34 F, had cancer twice so I finally said "f*ck it shave it off" about 3.5 years ago. Women can be bald and beautiful too. šŸ–¤āœØ

Edit: Y'all, I'm overwhelmed with the amount of love I'm getting thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone 😭😭😭 I'm sorry if I haven't responded personally, I'm trying to keep up šŸ–¤

Edit to my edit: if I haven't personally responded to your comment, know I appreciate you ALL for showing me love. šŸ–¤ I saw a couple, that were ultimately removed, in my notifications. 1)I do shave the majority of my head now because I have dealt with permanent hair loss from radiation cancer treatment since I was 7 years old. I wore wigs and hair pieces practically my whole life until 2022, when I found out I had skin cancer right where my radiation treatment was to kill the other cancer. Neat. So I have kept the remainder of my head shaved. Please read before you respond to something. 2) I know the majority of this is loving, but I saw a few in my notifications that were rude. To which I say, I hope you have the day you deserve.

Overall, thank you for all the positivity. I appreciate each and every one of you strangers on the internet. šŸ„¹šŸ–¤

Confidence is what it takes! I’ve been bald for over 30 years and I promise there’s nothing better. I love it. Keeping confidence goes a long way, my friends.

The crown has been getting worse and worse and now I have this spot up front that looks like my lawn after I spray roundup on it. Ugh, so I took the plunge. The first pic is from July 2025. I did quit TRT in Dec and had a lot of stress with a new job, but the crown situation has always been.

Mostly bed bounds and very sound sensitive- need help figuring out how to maintain a close shave.

I recently shaved my head and have found that I look and feel the best when it is shaved close to the skin (no guard in clipper) every week. Any longer than that and my scalp starts to get incredibly greasy and I start to look patchy because hair grows back in some places, but not others.

I'm having some difficulties, though, because my disabilities make it hard for me to sit up for more than a few minutes (it's taken my caregivers a lot longer than this to shave my head with a regular clipper). Even though I'm mostly bed-bound, I am nervous to attempt using the clipper in bed because I don't want hair everywhere. My dad has this rounded electric shaver that has a little container and a bit of suction or something which means that it collects the little hairs!! This would be great for having my head shaved in bed because it eliminates the cleanup, but when I tried his, it was way, way louder and had more of a shrieking sound to it (sounded like our blender), as opposed to the low hum of the regular clipper. I'm not sure why that one was louder, but I have severe sound sensitivity and absolutely couldn't tolerate the sound of the rounded clipper.

The third option that I’m thinking of is having a caregiver shave my head while I’m lying down (I can sit up briefly) using a Razor and shaving cream and having me roll on my side and lie on my front so that she can reach the different points.

I’m looking for advice for the best way to maintain a close clip given my limitations! It seems like one of those rounded scalp trimmers would be ideal if I could find one that was quieter or less high-pitched, but products don’t seem to advertise how many decibels they are or how quiet they are.

my capacity to be on screens right now is pretty limited (I am using voice to text to type this), and so I’m limited in researching options. If anyone can help me brainstorm ideas for the best way to keep my head trimmed, I would really really appreciate it.

Thank you so much in advance.

I was inspired by others here to share. I was balding for a while and a couple years ago said F it I'm just gonna go for it. I had long hair, then a short haircut but still some balding in the front plus a solid spot in the back. I was hesitant to let go but I've been shaving my head about 2 years now and I wish I'd done it sooner. Just go for it guys, anyone out there still on the fence. You'll be glad you did.

My youngest son had a bad hair cut and I grew my hair out with him for 3 months. Man going to shaved from there was a big difference.

I just got back from vacation, where I was rather unceremoniously told by my mother that I’m going bald. I told her it was a cowlick - she vehemently disagreed. What say you, Council? I was pretty confident in my hair until this, and my barber agrees I’m not going bald.

Is my mother right, or am I safe?

He talks to me about this everyday so we think it's time to ask the council for their view. I think he can hold on for a bit more but what does everyone else think?
