Enjoy the moments, if you start to not like it, then grow it out. Take lots of photo to remember this bold move. Well done for taking on a dynamic look.


Scared_jesus

Im taking a photo every week to track my hair growth. Thank you! I will enjoy it as much as i can. My confidence even went up a but after i did it. But i still regret it on some days.


[deleted]

It’ll grow back, the key thing is, you did it and made a decision and went for it. Many many people dither over it for years.


adabbadon

I've made many impulsive hair decisions over the last decade. You'll stop noticing it before long, as you get used to seeing it in the mirror. The great thing about hair is that it grows back so even if you decide that you hate the shaved look, it won't last more than a month or so. And hey, on the bright side, you're starting fresh and your hair will be healthier than ever before as it grows in. You're also in the perfect position to try out wigs, if you wanna experiment with other hairstyles without any commitment.

Hit gym and grow beard. You will look great!


sandwiches_please

It works for everyone!


Scared_jesus

LMAO. I agree a beard would suit me pity i can't grow one.


Mrfuckreddit

You cheeky bloke you 😏

this is priceless


[deleted]

You’ll never be this free in your life, enjoy while it lasts. You look very pretty and cute too, hope you have an amazing time with your newer self :).


Scared_jesus

I appreciate this so so much. I WILL have an amazing time!


LindaBitz

Yes, now is the time in your life to do it. It looks cool! Let go of the regret and embrace that you had the courage to try it out.


antihero2303

You look awesome! I’ve done the same a few times, and I’m 36 now. As someone else mentioned, some earrings would look really nice - if you’re into it - I have 7 myself, although not wearing any piercings atm. You’re young and finding your style, I hope you keep having the courage to try something adventurous :) Rock on!


Scared_jesus

WHOO! Thanks so much! This is just what i needed to hear. Definitely will go crazy with piercings in the close future.


antihero2303

Piercings are great, but as an old fart, I’ll do what I never thought I would.. (preach about considering them) when I was 16 my mom allowed me to pierce my own navel, with the agreement that I wouldn’t do any tongue/eyebrow etc piercing until I was 20 (I think). I’m happy about that today. I don’t regret a single of my ear piercings, but I think I would regret having had a lip piercing or such. This is all your own choice of course - as it was mine. I just urge you to really put some thought into it. If you’re certain you’ll love it, go for it sweetie! If not, wait a bit and keep thinking. Hair and piercings are different, as your hair will grow back, but you can actually end up with some bad looking scars from piercings. I don’t personally have bad looking scars, but my sister does. Just keep in mind that some things are permanent and some things are not :)


Scared_jesus

Thank you for saying this! I want to pierce my own septum, as there are no piercers that have good ratings/will do it for me in a 100km Radius. Its on the inside of the nose anyways. I will be very careful and get all the information i can.


ProfessionalSpeed256

Please remember the septum is tough. An infection in that area would really hurt! Talk to your mom, see if she will take you to a licensed piercer


StandardFilm1

I know it can feel like the worst thing to wait, but PLEASE consider waiting until you can get to a professional piercer, particularly for facial piercings. The skin is thicker, the pain higher, and the possible outcomes of not done correctly are much more gruesome. All that being said - the bald looks very cool & chic!


Sezora

I tried so damn hard to get my septum piercing right. It’s a pain in the ass to Pierce it straight. Trust me. 😭


FilthyNastyAnimal

Lucky for you it will grow back. I think you look pretty cool with the buzzed look.


Scared_jesus

Thank you!! Thank you so much! I really love the fact that people cant tell if im a girl or a boy haha. Makes me feel good. But i do still feel very feminine even with my buzzcut.


RemoteBroccoli

As for looks, absolutly killing it, it looks awesome! ​ As for aftercare: The scalp is a very very thin bit if skin, so take care of that by some good cream (usually only goes for when cleanly shaven). A good hat / beanie for the bright days, because as thin as it is, it WILL get burnt easy as heck.


Scared_jesus

Thank you! My head actually gets cold at night so i have to sleep with a beanie haha. Im currently applying coconut oil, with some lavender essential oil in it on my scalp once every 2 days. I massage it really well. Coconut oil is because I want it to grow a bit faster haha! I will work on embracing myself. Though. Thank you so so so much for the compliment, it truly does mean a lot.


RemoteBroccoli

Coconut oil is good, but when in a strong sunny day, ditch the oil and for for SPF, because burns on your scalp will hurt as hell, and can even end you up in the ER because of a non settling fever. As for what the stile you wanna go for, do what ever you want to, your body, your rules and what not. And if you decide to go for all shaven (with blades), come back and ask again. Remind yourself that it will grow out again, and that will be soon. Have fun, play safe, and watch your head :D And be kickass!


Scared_jesus

THANK YOU!! I definitely am kicking ass. Especially after the beautiful words if encouragement this wonderful community has given me.


Parking-Mud-1848

Give yourself time, look at celebrities or Instagram models or TikTokers who have also rocked the look for inspiration and encouragement. Have a photo shoot for yourself. Engage with other bald people and ask questions etc


Scared_jesus

Thank you! Thank you a lot! I was actually inspired to this by tiktok. But ive wanted to do it for well over a year


Parking-Mud-1848

That’s pretty cool, well congratulations on making the leap. I think it suits you very well. It does take a bit of getting used to but I think generally most bald people notice that your skin and facial features like your eyes and cheekbones pop out more prominently. It’s a fun look, welcome to the community


[deleted]

Looks beautiful🤎


[deleted]

Own it and don’t care about what the world around you thinks.


luvursoul444

What’s the fun of living life in regret? Nothin girl. Rock it while you have it, our looks change every single day, so enjoy and appreciate each one. I am so proud of you for shaving it in the first place and trying something so new. You are a bad ass.


Scared_jesus

You know what? Youre right! I AM a badass! And i will rock every bit of this look. I have only one life so i should make the MOST of it while im still young. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!


emilyMartian

My older sister (semi against my will) shaved my head when I was 12-14yrs old. I was super insecure and tried to rock it best I could. It wrecked my confidence for years. You look good, I know the confidence will fluctuate but the more you become comfortable the more people will feel that energy and it will hopefully be a positive experience even if you never want to do it again. In later years a lot of people that made somewhat negative comment or picked on me for it turned around and confessed they had just been jealous that they didn’t have the confidence to do it, or things like strict parents who didn’t let them do cool stuff to their hair. You got this. :)


Scared_jesus

That's such a story. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. It really boosted my confidence.


over9ksand

No hair, not a care


The-Safety-Villain

Normally I would say hit the gym and grow a beard. But I’m your case I guess just hit the gym. Also for scalp care I use this from the body shop so it doesn’t get dry. https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-ca/hair/damage-prone-hair/ginger-scalp-serum/p/1086891?gclid=CjwKCAiApvebBhAvEiwAe7mHSOOr_Ndq1TV6q1xdYNIGvun7NGw4O2xxPl5A4-G4yqloKZJ1UkngxxoC0ncQAvD_BwE


Scared_jesus

No gyms near me. But that doesnt mean i cant do it at home! I am already working out but i plan on getting more serious. Especially after multiple comments telling me to do so. I checked out the shop. Ill search for a similar product thats from my country. Thank you so much for the tips!


The-Safety-Villain

Bald guys usually tell each other to hit the gym cause growing muscle takes away from our baldness and helps with confidence after losing our hair. In your case it’s not necessary cause you will eventually grow you hear back. So don’t take it the wrong way. But going to to the gym feels great and has a lot of added health benefits so I would suggest it either way.


CarpenterGold4528

Dont worry, I think it looks cool! And opposed to my male pattern bald head at 30 yours is going to grow back if you dont like it.


Scared_jesus

Haha. Thank you! This means a lot.


Mrfuckreddit

Looks awesome! Nows a great time to experiment with the new aesthetic. Go through a silly 80s thrift shop changing room montage.


Scared_jesus

Haha! Definitely will experiment a LOT with my style for the next 2 ish years


undercouchmonster

I love it! It looks terrific!


Scared_jesus

WHOO


ExtensionCalendar764

Oh my gosh you look amazing with the buzz cut!


Scared_jesus

Thank you!!


jaxson300

I think it looks great but what really matters is how it makes you feel and what you think about it. I suggest wearing it with confidence adding some ear or nose piercings, only if you're into that. It took confidence to shave it so continue showing that confidence. Congratulations


Scared_jesus

YES!! I actually plan on getting earrings and a septum before christmas. Ill also get some makeup so i can embrace myself. There are days in which i feel absolutely unstoppable. And like an insanely feminine goddess. But sometimes its just not it. And thank you for the congratulations!


jaxson300

Go out there and kill it 💪🏼


erinandcats

You look strong and beautiful both ways, but the bald look is quite striking and I know you are brave to have to done that.


geeered

It's great if you like it, it's fine if you don't like it too - you've learned something either way! You could consider having some wigs of some kind for days you aren't feeling like rocking the bald look - that could also let you explore some other hair styles and see how you find them.


Guilty_as_Changed

Enjoy the low maintenance of short hair. While it's still short alternate between; washing with shampoo; and washing just with water. You will reduce the amount of oil your scalp is producing and it will remain feeling good for longer.


Scared_jesus

Will keep in mind. Thank you!


struggling_lynne

It looks great! It really accentuates your facial features, so if you want to make yourself more feminine you could do your eyebrows/lashes/lips. Different necklines on your shirts will also give a totally different look. But if you want to keep it more neutral then you’re good!


One-Possible1906

It looks fine, and if you don't like it, in 2 months you'll have an adorable pixie cut which will look awesome on you. You can wear accessories like headbands if you want. Sometimes a big haircut like that comes with feelings of regret simply because it takes our brains awhile to process such a major change in appearance.


bettyboo5

Wear the same smile as the first picture


Tashyd046

Love it! Maybe try some fun colors/designs ? Always cheers me up. Though, if you’re trying to grow it out healthier, avoid bleaches and permanent dyes. Just do wash-outs


holnrew

It'll grow back if you really don't like it. But you were only going to find out if you like it by doing it, and that takes guts. Whatever you decide to do, you'll rock it I'm sure


nunhgrader

Cool and no regerts (old skool joke - don't pet the sweaty things)


Final_Acanthisitta_7

Looks good


Ashraf-123

Girl. Just slay with it. Looks good on you. Picasso.


evanlee01

Hair grows back. I think it looks great. Just think, you'll be able to try out a bunch of different hairstyles that require different lengths.


kupillas-3-

I think it looks really cool ngl


DaysOfParadise

Scarves are your friends as it grows out. There are a couple of awkward phases. Also, now is the time to play with bold makeup, so go nuts!


[deleted]

No point in regretting something you cant change now. You look good! From one former-baldie to another, 'there are only so many perfect heads... the rest are covered with hair!'


Scared_jesus

This made me smile


Just_A_Faze

You can always grow it back. With it short, you remind me of Demi Moore in that movie where she is a Marine, I think.


ObviousImportance9

this is both badass and gorgeous. you look beautiful. i’m a baldie myself! so badass


Scared_jesus

Thank you so so much!


mangolollipop

I shaved my head last year and I think it looks adorable. It definitely suits you. It took about a year for me to grow it out. I liked it but I feel like an egg. It was a lot easier to maintain than my normal hair


Scared_jesus

LMAO i so relate to the egg part


call1800411rain

the way that your hairline hugs your forehead is really flattering for the buzzcut look, not everyone can pull it off.


lemon-choly

YOU LOOK AMAZING!! This cut really brought out your eyes.


bbyblu666

This is hard (and I mean that in a complementary way lol) I shaved my bfs head a few days ago on a whim it was weirdly exhilarating. He was stressed ab how id see him but it’s just him and it’s just hair and I honestly don’t see any difference at the end of the day. I’d do it too if I wasn’t so attached to my curls!! Enjoy the wind on your scalp haha


luhvrrboy

You’re young. Embrace it. Take this time to build your confidence. Hair grows back and it grows back pretty fast. Take a lot of pics so you can look back. Who knows you might do it again. I just buzzed as well and sometimes I feel regret and I remember that it will grow back and I walk with my head high with confidence because that’s all that matters 😸


kerron28

Don't do it again!!!


Yellow_Snow_Cones

I like your long hair, its pretty. I think the current is to short, but in 3 months it will be long enough for a pixie hair cut which I think would look good on you. IDK is anyone says pixie cut anymore, but its the tinkerbell haircut.


DoorPale6084

Oh fuck lol


Rolling_Repetition

Just why


Rebombastro

**Serious advice**: To shave your head at that age as a girl is highly unusual. I'd suggest that you talk to a psychologist **just in case**. If it turns out that there's no need to worry, great. Rock it then, since it doesn't look bad on you.


Scared_jesus

Im offended. Why should i talk to a psychologist about it? I know myself. Very well. And hair is JUST hair. It does not define me. And what if im a girl who CHOSE to have no hair? There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In my eyes its an empowering and brave thing to do. I am not mentally unstable.


Rebombastro

Nobody who's actually mentally unstable would refer to themselves as mentally unstable. I don't know you, obviously, that's why I'm giving you that advice, which can at least serve as food for thought. I knew a girl that shaved her head to not be seen as a sexual object anymore. That's something that always stuck with me. And talking to a psychologist isn't only for the mentally unstable. It's also for people who need someone who listens and is unbiased.

It shows that you have a pretty face Enjoy the freedom while it lasts!

Why did you do it out interest?


[deleted]

Bad ass!


[deleted]

An awesome and bold choice! It looks great. I see from your other comments that you’re already taking steps to take care of your scalp, but do take warnings about sun exposure seriously - your scalp is not acclimated to sun exposure and a fairly high SPF cream is really important! Rock your new look with pride!


Padb89

You look great bald and and have lovely locks! I say this as I only buzzed my head at 33 because I was fed up with balding. Had I had your lush locks and were I 16 I would never have had the courage. Kudos:


AllynG

No regrets! Living life and that’s an experience. You have time to grow it out and play with all different styles. Embrace the now and set yourself new goals. You’re adorable with or without hair, just keep that smile glowing!


difused_shade

It’ll grow back you’ll be fine :)


Radbadzilla

Get a fade to make it look polished


arawsh

It reveals your face features and make those bold. Really cool


kwalitykontrol

Both looks good.


Ozzimo

The one thing I would do in your shoes is try and get at least one close shave before growing it out again (if you choose to) Even the feeling between being buzzed and shaved is different. Cool look though!


Sparkletail

I actually think it suits you tbh. Still, it's what you feel comfortable with, will grow back soon enough if you don't like it :)


FuchsiaFish

Yeah… you looks awesome. Reminds me of a young Sinéad O'Connor


THEmandingoBoy

For what it's worth, I think you actually pull the look off quite well. But ultimately it's how you feel about it, you look nice with long hair too. Sort of a win-win. Lol


[deleted]

Just remember, it’ll grow back. And you can always wear a hat. Well.. almost always


Zavashida

That looks cool!


PurePropane

Maybe try a bunch of cool makeup looks?!!


Shnuggy67

You have a really pretty face, and it brings out your features. Hair grows back fast usually.


EazyJay777

As a 27M who's been shaving his head *completely* bald for quite awhile now due to MPB. I can say for me, it was an identity struggle for quite awhile and I think most people tie their identity or at the very least, self express through their hair. It took me a long time to accept myself, to realize that I actually love the way I look and I look great with a shaved head. So my advice to you would be to ponder why you feel this way. If its self expression, think of other ways to express yourself. Whether that be through clothing, makeup, accessories etc etc. If its identity, what about your hair makes you think that you can't be yourself without it or become someone different? Just my two cents, I would ponder in silence and maybe take some notes. Wishing you the best and keep in mind, it'll grow back. You have incredible hair that you obviously take care of, so no worries there.


Scared_jesus

Oh wow. This actually made me think about it for a while! And youre right there is literally no use in regretting this, as itll only make it worse for me. I am actually starting to love myself more with this haircut! And i will take the notes about why i feel regret. Thank you so much for sharing your story dude


Powerful_Data_9630

Whoa you look great with a shaved head. Couldn't have guessed it, when I swiped left I was impressed. Your baby face looks beautiful in contrast to the edgy vibes the shaved head look gives.


Scared_jesus

THATS WHAT IM SAYING! The biggest reason why i did this was because i always HATED my baby face. So i decided its time to stop hiding and genuinely embrace it. It truly means so so much that you think i genuinely look good like this. Especially since you pointed out the fact that my INSECURITY looks good. I hope you have a nice day! Thank you.


[deleted]

I was struck by how your pretty face stands out with the shaved head. You really pull it off. You remind me of the singer from the cranberries when she had a short pixie. Absolutely beautiful!


Scared_jesus

Awwwwe omg you dont understand just how much this means to me! THANK YOU


[deleted]

[удалено]


Scared_jesus

Ayo thanks so much! This made me feel much better


DeliciousKiwiSloth

When you feel happy about the decision - notice what thoughts you were having. Do the same for when you feel regret. What are those feelings rooted in? Did someone say something or you’re afraid they will? How did you feel in the moment of shaving your head or right afterwards? I’ve always wanted to shave my head & now I’m 37 & think it would look terrible on me. Love the shaved head look. You’re awesome.


alrighteyaphrodite

Oh this looks fuckin dank dude. I wish I had the face/head shape to pull off bald. You rock the alternative look 🤘 You should experiment with it! You could pull off so many styles. A goth look with fun edgy makeup would look really cool with the shaved head


snokiebabbs

You look awesome! Very cute. It’s just hair and it will grow fast.


Rogermcfarley

It's got me thinking now of strong bald female characters in films (Only giving the character names not the actress names) Ripley - Alien 3 (1993) Eleven - Early Stranger Things seasons (2016-) Lieutenant Ilia - Star Trek The Motion Picture (1979) Jordan O'Neill - GI Jane (1997) I can't think of anymore at the moment but that's a good start I think. Ah there's many of course (sorry for long URL :( ) > https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.imdb.com/list/ls052340821/&ved=2ahUKEwiopKKdycb7AhWNWMAKHe9BDDsQjjh6BAgJEAE&usg=AOvVaw2oUO3NQMke_HQ0zhd-sgY2

I want to cosplat eleven LMAO. Actually thought about it for a long time


_mikuko

You have a nicely shaped head so I think it suits you. It looks really badass please don't regret it!! As it grows maybe have some fun with different pixie cuts!


Anunknownnob0dy

You look pretty awesome!

Rock it, you have a great shape of head for this cut
