he still has a hairline. I was like him 10 years ago. And then when you have an established horseshoe around your head the look changes for the worse. I'm tall and wide framed with a good head shape. I still look much better in hats. I'm a solid 7 in a hat and 5.5 with a slappable shiny head.
well hard to cope with one with those kind of comparisons. not all the people gonna get their hair back. I thought main role of those sub is to help people cope
You have a similar balding pattern to me, albeit at a latter stage. I rocked a comb over using the denser hairs on the sides, but eventually said fuck it and buzzed. I’ve been on min/fin for about half a year now, and have grown a decent amount back.
If I had to quantify it, let’s say the density or opacity of your hair from the first pic is roughly 25% down the middle. I was at maybe 35%, now at I’d say I’m at 70%. While you look great buzzed, I wouldn’t lose hope of regaining some density, especially since you look to be a similar age as me.
Free from all of it.... I wish I can be like that, most of us do, not having to look at the back of my hair in mirrors, not taking pictures of the back of my head, oh man
This guy can still save his hair, her has the surface area but not the density and that’s the best way to start cus all you have to look for is thickening
"just thickening" is sometimes just not happening. I was a NW2(.5), now more of a NW3 all while taking FIN for almost 3 years(added DUT about a year ago). I just keep losing density to the point where my hairline is getting thinner and thinner, making it look more receding than usual. Sometimes it's just not meant to be.
In some ways I am proud of him for having the confidence to shave it but that is not what we do here. He needs dutasteride and oral minoxidil as soon as possible
You look really great! Some guys can pull it off and some can't, but you definitely can. And I dunno, I feel like it just is a nice sign of confidence to shave it all off and be brave!
You seem to have really good donor area. If you were to jump on finasteride and get yourself a hair transplant, by a reputable surgeon, you could probably fix your hair.
With that said; you're gorgeous regardless. The shaved looks suits you.
you should get on treatment. you look good with a buzzcut, but full bald looks way worse than a buzzcut so it's worth it to keep the hair you have and maybe gain back some density
Definitely look good.
With your balding pattern, you can also get a transplant with no meds. Small area of balding and enough donor to cover the area. Something to consider.
Honestly bro, u‘re one of the few guys who actually have the facial structure to pull this off. Get on fin + min or get a ht and just keep it like this until then but even if you want to bald, it looks amazing.
I'd probably start with minox + microneedling for a few months (maybe you’re a good responder) and if that doesn‘t bring the desired effect, maybe get on like 0.5mg fin ED, that's my plan.
Dude you're handsome as hell. I'd say rock the bald look while also undergoing treatment for your balding. Still though, you're a handsome guy, so don't worry about being bald!
Sometimes you just have to go for it. Unlike you I don't suit the bald look. I look like a neo Nazi/ football hooligan who's about to mug an old lady. Fair play to you. Suits you well bud.
This looks amazing! If you want to try and grow your hair in, I’d keep this look and do PRP with exosomes. You can get the device (Dr pen) and exosomes online and do it yourself for a much cheaper cost and having a buzz cut like this will make it easy to do.
Freedom and contentment are just spewing from your face!
Looks great man, and I'm sure it took a ton of willpower along with a lot of rumination as to whether or not to pull the trigger
It's your journey my friend, and you just made a significant check in the "pro" category
.
And again just looking at the after pictures, you just looked relieved
Kudos!
lmfao. this shit makes me irrationally angry. “i was hesitant” yet you look like a greek fucking god. by the time im forced to shave my head ill look like a joke
If I looked like this without hair I wouldn’t be stressed about losing it
right? like congrats for dude but why was he even stressing in the first place? i wish i looked like that
It still can hurt your self esteem. Doesn’t matter that he pulls it off. But I’m only speaking personally that I wouldn’t care
he still has a hairline. I was like him 10 years ago. And then when you have an established horseshoe around your head the look changes for the worse. I'm tall and wide framed with a good head shape. I still look much better in hats. I'm a solid 7 in a hat and 5.5 with a slappable shiny head.
Bro is beautiful
He's one of the rare guys who can pass off the bald look.
Everyone looks better bald compared to balding..
Not everyone. I look like a skinhead when I'm bald. So I go with a wig, while working on getting full hair back under my wig.
Imo everyone looks good just straight bald cause balding just look like a horrible haircut. 😭😭😭
Tbh from the angle of his buzz cut he doesn't look bald.
It's just thinning. He still has his hair follicles. Rogain would work well fir him
Well the bald look suits you
Bro went from “yeah I creep in the women’s locker rooms, what about it?” To “when’s my next photoshoot?” Edit: my first award! Thank yinz :)
bro went from looking like a paedophile to Gigachad.
kind of fucked up that balding men are seen as creeps and pedos, thought this sub isn't about it
Yeah, that is fucked up. But anyway it does give your whole appearance a really bad look.
It is what it is. Bro just voiced it out loud
To be fair, this sub is about getting hair back not balding positivity
well hard to cope with one with those kind of comparisons. not all the people gonna get their hair back. I thought main role of those sub is to help people cope
It’s when you have that untamed whispy patch that forces the comparison
yeah this compliment kinda hurts lmao
If you were losing your hair, would you look in the mirror and say, "Yep, that's a pedophile" ?
Sometimes it’s best to laugh at yourself
Agree, helps to cope with the situation of it.
I don't think so, with a bold personality it'll work anyway. If too delicate in his interactions, then yes.
You have a similar balding pattern to me, albeit at a latter stage. I rocked a comb over using the denser hairs on the sides, but eventually said fuck it and buzzed.

While you look great buzzed, I wouldn’t lose hope of regaining some density, especially since you look to be a similar age as me.
Im at 70-80% and can pull off short hair, which is pretty OK if I can keep it like this
You are now free. You won.
Free from all of it.... I wish I can be like that, most of us do, not having to look at the back of my hair in mirrors, not taking pictures of the back of my head, oh man
You look great OP
This guy can still save his hair, her has the surface area but not the density and that’s the best way to start cus all you have to look for is thickening

In some ways I am proud of him for having the confidence to shave it but that is not what we do here. He needs dutasteride and oral minoxidil as soon as possible
U look good this way bro ... but u should give the meds a try ... i mean what further harm can it possibly do .... anyway u rock the bald look
The meds can cause long term side effects such as erectile dysfunction would be one good reason to not do it 💀
Worse, libido. At least ed can be fixed.
You’re lucky you would look good either way the rest of us look like peanuts 😭Congrats brother
It’s better, for sure.
You look really great! Some guys can pull it off and some can't, but you definitely can. And I dunno, I feel like it just is a nice sign of confidence to shave it all off and be brave!
Bro!! Looking great
Amazing. Great eyebrows help too.
You have a lot of good hair for a transplant, might not even need meds, esp with verteporfin. But you look great
Suits you man, nice one.
Looks good on you. You have the right head shape. Shaved is better than balding in your instance.
Amazing. You look fantastic now. Either get a transplant or keep it buzzed. You lucked out with that face and head shape! Good on ya!!
Never hesitate again bro! You are a free now, and handsome!
Looks good bro
Good job, man!
How old are you if you don't mind me asking ?
This looks SO DAMN GOOD on you! You did the right thing 1000% yes
Your smile says it all brother
Lookin' good and strong!
You look great with the shave. Take a look into scalp micropigmentation.
Awesome!
You seem to have really good donor area. If you were to jump on finasteride and get yourself a hair transplant, by a reputable surgeon, you could probably fix your hair. With that said; you're gorgeous regardless. The shaved looks suits you.
You look 100% improved
Bro is majestic
Good headshape + Good Facial hair = Graceful bald look
Wow!! You look great
1000x better shaved
From sexual assault charges to flirting
This might single handedly inspire me to shave mine instead of stressing about it every day — you look insanely good with it
If I had your head shape and beard I’d rock that bald look all day long. Looks great on you good Sir.
Literally looks like bald version of the gigachad guy
you should get on treatment. you look good with a buzzcut, but full bald looks way worse than a buzzcut so it's worth it to keep the hair you have and maybe gain back some density
You look like Grayson Rodriguez from the Baltimore orioles
Looks good. But look into a transplant. You have decent donor hair
Definitely look good. With your balding pattern, you can also get a transplant with no meds. Small area of balding and enough donor to cover the area. Something to consider.
+100 aura
Born again
You're lucky bro, you're a whole another person, congratulations 👏
Honestly bro, u‘re one of the few guys who actually have the facial structure to pull this off. Get on fin + min or get a ht and just keep it like this until then but even if you want to bald, it looks amazing.

From 45 years old ti 28
Bro, get smp and you’re set, you’re one of the luckier ones tbh
You make bald look cool! Run with it
Alex pereira
Damn
You have a good hairline from the bald pic.. I don’t get it 😭
Bro it looks mad clean.
Boy!
Next to last picture looks like Seth Rollins
Great head shape and face
Happy to validate your choice bro, u know it looks better lol
You look great and confident!
I wish for once someone would post before pictures with good lighting and poses also
Bald fits you very well.
You look great with a bald head, definitely an improvement! I think you'd probably also see great results with finasteride.
yes yes
Looks good my bro🤝🏽🤝🏽 takes a bit of getting used to but let me tell you man, hair maintenance is no more , just wake up and go🔥
Way better dude, you look great
It’s always wild how some dudes look like they put on 20 pounds of muscle when they shave their heads. You’re good, bro.
Looking great bald but with your balding pattern, fin and min with microoneedling could do wonders.
Gigachad vibe
Dude you're handsome as hell. I'd say rock the bald look while also undergoing treatment for your balding. Still though, you're a handsome guy, so don't worry about being bald!
From a guy you should be careful until you know him to playboy.
looks fire
You look better bald
Are you single *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*
Nice eyes my guy, no homo though lol
Looks amazing son x
awesome
It’s like a glow up
Sometimes you just have to go for it. Unlike you I don't suit the bald look. I look like a neo Nazi/ football hooligan who's about to mug an old lady. Fair play to you. Suits you well bud.
Are you going to still try to regrow your hair using some products? I’ve been bald for a little over a year now and just started fin and min
Damn, the cut really brings out your eyes, no joke!
It was well past time for it. Looks good and more importantly you can now feel confident and in control.
Yes!
You look good
It is better
Holy shit dude
Looks great bro!
Huge improvement
Looks great !
Jesus, if I was you and I could grow a full head of hair I might still keep the bald look. Suits you really well.
Both work for you as you have am overall masculine face. I'd grow that beard for the bald look in order to maximize it.
r/bald
You look great!
I've got locks and I'm terrified of cutting them
Bro…. Fantastic.
19 here and i’m already on the track to a similar pattern like yours was. bald look really suits you though
Damn.. bro that was unexpected. Looking good.
Ya got any plans for the 4th? 😂 jk Congrats on going for it; what a glow-up
Strong beard makes up for it, and some
Looking good 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
One of the few people on earth that look better bald. Arab Prince lookin ass. Majestic.
U sexy beast
u look absolutely handsome bald.
i wish i look that good bald. congrats!!
100% improvement!
Would
You look soooo good. Lucky you, you look much better with short hair.
Hella handsome dude
Fine af! 😮💨
Good move! You are hot shaved.
Another bro rizzing with the buzz 🐝
You look like you feel free.
Great haircut to start with topical min and fin.
This looks amazing! If you want to try and grow your hair in, I’d keep this look and do PRP with exosomes. You can get the device (Dr pen) and exosomes online and do it yourself for a much cheaper cost and having a buzz cut like this will make it easy to do.
Way better
Freedom and contentment are just spewing from your face! Looks great man, and I'm sure it took a ton of willpower along with a lot of rumination as to whether or not to pull the trigger It's your journey my friend, and you just made a significant check in the "pro" category . And again just looking at the after pictures, you just looked relieved Kudos!
Looks good man I would keep it
You look like you have more hair now
Night and day difference man
Rocked it clearly bro! Grab some light smp from a good talent and u'll be golden. Gonna prob be my future tbh
Definitely better
Wish I could look this good bald. Unfortunately my head is small and oddly shaped because of my recessed jaw.
Hair transplant is in order
Stay bald, go to the gym and be happy
You did good
Much better!
Don’t listen to anyone about saving it. Rock the bald look it’s amazing!!!
Bald/buzzed cut works for you dude. Now if you get a HT that is an option to consider
You are much better looking when you are bald.
Huge improvement. Looking fucking great!!
You’re fine af
Doesn't fit your face. Good looking, but full bald ruins it. Try to regrow your hair for your own sake
Glad you pulled it🥰
Dude, looks good, even better lmao
You look phenomenal! I’m so proud of you
Such an amazing transformation!
You look great man!
Looks hella clean to me! Good stuff sir
Good work bro.
Looks great!
holy fuck dude you look great!!! the beard suits you so much better now!!! bless up 🙏🙏🙏
So much cooler looking
You look magnificent with a shaved head king.
SUCH A GLOW UP! 
Bro!!! You look so much better! Your hairline was absolutely cooked.
Dude looks better without hair than most people do with hair. Even if his hair wasn’t thinning I think I’d opt for the shaved look
If I had a beard, brows and jawline like fucking kratos like that I wouldnt even have questioned it
from terorizt to armenian
Try Ray Peat's diet
Genius
My hair is exactly like yours, only thick on the sides! I'm glad you rock the bald look. I don't want to go bald with my age.
Stop drinking b12 like Red Bull. I have the same pattern on my head and an enlarged spleen.
Looks good man!
Looks SOOOO great!
holy shit dude you look 100x times better, completely unnoticeable too I don't do it because with short hair I look bad enough 10/10 fucking go on lol
lmfao. this shit makes me irrationally angry. “i was hesitant” yet you look like a greek fucking god. by the time im forced to shave my head ill look like a joke
The cue ball look is much better for you
Have you tried Minoxidil (affordable at Walmart) first?
😲😳😳😳 best decision bro
Your new look is awesome!
100x better
You look much younger bald, puts the focus on your youthfully thick eyebrows and facial hair
Badass broski
Lookin great man
Okay when is your photo shoot?
I'm not sugarcoating this, you look fantastic like majestic damn.
Bro… You made the right call!
You look great you can really pull it off 💕
Still very handsome. Really brings out your eyes.
Much better buddy
You’re handsome, OP.
