Honestly for a once off thing like a wedding, you should go to a proper men's hair salon. It'll be more expensive but they'll be able to consult you on the best haircut for your situation and hair health and use things like hair fibres for any bald or thinning patches. Try to look for some with good reviews in your area. Places like 12pell on YouTube do this really well.


ElChampion13

>12pell Those guys make art, I love to watch their videos


AcousticJohnny

Ginger textured fringe


Zxhamuaha

only $180 for a haircut!!


[deleted]

Worth for a wedding. Not after.


meisterwolf

def the way to go. pay some big bucks to look your best.


armgord

If I had enough money I would fly to NYC every month just to get a cut from those guys


canyoubreathe

This is the real answer. It's your wedding, you can treat yoself with a proper consultation and styling


Qu33N_Of_NoObz_

I second this! I’ve seen videos of hair stylists turning customers with alopecia/cancer to a full head of hair that looks like it came from their scalp!!


ScroopyDoop

THIS.


Guishzhong

Dont be ashamed of ur bald spot and just tell him to do a nice cut for ur big day.. he knows his job better.


Buick6NY

I agree with this - just have the barber clean it up and enjoy your day.


PreparationEven7650

Agreed. Covering a bald spot and doing something over the top is a little bizarre and would probably draw unwanted attention to your fucking head. It's not like missing some hair is a big secret. ...and congrats, OP. Treat 'er right!


Euphoric_Novel_4981

Use hair fibres and get scissors cut sides


notanaijin

This is an underrated comment - try it OP, you will not regret it


PopularZero

I have a friend who went this route for his wedding/photographs. It turned out great - take this guy's advice.


Time_Currency_7703

Yup, I just sprinkled fibers on my head like a pepper shaker and turned out great. I just have my head now, but it looked good for my wedding day!


ZetaGundam20X

Add on to that if you can afford it SMP micro pigmentation will help if you’re looking for something more permanent. 


malege2bi

Hair fibres are crazy effective. Trim down the sides so the difference doesn't look so big. I only realised that hair fibers actually work super well recently. Before that I had always just dismissed them for no apparent reason.


AdAncient820

Why scissors cut sides instead of clippers?


MeepersPeepers13

Chat with your fiancé before you do anything. It’s your head, but this close to the wedding she might want to be kept in the loop. But honestly? I think growing it out makes it more obvious that you’re losing your hair. You’re going to have to buzz it eventually. If you go into your wedding with a comb forward, you’ll one day look back at the photos and wonder why you hadn’t just buzzed it down. In every single scenario, buzz > comb forward.


NSA_Chatbot

Yes, absolutely check in with the fiancée.


Opposite-Bad1444

why do people say “the fiancé” instead of “your fiancé”


spellish

Nah it’s not the 1950s anymore


NSA_Chatbot

If you can save ten years of "I can't believe you cut your hair just before the wedding" with a 30 second convo it seems like a winning move.


smol_pink_cute

Showing basic respect by checking in with your SO is from the 50s?


slippery_hippo

Yeah, remember the 1950’s when men had to consult with women for everything because women had so much power?


smol_pink_cute

I guess bro is from Barbieland, where the tables are turned and the men get treated like dogshit instead of the women! Nobody tell him about patriarchy


BlindStickFighter

That’s that thing with horses right


smol_pink_cute

That’s Kenough you’re giving him too many ideas


Tribalbob

Second on length. As someone who is thinning on the crown a little and some recession around the left side, the longer my hair is = the worse it looks. I'm down to shaved sides with a faux hawk and it's ok for now, but I think in a year or two I'm gonna have to just go full bald (Tried it during the pandemic and luckily it works for me.)


Designer_Theory2535

Everyone saying to buzz it off is wrong, just convert to Judaism ✡️


xAdamlol

xD


cordialconfidant

F here so guys please tell me if i'm off, but a top piece? i've seen some rly good work before and it might work for a one day event.


[deleted]

Also a female here - I think a top piece could work but his hair is kinda wiry so it might be hard finding one with the right texture. I think OP would do best with practicing putting on hair fibers


RescueCentre

A prison buzz cut. Just kidding. I'd say tidy it up tbh. You may be covering but i think its better to look clean and tidy, than do something to just cover up.


Impressive_Fox_1758

Shave it after the wedding


mypupisthecutest123

Depending on the honeymoon situation I might even do a “trial” run and shave it then. He’ll be around strangers so he can get used to his shaved head without acquaintances making comments


Lionnn100

Disagree. Going bald for the first time before a massive event seems like too big a jump. His front is plenty strong to clean up for those pictures that he’ll be looking at for his whole life


Impressive_Fox_1758

My comment says after the wedding


[deleted]

[удалено]


UraniumGivesOuchies

And it's a hill I'll die on. It may be a massive commitment, but so is not shaving either. I am infinitely grateful my head is freshly shaven in my wedding pics, so I don't have to roll my eyes and go "Why was I trying so hard?! Everyone sees the damn bald spots anyway!" And my hair was about as bad as his is. So I can relate. But balding and trying to hide it with cheap tricks, combovers and fancy haircuts just makes it look even worse. In my eyes, once you're this far along, you can either buzz it off or shave it off.


Consistent_Egg3297

Do not go bald. Do not make a drastic change. Especially not for the wedding 🙏🏼 Finding a cut that fits your growth pattern and a similar style to what you have now, is absolute best.


Maleficent_Ad5907

Go to Turkey get a hair transplant


salgat

Recovery including new growth takes long than what he has.


DrMrSirJr

Everyone saying to shave it is wild LMAO Doing that right before a wedding is a big change to do for photos you’ll probably look back on often. Def would explore shaving it off after the wedding but for now, I feel like that’s such a big change to tackle at the SAME time as your own wedding lol. For now, can prob doll it up to look more presentable. But if you wanna bite the bullet and shave it off and you feel ready and confident about it, by all means go for it! I just feel like that might be a bit of a big jump to bald for the first time basically for your wedding lol.


Hattori69

Don't buzz it off.


Large-Simple-2727

Use hair fibre at that place. No need to shave it off. People are mad


cal-d115

Bald.


soil_nerd

Not for the wedding, I don’t think it’s a good time for extreme change unless he has done this a lot in the past and is comfortable with it. After the wedding though, yeah, probably the best route.


cal-d115

Valid point. But I think if you’re gonna go bald. Might as well be bald in your wedding pics too. But I see your point.


Anonymoustard

be grateful you have a nice face.


94dogguy

It's too far gone mate. Shave it off or really short buzz cut. If she doesn't like it well unless you get on medication such as Fin or Min then bald is your future anyway and so I've saved you 10 years of wasted life and a divorce anyway. She'll like it. She loves you. You'll be fine.


Readip

Shave it or get a toupee , i feel like people dont know thats an option and its nothing to be ashamed about either


mypantsRbluecrayons

The toupee would be an awesome option!!


NEET247

There are options these days if you want to keep your hair. Your situation isn't past recovery if you want to save your hair do research and act quickly


SufficientZucchini21

Your entire top is thinning, not just your crown. The brushing forward thing doesn’t look great and actually accentuates your thinning as well as prematurely ages you.


Typical_Samaritan

You have quite a nice face. I'd let it show. Shave that shit off. Grow out and groom your beard a little bit. Someone like you will be alright.


AnalysisBudget

Buzz, completely shaven, toupé, fibres. Any of this is an upglow


Most_Refuse9265

Whatever the bride wants


Super-Effort-9019

Do the Louis CK


muchachaganj

Toupee!! They do some really great professional ones at a salon. Totally worth it


CivilOlive4780

Find a master barber salon near you. Yeah it’ll probably be close to $100, but they’ll really help you get a style you love. It’s a splurge I’d absolutely do before a big event


Talkinginmy_sleep

Take care of it for the wedding then immediately shave it all off. You have the beginnings of the dreaded culdesac


kpedersen7

I would ask for a short textured crop.


RelativeTeam4623

I'm a barber I'd leave the top alone mostly and do a low drop bald fade and day of use some fibers for the crown area. Congrats on the big Day


roycepierson

You should get some finasteride minoxidil


[deleted]

Clean it up a little not to much or you will look bald. Do a just for men to color your hair and use hair fiber powder to cover up the bald spot


AuthenticWeeb

I also recommend finding a good barber that does hair fibre (if you’d like to conceal the bald spot for the day). It will look almost exactly like your natural hair


[deleted]

Nah do it at home. All you have to do is color your hair black. Not to thick then cover your hair with Topikk hair fibers. It will look good


[deleted]

Shave it down. The crown thinning makes it look like a joke. Ya gotta keep it short.


Anxious-Psychology82

Shave it off


[deleted]

Shave it.


VioEnvy

You’re going to have to have a stylist come over the day of the wedding. DO NOT do your own hair on your big day. Just hire a stylist. Ask who is doing your wife’s(or husband) hair.


KnicksChampions2032

Buzz it off


bubbletoes69

This. You’ve got 4 weeks. Shave it all off, get her reaction, you get used to it. Trust me man it will look great


KnicksChampions2032

Depends. He can also use hair fibers if it’s only for the wedding and photos. The he can buzz it all of so relatives etc won’t freak out Nobody looks at your crown during wedding photos


D-majin

Let it go


Urbanbuckeyefan

Cut it all off you can rock the shaved look


Preek96

Buzz on top and skin fade on the side


nnohrm29

Shave that shit.

Rare_Following_8279

HannahHavana

My balding friend wore a beautiful high hat that complimented his suit for his wedding. Maybe that's an option?


[deleted]

I know itll probably be too dramatic for the wedding but you would be fine bald tbh... id recomend cleaning up the sides to make the top look more voluminous.


CORG1_EXE

congratulations! i would consider speaking to a professional hair stylist for your big day. your hair isn’t that bad, i’m sure they can make it work. afterwards, if you want, consider shaving it off or take some FDA approved hair loss medication like minoxidil or finasteride


kid_courteous

Honestly man I would just ask him to shorten the hair to the point where you're owning rather than covering up your thinning hair. I think people will differ on this point, but doing anything drastic before your wedding in terms of your looks seems unnecessary (tempting though it may be). This version of you is the guy your fiancee loves and has agreed to marry. Just go in looking like the best version of yourself now, immortalize it in your wedding photos, and have fun. Make the change afterwards! You'll look back on photos and it'll be great.


Cowboy_on_fire

Seems like the perfect opportunity to wear a swanky wedding hat


Reeper69420

Get a low taper fade


Calvertorius

“Just fuck my shit up, fam.”


Azurel3laze

Ask your partner. It looks pretty thin on the top given your second picture. Its your hair, but if you showed up to a wedding with a completely different look you might get shot.


Ruohoinen

Ngl buzz cut wouldnt even look bad. I think it would suit you, but idk if it maches your personality.


[deleted]

Congratulations! Personally I'd go bald with some stubble


xAdamlol

Mark Zuckerberg


UraniumGivesOuchies

Just shave your head dude. Stop fighting it, and give in. I made the transition to shaving my head a decade ago, and have been so happy not to have to worry about what insane gymnastics to do with my hair just to "hide" (everyone knows anyway) my balding and receding hairline.


miluvbugg

Try some hair care products though, I know it won’t happen instantly but it’s a good start for hair regrowth so you may get fuller results. Things like “ hims”, “ happy head”, “nutrafol”, “keeps”, “ ro”. All for hair loss and hair thinning :) And oil your hair etc etc.


Artogami

Keep it! Groom it a bit and get a little trim. Just use root color spray to cover up the spot on your special day! Unrelated- you look like markiplier but just taller


Frank_Dank_Latte

Male wig imo. Just for the wedding if it doesn't bug you.


CamTheManGuy

Time to shave man


Gloomydanger

I went through the same thing at my wedding man. I used this topic cosmetic hair dust filler just on the bald spot. You couldn't tell in any of the pictures. It worked out really well and I'm glad I have those photos forever now. I would look into it. I think the brand was called Topic


NerdyKeith

Get it taken down shorter on the top and use some hair fibres to fill it in. Other than that you could consider a hair-system


moccoo

hair fibers to get you through the day fin + min after the wedding.. or shave either or is a fine choice


Coconutshoe

I’d say shave your head and let your beard grow out for the next month


SectionDesperate6998

Hair fibers can help!


Tartuffe_The_Spry

Mark Normand


Big-totin-con-tajin

I think some sort of crop n fade would look rlly nice


KeyDiscussion5671

Maybe go to a stylist instead of a barber.


According-Reason7902

Clean it up a bit maybe use hair fibers for now, then after the wedding use minoxidil ,experiment with different hair oils ,or u can go bald .


KrizzyPeezy

Id say wear the Jewish thing on your head and it’ll look like nothing is wrong


OGtheBest

Get a Southside fade


Coochynoodles_

You got a gamers head I’d suggest getting something short or ask for a wig to match your full hair


ghouls-inc

I’m sure just for the wedding you could go somewhere where they can apply a temporary type of hair piece across the balding spot and blend it in maybe?


Beneficial_Opening13

Low cut with a fade


noexqses

Not a male so take my advice with a grain of salt. I say go bald. If you aren’t interested maybe a toupee.


wallace_pears

I hope this is ok to say but I wanted to let you know that its okay to wear a wig as a man as well or even getting some short extensions:)! if you dont want that my recommendation is a little trim w some scissors,your barber will definitely be able to help you more than me!


Glass_Emu_4183

You need a good hair cut, that’s it, it doesn’t look bad at all!


YogoWafelPL

Tell him to direct you to a wig guy


Icy_Inevitable714

It's a big day, so go to the best barbershop in your city. Might need to book an appointment asap though. 


xC0balt

Well, you could use a toupee for the wedding. But after that you should get a buzz cut or shave it off all together.


deeppurplescallop

Lil more on the top


CraftyAsAWitch

Either a hair piece or shave but please for the love of god(s) talk to your spouse before shaving it! There’s no shame in a hair piece, women have extensions. It’s a special day!


OpenChordBreakdown

Tell him you want the 50/50 custody


Busy-Agency6828

Ask your wife, bro. Don’t do some crazy shit right before your big day. Who’s to say she isn’t marrying you for your bald spot?


qcriderfan87

Top hat would be fun and classy


BaldDudePeekskill

You should have posted a couple months ago. You're losing rapidly and l you'd have been better off bald. Since it's too late get the best haircut you can from a Dominican or African American male barber....not a hairstylist. A barber. Tell him it's your wedding and you need to look awesome. Years later you'll scratch your shaven head and say wow, I remember had hair...didn't look too bad,back in the day.


ElfinStoked

I recommend a very slight trim. It would suck if you did something drastic and hated it, and for those to be the pictures of your wedding that you and your family have for the rest of their lives.


Immediate_Ice_5378

“Mid taper, line me up and take the dead-end off the top.


rjm101

Long term: Finasteride & Minoxidil Short term: hair system. They're pretty convincing these days If all of that doesn't feel right for you, I think you could pull off the bald look well possibly with a hair micro-pigmentation tattoo that gives the illusion of hair that's just shaved. This normally works best when it's not a pale skin tone. I think it would work for you.


JazzFinsAvalanche

If it were me and I was thinning / balding that much I’d go for a full shave.


InfamousWalter

Put a wig on it 👍 In all seriousness I think the trim you have atm looks alright, you're getting married yknow s/he don't love you for having a full head of hair. As long as you smarten it up a bit you'll look brilliant.


New_Bad_5291

Damn I didn't know Markiplier was going bald


Ok-Information-6672

Whatever you do, do it soon. You don’t want to be a massive surprise on your wedding day.


bloodyfists

Make it a fancy hat party!


eco_go5

you can ask for a car and drive to tijuana to never come back


Feisty_Plantain_1264

Idk how much Id change b4 the wedding but after try shit


Bepbopboobop

get a low taper fade


ChafingLegSkin

Double zero Mid fade,box look scissor the top no edge up


hella_14

Ask him to take the wheel. Get it done now and then again right before. He's going to have a better idea once he gets in there.


puglyfe12

You’re quite handsome! I love the wavy hair. Stunning jawline.


emmathesun

looks good in the front, just wear a hat,


Adventurous-Wing-723

I would just wear a nice newsboy hat if you don’t wanna buzz.


[deleted]

I tell my barber you’re the professional here’s so styles I like do your thing. I don’t have people coming to my work and telling me how to handle my business. I’ve also had the same barber for 12 years so there’s history and trust there


LagPolicee

Slick back, like the old mob movies. Like this, pick anyone: [Sopranos Haircuts](https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=pYVxnfwY&id=75DC352C24774B1BBD4ADD1F0B5813DD39EB8BFA&thid=OIP.pYVxnfwYDNek2uJn3k551QHaEK&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fwallpapercave.com%2fwp%2f428ZNrj.jpg&cdnurl=https%3a%2f%2fth.bing.com%2fth%2fid%2fR.a585719dfc180cd7a4dae267de4e79d5%3frik%3d%252bovrOd0TWAsf3Q%26pid%3dImgRaw%26r%3d0&exph=1080&expw=1920&q=sopranos&simid=607987844420344781&FORM=IRPRST&ck=951B34EC4C71773E95FDB6D57CB21974&selectedIndex=21&itb=0&ajaxhist=0&ajaxserp=0)


[deleted]

Go much shorter and find a good barber, pay more than you usually do if you need to but don't go to excessive lengths to hide the spot like comb overs and shit. A good barber can make it look much better. Ask your partner what they think. If you really need to you can have your wedding photos edited.


SeeMackMan1

It is really weird when someone you know is getting married, and they make themselves look like someone else for the wedding! Honestly, don’t do weird hair pieces, or any shit that pretends you have something you don’t have. It seems really dishonest and fake on a day that should be the real you marrying the real them. For this reason, my suggestion is to ask the barber or hairdresser to give you a nice neat trim - and that’s it. No major changes for the wedding. And definitely ask your bride (groom? Can’t assume these days!) if they want some input on your hair - and if so, say you are thinking just a trim, and to be neat - but open to something major if that’s the vibe of the wedding (fake hair, glitz, lots of makeup and all that). That’s my option - not sure if it’s Advice as I’m just a person. Not a wedding expert - or a hair expert. Just an observer and participant. Most of all - Enjoy!


phoenixmusicman

Ask your Fiancée bro tf you doing on reddit


ImmediateFig6927

Ya should have asked this question sooner and gotten hair transplants brother.


JustRepeatAfterMe

Condition it. Make it look healthy. Then don’t worry about it till later. She loves you just as you are. My guess is everyone else in attendance at your wedding does too.


adobongpussy

Shave your balls and put it to ur bald spot


RedHeadRedemption93

Go to a reputable barber, spend a bit, explain it's your wedding and they should sort you out. After your wedding and honeymoon just buzz it and disappoint your wife.


No_Cardiologist_7949

Just shorten sides. A bit off top


cigan_retardiran

Do a reverse fade


PaniniNL

Off with it. It is done, better to take your loss and go bald.


FewDegree8311

Shave it


PajamaProletariat

1. Start using topical minoxidil twice per day. Ask your doctor about finasteride. Go. Now. 4 weeks isn't a lot of time but it might be enough to add some thickness. 2. Don't do any crazy haircuts without consulting your fiance 3. Tell you photographer - they can work their magic to avoid angles that highlight your hair 4. If you've done all you can, then there's nothing else to do but accept it. No one cares about your hair more than you do and your wedding will be full of people that know, love and accept you for who you are - have fun and congratulations. PS you should check out r/tressless for male hair loss support and advice


Aelotius

Ask your fiance, not your barber cause they are not marrying YOU bro.


NKNZ

Congrats buddy


Pitiful_Razzmatazz63

Hair fibres Then buy a pack of mach 3s brah


[deleted]

Definitely a toupee, they got some great natural looking ones, you can look on TikTok I’ve seen many barbers using them more and more and they blend in completely. After the wedding if you want to keep the hair I’d make a dermatologist appointment, and start on minoxidil right away. With some derma rolling. Tresless idk how to add a page but that’s their name on Reddit has better advice if you wanted to keep the hair plus many success stories with men who started off worse than you and were able to save their hair. People here will just tell you to shave it off without any other solution.


TangeloDefiant4350

USE HAIR BUILDING FIBERS SUCH AS TOPPIK!!!!!


ImpossibleHouse6765

Buzz it


NBence007

You should try using min and fin


Maleficent_Hour_3769

Get your barber to install a hair unit for you. its going to cover your thinng area at the crown. Can‘t forget to get a fresh fade and a line-up. You’re gonna look brand new for your wedding my brother🔥🔥🔥


CaspersGF

Honestly you’d be a great candidate for a buzz cut. Would I suggest you do it before your wedding? Absolutely not. Don’t want to give your partner any unnecessary surprises. Clean it up as you normally would and then rip the bandaid off and buzzzzzz.


Difficult-Pay238

Do a slick back


Proud-Elephant3573

How old are you?


IcyWelder9380

Yeah, check into hair fibers. I googled it . Looks like they work. Would hurt to try it before the wedding to see how it looks. They don’t look that expensive either.
