A balding man who had long hair decided to take drastic action when he noticed his locks were starting to thin. Now people say he looks ‘a million times better’
Opting for a dramatic haircut can be a significant decision. Whether you’re seeking an entirely new look or fancy a completely different hairstyle, it all requires considerable thought.
One man, who was already experiencing hair loss, finally decided to completely transform his locks – and the result certainly garnered approval on social media. The bloke had been sporting a fairly long hairstyle with some facial hair, but clearly aware of his receding hairline, he chose to take action. Now photos reveal his hair before the dramatic cut and then him completely bald, evidently much happier with his new glowing appearance.
On the r/bald forum on Reddit, the caption stated: “Couple hours in and have heard I made the right choice.”
He added: “Well. I loved my long hair but the top was long gone. Hopefully I made the right choice.”
The man displayed the top of his head where his hair was thinning and receding. His new look resonated with fans as the post received 18,000 upvotes and over 600 comments.
One person commented: “1000% you look hot.” Another chimed in: “You look great. Blade shave to unlock the next level.”
A third remarked: “You absolutely made the right choice. You look great! Welcome to the club!” And a fourth added: “You are an entire different man.”
While others praised his transformation, someone else said he looks ‘a million times better’.
The well-known forum, which attracts 1.3million weekly visitors and 21,000 weekly contributions, seeks to encourage numerous men to embrace baldness.
In its description, it stated: “Our philosophy is simple: embrace bald and strive to make the world a more bald-friendly place.”
It added: “As we grow and mature everyone experiences the aging process a little differently, for most of us here, that includes varying degrees of hair-loss.
“It is natural. And it is nothing to be ashamed of – here we’ll support each other and learn to take pride in our baldness.”
This isn’t the first occasion a balding man has chosen to take decisive action. Previously, one man took the leap and now appears 8 years younger.
In his post, he uploaded before-and-after photographs. One displayed his receding hairline, whilst the other showed a completely shaved head.
He commented: “I did it! Before and after. Lurked on this sub for a few months. Not sure I would have taken the plunge without the positivity in the community.”
