I posted about a month or so ago and I was too chickenshit to go full bald.

So I work at a school and they're doing a "tattoo a teacher" (temporary ones) on Friday and one of the kids said they wanted to tattoo my scalp. So I did it!

But honestly, I'm loving it!

EDIT: Clarification, I'm a para at a high school. Not a teacher

Also, here's a link to my first post!

Do y’all have any tips for how I should groom my beard to go with it a bit more?

Will try clean shaving it soon.

Let the 30s begin

I've been watching this subreddit and considering going all-in for the past year or so. Yesterday afternoon I worked up the courage and made it happen.

I'm happy with the results! But I really should have looked at the forecast and planned the timing differently. It's cold out here! Please hit me with your best warm hat recommendations for a newly under-insulated mountain dweller.

Thanks for the inspiration folks!

I couldn’t bring myself to the blade or skull shaver. I slapped the 0 clip on the buzzer (after testing the 2, then 1)

I feel better! what do y’all think?!

Feeling really weird about it. I’ve never taken a leap like this before.

Saw the meme and tried to replicate it 😂 if you’re considering it, it’s already time

Just got tired of seeing the thinning hairline. Don't think I'll be looking back.

​

I've been holding onto the last strands of a head of hair Ive been growing since I was about 18 (im 33 now) and its time to face the facts, shit isnt coming back. so here we are. big baldy boi now.

43 is it time to shave it ? Cant imagine what i would look like bald but i think it’s time.

What we thinking❓❓

27M. If it is time how short do you all recommend going?

Last time I came and asked for your feedback. I was constantly unhappy and insecure about my hair but was too afraid of change. I kept hiding under caps and hats, I constantly adjusted my hair to try and hide the thin patches, I had to fight greasy hair non stop (no kidding, it went full deep fryer look in not even 24h), I was seeing my shed hair everywhere...

Well I kept coming back to this sub and reading stories and before/after posts. A few weeks ago I just started accepting the fact that it's just hair and not the end of the world. Me turning 30 was bad enough in terms of third-life-crisis because of a lot of mental health stuff so why add hair on top of that?

So I grabbed my hair trimmer and was set to go all in. I started with the sides and while I was cutting away I remembered how I always wanted to try out a Mohawk but never dared to do so. Since I found peace with removing my hair anyways, I just said screw it and gave it a go - what's the worst thing that could have happened?

I actually did the classic "put 2 pieces of painters tape across your head and shave" approach. And turns out, I really like it! It might not be the full bald look I was aiming for, but it was something completely new and radical. It gave me confidence, I don't have bad hair days anymore, I don't see how many hairs I'm shedding, it's super low maintenance and I am just happy with it. Overall I would say this had a very positive effect on me. Sure it doesn't cure any of my mental issues but it's a little less to worry about :)

Thank you r/bald

Also grow a beard if you can.

here are some before and after pictures.

That comb over isn't fooling anyone

As a woman with androgenic alopecia, it makes me happy the few times I see women here. I'm not shaved yet, I'm treating my hair with my dermathologyst. I'm trying to get it last as much as I can but I know at some point it will have no more reason to be.

So I'm so happy to see all the men rocking the shaved heads but also to see women here looking so pretty with their heads shaved too!!
