@deviantollam who needs hair? says me balding middle aged man

@deviantollam You can pull bald off well, but for some reason it makes me want to wrestle you.

@frigginglorious heh, now I'm looking around for a folding chair

@deviantollam razor shaved, go 5 blades, soothe with baby oil. feels great.

@cisene that's even more aggressive than what I'm doing now... I might need baby steps there 😁

@deviantollam Been doing it for a few years now, since Covid when I was bored. Every 3-4 days. Looking into permanent hair removal. :)

@deviantollam you look like you can crack an egg with your bare hands. 
Show threadDeviant OllamMar 10
@skyglobe I can do that but that's probably assisted by the fact that I wear a ring and that can concentrate force inside one's fist 😉🥚

@deviantollam You're not fooling anyone, you're just optimizing for wearing wigs 🤪

@deviantollam Looking good (but that comes from someone who've sported similar hair for decades bc it can be done at home at no cost.)

@deviantollam you look slightly more elfin in that first picture than you usually do, but otherwise you look the same as ever, except that you lost a fight with a weed-whacker :)

it's fine, man. don't even stress.

@deviantollam it looks much more intentional this way.

The problem with trying to hold on to a hairstyle that one no longer has the density for, is that it gives this impression of trying to uphold a flimsy illusion, that like, you have decided to be a specific kind of guy and no amount of not being that guy is going to stop you from trying.

Leaning in to where your head already wants to go, by contrast, gives the impression of knowing who you are, and fully embracing it. It's confident!

@deviantollam I also feel this way about grey hair and natural curls, so like, I'm biased.

@deviantollam “new hair” as in “new moon” 🌑

@deviantollam I've made the same move a decade and a half ago. I also did it gradually. Not looking back. A few tips:

  • The scalp can get greasy. That's a downside.
  • Wear a hat and/or don't forget to use sunscreen. You have extra skin needs taking care of.
  • When it's cold, you'll need a hat.

    @deviantollam I took the plunge back in December, going from long hair to bald, and I've been happy. I think it works if you keep the beard.
    Show threadAllpointsMar 10
    @deviantollam welcome to the club. It looks good and you'll find it so much easier to maintain. Less time on daily grooming and being able to do it yourself means less time and expense getting it cut on a regular basis

    @deviantollam polished or fuzzy? both work. as someone that went grey early, shorter makes me look younger and it does with you as well (if that is important). it can be difficult to look older than you are in any tech or tech related industry...

    @deviantollam It suits you.

    Now I have to figure out how to recognize you again.

    @deviantollam Head shaving can be liberating, but the down-side, if you sweat a lot, is there's nothing to soak it up, so you may need a headband to avoid drowning. 😉
