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.

Just think of yourself as Rob Halford for the time being.

You could always try having some fun with wigs. Lots of options there, from realistic to completely outlandish. You could even try cutting & styling one if you wanted it to look similar.

Older guy here, went bald in my 20s. Let me say this: while going bald or becoming bald sucks ass, being bald is fine. I had lots of thick hair, and when it started going away and I didn’t look like me in the mirror anymore. I figured women would find me less attractive.

What I learned is that it takes a while for your self image to catch up to your reflection in the mirror. One of the shitty things for most people about going bald is that it happens over a long time, and when you’re used to one level of baldness, it gets worse. But eventually it levels out.

There are women who aren’t attracted to bald guys (and that’s fine, attraction is subjective), but it turns out there are women who are especially attracted to bald guys, and that the vast majority of women don’t care. Doing things like having a comb-over or wearing a toupee are often a turnoff, but I think it’s as much because of the associated lack of confidence than the look itself.

I can sincerely say that I wouldn’t want my hair back today. The look suits me and it’s easier to deal with.

The only bit that really sucks about being bald is if you don’t wear a hat you get skin cancer.

Don’t try to half cope, everyone will smell the desperation. Gotta embrace it and stay all the way bald. Other men seem to notice and care more about it than women honestly.

figure out how far up before you stop washing your face

Depends on how good you look bald I guess. Either way, good to accessorize

Hey, 40-seomthing here. Been bald since I was 19. Own. It. Go get yourself a nice hat and a mullet wig and give less fucks.

As a long time balding man, shave it all off with clippers, then go at it with a razor ever few days. Never look back. It’s a good look. I love it.

Plus my scalp looks like a chopping block with the number of times I’ve busted my head on something and I think the scars look sort of cool. 😎

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.

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.

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
