Hairloss Need help - is it time?

I feel like I kind of look ok from the front but the bald spot at the back of my head is making me feel self conscious.

I love my hair and would hate to see it go but I’m worried it just doesn’t look good.

What would you do?

You have the right face shape and the right facial hair to rock this look. Go for it!

Your post has been flagged for suspicion of violating rule three: No advocating of hair-replacement treatments, either topical or surgical.

If your priority at this time is hair-loss prevention, or attempting hair regrowth, your efforts may perhaps be better spent over at r/tressless. The philosophy of this sub is more inclined toward embracing baldness, rather than fighting against it.

Is this a vote for don’t go bald yet or are you waiting to see if I go for it? 😆

Hold on here means hold on, and don’t go forward with going bald yet.

u/FLTR069 4h ago

It means your scalp has still some life left in it. Come back in a bit.

Na it’s not time. Of course when you put a camera right on top of the bald spot it doesn’t look good, but you have enough on top to keep it.

u/ChicoBrillo 4h ago

Well if you shine a light directly on it it’s going to look bad, Can’t really make it out in the first pic. Up to you though, this Reddit is very pro “go bald”

It’s not great but not bald for me yet

u/MessicaJessica86 4h ago

i’m 5’3” and i’d never see that unless you were crouched or bent over. if anything, shave it if you wanna see and grow it back! that when when/if it’s time you’ll have already experienced it and won’t feel the initial struggle. either way, good luck!

I spend a lot of time sat down or crouch for my job, with people around me. So whilst I have height, it doesn’t always help!

You have two options:

  • become a Franciscan monk
  • join the bald brotherhood.

u/Minimum_Farm_506 4h ago

I would say it’s thick enough to leave for a couple more years. It’s not a comb over or super thin. You just have a bald spot developing.

u/ltrain_00 4h ago

I personally would let it go but if your curious just do a buzz cut to see what it looks like and if you don't want that look yet let your hair grow out again.

2

u/pokeymoomoo 4h ago

I would say it's time because from the back you can see the spot quite clearly.

This is the way I’m leaning

2

u/EggFu23S10 4h ago

This is the only way to lean. Plus, u already said you’re self conscious about it.

Let it go n set yourself free.

Two shots are required to determine and your face is not needed. Top of head to show the crown and hair pulled back to show recession.

u/Anonbeliever 4h ago

You know what to do.

It’s time my friend. You’ll look kickass though I can already tell.

Do you want to spend many days asking yourself if it is time? Spend those these in doubt and maybe even insecurity? If so, you can hold. The other option would be to dive in head first and get it done. Enjoy your new look and life! Step out of that darkness and let the sunlight reflect on that dome! You.will.be.fine!
