New Rule Posted - Fuck Cancer

798 Upvotes

Rule #9 has been posted as a further explanation regarding our automod, specifically around the phrase "fuck cancer". We review each of those as they come through and approve them as quickly as we can. It can be frustrating so we wanted to add some transparency to how things work to keep this place supportive. Cancer is horrible to many people, their friends, and families; and we are happy that the community at r/bald can provide some minor relief to those managing the awful disease. Fuck cancer.

liberated, I think. feels weird. 0 guard.

edit: thanks for the kind words. The main reason I wanted to edit was to say it’s incredibly fun to rub your noggin so if you’re on the fence just do it if only for the satisfaction of rubbing your dome. Looking better is secondary.

Had to do one ridiculous pose (people who take themselves too seriously are no fun) but I think it's an improvement! Thank you all for the help today!

P.S. To the three people who recommended head tats don't worry I'm way ahead of you .... Updates coming at some point.

Before photos at the end.

Before I started losing my hair , I was really upset because I was so young and I had so many insecurities but Going bald completely, was actually really interesting to me ! Honestly, I never thought shaving my head completely would make me feel so much better and more confident! It’s an incredible feeling not having to worry about how to style your hair just to hide your bald spots. Also I feel like you just get more respect from people ! Just in general , the confidence you get it’s amazing ! I shaved completely 4 months ago and I’m only 25 years old !

Raised about three thousand dollars for breast cancer (Glenn McGrath Foundation). Of course it’s Australia so needed a skin cancer protection hat. 47 if that matters. This was a couple of months ago, have kept it off since.

After getting an awkward cut and side-eye from my barber this summer, I humbly submit to the council.

How much longer should I fear the wind?

Finally took the leap and figured why keep trying to hang onto something that wasn’t going to improve on its own

I’ve been steadily losing hair since my early twenties. I’m currently 48 and figured, let’s finally do this! Kind of wish I had done this a long time ago.

Unintentionally rhyming title, but the urge to nuke it all has been rising lately 🤔 (Nuke the top, not the beard)

I moved my webcam lower so I don't have to see my bald band every time I join a Teams Meeting.

Did you all go to your barber for that first shave?

Family photos told me it may be time...

After battling the self-conscious thoughts for a few years and trying out a few different hair styles, I took the plunge today as a trial. We had family photos taken last week and some combination of a bad hair day and studio lighting didn't agree with what I've got going on these days - I know it doesn't look like this on a daily basis, but it was enough to sting.

So far, the toddler and wife aren't completely sold, and the 3 year old told me I need to "Grow those back right away, now" lol

How did I do?
