How to deal with being bald?

Until yesterday I used to have long hair. Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated.

Now that I’m bald, I now know what’s it’s like. It sucks. My old hair suited me perfectly. It was messy just the right amount, perfect length, made me look different than the rest and handsome as hell. Every girl would look at me where ever I went to. Compliments floating over the air, jealous looks from other men etc. etc. It made me feel powerful.

But most importantly, it suited my personality and clothing. It was perfect! But now it’s gone. I hate bald me. I will never look back at this bald version of myself.

It feels weird. I don’t feel that bad but still it’s disheartening.

Ah damn, thats ass. I have long thick curly hair that goes down to my mid-back and this heat is also causing a scalp condition of mine to flair up. I just can’t shave it though, don’t have the willpower. I will stay itchy thanks

You’ll get used to it soon, so distract yourself away from the hairstyle. I feel that way everytime I cut my hair

Wear a Lex Luthor suit. Or a Charlie Brown suit.

The best thing you can do is accept the inevitable. If it’s that important, get over it the same way you would an ex or the death of a loved one. In my case that means round up some friends and go get so drunk that you need to be carried home.

Shave it. I did when mine started going and the maintenance is super easy. I’d never go back.

I started that like 10 years ago, unfortunately I have a funky shaped head so it doesn’t look as good as it may on others but I do enjoy the maintenance on it. I can definitely tell these days it won’t grow back like it used to (much thinner on the top, edging back on the top sides). However being able to use a hair trimmer once a week myself is cheap, and less things to do while getting ready in the morning.

I can understand since society seems to put value on hair but not worrying about it (some confidence) goes a long way. I barely think about it nowadays.

When I started shaving i went all the way smooth…didnt jive with me. Let it grow and used clippers the next week, set to the closest and that worked great…

You could not ask me to have hair again.

Give yourself a minute…it grows back.

You don’t, so appreciate the time you’ll have hair. Because once it’s truly gone, you’ll look back on this day and cry.

Exactly, Fabio here, is complaining about his hair.

Thank you butthole spiders! 🕷️🕷️🕷️

I’d just like to say, as an actually bald person, I think it’s okay. It suits me, it’s low-maintenance, and it’s nice in hot weather.

Since you’re stuck with baldness until the skin is treated, maybe have fun with it? Get some kids’ WASHABLE markers and let your friends’ kids draw on it.

Oh, what am I saying? You already have A PERFECT ORB!

Just get yourself between 2 mirrors and contemplate it.

DO NOT CONTEMPLATE THE ORB!

If you attach so much of your personality and self-worth on your hair, this is probably for the best. Time to do some inner-reflection and figure out something a bit more meaningful to tether yourself to.

Like his/her massive balls for talking about it somewhere.

I would bet that this isn’t the last time that you get unusually hot temperatures. Between this problem possibly returning and male pattern baldness, you’ll probably face another time when you’re cutting your hair short.

That being said, adapt! Experiment with different facial hair styles, find a cool new hat (but be normal - don’t get something awful like a fedora) or sunglasses. Just because your hair has temporarily changed, it doesn’t mean that you’re a different person

There is a Seinfeld episode about this.

So it's been less than 24 hours? Ffs, give yourself time to adjust! Come back in a couple weeks and ask again.
