Hairloss It's definitely time isn't it

I had beautiful long blonde hair for a good 5 years but I finally shaved it short 6 months ago because the front was getting too thin. I still miss it every day. I tried to do the short hair thing for the last 6 months but it doesn't look good, I think it's probably just too far gone, was hoping to have decent hair at least until I turn 30 but it's looking like 24 is gonna be as far as I get. The only thing that stopped me from going bald previously was people telling me Id look too much like my abusive father but here we are. Probably gonna need to face the music huh.

The look of unhappiness on your face says everything.

Your hair will grow back if you do choose to shave it off, but I don’t think you’ll want to go back if you do.

You deserve to be happy!

Happy to be of service! You'll never go back once you spend a few days with it.

In his post, said he shaved it before - recently - and went back.

Didn't go bald just short

Ah okay, I thought you shaved it. As I said on another comment, I think a tattoo - of any size - would suit you and make the look your own👍

u/Feisty_War_1003 10h ago

I reckon a scalp tattoo would really suit you. Also I bet nobody in the family has one. 👍

u/gatorgage11 10h ago

I was planning on some head tattoos anyway so I agree with you there

It is, but you’re gonna look awesome. I can tell by your piercings that you like to have a little bit of a edgy look. You’re going to look even more edgy with a nice shaved head! Do it and be excited about it. Own it!

I’ve never seen anyone get multiple head tat recommendations

You gotta do it and post the results brother, both bald and tattoo

u/WasabiHomie23 10h ago

You’re gonna look so good bud. I made the plunge last month and yesterday I shaved it again. Once you’ve done it you’ll start looking at your face more than you look at your head.

I wouldn't ask these questions on this subreddit as it is probably the most toxic positive place on reddit

2

u/gatorgage11 5h ago

Do you disagree with the response? everybody in my life agrees that I'm gonna be bald at some point just a matter of when, may as well go into it feeling confident.

Get that shit of your face, and shave that hair homie.

u/gatorgage11 7h ago

This was a question about hair not about my personal stylistic choices, so no, the things on my face will be staying there thank you very much
