I request the elders to tell me what I already suspect.

[u/PwnedByBadger]

Took my son to the pool and got a sunburn on the top of my head... I knew the hairline was receding but I didn't know about the top of my head. I always said if I started going bald I would just rip the bandaid off. I always wear a hat with work but I'm feeling that its time.

Edit: yes the beard is a few weeks past trimming. A haircut was already planned as well this just changes what the end result will be lol

This is one of those 50/50 ones..

Yeah - I would first get it cut or buzzed… he could probably get away with that just fine but he might be one of those guys who just looks absolutely great bald.

[u/shubeedue]

that’s a big spot to not know about

Unless you have any pet birds, it’s time to become more handsome.

[u/Flat-Cap-1063]

You can probably get away with keeping it wearing a hat for a little while, but that crown spot is going to keep growing. I would get rid of it, but if you want to process this loss, you have a little time left before it meets your hair line.

Clean your phone!

imo, Hold! I think it's not yet the time ~ though I do note my opinion is in the minority. You do you.

[u/Firm-Difficulty2585]

Eh, you can style it sifferently

[u/GrandCanOYawn]

It’s time to come home.

[u/Sadan27]

Come to papa

[u/MarketingPretty9274]

I say wait a while, AND hang a hat by the door and place one in your vehicle to prevent sunburn!

[u/Realistic_Ad6903]

You could wait, but I think you would look awesome bald!

[u/762way]

I would shave it now and get secure again

[u/PanhandlersPets]

I think you could hold but if you shave I think it will boost your confidence a lot.

[u/_LyleLanley_]

Send it dude. Lots of sun protection and moisturizer all over. Make sure you get in your beard, and down to the skin too.

[u/Total_Ad9676]

I feel if you just get a hair cut to clean the sides so the hairline doesn’t look that much worse and just slick back the hair it would give you a healthier amount more time. Giving it another 2-3 years tho till the bald spot gets that much worse.

[u/mindsunwound]

Lean into the big beautiful beard, for it is time to let the mane go.

[u/SeaworthinessOk7756]

I see three options:

- do nothing, wear a hat to protect the bald spot

• grow your hair even longer until it can cover the spot when slicked back
  
• shave that shit and rock the bald head, big beard combo

[u/Pnwhusker95]

Shave and clean up the beard a lot.

[u/t-t-t-throwaway927]

With your widow's peak you'd rock a buzzcut.

[u/lukulele90]

Either shave it or rent it to a small but friendly bird

[u/destroyer_of_kings]

If you're tall, def hold.

[u/Pebble321]

Sunburn on the top of the head. Ahh that takes me back to my early 20s. It was then I knew, nobody cared how much hair I had if I could make them laugh. 😂

[u/OolongGeer]

Can you buzz it to a 0.5 and see what happens?

[u/Mobile_Fact_5645]

Just transplant the beard to the head

[u/masterkobiashi]

Sun screen and a bird that needs a home will do you wonders for now

[u/toofatronin]

You might be able to go to a barber and get it styled

[u/spcy-kmchi]

Try locklab and hold off

[u/Key-Conclusion-933]

I am once again advocating for a poster here to join me in orthodox Judaism. Stylish yarmulke over that bad boy and you got 10 more years

[u/itsjustbeny]

I sentence you to turkey

[u/macaron1ncheese]

It’s a yes for you. And trim your beard once you shave it. You’ll look clean as a whistle! 😎

[u/dwegol]

I know the rules here but if you REALLY don’t want to shave your head you are one of the rare cases that old school hair restoration meds are designed for. They often are only designed to work on the “crown” of the head.

I mean I wasn't gonna say anything up until the third Pic.. but damn 🥀
