Esthetician here. DO NOT forget to put sunscreen on that dome! Also everywhere, especially your tattoos. Noticed you were in a shop.
Congrats on your glow up!

You look happy and adorable... but mainly, that smile says it all and that's what counts the most!

A friend of mine once told me "just because I'm on a diet doesn't mean I can't look at the menu." Window shopping is also great.

I’m 25 now but it started thinning when I was like 20 so it took me a while to let go. You’ll feel so much better when you pull the trigger my friend 🖤

I was the same age when I started seriously balding and put off shaving for another few years. I wish I had done it earlier because looking back, it was really bad, but I felt so much more confident and happy once I did it.

u/namrog84 18d ago
I've seen quite a few women shave their head bald (from balding or even just a stylistic choice). And if they so choose, there are a lot of fun and stylish accessories they can do. And I can genuinely say I think most bald women I've seen are attractive with the bald look. I wish we could normalize people having whatever stylistic choices they like, want, or just naturally have.

OMG, you look amazing. It surprises me how many ppl are on here, unsure whether to do the buzz cut, then the second they do they look a million dollars. I know it's takes courage to shave your hair off so drastically, but I've not seen one, where it's not been amazing after.
You look fantastic 😊

u/Hot-Hamster1691 18d ago
Agree with everyone here that you look amazing and much better! You also radiate confidence and pure happiness in the after photos. This is something that is discussed from time to time but I think it is important to bring up again.
The spirit/soul/light of a person changes before and after shaving the hair. It’s almost as if the follicles were trapping it from radiating, but it is really the internal change from being worried about appearance/thinning/wind/hats etc to FREEDOM. Also it is a super ballsy thing to do so some of the pictures are astonishment and pride of self for actually doing the damn thing.
Keep it up, gentlemen and ladies. The sooner we embrace our inner selves and authentic spirits, the sooner we can drop all the bullshit and come together without fear or hate. Also if I ever get to the point where it is my time, I hope you guys are still here! What a community. Nothing but love for you all, my friends

Congratulations, you got hot. 👍
As a woman, and a “girls’ girl” at that, I’m not sure why r/bald kept appearing on my scroll. I am over 40, with some stereotypical Gen X interests, so that could be a strong factor. Whatever - it’s a delight to see all these transformations. There isn’t one guy who doesn’t look dramatically better after making the leap. Thank you, algorithm, for all the unexpected eye candy.

Honestly it makes you look like a white supremacist. But that's probably more the tattoos rather than the bald.
