>>303728Every time I leave my house to go anywhere now, it’s like 3 or 4 dudes out of 10 have their heads shaved. It’s starting to look like some secret cult. It’s funny. It truly is the combover of this generation. The way I see it, it’s just another way of hiding the receding hair. It’s not “owning it” in any way. Owning it would be to just not care and let the male pattern baldness follow its course, without a care in the world, not obsessively shaving your head every other day to hide it.
There is this weird idea that if you’re showing your scalp, you’re owning your baldness, but that’s just false. The problem was never the scalp itself, but the receding hair pattern, and shaving your head hides exactly that, pretty much.
Not throwing shade at you, wiz, just something I noticed for some time, and your post really brought it up out of me. I am balding myself, but shaving is just an extra chore. Better to have a regular haircut every six months or so and let the crown show. It’s fine. If there’s a style that I feel like is “owning it,” one’s baldness would be like pic related. No hiding the pattern, no obsessive shaving, just what it is.
I mean, if you want to shave it and you like the look, that’s all that matters, really. I’m just throwing my two cents in on this shaved head trend it's been going on for a while now.
