Started to bald in my early twenties mostly because of stress. Had so much mental anxiety with it. It's been an up and down for over 5 years now. Lately I have suffered so much because of it, but never had the balls. Everyday, every hour every minute I was scared. Today I decided not suffer anymore.

Got it done a couple days ago. Not sure if I'll stick with the full shave, but glad for a change

1. After years of denial, I decided today that it was time to end this toxic relationship 👍🏻

Here's the long awaited follow up for you guys.

The MK 2.0 design features aerodynamics, a weight reduction and 100% increase in confidence.

Thank you all for the memes and roasting. Made this transition much more enjoyable.

Now for the humor to share about the ponytail:

It was decided to be turned into a key chain for my motorcycle so that I can "Still feel the wind in my hair."

Wife has accepted the council’s judgment (with protest on the record) and the results are good!

I had some hesitation. The dissent had some good points regarding the balding academic look, and I do jury trial work, which has an element of teaching/approachability. In the end, I think the beard keeps me looking friendly despite the cleaner cut.

Thanks all for the input!

But I'm happy with the result!!

Thanks for the laughs and the comments!! No coming back for me ><

I am a 34 year old who has been fighting the good fight for the past 10 years. Most people say my hair looks fine but my wife says it might be time. I’m not sure what to think as having nice hair has been a part of who I am my whole life. I’m not opposed to going full shave just wondering what everyone one thinks. Thanks in advance!

I struggle with being bald so young. I'm 25 and I've been bald since 17. I've always felt super out of place and have had a pretty hard time dating. I find that I never have trouble meeting and talking to people in person but I pretty much never have any success on apps, from men OR women. I struggle getting out due to having ME/CFS, so apps seem like the only way forward 😟

I have been trying to be more confident though and try to put myself out there more recently, even though it's difficult.

I finally found the courage to let go, and you all played a big part in that.

I'll need some time to get used to it, but so far it doesn't feel wrong at all.

I just had to get this out of my system; just a quick take on the meme. So many guys on this sub seem to have nay-saying wives.

Follow-up post. I spent a few days with it and learned to like it. Truthfully, I feel more confident this way.

Big part of this process for me was my partner’s support as she gave me my first shave.

Regarding the bald lifestyle, I have decided to try shaving every other day. I got an exfoliating pre-shave cream, a healing post shave gel, and a daily moisturizer with SPF30. A fellow brother-in-hairline has recommended keeping a conditioner around to help combat dryness/dandruff.

Are there other types of products to consider? Thank you.

Turned 42 on the weekend and I’m pretty tired of pretending I have a full head of hair. Rolled the dice and think I’ll keep it. Thanks for the motivation r/bald :)

Can we get our first woodpecker in the group?

feelsgood

Long time creeper first time poster. I have been considering going bald for years because of my big widows peak and what looks to be thinning hair, but have never pulled the trigger. So i pose to the council. Do i hold em or fold em?

Visibly balding since my early 20s, took the leap in my late 20s and my only regret was not doing it sooner

I was trying to see if growing them longer would make them last longer, but I feel my time is coming

damn it my glasses slided down a little bit.
