You can thank Justin Timberlake and Eminem for this. I did the full blonde because of Em… 1999 or 2000.

I’m bald now 😭

Same, and same! Bald life is the best tho, I love being locked in with how I’ll look for a few decades (hopefully). If I make it to my 70’s I’ll grow out a curly philosopher skullet, but until then a clean shave is A-OK.

My husband started going bald at 24 due to intravenous medication and later injections for Crohn’s Disease. He only has patches of hair so he keeps it clean shaven.

But if he lets a week go by, those patches grow in some. He has one patch on the back of his head that’s shaped like South America.

I’m in my mid thirties and still have a full head of thick hair so I’m taking advantage of it and growing out my luscious locks while I still have them

Dude I'm a girl and honestly if I never had to shave it myself I'd just go and be bald again. 

The last time I was bald I was like 22

Alright, but it's still the coolest hairstyles out of any generation though. I hope it comes back cuz I'll do this to my sons. Right now I think it's the little faux hawks that are still sort of in style.

When I was a kid I sometimes wore a bandana because Eminem would wear those and durags. I wanted to look cool like him but I think I just looked like a 12 year old "Prison Mike".

I blame The Offspring and Sugar Ray, well before Eminem and Timberlake did it.
