        Yeah, he shows it’s just a normal thing that mens’ hair does, and nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t really get the all-or-nothing attitude.

          If anything it hightlights that it’s a mostly a matter of grooming/health.

          If your hair is healthy, well-kept and clean, plenty of styles will look good. The cut itself is less important. Unwashed, matted, and deep-fried by 3-in-1 ‘soaps’? Even a basic barber cut will look frizzy and unkempt.

          Same for beards. A beard of any length looks good brushed with a coarse boar-brush, treated with beard balm, trimmed to shape. Left to grow put with no treatment, no brushing, no clipping? Any length looks haggard.

          Healthy hair, healthy skin, natural lighting and a confident yet approachable demeaner do almost all the work for us.

        True, he really owned that look. There’s a lot of folk that couldn’t or wouldn’t get away with it though. There’s trend setters, trend followers, and then there’s folk like Bill. I put Johnny Depp in that category too. That guy looks good in anything, but imagine how many guys would look terrible if they tried to mimic his style.

    The change in facial expression and environment does heavy lifting too for the magical man transformation

      Sure, but based on experience, when the scalp is just sporadically putting hair out there, it’s pretty much always better to go all-in and shave it. Trying to make the most of remaining bits of hair is a lost cause. If you have some reasonable parts of your scalp still putting out volume, then the hair can look ok as long as it doesn’t grow out too much.

    The one thing i learned by getting bald is that its not a big deal to be bald and most people view it as something mundane. Only teenagers seem to not be able to handle other peoples baldnes.

    Gotta be honest, I don’t love the notion of reposting other people’s personal photos without their knowledge. I fully understand they (presumably) uploaded them themselves at first to the public internet, but it still feels icky to me.

      Don’t be weird, all bald men are part of a collective hive mind. There’s no need to ask permission, they all act together as one. They probably released this meme themselves

      I especially don’t like it when they take other people’s photos and then imply shit like incest where they say the girl is defending the love for her brother. It’s obviously cyberbullying and spreading it ain’t cool.

      Unless you’re someone like me that can not grow a mustache doesn’t grow any sort of cheek hair for a beard. And naturally just grows a simple goatee that won’t get any longer than about an inch no matter how long you don’t shave it. And my ass is as smooth as a baby’s butt. So is my chest my arms and most of my legs. Luckily because I’m native American the likelihood of me actually becoming bald is not very high.

        If you are balding, you’re pretty likely to have increased hair growth elsewhere. At last if it’s male pattern balding, because that is caused by high testosterone.

      And nose and ears.

      The ear hair is what gets me. I was at work one time and noticed a single three-inch hair growing off the back of my ear. WTF.

      Don’t I know it.

      My hairline is receding because my hair is marching down the back of my neck towards my ass crack.

    That sub is heavily biased, some of the guys look fine with hair, like they just turned from full line into widows peak and it still looks good on them. But then they post a bald pic of themselves and the sub goes crazy.

      Not to mention the clear survivorship bias. You’ll only see the ones that look better, as the ones than don’t won’t post, or won’t get upvoted.

      You get better about it with time, but yeah, the first six months is a bit more vulnerable. Eventually though you realize no one gives a shit and life gets better. Hell, take a peek at r/bald comments and you’ll see that there are some very vocal female fans of the bald look

        I like my cute rock star hair :( I realize no one gives a shit but me but that doesn’t make it easier. I haven’t started balding and hopefully i don’t.

          Hey, I liked my hair too don’t get me wrong. Dating was a lot easier before I shaved my head but I can promise that bald beats combover every time. But the reality is that not having hair does help free you from some vanity and ego too, even if the journey to that contentment can be a bit rough.

        I have extremely thick and fast growing curly red hair. But if for some reason i lost it I would go all in with a bushy red beard and being bald.
