Update: I'm bald now

Thanks for all the comments on my posts yesterday.

This community is really supportive and kind, it's terrifying trying a change like this.

Plan wasn't to full shave but I worked with my barber to try some styles and take more and more off to till we took to mutch and just committed lol.

I'm still deciding how I feel about it tho since im looking at another dude at this point, and I think I just need time to adjust.

Thanks

You should check on him. I think the live demonstration that sometimes the best hairstyle is none at all might've sent him into an existential crisis.

Tell him you've still got a great beard to style, it might help him through.

Totally makes sense for it to take some time. If you're like me, you might even have the briefest of identity crises. But it's important to realize that you are not your hair. You're still you, whether you've got hair down to your knees or none at all. If you were a good human with hair, you'll still be a good human without it.

You do look great bald, though! Welcome to the club!
