I let my receding hairline go on for 5 years too long. I finally went bald at 35.

If your beard is crisp, not going to say you won't miss the hairline, because I am damn sure do...but people don't really give you shyt about being bald.

First time was in my 20s, did it for the style at the time

Then in my 40s, noticed the thinning on top. If i keep it low, you wouldn't know.

I fully cut it the same weekend the last GOW came out

That next Monday, some of my coworkers though I wanted to be Kratos :stopitslime:

I haven't had a baldie since I was 12 , and that was only because Onyx was the biggest thing in Queens at the time.

Rocked a Ceasar from then till the pandemic hit and finally grew my hair out and it looks like this now

This isn’t the issue

the problem is that no matter what you are going to look older with a bald head
I disagree. I’ve seen plenty of 60-70 year old bald, black men that don’t look their age cuz they don’t have the grey hair. Especially if they dye their facial hair

This is false, a low cut of a bald head will make you look a lot younger than a weak hairline or a thinning top. Mine started to thin on the front/temples. Did a nice guard and started getting all sorts of comments about how young I look and people not believing I’m in my mid 30’s. However you do have to maintain and hit it once a week or it goes right back to looking janky as soon as the hair goes past long stubble, it only takes about 3 minutes though.
:wtf: What are you using that it only takes 3 min? I shave mine in the shower and it takes a minimum of 15 min.

Not to scare the younger brehs, but I had a full, dense head of hair right up into 34-35.

I was 100 sure I wasn’t gonna miss hair loss, and then I noticed a little spot on my crown, then a little on hairline….

Once it starts, it’s a ride I tell yeah. I haven’t given up on it yet though, but I’ll probably have to make a decision in the next 5 if this keeps up.
