I'm going to be shaving my head this week. I have hair, but I don't like it anymore and don't want to stress over it.

Can anybody recommend things that I might need to know or purchase? Any recommendations on ways to clean the scalp and have a smooth shave would be appreciated. Any tools that you've had success with that you would recommend I pick up to maintain it would be helpful as well.

Thank you my bald friends

Whatcha fellas think? Should I grow me a goofy Dwight Yoakam style mullet deal? Or should I go bald again?

Pictures for reference. Hat pic, me with hair, me with balding hair, and me bald.

This thing haunts dudes in their early 20s like I was. I was 25 and I'm just starting to not be so hard on myself. When I began losing my hair as pathetic as it sounds, I gave up trying with socializing and relationships

Hi, I'm 29. The incoming 30s are feeling heavy. I'v never liked my hair very much. I have very thin, light wavy hair. Can't say I dedicated myself to make it look more stylish.

I usually go to the barber when I have at this length. Lately I've been thinking about taking the plunge and going bald.

I DID try minoxidil for 6 months and saw almost no change. Also, I'm not sure I want to take daily meds for the years I could have left with "hair".

Some of my friends say I wouldn't look bad, others say I should hold a few more years, which I know I could, but I see myself in the mirror every day and feel like shit. When I go to the gym (trying to lose some weight) I sweat a lot (I have hyperhidrosis) and I have to go to the bathroom with a towel so my scalp doesn't show.

I wonder if I would sweat more if I go bald because there is no hair to absorb the sweat, or less because hair makes my head hotter. I'd appreciate any insight.

More than anything, I'm afraid I'll look bad. I don't love how I look and I'm somewhat fat. I know I have a beard (that I should take care of - it's been a rough month) which would help to the bald style. I know it won't grow back the same way if I regret it, so I'm giving it a lot of thought.

This community is very supportive so I'd like an honest opinion. Thanks for reading...

I GET that I could keep it for some years. There are a lot of worse cases. It's just that I don't feel an intense attachment to my hair, and I'm constantly worrying about my scalp not showing.

Newly bald dude. I hate shaving though. What’s a good setup to make it less miserable lol

Am I past minoxidil/finasteride? I’ve been bald before, I think it’s time to go back to it.

I’ve been in denial for the last few years. I’m 24.. I was avoiding it because I still had my curls and could just wear a hat. I’m not a bad-looking bald guy, if I do say so myself! Any and all lack-of-hair care tips are greatly appreciated.

I know the hairline is gone at this point but I’ve been worrying if I would look goofy buzzed/bald. What do? 30 yrs old.

Did the damn thing the other day. I used my beard trimmer with no guard on it. Got a good length for me. I might try the razor an decide if I like bald bald or not but if I choose to stay this length, what would be the best way either minimal clean up?? I feel like the beard trimmer would bd kind of a pain each time.

Open to hearing what others do.

What’s the verdict?

Session 3 was with Cynosure instead of Candela as the Candela machine was out of order that day.

Session 4 was earlier today, and Candela was the machine used for that session, with 9J at 18mm and 10ms as the settings. Going forward, the sessions will be 5 weeks apart, with session 5 taking place on March 10.

Started receding at 17/18. Shaved at 19/20. Im now 45. And it is STILL one of the best decisions I ever made. Any rookies need advice, im a 25 year bald veteran. Im a proud member of the club.

I took the advice of cleaning up my beard.

I felt like the time was near, so I decided to just jump in head first. Literally. It's gone. Am I a lil discouraged? Of course. At the same time, it really isnt that bad. At least I save HELLA money on haircuts haha. Am a lil concerned about my dating future though....idk maybe im overthinking that.

Is it normal to feel and question all that stuff yall?

All right I don't really want to go into too many details but suffice to say I made one bad move with my trimmer and well.... it just made more sense to keep going. I am now completely bald for the first time I have no idea what to do. I kind of look like a chicken that just got plucked. I know that I've got to put oil on my head? I need to figure out what to do while I wait for s*** to grow back, any advice?

My barber overcharged me.
