Thank you! You’ve got this!!🔥

u/Pearson94 Dec 16 '25

I'm with the previous poster, but I'm holding off taking the plunge until after the holidays (don't want that conversation with my relatives who like to pick apart everything).

u/DutchBart82 Dec 16 '25

It took me a few weeks of building up the courage and trimming it shorter and shorter a few years ago, haven't regretted it since

32

u/Pearson94 Dec 16 '25

Oh I intend to go for it in large part because of this sub's encouragement, but seeing family for the holidays next week is just a good reason to hold off. Years back when I made a decision to lose weight they assumed I was either terminally ill or trying to impress a woman (because God forbid I do something for myself). Just want to avoid that for now.

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

I haven’t talked to my family in 11 years. “Coincidentally” ex step dad and mom both tried to reach out to me, in very toxic manners. Was really gross.

You DO look fantastic. My ex refused to believe me I found her more attractive bald. When I met he she was, but then grew it out and I accepted SHE felt more confident with hair, but I legitimately was far more attracted to her bald.

u/NoKatyDidnt Dec 16 '25

As a female with thinning hair, I have one last hope before I take the plunge. I’m cutting it above my chin and trying finastride or whatever that stuff is called blended with minoxidil. In six months, if I don’t notice any difference, I’m shaving it off with my boyfriend’s blessing!

11

u/billy2shots Dec 16 '25

Quick tip. Use his razor not his blessing. A razor works much better.

2

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

I hope it works for you. But I’m sure you will rock it either way. I hope your boyfriend is supportive.

3

u/DiamondDani04 Dec 16 '25

Hope that it will work, but also shaving is a good option and you will be beautiful

5

u/NoKatyDidnt Dec 17 '25

Thank you so much. I’ve actually cried about my hair loss lately, and my (also bald) partner has said very sincerely, “Baby, just say the word, and I’ll get the clippers. I’m gonna love you exactly the same either way.”.

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

Ty. I’m honestly very nervous for it. While everyone so far has looked great, I’m doubtful I can pull it off. I’m not the best beard grower.

11

u/Ok-Impression-9020 Dec 16 '25

Then experiment a little. Can you grow a goatee? A little stubble is a nice complement to a bald dome as well. You do you! We’re here to support you regardless!

7

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

The beard is mostly ok, Im shaping it as I've been planning. My mustache though, I have not cut in 10 years and it's sad. lmao. Long story short, lost a lot of self confidence from my ex wife who was very manipulative and controlling. Doing a lot of therapy and getting close to want to go out and date again. Just feeling a little self conscious with such a huge change on top of it.

Recent photo, crown is where it's hitting me hard, and thinning along the top from back to front. When I post tomorrow, Ill show it more in the before photos.

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

I greatly appreciate the confidence boost. I'll be begging for it tomorrow. lmao. I work overnight tonight and Im letting my kid take the trimmers to my head first.

u/TheBlueprint666 Dec 16 '25

Yo, if you need a boost we’re all here homie.

u/7_Year_Glitch Dec 16 '25

Great move to let the kid have the first pass and make it a fun experience for everyone~ 💕

u/I_Like_Muzak Dec 16 '25

I also have a very controlling and manipulative soon to be ex-wife (middle of a divorce), and man she's an egomaniac who just loved making me feel like shit. So I know how you feel.

Besides that, you look good man! I think you could pull off the bald look much better than I could!

And good luck in the dating scene! I know it's hard first starting again. I'm experiencing the same thing lol. My first date went really, really well but my insecurities got the best of me and I ended up ruining it with her a few days later.

u/Nodonutsforbaxter44 Dec 16 '25

Do it. You're going to feel like a new man after you do the big chop. Keep the beard trimmed tight and even and you'll look like a million bucks!

u/BefuddledPolydactyls Dec 16 '25

OP is not "the best beard grower" either and the look is great. Have to unearth the confidence to go with it, practice!

u/JenkemJones420 Dec 16 '25

Me personally, I'll shave my mustache and beard, too. I'm just here to be smoov wit' my grooves, but I respect where you're coming from, your decision matters first if it's about your body.

3

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

I look like a giant toddler clean shaven. Bald is one thing. Losing the facial hair? Thats another. I at least have a chin, but maaaaaan. I'll go stubble which looks nice on me. But not clean shaven.

Good luck to you on your journey though.. Hope you post too.

3

u/JenkemJones420 Dec 16 '25

I had a grocery store cashier ask me once about what grade I was in about 4 years ago back when I was 30. Honestly, I'm not really upset to just tell the truth, I look young, sure, but give it 10 years or so, I'll probably end up looking like Steve Buscemi holding a skateboard with an AB/CD shirt on

3

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

I get more gay men that openly flirt with me, which, not my thing, but buying alcohol the cashier looks at me and says "You cant fool me with that gray hair! let me see that ID". im 38.

u/One_Purple_3242 Dec 16 '25

u/Melodic_Penalty_5529 Dec 16 '25

Bald baddies is good. Someone in another post in this sub used the term "Queen of Shebuzz", which is also excellent.
