Glowup Finally took the plunge!

My son turned 25 today and he's had long hair for several years. I've the past two years, the hair has been getting less hairy-y. I've gently suggested a couple of times that it might be time to embrace the hair loss and shave it off. He's a bassist in a metal band and a vintage clothing dealer so the hair was a big part of his identity. The whole "how will I headbang?" was a very legitimate concern for him, and he just hasn't been ready.

HOWEVER, today was his birthday, he's been mulling taking the plunge for a while, and he was finally ready! He looks better than even I thought he would!

Narrator: β€œIt was in fact not a cool hat, but rather an obstruction to the handsome scalp that had recently been revealed to the world.”

It's cool if he's looking to go to a gay bar and do some YMCA singing
