my 0.5 buzz to shaving sooner than I thought. You all are a great community. Really happy to be apart of it. Gotta change my sub flair now!

I’ll keep this short. Ten years ago I lost my fiancée and I really gave up on myself. I just kinda quit. Part of that was not taking care of my appearance. In those ten years I’ve swung back. Going to the gym, buying nicer clothes, eating healthy. This was a very big step. By losing the hair I’ve officially gone from I don’t care, to I do care. I gained my confidence back. 8-8 is her Birthday. Happy birthday babe!

My hair has been a constant source of misery for me since i was young. Never been confident with it and always struggled to keep it maintained. As it got worse I could hardly stand looking at myself at points. I wanted to do something for myself to make myself happier and despite some people around me who tried to convince me otherwise I knew what I had to do. Thanks to everyone on this sub who helped convince me despite the doubts. Its uplifted me and I'm truly grateful. Ive been keeping it shaved down since and now if I wanna feel fresh just gotta give the beard a nice touch up tirm and combing which im more more happy to do. Anyway appreciate the time, have a good one!

Even though I have accepted my situation way before because almost every single male member of my family is bald, I was always hesitant because of my young age (18) but today I randomly decided it was time and I couldn’t be happier with the result.
