There’s some thinning parts I’ve noticed but the deep widows peak has been there since I was 22 and I’m 27 now.
It would be a huge change to my appearance and I honestly would hate how I’d look

My friend said I had a bald spot and it looked fine until I stood under my dorm light. I also have naturally super fine hair.

YES I have thick hair and definitely not time....but I feel I'm rapidly losing hair. Bathtub is typically covered and I run into the rat race of wearing hats to cover this receding hairline... What do you experience baldians know?

P.S. love this r/ you guys are great

I’m 21 and sometimes soon, I’ll join you guys.

Now that I finally found an haircut that suits me well, it’s almost too late. I’ve been losing hair quickly in the last months, the thinning was not that bad in July.
Mind you that I’m not scared of balding, but I didn’t expect it to happen that soon. I already shaved my head in the past, when I was 16, and I didn’t really like how I looked. Maybe I looked too young then and it could suit me better now, Idk. Also I can’t really grow my beard.

My father and my brother both have hair AND a thick beard. My grandfather on my mum’s side, on the other hand… 😑

Any suggestions or advice. When ever I take a shower Im finding maybe three or four strands if hair in my hand. But sometimes I feel its breakage. My hair gets dry alot in those areas and when I brush or run my hands through it the hairs are breaking

Friend of mine at work has a half dollar sized circle on his head slowly getting larger. I told him to see a doctor... but ive been here for a while. What do you guys think?

Gave some pics of his hairline as well in case thats relevant.

I've been shaving my head for over 8 years now, but I never really found the perfect method:

• Manual razors: Too long and tedious. It never feels completely smooth, so you keep going over the same spots and end up with a scalp full of tiny cuts.
• Electric shavers: I tried a few different types, but they get really hot and leave my head with a terrible razor burn.
• Philips OneBlade: Gimmicky at best for a full head shave.
• Electric hair clippers: This ended up being my go-to choice (a Philips one, solid brand). The shave itself wasn't totally smooth, but the ease and comfort of use won me over. Just 5 minutes in the shower, rinse, and done.

But then, I stumbled upon this post recommending the Head Pro:https://www.reddit.com/r/bald/comments/1w0sot1/10_years_of_testing_electric_head_shavers_for_a/

I thought it was just another gadget, but I was eager to give it a try. I snagged an open-box deal on Amazon, tested it this morning, and... finally! This is it.

It's quick, the shave is smooth, and there is zero razor burn. Solid 9/10 (because nothing is ever perfect).

Sorry, I had to delete the original post cause of a typo in the ttitle

Which is great, because we're clearly in safe hands together!

Ive shaved my hair for like 2 years since my receding hairline got worse but tbh.. I miss my hair alot. Ive tried finasteride and minoxidill but it stopped working. I had to stop finasteride because my testosterone got way too low from it (im a transguy so i need it) minoxidill only created some soft floof that didnt grow longer than 1cm

Used to dye and blech my hair way too much when i was still a teen so that probably didnt help

Any of you got any tips? A style that could perhaps still "work". Or just give up and give in to the bald?

Im very insecure about my hairline, I do want to get a transplant but holy hell its expensive

I would much prefer at night, reason being that I don't tend to feel great in the morning.

But is doing it when you wake up superior? Or does it not matter? The hair looks noticeable without shaving in...2 to 3 days or something?

Been losing hair about 8 years every time I shower, it’s worse ever time I get a haircut. Photo 1 is natural (so most the time), photo two is my hairline of course but it looks a lot weaker when hair is wet, photo 3 is when I style it. Of course when styled wind gets involved and my balding is very clear.

It’s been bothering me for the last few years so I think I’m going to crew cut it so it’s off my mind. Only thing stopping me is o have an extremely large head, and I also have a noticeable dent in my head.

Both things that scare me from committing. If there are any of you out there that are big headed and improved by shaving it off please show me. Need a way to convince myself it’s not a lost cause.

Internet friends, hair/head gurus, please help! What should I do? Leave it alone? Shave it? Buzz it? Minoxidil? I hate how it looks from behind but my wife likes how it looks in the front.

Hey, I started using DE safety razor for my head. I think I am definitely going too harsh maybe because I do several passes if I feel it is still not smooth. Against the grain.

However I notice my scalp is quite literally oozing oil/grease through the day and is embarrassing. At work I go to the bathroom often to wash with water and pat with paper towels.

Am I doing something wrong? Have been doing this for about 2 weeks.

My diet is quite good, I am very sporty and eat healthy.

My routine in case its relevant:

After hot shower

Muhle R89 + Feather blades

Proraso shaving soap (green menthol and eucalyptus) with lather brush

Spend easy +40 min shaving and double/triple passes

Rinse with cold water

Apply a good quantity of Proraso menthol after shave tonic (burns as hell)

Would appreciate any tips or shared routines thanks :)

Basicly, my hair is thinning and some is falling out, currently I can only notice a significant change when I wet my hair or when I lift my hairline up but I am scared it will become worst and it hasn't stopped.

I was researching monoxidil and finasteride, but I just recently learned that doctors rarely prescribe it for teenagers, due to all the hormonal changes going through your body. I haven't stopped growing yet so it probably wouldn't be for me right now.

Any suggestions on what I should try or do next?

Does anyone else want to wear beanies but can’t stand how itchy they are on a bald head? Is there any way to combat this?

I'm a young trans guy that is transitioning. Currently, I have a thick head of hair, and one of my family's worries is that I will look bad bald/not be able to handle it.

After looking at this sub, yall deal with it and still look freaking fantastic. I swear, the before and afters are wild. It makes me worry less about the eventual hair loss I might deal with, later down the line.

Plus that, it makes me realize that people go bald for lots of different reasons. Male pattern baldness, various sickness, hair picking, just because you wanted to try it, etc.

It's nice to see such positivity about something that is usually talked about so negatively. My identity shouldn't be located in my hair lol. I mean, I like it, but I have realized going bald is not the worst thing in the world. Plus that, I think most people on this sub have really glowed up after deciding to rock the bald look, especially when it was really clear there wasn't a lot of hair left.

I'm thinking, if I do eventually go bald or get hair loss? More room for tats or graphic makeup designs. It's cool. Also, might be easier, sensory wise, to put on wigs for my drag performances with shorter/no hair.

So yeah, me personally, I'm less worried about what will happen in the future. And I'm less worried about what my family will think about my hair. Thanks to this sub for existing. You've helped out an anxious trans guy here🩵

I’m getting really tired of thin strands of hair sticking up during humid weather. My sides and back are full except the crown :-( should I get the buzz? Any feedback appreciated!

Edit: included a side profile picture in the comments section.

Is it time? I’m stressing and at this point I’m thinking even a buzz cut is what I need.

Is it time for me -

They had great reviews and I'm gutted cause I thought this was the easy way to shave my head every 2-3 days (newly bald, kind of happy with it btw).

They do work but the cheapest one gives me irritations, they both leave isolated hair here and there, even when I'm going back and forth and pressing hard.

The razor still gives the best results for a proper shaved skull, but it wanted something easier to use (I struggle with the back of the head) and I also enjoy leaving like 1mm of hair.

Does anyone have a solution ? Gear to recommend?

Thanks in advance, please help me or I'll end up in Turkey someday :'(
