    Saw pictures of me from the top/back today. As much as I hate to do it, I think by the end of the year I’m going to have to take the plunge and euthanize my hair. Ive tried to keep it going but you have to consider quality of life at this point.

        Stay strong comrade. I know it's inevitable but part of me still wishes I could keep it and not look like a fuckin dweeb.

          How people feel about you is how they see you. Your friends think your cute, regardless of what’s going on up top.

        I've been doing it for a couple years and the most I can say is that it feels different. Technically there's hair there, but its all young and fuzzy and doesn't ever mature, meaning that by appearance it doesn't seem that different.

      I started balding early. Large recession at 21 that I covered with bangs until around 24/25 and then started using concealer creams and hair fiber powders until around 27-28 when it got to be too much maintenance. I hated it at first but within the last few years or so I've become really confident and accepting of being bald. Idk, it seems like a big deal now but you'll eventually grow accustomed to it. It can feel strange at first because it feels like a part of your identity is slipping away but over time it'll really become more comfortable and you'll find that no one really cares or is bothered by it.

      The only downside is I can't wear doc martens without looking like a skinhead but heyy

        You've really got no choice except to get a trojan records cut and wear it everywhere.

      I started balding around 21/22, currently 23 going on 24 in a couple days. I buzz it with a cheap phillips clipper with no guard about once or twice a week depending on the season (I work inside and outside so headwear is accepted in the fall and winter). I tried shaving with a razor but I found it kinda daunting since I get in grown hairs really easily so I'm putting that off until I get more confident. I kinda like not having to fuss with my hair anymore and paying for haircuts tbh, it helps if you have a decently round shaped head though.
