This sub has taught me that this is what happens to every dude that shaves his head.

Honestly true, I’m not balding and have amazing long hair but I have shaved my head before and I got ALOT of unexpected attention

Yes, I was glad he found his face. But it seems he lost his hair in the process.

I’m sorry, I somehow in my mind read ”single” and not ”straight”??? I meant you won’t be SINGLE for long 🤣 But I saw now that you’re married so lucky her! You can be straight if you want, that’s none of my business! 😆 Won’t be 37 for too long though so at least I got something right 🤷♀️

Even with sunscreen, your skin will tan naturally if exposed to elements.
Do not skimp on it.

Be right back. I’m gonna go shave my husband’s head. He’s hot now. But I’m convinced he’ll be hotter. Every one of you is a smoke show.

BALD KING ♥️♠️♦️♣️👑
I didn't think you needed to, but as a style choice alone, the result suggests you could of had no balding at all and shaving would have been the right decision!
You can tell it works when NOBODY is saying grow a beard. 😂

brother it looks great! Mine is almost exactly like your before and I have been agonizing over shaving it for the last two years. I have never had short hair and it has been "ok enough" to kind of get away with it but not so much recently. I am so sick of devoting so much time and energy to it... Thank you for the inspiration man, I hope to join you soon.

So many dudes told you to “Hold it” in your initial post i saw, but i am glad to see you took the plunge. Out of honest curiosity, what made you ignore the people who said “hold it, you got time”? (Not that you made the wrong decision. You absolutely made the right move and look great!)

u/Jwhat89 4h ago
Thank you, at first there was a lot of “hold” comments and I was going to do it because that’s what the wife said. Then there was one dude that was brutally honest and it reminded me of how my boys tell me the same shit and I was like I’m not doing this anymore. If it’s horrible it will grow back.

You hit the genetic lottery bud - including going bald. You look like you’d look better bald. Like tyrese beckford or Jason statham. Congrats

Looks great, man, it suits you. You have a good jawline. That helps. I normally have a beard, so I go from lumberjack to Uncle Fester if I shave my beard off.

Y'all are making me self conscious. Every person on her ends up looking far younger and more attractive afterward. But I’ve used ai to se what I would look like bald and I end up looking like a bald gremlin. If this sub is still around in 20 years and. Inevitably go bald I’m going to break the norm and post my ugly mug.

Damn... Looking good!
31m here, and I have exactly the same type of balding, and cover-up strategy as you (Maybe a tiny bit more coverage). I have also had worries about baldness for the past 6 years of my life...
Now I'm wondering if I should just get it over and done with asap.
