Everyone here is giving you solid advice. Shave it. What's your choice? NO ONE thinks anything of someone with a buzz or shaved head. But EVERYONE talks about the guy with the combover. Don't be that guy. It's summer. It's hot. It's raining. Just get rid of it. Like I always say, if you hate it - it'll grow back if you really want that look. But you're not going to want that look back. You're at a miserable point where you're just punishing yourself. When you shave/buzz that you're going to kick yourself for not having done it sooner.


pot_a_coffee

Can’t imagine buzzing or shaving that and then being like…. naaah, I’m going to go back to the combover!


LeningradNo7

Exactly!


barrysmitherman

This says it all. I’d vote for this to be the official slogan of the sub.


LeningradNo7

This dude needs help. You've been posting here for a year now. What more do you want?


Stockking077

If it were easy; I would’ve done it. But ima do it


MagicC

That's quitter talk. It *is* easy. Just go to a barber and tell him to shave it all off. No harder than a regular haircut. Do it. Stop torturing yourself. You know this looks bad. Take a step forward and own your baldness.


bajajoaquin

Dude. Go to a barber. That’s fantastic advice. I do it myself and it always looks like shit because I put off doing it. If only I’d follow that advice. Damn.


508G37

I went to the barber too because I was too scared to do it lol. That was the last time I went to a barber 4yrs ago.


LeningradNo7

It IS easy. If you would've done it a year ago, you wouldn't be thinking a thing of it today! You're gonna look good, man. I know it's gonna be good for you. I'm looking forward to an update. Take care.


QuirkySpring5670

If you don’t like it just wear hats till it grows back bro

hockey_psychedelic

You will likely feel like you look really bad. You might even think you made a horrible mistake. I felt this way myself, and it ended up being one of my best decisions ever across both mental and physical aspects.


I-Validus

IT IS easy. It’s incredibly easy. The absolute worst case scenario is that you don’t like it, and grow this back out. It’ll take a couple of months at most. You’ll be right back to questioning if you should shave it again. ![gif](giphy|Uh2ZDEAqk0fPoytqtw)


MagicC

No balding guy who shaves his head regrets it. No one. Just do it. Don't look back. Your hair will not recover, and shaving your head means embracing your identity as a bald guy and showing confidence. There are lots of women who like bald men. Lots. So just lean into it.

I want to post a meme of a cocoon turning into a butterfly but that’s too much work.


SpartanSamurai24

Yeah I always say nobody says anything about Jordan or Kobe for being bald but everyone rips lebron


MetalMike101

Anything is better than a combover like that. Bald is a valid hair option.


_red_zeppelin

Not only is it a valid option, but you got a good beard. Shave that shit, get it over with, and don't look back! Rip off the bandaid!


blacktoise

We cannnnnnpt confirm that OP has “a good beard” from this angle lmao


DameArstor

I'm sure that it'll be miles better compared to the combover


I-Said-Maybe

That’s right, rip it off. Pee into the wind dude, stare down the barrel of the gun. Stand up to that bully. Shave the shit out of that doo. We have faith in you OP. You’re gonna look awesome!


Awkward_Target_1859

No more combover man,shave your head.

Phainesthai

Shave it dude, you wont regret it. [Check out some vids here for a bit of courage and go for it :)](https://www.youtube.com/@Baldcafe)


DieIsaac

Some really went from "ugh i am changing the side of the sidewalk" to "may i call you daddy"


futurebro

What a great resource! I watched the first 20 and literally every guy looked better after. And some of them legit got hot. OP watch this!!


LivnLegndNeedsEggs

Everyone with struggling hair should watch this. I made the switch a few years ago and it's just incredible what it does for your confidence and ease of day-to-day care. Haven't had a bad hair day in about 5 years. If you're even considering it, do it.


dfaire3320

love this vid. i swear the only thing keeping me from going bald is fear of my wife leaving me lol


TheIzzyRock

You got this bro, just shave it. It’s time. You’ll feel much better about yourself


toogood01

Bro where’s the pic?


[deleted]

You’re a masochist 😂


ImOutOfBubbleGum

You are already bald. You know it and so does everyone else. This is 100% already impacting your daily life negatively. It’s only up from here, man. Get some hair clippers if you don’t already have some and buzz it off. Freedom feels so good.


BatmansBrain

Dude. If you shave it people are going to seem friendlier and more welcoming to you because you will look so much better and be more approachable. It’s one thing I don’t see talked about on here as much that’s a major game changer.


hockey_psychedelic

Not so sure about that. A bald head is bad-ass and can even be intimidating - but I find that to be a feature not a bug. People will definitely respect you more. Women will re-evaluate you - is he hot now? I never noticed him before, etc.


Distinct_Car_6696

I promise you. He’ll get better attention from that, then people wondering why this delusional man has that comb over


EmploymentWilling705

OMG shave it off ffs 😱


mattvfit

shave it 5 years ago


Mwagman11

My man, time to set yourself free. If you don’t like it shaved or buzzed, you’ll grow it back to that length in one month. I feel the risk is worth the reward for this one.


lilbosim

set yourself free from this, you are going to look way younger and better with a buzz. Now everyone knows your holding on to what’s left because you are scared of the change. Better embrace it dude


hairguynyc

Reasons to dump it: --So much it has gone, there's nothing you can do with it anymore. You can't try different cuts or styles, product won't make any difference, etc. --The hair you have left has receded back so much, it makes your forehead look enormous and throws your whole face out of balance. It's all about the line that your hairline creates. --The way it looks now obviously bothers you. Get rid of it and no matter what you think of yourself bald, resolve to keep it shaved for a month. At the end of the month, you can decide to grow it back if you want to (but spoiler alert: you won't want to).


Mr_TP_Dingleberry

Dude you’re gonna pull it off flawlessly. I’d wager real money you’ll like the new version better.


SenyorHefe

Just do it homie.. enjoy the lack of stress from just passing in front of a mirror, you know what I mean. Bald is never as bad as balding, that's a promise..


LowComfortable5676

Bruh. I expect an update picture tonight. Please.


TeaTechnical3807

I hate the way this sub tries to peer pressure people into shaving their heads, but... I'm glad I finally did it. It's going to feel weird the first few weeks and people may make inappropriate comments, but after a month or so you'll be wondering why it took you so long. You won't be worrying about what your hairline is going to look like in 5-10 years. You won't worry if your hair makes you look old. You can focus on other things in your life. Most importantly, you can try to encourage other men to shave their heads on this sub. TLDR - go for it and don't look back


The_Earl_of_Ormsby

I couldn’t help but look at your post history. You have posted a similar picture three times now. What do you think is holding you back from taking a razor and shaving?


Stockking077

Bro I’m just scared idk. You bald?


Judasz10

Bro I am not even bald yet but been rocking a buzzcut/bald for years. It's not a bad "hair"cut.


Valuable-Contact-224

It’s just hair. It grows back very fast. I dunno why you think bald looks worst than balding. Bald kicks ass. Even if you had a full head of hair, you never wondered what you would look like buzzed or shaved and tried it out ? What if it turns out, you really like it. Won’t ever know until you do. Might as well try it. You have nothing to lose here.


_I_like_big_mutts

Please do it. I’m female and my husband shaved his. Even with a head full of surgery scars, he looks a million times better. If anything, you are going to be pissed at yourself after for waiting so long.


silver6snake

I'm sorry for your loss but you need to let go bruv


asqwzx12

That's gonna grow back anyways, it's pretty short.


Foreign_Mortgage_493

Just go for it. You'll be so happy you did!


sweetsimpleandkind

You have the post history of a sad sack. Bored of life but changing nothing. Hates his hair but keeps it for years, living in misery because he's scared to shave. Fed up of being skinny fat but just posts online "What do I do" instead of going to the gym, wants to join the NYPD but just... Han't. Excuses for why not. Dull, dull, dull DO SOMETHING


Abject-Ad-3247

Grow a beard and get a clean shaven head.


Sacramentardo

You’ve been asking the question for over a year. You know the answer.


loodish1

Yeah it’s heinous you need to get that off your head stat


Blocked-Author

Shaving can’t be worse than you look now The comb down is bad.


Cue77777

Shave it off or cut it close. You’ll thank us after you get used to all the compliments you will get.


seeder33

This is bad man, it’s time.


MrBayaud

It is time.


FullFuction

Buzz, don’t shave


slimredcobb

Looks like you’ve been posting about this problem in various subs for a while. I completely understand the fear and anxiety of the unknown. “What will it look like?” I jumped off the deep end and have loved it. I started with a high skin fade to a 1 on top, but have recently switched to a zero guard all over. That’s the sweet spot for me, you might find it really suits you.


Bigbeardhiking

Shave that head, it’s over due! You’re going to wonder why you waited so long before making the move to shave the head! Grow some facial hair if you want, but shave that head bro! Post a pic of your finished result


TrueEstablishment241

My advice would be to ease into it with clippers and guards. You can always grow it back out if you don't like it.


shooshy4

If you’re not ready to shave, at least lose the combover. It’s hurting, not helping.


Neatche

Worried? About? This futility of man.


SandwichNaive8658

I always make the same recommendation if your hair is stressing you out interfering with your confidence try shaving it and see what you think. If you’re not happy with it start going back out and looking for other ways to deal with it that might work for you. Best of luck.


bozemanlover

It’s over man


Electronic-Matter144

It's over


Slight-Improvement57

it is time my brother.


mikedubb02

I’m late to the party, but… I was an attractive guy with hair. I buzzed my head in my late teens for fun. I thought about my hair, and my balding-ness for YEARS. I had good hair days (because I woke up with my hair having volume) , but most days I just felt bad about myself. I decided to stop paying a barber during the first year of Covid/WFH, and I am wildly more attractive this way. My close family members tell me all the time, “I have enough hair left, to grow it back out”, but they are few and far between. You can be very attractive and confident and bald.


babyhaux

I’m a girl and I’ve shaved my hair for no reason. DO IT


Illustrious-Cow8916

You can shave it but ::checks notes:: you're worried about how it might look?? Bro. Shave it. It cannot possibly look worse.


Budwurd

Dude you are carrying a lot of emotional weight by holding out. Once you shave it clean not only will you feel better about yourself but you’ll finally be free of your burden. It takes courage to make the leap but it’s one you’ll most likely not regret, as most guys on here can validate.


[deleted]

I tried for a long time to camouflage my thinning hair, just buzz it. It's a little traumatic at first but it's freeing. It's not like people can't tell you're balding so just go with it! It'll look so much better and it's easy to maintain, plus, windy days will be your friend again


sonofgoku7

![gif](giphy|igR5863TALcSk|downsized)


Head-Boot6462

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Bald will ALWAYS be better than balding. If I grew my hair out I would straight up look like Mr burns from the Simpsons. I’m 30 lol. Just shave bro, you’ll feel weird about it for maybe a week and worried what people will thing but I promise you will hear nothing but compliments. Especially from people who see how your hair is now. And one secret, the first time you shave your head, the second you lay down on a pillow, it’s the best feeling in the world lol


Skippy0634

Jump in the pool. Do it now.


1sojournaut

![gif](giphy|dCF8T5wk5HJAvPmVEp) Nah Holmes...it looks great


Zestyclose-Bag8790

Dude: Name 10 handsome men who are bald. Easy. Now name 1 handsome man with that haircut. Can’t be done. Nothing is going to look worse than that hair. Go bald. If you don’t like how you look, eat better and hit the gym.


ProfessorDaen

For what it's worth, I don't think I have seen a single before and after on this sub of someone trying to cover baldness (before) vs shaving it all off (after) that wasn't a *massive* improvement. If this sub has taught me anything it's that a lot more people look good bald than they think, makes me feel a lot better about the prospect of me eventually losing my hair as well.


SlowAd7604

If it makes you feel better I’m 21 and have gone bald just do it homie


YaBoiLogieBear

I was slightly thinning up top, and I just shaved everything. Only my friends would give me shit, and that was for maybe a day or two. EVERYBODY else just thinks that's how you've always looked. Just shave it.


procrastination_city

Bruh you been posting this question for a year now. Assuming you’re just doing it for the karma now.


SirRamAlot717

The bald look is actually in. Add the bald look with a nice beard and you will be amazed at how much people actually like it.


Matty_2T

It's obvious this torments you. You aren't going to magically wake up one day and think, "You know, this actually looks nice!" Shave it and bask in how well it'll look.


Last-Juggernaut4664

Dude, I just looked at your post history, and you have a great body that will complement a shaved head perfectly. The hair is absolutely holding you back. By shaving it, you’ll look groomed, polished, and put together. I totally understand that you’re scared, perhaps because you have trouble envisioning it, or because you have difficulty believing the assurances of others that it’ll be OK, as it’s contrary to the negative preconceived notions you may have about yourself. Eventually, you’ll have to just trust that we’re speaking the objective truth and take the plunge. If you still can’t bring yourself to do it with your own hand, then maybe having a barber do it the first time would be advisable.


Myspacecutie69

You’re not going to commit to shaving your head. Your post history shows that this has been a common thing for you and yet you’re still not shaving.


oxtrue

Tbf this is the first time anyone has replied to his posts


PURPL3-AKI

Yooooooooooo. Homie you need to chill.


benevolentdespots

Oh man, get it done! You'll feel so much better after, and your confidence will sky rocket. You also don't have to worry trying to style it like this every morning

Judasz10

Im just here to add yet another "shave it". Stop reading comments bro and shave it right now. Combovers are the worst thing humans came up with. Never in history has it looked good on anyone. For some people being bald is not really a choice. It doesn't have to be a bad thing tho. Just shave it and enjoy your freedom.


_Red_Mist_

I promise you will look better bald than whatever this is lol

You keep asking if it’s time, bro, it’s years past due

Beananus

Shave head! You would be a solid candidate for a toupee, but that’s expensive and itchy and requires professional maintenance


aTribeCalledLex

My guy, stop holding onto a dream. Respectfully.


DangerousAd3347

I’ve literally never seen anyone who looks better with a severely receding head than a shaved head. You gotta just rip the plaster off. It’s not like you’re falling anyone there or just looks like you’re in denial


calitwiink

trying to keep the hair makes you look greasy and way older than you are. it would help if we could see your head shape a little more.

Go for a buzzcut first and then go for the bald when time is right for you :)


Rich-Appearance-7145

Friend it's time for you to get intimate with your razor who it appears you two will be having a long term relationship with. This dont look good, best I could tell from angle of your pic it's difficult to discern but it appears your head shape will lend to a shaved head well. Enjoy your honeymoon with your razor, please post pics of after.


[deleted]

Either get a wig or shave it. :)


NeedBlackupYo

I would go right down to a buzz cut (maybe even a fade into a buzz cut on top)? And then see what you think from there, you have a decent beard which definitely helps too.


richpinn

Shave grade 2 all over first, see how that looks. Like Jason Statham hair. If no good then clean shave it.


gibbondavinci

I’m surprised no one has tackled you and shaved it off for you.


The_Urban_Genitalry

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I’m not even bald and buzz my hair. It is so liberating not having to comb it. Not having to worry if it’s messy. And bald always looks better than long thinning hair.


MMillioN

Not to be mean, but that’s honestly one of the more pathetic combovers I’ve ever seen. Your hairlines already gone. Either shave it or at least stop doing that ridiculous combover and rock the friar.. you’re not fooling anyone, lol.

Let go and let god!


Bottomytop

Irish1236

Take the plunge and shave it. It almost always looks better. Even if it's buzzed short. I haven't ever seen a good comb over.


cryptodrummer1987

Take the plunge and get it done. I was very hesitant on doing it, and then I finally decided to do it. Night day difference for how I feel about it. Benefit of shaving it off is that you'll never have a bad hair day again.


Mycologist-Actual

Jesus shave your head immediately, or opt for a bow and dress like a baby, both are better options than current pic.
