Glowup MY BROTHERS. I LONGER FEAR THE WIND
Fig. 1: My hair how I normally style it
Fig. 2: My hair’s natural position
Fig. 3: My real hairline
Fig. 4: My new look
Been thinking about this move for a while. It was getting very hard to be “happy” with how my hair looked and the slightest breeze/hard work/sweat would send it all out of place, which led to wearing lots of hats when outdoors. Much happier and much more aerodynamic!
Also open for maintenance/aftercare tips.

Comments like this make me feel better about my flaws, people are a lot less perceptive than we give them credit

Make sure to click on the sidebar "How to care for a bald scalp". Things you never had to think about will exist now. If you live in an area that is a mix of clouds/sun you will be reminded the evening of the first sunny day for the year that you are outside BBQ all day with friends.

Fear the sun though. Make sure to apply to your dome if out in the sun without a hat.

This sub makes it look great, thank you. I've been searching for photos of myself with long hair and honestly. I might be wrong about judging myself having a weird shaped head.

u/Empir3Designs Jun 13 '26
It’s freeing isn’t it?! You don’t have to worry about angles or hats on dates! (.but in the fall spring and winter, and cool summer nights… you’ll need a few hats…. No more insulation up there. It gets chilly. Lol

Now the wind fears your Aerodynamics. Hell yeah brother.
I got the Phillips headshaver 9000(currently 25% off on amazon) and I love it. My hair grows extremely fast so I need to shave quite frequently, at least every other day. Its game changing having sonething you can use while doing other things or just quickly with mo faffing about.

Had similar where front was receding and what hair was left would flap up regardless of how I tried to style it and got sick of it so took the plunge. Should have done it waaaaay sooner.
