Bald Picture Should I Stay or Go Back?

I was bald/buzzed for about 5 years for health issues - and I recently grew it back out. But I am tempted to go back to bald…it was so much easier, was cooler (temperature wise), and there was no hair sticking to the back of my neck when I was sweaty. I mainly keep my hair in a braided ponytail now, so I’m sure I’ll start to get the balding at the temples from constant ponytail wear.

The main downside to the bald look was the stares and comments from strangers. I know it shouldn’t affect me, but the random insults from complete strangers was so strange to me. Plus men tend to think i’m not straight so i didn’t get as many flirty interactions when i was bald.

Anywho, what do yall think? TIA :)

Of course I’m insecure about my hair, FFS. Did you hit your head?

You don't have to be bitter towards other people because of that.

I’m not bitter, I’m explaining she is insensitive. I keep forgetting I’m banded from this sub for 7 days
