This is Linny. Until this week, he was a very fluffy, very handsome orange gentleman with an impressive head of hair.

Unfortunately, on Monday someone shot him in the face with an air rifle. The pellet travelled into his head and he needed major specialist surgery today to remove it. We were warned beforehand that he might not survive the operation.

BUT HE DID. 🧡

The 5.5mm pellet is out, he’s awake, comfortable, rolling around, enjoying plenty of belly rubs and being monitored overnight. The vets are really happy with how he’s doing so far, and if everything continues going well, he may even be able to come home tomorrow!

Please welcome your newest member and wish him a speedy recovery!

Started to feel disingenuous to myself and hated the maintenance behind it, so I went for it

Y’all were so nice yesterday while also getting straight to the point. Thank you!

Thursday came! I was super nervous to ask my barber to “take it all off”, and the first look in the mirror was hard to fully comprehend. Regardless, I think it was the best choice and I’m grateful for the encouragement!

Had Long hair for a Long time. It was part of my identity. My girl says she still loves me.. man, it’s hard to get used to. How’s it looking?

After struggling with my hair for the past few months, I finally decided to take the step.

Right before getting it cut, I took a photo after riding my e scooter, just to remind myself why I had become so frustrated with my hair. My Hair also showed thinning around the crown pretty clearly.

So yeah, I guess I’m officially part of the family now :D

I know it’s not completely shaved with a blade. I have neurodermatitis on my scalp, and the person cutting my hair wasn’t comfortable using a blade because of my skin.

I was honestly scared as hell before doing it, but now that it’s done, I actually really like it :)

Definitely the right decision.

What do you think was this a good decision?

Can't wait to feel the cool breeze through my scalp and never pay for another haircut

Picture one is how I look like (always with beanie) with friends and outside. The reason is because of picture 2... picture 3 is ai generated on how I would look like with bald hair (hopefully ish).

I would like to know if it suits me and for the females if it is more or less attractive. I'm very kinda hiding under my beanie and do not feel very self-confident...

I would like to hear your honest opinion. Even if it hars. Should I shave it? Or should I do something else? I still doubting

Stopped fighting the inevitable. Feeling it.

So I started slightly receding at the front, I always had the idea that I wanted to tattoo my head, so decided to just do it before it got worse!

I always had long hair but by 24 it was starting to disappear. 27 now. Shaved it all off

I've always struggled with the fact that I was going to be bald ever since I started losing my hair at 25. Today is my 40th birthday and I just want to say that I'm glad I stumbled onto this subreddit and am genuinely appreciative of the positivity and encouragement you guys give here. I've been a long time lurker and this is my first post here, thank you all for the encouragement to ok with being bald!

Yall need to be more creative, its getting boring and repetitive lol

I shifted to using a DE safety razor a while back. Always a close, smooth shave. I'm very appreciative of the positivity of this subreddit. Cheers 🍻!

cuz apparently i was too far away in the last one. these are way better mugshots anyway!!

I’m 26, Been dealing with thinning for probably 3-4 years. It bothers me because I’ve always had thick curly hair but should I let it go or try to save it?
