5 Steps to Balding Gracefully

I’ve been losing my hair for about 5 years. During this time it’s had an incredibly negative impact on my self esteem. I viewed having a thick head of hair as beautiful, honest and powerful, while being bald is often portrayed as a visual and moral ugliness.
Prior to a few months ago, I could count on one hand the number of people that I shared these feelings of “ugliness” with. I buried them, and did what I could do to prevent people from noticing my thinning hair.
Recently I said “FRICK THAT”, and decided to start being open and honest about how hard it’s been to watch my hair slowly disappear. At first this was challenging because I’m not used to being this vulnerable.
But, after two months of owning the buzzed head look, and having open conversations about why balding has been super shitty for me, these feelings of “ugliness” have mostly evaporated.
Losing your hair sucks. But talking about it makes it easier.

I’m remember when I was at the gym working out and I saw almost everyone around me with their new haircuts. I remember this girl giving complements to her boyfriend about he’s new haircut. I just walk out of the gym, and went straight to my car. It was really depressing at the moment for me, because it seems that I’m the only one balding 😔 I did wanna cry but at the same time feel really angry about myself. I didn’t talk for a month with anyone, including my family because no one will understand me. Since that incident, today I shaved my head and embrace it. I don’t feel bad about myself no more, believe me guys it was a big relief for me. Stay strong my balding friends because small things can’t stop us from living a happy life.

dunnotck1 well, so far I’m doing fine. But there’s moments when I picture myself having hair and that’s what keeps me mentally distracted. Hopefully there’s something in the future to cure/prevent hair loss permanently, so other generations would not go through such discomfort about themselves.

People would say I still have lots of hair left that will lay a good couple of years but tbh I just want to go bald now. I didn’t have a long “depression” phase I was self conscious for a few months but I kept watching these types of videos and it really helped boost my confidence. Now I don’t give a shit anymore about what people think of my hair. I’m turning 19 next week and I’ve decided to completely shave it off.

3 years of balding almost destroyed my self-esteem. I thought that nobody will love me again, nobody will hire me. I broke up with my girlfriends because of that and stopped to hang out with several friends. I spent a lot of money on hair loss remedy. I wasn't bald yet, but I started to live in the future and stopped living in the present. Then I realized all of this. It's so funny, because they are just hair and they never really helped me with anything. I feel good now, it doesn't bother me anymore.

Scary relatable! After finally leaning into balding, I like looking on the bright side: drying your hair after it gets wet is a breeze, you never have to worry about having disheveled hair in wind, after talking off a hat, or getting out of bed and the feeling of air between your head and upper ear lobe is great. Keep up the awesome content!

I'm in a phase of problem solving and also noticing everybody's hairlines and being envious about it. It was really depressing since I needed my hair for a stage play and I am the only best suit in terms of overall character except for my hair. We needed to shoot some promotional materials but, my hair just can't cooperate. I can see everyone's having hard time with styling my hair. It was too depressing, then I have to smile and things like that ugh ._. I'm 19 yrs old rn. Ok this was long but yeah had to let it out. Confidence is slowly drained out of my body. Edit: I'm a male.

Y’all have it so fucking easy lmao, I started balding when I was 12 and it essentially ruined my life in the way that it changed me entirely as a person. I was such a happy kid in middle school and then I got looked at as a weirdo and a crackhead because my hairline was receeded af in 6th grade. 7th grade I was probably getting made fun of my looks and hair for the whole year and I never once had a girlfriend once I started losing my hair.’ I covered it up with a crop cut and I’m 15 now but I always stress about if people will see my hairline and bad haircuts destroy my self esteem 😂 anybody saying this isn’t a serious issue is stupid this has literally fucked up my self esteem I’m 15 bro my hair is on my mind everyday I just don’t wanna go bald and on top of that school sucks like smh

losing my hair was like something that I never thought would really affect me like that ! I even started looking at my scalp automatically when I look into any mirror, but I guess, that when you realize that there's no way around that, that being bald shouldn't be considered bad but it should just be considered " different " ! I think that's the point when you have to understand that shaving your hair is a much easier solution than trying to have it growing again. still, I have to say sometimes I really feel that I would have looked a thousand times better with hair and who knows, maybe it would lead me to have things that I can't have without hair, but I understanding that there are a lot of people out there whose hair loss didn't affect them or make them lose their confidence and lead them to more accomplishments in life, just as it is said in the video, losing your hair doesn't make you a different person, unless you let it ! Great video by the way

I learned something about balding that I found very empowering (even as a female with no hair loss), and want to share it with you: Loosing your hair and going bald is out of your control, you can't do anything about it so it makes you feel powerless. However, deciding to shave your head gives you the power in the situation, because now YOU are choosing to go hairless. I learned this from reading the book "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Although I didn't like the book, this was the one good thing I took from it. I actually rented the audiobook from EPL (public library), which is what I'd recommend you do if you want to hear Neil Strauss explain this topic of balding better than my paraphrasing.

Ugh started losing my hair shortly after I graduated high school when I was 19 didn't think much of it til I was around 21 when i had to start getting comb overs and they worked pretty good. How Im going on 23 and this haircut I'm getting might be my last one before I have to make the hard decision to shave it all off. Balding hits harder for me since for most of my childhood I had long hair. A curly black afro with that gave off a brownish tint when hit by sunlight. From my childhood to my teen years girls used to love my hair and some would touch it, play with it and even had some that would want to braid it. I wore a buzzcut from my freshman year of high school til the middle of Junior year at my mom's suggestion which looking back I regret doing that since some of my friends would smack the back of head. Around the middle of my junior year I started growing it out again til I cut it to mid length for my senior prom. Couple months after my graduation that's when I noticed some thinning but didn't think much of it til some of my friends and family started noticing my reversing hairline when I was around 20 Now I'm almost 23 its getting to be noticable and even some of my friends jokingly call me things like Einstein, Beethoven since I haven't cut it in months and yeah I play it off and laugh with them but deep down it's just another blow to my confidence. Most of my friends still have full heads of hair with the exception of one who's also balding early but it doesn't bother him since he doesn't have the same pride in his hair that I had for mine since my hair was a big part of my identity and image growing up.
