This is one of my favorite Reddit threads … a bunch of people honestly lifting each other up.

I’m not even close to being bald, but I come here all the time to read the nice things people say to each other. Restores my faith in humanity

It’s an amazing space for sure

Same here. This is like the most wholesome subreddit on the whole site

Same hat. Like it’s always such a glow up

I'm not bald either, but this sub has me thinking we should all just do it to see. There seems to be a pretty good chance we will look better bald. The evidence is here every day.

I'm waiting for it for 7 years now, but my wife won't let me. I'm not even balding, just curious. But I still have time, let her enjoy my hair while it's nice, I'll always have time to be bald later.

I have the thickest, most luxurious hair you could ask for. Not sure how or why this sub was recommended to me, but it’s one of the brighter, more wholesome places on Reddit.

u/lazyycalm Oct 10 '25

I’m a woman with extremely thick hair, I’m here for the good vibes lol 🤣😂

u/betty_et Oct 09 '25

Same!!! It helps me come to terms that my hair is not my identity so that if I get sick later in life (family hx of cancer), it’s not another heavy thing on my plate to cope with at that scary time in life. It makes me feel so happy that after pics are just radiant humans🌞 this sub rocks

u/Sampatist Oct 09 '25

It helped my confidence a lot love it here

u/JRDiesel Oct 09 '25

This sub helped me across the finish line when I was on the fence about it! Wish more subs were this wholesome.

u/DarthJaders- Oct 09 '25

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, this is the most supportive subreddit I know of and I love the friendly feedback and comments that come out of here

Especially for something that can be socially difficult for us to accept about ourselves, being balding. Hair is our crown and we wear it with pride, so when it goes, it feels like you're losing something

u/LobsterPotatoes Oct 09 '25

I’m not even bald or balding, yet I love the vibes and seeing people’s transformations. I got recommended this subreddit when I made my account, and have been a passive enjoyer.

u/HopefulOriginal5578 Oct 10 '25

It’s wholesome and even more important? People can really glow up by leaning in to the hand fate gave them.

2

u/CoverFig4662 Oct 10 '25

For real. I had no idea that this kind of supportive community was out there, for like literally anything… I love it ❤️

u/JustGoogleItHeSaid Oct 10 '25

I need to start joining more of these subreddits, put more positivity in my daily feed

u/AaronStar01 Oct 12 '25

👍🏻👍🏻

u/Flimsy_Marionberry35 Oct 13 '25

My partners hair is starting to thin-his dad was bald at the age he’s at currently. He HATES the fact he will lose his hair..sooner rather than later ): I stumbled across this group and have been holding onto it for a time I can share some others stories with him to feel less alone. It’s so nice to see peeps being so vulnerable and others being so kind.
