29 M Struggling to let it go

[u/sidthekiwi]

So the writings on the wall, crown started thinning a few years back, front started going about a year ago after an injury.

Had tough times with self image through life, and the curls were a big part of my identity and one of the few parts of myself that I was always happy with.

Looking for advice as much as anything, styling and whatnot, should I try a buzz? Full shave?

Couple details, I cannot grow a beard due to work requirements and the need to don fire gear or other respirators at any possible moment. Moustache is allowed as long as it’s not too big to break a respirator seal.

Only problem is I’ve never been in love with the stache, but it’s the only facial hair I’m allowed.

Working up the courage to bite the bullet. This sub has been a great resource for helping to blunt the coming blow. Appreciate everyone here.

Amen. I love this sub but most of these men should just pull the trigger and recognize that hair grows back.

I am a bit lost with so many saying to get rid of it. He does have hair; is there no way he can use something to get it back?

[u/blakmechajesus → u/Jonny21213]

OP is probably too far gone for that anyway, but advocating for hair loss treatments is against the rules for the sub, I believe. So that’s why no one is saying it
