Should I?

I used to have long hair, like a metalhead. Now im content with this length, but if I cut it to short this bald spot will be very visible. Im at a loss at what to do next. Seeing the barber is just dreadful. Is it time?

For real! I was like nah you got so much hair… then got to the last few and I’m like nope it’s time 😂

u/Kihakiru 1d ago

At first I was like nahhh but then I saw the bald spot. YES KING DO IT!

u/The-Elefant-Man 1d ago

If you feel insecure about it, get rid of that hair and embrace the hairless look. I think it will look great

u/victorbranco77 1d ago

You know it.

u/unpredictablemuggle 1d ago

I think it's time bro. Don't be scared, a baldie will look good with the beard!

u/melli_milli 1d ago

I don't think it is that bad if adult man is showing some balding. I might go to barber and ask for a hair cut he thinks would work best. If not happy, than shave off.

But if this causes you insecurity and it makes you self aware you could just go bald.

I was going to say pretty much the same. He has a nice hairline and a little bald spot in the back isn’t a big deal unless it really bothers him. He’ll look good either way so it’s really what’s going to make him feel more confident.

u/melli_milli 1d ago

I think this is how about 40% of Finnish men look. With light hair it isn't that obvious anyhow.

Give us a try brother

u/opal-sea-44 1d ago

I think it’ll look great, especially
with your beard!

Disagree with the multitude. If it looks that good in the front take the Lower case L in the back

u/TheDailyDonger 1d ago

What so you mean with lower case in the back?

u/alrobles 1d ago

The crown has thinned out quite a lot. I would go for to and go fully shaved.

u/Wiziba Hair Headed - Woman 1d ago

I was skeptical at first but as I got further into the photos, my thoughts were oh I see how it’s thinned and then oh dear that may not be a combover but it’s absolutely a comb-back.

There’s no way you’re confident in your hair if you go out in a stiff wind or rainy weather without an emotional support hat.

u/EggFu23S10 1d ago

It’s just hair. Let it go.

u/Federal_Deer8468 1d ago

Shave it

u/Army7547 1d ago

Yeah bro. For the first bunch of photos I thought you were on the thinning path, and I was going to tell you that it’s time to get it done to stay ahead of it.

But that crown, bro. That’s a little more advanced. Those pictures are making me feel like you need to catch up and take charge of it.

Whadaya say we start your next chapter with a “I need a hero” transformation montage?

u/Anthrogynous 1d ago

I’d leave it. Who cares how it looks in the back, if you like what you see in the mirror, then it’s all good.

u/adr1m23 1d ago

Yes bro. Try it, it will grow if you dont like it

u/strawberrymud1 1d ago

The only option is a Man Bun 😇

u/bEErgrEMlin12 1d ago

You got plenty of hair and time. Keep it!

u/socksdadsandsleaze 1d ago

I'd take it off

u/Basis_Inside 1d ago

You have a nice connected beard you should totally go for it

u/scarixix 1d ago

Think you have plenty of time left.
