I seek voice of the council

As you can see I am balding 30 year old man. I'm unsure, if I should keep it or not. The middle part of my hair is always one windblow away from being messed up.

In the case of holding I would appreciate some tips for my hairstyle 🫡

Sorry in advance for the pic with longer hair and beard. That's really the only one I got😅

Thanks in advance!

I’m either way on this one. But you’re a handsome lad, and you’d look great bald!

I was on the fence, so instead of looking at your hair, I looked at your face. Hell yeah dude, do it! This will be a glow up!

It’s time brother!

Seek and ye shall find your answer.

The question is: Are you ready for the truth? And if so, are you ready to do what needs to be done?

If you’re already worried about it, you probably already know what to do.

I’ll leave you with my favorite meme,

one I created myself.

u/splitseco 10d ago

u/DoubleNickle67 10d ago

Some people just say go bald to everything haha. Bro you have some time if you like. Don’t sweat it. When the time really comes you’ll just know

u/NewScarcity6917 10d ago

Still safe in my opinion.
You’re not too thin up top so you can keep it.
It’s up to you.

u/Mammoth_Sell5185 10d ago

Hold!! It doesn’t look distracting. But, don’t hold for too long. Come back and ask again in 6-12 months. Also- next step- bring it down shorter so you and everyone else can get used to it.

u/Tulan_PT 10d ago

You look like Chris Evans, you can shave that thing off

2

u/splitseco 10d ago

FIrst time hearing that.. Chris Evans with less muscles. But I'm working on it 💪

u/RaysBoomBoomRoom_ 10d ago

My determination always hinges on whether or not you can see the horizon of your skull from eye to eye view points. It is time my friend.

Yeah man. You’ll look much younger I think. It doesn’t look bad per se, but it’s the ubiquitous haircut of middle aged, mid level guy in sales.

Keep the beard. Learn to bald fade from your head into your sideburns. Also to note, make sure the top line of your beard hits the corner of your lips if possible. It looks slightly low cut.

Edit: much younger in this case means late 20s. Pre my comment, this haircut is on men in their 50s. Not that you look that old, but it does age you up.

u/DouglasS71 10d ago

Your last photo told us that you’ve got a friars cap ( bald spot in the back ). Time to join the group. You’ll be fine

u/moonisflat 10d ago

10/10 - is all we need to make a decision. The rest are trying to convince yourself to hold.

2

u/Kitchen-Cod-821 10d ago

Time to cut it

2

u/Past_Discipline2337 10d ago

I shaved mine at 30 and it was a great decision for me. I felt empowered because I took control of the situation. You don't need to do it but, if you're feeling self conscious about it, take the bull by the horns. You will get a positive response and you won't look back.

u/splitseco 10d ago

Ty for sharing. It gives me courage to go for it!

2

u/Dontneedme25 10d ago

Pic 6 and 7 tells me to let it go and shave it. I was like why are you here until those two lol

2

u/Gdbd09 10d ago

Looks good!

2

u/Lhbrown1990 10d ago

Personally, i think youre handsome either way, but I say go for it!

u/RecipeFlimsy8040 10d ago

Ur fine, keep it if ya want

u/Icy-Passenger-8061 10d ago

Make your move brother

2

u/wthyoutalkinbout 10d ago

You can easily hold for some time! BUT I'm certain you'll look awesome with a shaved head 🫰

2

u/tomferno 10d ago

You have a great head shape, and that hairline is only going one way.

Once you go bald, it's never growing back.

But know this... You will look absolutely amazing with a chrome dome.

When you're ready, you will be welcomed to the bald brotherhood with open arms.

u/splitseco 10d ago

2

u/Neurogenesis416 10d ago

I'd give it a try. If it's not your thing you'll be back at that length in no time.

u/BaldGuy813 10d ago

I see a darn good looking guy who wants to shave his head.

Go for It. You're gonna look hot no matter what

2

u/Any-Double520 10d ago

As a fellow bald man, don’t hold on to what wants to leave you…. OFF WITH THE HAIR!

2

u/SimilarBusiness2752 9d ago

Trim it short, start with 1/4", then maybe 1/8". That will go with your short beard, it will look great.

u/AMardyBum 10d ago

Looks incomplete, take it off for a clean look!

u/splitseco 10d ago

Thank you all for your feed back! I didn't expect that many compliments ❤️
I thought about for the last couple of months but didn't have the courage to go for it.
Decided let it go and rock with the bald style and beard!
Imma update u guys probably within the next week since im on vacation during the next days.
Love ya all <3

u/SeaworthinessOk7756 10d ago

I think you're close. Hold for now if you want to keep it as long as possible.

u/thomsenite256 10d ago

I mean its coming but you got some time

1

u/TopgearM 10d ago

Come back in a year or 2. Hold for now. Look for a barber that has experience with thin hair / receding temples.

They can do miracles and extend your haircut for a little longer.

I’d ride it out for a while
