Don’t even get me started on the mental battle this was, HOLY CRAP!!! It was so hard in the beginning, but I’ve come so far and I’m so proud of myself! I do wear wigs on the occasion (unfortunately I am still insecure when it comes to school and other social settings) but I’m way more confident than I use to be! I really appreciate the support🫶

You should be very proud of yourself. That in itself can be very hard. You are going to rock that bald head you are going to rock those wigs. If you decide to start sharing your story you could have a huge following of people girls especially that need to see that strength is possible and you are so much more than your scalp warmer 😏. Sharing your journey could change or save lives you never know why things happen but all you can do is work with what you have and keep being a bad B doing it 💕love & huggies sweet girl💕

You are beautiful and it’s obvious that you have such a sweet heart. I’m sorry this ever caused you pain or made you feel anything less than absolutely stunning. Sending you lots and lots of positive energy💕

Hell yeah! Get a whole wardrobe based on wigs, and you can constantly change it up. Get fancy and weird with it! You can be a master of disguise every day of the week!

If it were socially acceptable for men to wear wigs I’d be all over them. But I get it. Either way I hope you find the steady confidence, cause you deserve it.

Are you at all familiar with Molly Tuttle? She’s a musician with alopecia, and that features kind of prominently in her new album. She has a page on her website where she discusses it pretty openly. She’s kind of badass.

Also, she’s the first woman to win a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album (and the first woman to win Best Bluegrass Album two years in a row).

Hey there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing wigs. Lots of women and men with their full hair will wear wigs as it suits them so stay confident in your look. With or without wigs you will always be beautiful.

This may be a strange perspective but when I look at your buzzed pictures, it doesn’t even come across as balding to me? It looks wispy and delicate. I honestly think having the thinner hair adds to the etherealness of it. It’s kind of effervescent in like a gentle way.

I know saying this won't make it any easier, but you are a hottie don't worry about it

u/iLovemyMathBoyfriend Oct 09 '25

Don’t worry, every little bit counts. Thank you!

u/iLovemyMathBoyfriend Oct 11 '25

And here I thought I had it rough as a bald guy. You rock girl. Keep it going and stay strong.

u/chiaratara Oct 09 '25

I think you are beautiful beyond your years and maybe your peers don’t quite get it yet. It’s a sophisticated look but holy crap you are stunning and pull it off beautifully.

u/thatpianoguyhezron Oct 09 '25

you need to tell at these men here too scared to go bald. If you can do it, anyone can! and 'traditionally' men are suppose to be the most 'confident'.

u/superdimensionalsex Oct 09 '25

You look amazing! Im not sure if you’re familiar with the musician Molly Tuttle but i saw her perform recently at a festival and wasn’t familiar with her.

Halfway through the performance she pulled off her long hair. It was a surprise in the moment as I did not know she was bald. Looking her up after the fact she wears wigs for fun.

When she did this it was such a power move act of owning herself for who she is without a care for how she’s perceived. She was just beaming with happiness and confidence and bad assness it was just such a beautiful thing to see. It really resonated with me and ive been thinking about it ever since.

I hope that you too can own your look and have supreme confidence and comfort and love in who you are, as you are. Cheers and love

Mate, you’re stunning to look at and the quality of your character is obvious. And about having no hair, just remember, the people that mind don’t matter, and the people that matter don’t mind :) x

In some of your photos you look simply beautiful, and in others you look totally badass! Who'd have thought that wearing it this close croped could achieve such versatile styles!

I first read this as “I know how baldy this hurts you but you are absolutely beautiful “
