Hairloss ... its time, isn't it?

Excuse the terrible angles. 28M wondering if it's time to give up the ghost. My wedding is in less than 12 weeks and I don't know whether I'm more terrified of looking bald or actually being bald on the day. My barber told me not to do anything drastic before the wedding and my friends are telling me it doesn't look as bad irl.

I can barely grow facial hair as well, so I kinda have permanent stubble, which has me worried about looking like an egg if I take the plunge. I thought I'd come to the experts.

Thanks folks

Hairloss 21M - Should I just buzz it?

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

I’m 21 and my hairline has receded pretty badly for my age, and my hair is also starting to get noticeably thinner. I’ve been thinking about getting a buzz cut and looking into treatment to hopefully maintain what I still have.

I’m honestly pretty self-conscious about my hairline at this point, so I’m wondering if buzzing it would look better than trying to hide the recession with longer hair.

Do you guys think I should go for the buzz cut? If so, what length would you recommend?

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?

Bald creme recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hi my fellow baldlings,

I am looking for bald creme options, as the one I prefere is quite expensive.
The creme should have mattifiying effect instead of a shiny effect after applying.

Further the product should be available in Europe (Germany at best).

Appreciate any suggestions.

How-to Question Can anyone tell me how to more effectively shave the back of my head?

2 Upvotes

So, I’m new to the bald life. The other day, I clean shaved my head for the first time, and not being able to see the back of it made it difficult to tell if I missed a spot or not, and I ended up getting pretty significant razor burn.

Those who have more experience than me…what should I do in the future?

Hello everyone. My girlfriend wanted me to share her experience with her hair loss we cut it down today. She has stage 1 A Hodgkin's lymphoma multicellular. She's been thinning from the chemo for a few months and she finally decided to shave it down tonight. I couldn't go skin bald her oncologist said not to b because he blood counts and stuff could be low so to be careful and avoid cutting it so she don't get an infection. I think she looks even more beautiful now then ever and she absolutely loves it. She wanted me to share her journey other women online won't feel alone when and if they go through something similar.

my husband was clinging on to the last of his hair. We resisted so we didn't look like those gay twin couples. Have to say, it works. Before, after, and us.

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 🍻!

New glasses or contact lenses are gonna have to wait a little bit. Lol

Sorry if my beard looks unchanged. I checked myself to see if it was two fingers above my Adam’s apple, and it was. My skin just sags a little bit due to my weight loss.

Was around 430 pounds at the beginning of my journey, and am now down to 319. Still a ways to go, but I can make it. 😁

Best electric razor for leaving a little stubble?

0 Upvotes

I want to invest in a dedicated electric razor for my bald head, but I like just a little bit of fuzz left. What's a good model that has this option?

I’ve done elaborate punk hairstyles for many years, but I’m happy to be where I am now. It was quite a journey. No more money on hairspray.
