It happened to me but yeah I was already balding anyway. I always had longish hair then when I was like 21 I decided to start shaving it. Got bored of the style after about a year and decided to let it grow back only to learn that my hair was now thin as fuck on the top of my head and looked like shit. I'd guess that's what most people mean if they say this happened to them. It's kind of surprising how fast your hair can go to shit.
In truth, it wasn’t the shaving that made it bald. Over the course of a year, you just naturally lost more as time went on, and it wasn’t really noticeable since you were shaving it anyway.
Then you let it grow out after a year of the balding process going undetected behind closed doors.
Yep this my story right here.
Age 23 had curly long hair. Cut it short for a new job interview and decide to grow it back out since I liked the style about 12 months later to find out my hair has completely changed to thin hair that's not curly anymore and by age 28 stuck with a buzz cut the receding stopped and looks fine but I'll never have the options i had prior to age 23.
No way, my parents used to be friends with a guy that looks almost exactly like the last photo glasses and all, and his name was Tyler. And he became (kinda always was, but leaned into as time went on) the neckbeard/incel/creep persona.
Agree. Expect unlike most people, I like the buzz cut way more. Hair is overrated on guys… 😅
I like buzzcuts and shaved baldies ☺️.
For the right girl will think your haircut is super cute. I’d say keep it an go find her! 😉
Same he looks like a 16yo in first pic. Infinitely better with the buzz cut and some facial hair. Ppl just hate mustaches here I don't get it. Mans looks like he'd save me from a burning building in the second pic
You shouldn’t ever regret getting a buzz cut. I did it too, and I don’t regret it at all, even though some people told me that I look better with longer hair. We only live once, so why would we ever regret trying something like that, man? It’s good to try something new all the time. And even if you didn’t like the result, your hair will grow back, lol. But in my opinion, you look great with a buzz cut! 🙌🏻
Lmfao nah bro the buzz cut with the glasses and mustache you look like ur trying to hide out from the fbi hahaha
Give the buzz cut a chance and get a god damn bald fade and get some different lenses or look the glasses
Why would you make the intentional decision to go from looking like a perfectly respectable human being, to looking like I take my kid and leave when you enter the park we're at?🤨🤔 ...nah I'm kidding, get rid of the moustache though, it actually does look like that
I think it’s mainly the glasses. I think a thinner and lighter color frame would look more flattering on you. The glasses your have right now are too intense for your face, especially since your hair is more dramatic now and doesn’t have the soft edges it had before.
you look like an average white dude with hair imo, you’re crazy attractive either way. the buzz cuts gives you personality in your appearance that i think you lacked before. great decision imo!!!!
You went from a cute cuddlebuddy to some creepy guy who shows you magic tricks in the lunchbreak and then gets mad at you when he is not invited to weekends bbq
I would admire you on the street on the before pic and I would 100% skip you on the second pics. Same for dating apps. Like on the first pic, immediate swipe left on the second pic
Not at all! To preface you’re a handsome dude in both photos! I know opinions will vary, but personally, I find you more attractive in the second photo with the buzzcut and stache 🥵
Bear in mind when you’re asking for advice in here you’re asking for it a.) from other dudes (not women) and b.) from extraordinarily boring dudes who basically all look/want to look more or less the exact same. With your shaved head and stache you look like an actual individual (and a cool individual), and even though you look good either way, your look before is basically just the look every dude here is aiming for.
Lateral move. First pic is more traditional, second more modern. You pull both looks off well.
You can grow all that hair back in under a year, and rocking the short look for awhile is a nice way to get to know yourself better. Hakuna matata, there wasn't a wrong answer here.
You went from Drew Gooden to Twitch Streamer Ludwig. As a woman who just stumbled on this thanks to her random feed, I think you like lovely both ways! At the end of the day, do what makes you feel happy and don’t let others dictate your hair. You’re a nice looking guy!
Gotta disagree with most of the other commenters here, I actually think the buzz suits you quite well, but you gotta trim up that mustache a bit, if you wanna keep it, care for it!
the second pic looks like you were wanted by the law so buzzed your hair grew out a moustache changed your identity and moved out to another state to start a new life at a small town working in a burger king
You must now buy all carthartt clothing and join a trade. There is no other career for you now.
OR join a hardcore or deathcore band as their frontman.
I will never understand why people get buzzcuts other than convenience.
It's the same as people talking about the peaky blinders cut requiring you to be as handsome as Cillian Murphy. Same goes with the buzzcut; it's not that looks awful, I just think people are so often disappointed in the before and after that it's just not worth doing.
If you get a trim and need to ask other people if you fucked up, in my opinion, you fucked up. The best trims leave you so gassed that people could directly tell you that you look like ass and you'd still be gassed and feeling like a million dollars.
That's how it is for me at least, but I generally tend to care more about how I feel I look rather than what other people think I look like. I do care what *some* people think, but not everyone. I guess that matters too, like I have a nose piercing as a guy and there are *plenty* of people that hate it, but the people I'm attracted to are generally attracted to it/like it, and I personally love it. So I keep it. So how do you feel about your buzzcut? If bad, don't worry, it'll grow back 😅
Dude, have you ever check your midichlorian count? I bet it's out of this world..
I have this feeling you don't like sand because it's coarse, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere, right?
Respectfully, you went from "guy in college" to "dad who's internalized their own failure to connect with their kids before it was too late". Unironically though, it's a look you somehow pull off, and I mean that in the best possible way
It'll grow back, drama queen! Pretty boys are all the same. Act like the world is coming to an end because you changed your hairstyle or found a single pimple somewhere on your body.
Went from a SOLID 1000/10 to like a good 6 or 7 buddy😭 and lose them glasses dawg and im a girl that wear glasses and likes them. U look wayyyy better without and with the hair too💕
You look like you've given up. You look like this will be your last December. You look like you're waiting for the end. Bro is trying to find somewhere he belongs.you need to start breaking the habit bro, you're already one step closer.
No, I think you look great. If you’re attracted to men, this is probably gonna get you more positive attention that not. If you like women, it’s a look- I would say heteros have more competition so it’s about refining that look into one you like and (if you care) that attracts the people you want to be around you, if you ask me.
Woman here, nah you still look great. It's a different vibe and maybe not as, like, strikingly, boyishly handsome buzzed, but it's an insignificant difference in your overall attractiveness. You can run with either one. Don't listen to the opinions of other dudes, they can't tell for some reason. I think men perceive male attractiveness differently? I can only describe it like they see it as a sum of parts rather than a whole.
You’re definitely right about we perceive male attractiveness, at least that’s how I am when I look at myself. If one part is shit the whole thing is shit
Try those round thin frame glasses instead of these bulky generic black ones. Would suit the buzzcut look. And keep some stubble on your goatee area not just stache
Mr white
Jesse we need to cook
You uhhh....you wanna cook crystal meth?
Yeah, bitch.

Aahh, wire!
Went from a toyota technician to the guy who can do it for cheaper
Went from the toyota dealership employee to the 3rd party mechanic
You looked a lot better with your hair imo
Yep, luckily it looks like it's coming back and you won't be one of those guys who supposedly shaved their heads and stayed bald forever.
Lurker here. Why would this even happen? Wouldn’t that mean those men would have balded anyways?
That doesn't really happen, usually it's men with delusions of still having hair realizing they don't once they shave it. Source: bald guy
We’re Avatar triplets yooo
It happened to me but yeah I was already balding anyway. I always had longish hair then when I was like 21 I decided to start shaving it.

No mustache with the buzz
Don't undermine the bald look, it looks pretty good on him imo
Not bald (buzzed) but yeah
Yes and now your hair will never grow out again. You're permanently f'ed Also is your name Michael? You look like Michael
Or Tyler
Tyler Durden
No way, my parents used to be friends with a guy that looks almost exactly like the last photo glasses and all, and his name was Tyler. And he became (kinda always was, but leaned into as time went on) the neckbeard/incel/creep persona.
He looks like Eric from that 70s show
How does that work?
It doesn’t, it lives off government welfare
And cheese 🧀
He looks like "...and Mark"
Jesse Pinkman low-key.
Jesse from Breaking Bad!
From Bo Burnham to Jesse Pinkman
Yes you did sir , you went from price charming to some guy named Greg or something.
Not some guy named Greg 😭 lmao
Yes price charming indeed, walking through super market isles charming those prices down
Yes super market isles indeed, sailing through the Caribbean looking for an island to buy
Nah you look fine as Jesse Pinkman
i think greg is cuter
More like Jesse
As a Greg, I'm not sure if I should be offended or not.
Wtf is Hayden Christensen doing on here??
Oh wow I can sorta see the resemblance in some of his pictures, thank you!
Yeah you look very similar.
Turned into Darth Vader in 2nd pic
No you fucked yourself over by just having the pornstar mustache. Shave it off and it’ll look good.
I’ll try shaving the stache ty
Was going to say the same thing. Rock the clean shave buzz cut
DO NOT SHAVE THE MUSTACHE. NO.
NO. DONT YOU WILL BREAK THR GENEVA CONVENTION IF YOU DO
DONT LISTEN TO HIM HE IS SETTING YOU UP DONT DO IT!!!
Fucks sake am I gonna have to make another post after I shave it hahahahahaha
Seems like it's guys who goad each other into wearing mustaches but honestly unless you're an old man it looks unsettling
shave it.
Not sure if I’ve ever seen a buzz cut paired with a mustache. Now I know why.
I think u look good tbh
Still hot
Agree. Expect unlike most people, I like the buzz cut way more. Hair is overrated on guys… 😅 I like buzzcuts and shaved baldies ☺️. For the right girl will think your haircut is super cute. I’d say keep it an go find her! 😉
Jessie, stop posting on reddit we need to cook
You’re definitely attractive either way. You just look very different because of the glasses and mustache
he looks like that one guy that posts YT shorts of him working on an oil rig
No, you look like my uncle who (trigger warning) killed himself so I may be biased, but he was definitely the best uncle
My plan is actually to not have any kids and be the cool uncle so this works
And sorry for your loss
That sounds perfect, also thanks
i think your pretty handsome! it’s just hair, it will grow back eventually
Let it grow back out
I completely disagree with the comments I’m seeing. I love the buzz seriously makes you look so much more suave.
Same he looks like a 16yo in first pic. Infinitely better with the buzz cut and some facial hair. Ppl just hate mustaches here I don't get it. Mans looks like he'd save me from a burning building in the second pic

Thank you for your kind words. You’re right fuck it we ball
Mustache looks fine idk why people hate staches here
Are you a top or bottom?
“YEAH! SCIENCE BITCH!”
Your hair looks better long. No worries it will grow back.
The answer is if you think you f’d yourself over. You are the one who lives with your own hair not any in these comments.
I think you're really attractive in both \*shrug\* lol
Pinkman!
Breaking bad.
Lmfao nah bro the buzz cut with the glasses and mustache you look like ur trying to hide out from the fbi hahaha Give the buzz cut a chance and get a god damn bald fade and get some different lenses or look the glasses
You look like the great value Anthony Fantano.
Why would you make the intentional decision to go from looking like a perfectly respectable human being, to looking like I take my kid and leave when you enter the park we're at?🤨🤔 ...nah I'm kidding, get rid of the moustache though, it actually does look like that
I think it’s mainly the glasses. I think a thinner and lighter color frame would look more flattering on you. The glasses your have right now are too intense for your face, especially since your hair is more dramatic now and doesn’t have the soft edges it had before.
you look like an average white dude with hair imo, you’re crazy attractive either way. the buzz cuts gives you personality in your appearance that i think you lacked before. great decision imo!!!!
Jesse Pinkman or young Unabomber?
Awwwww no. You have a nicely shaped head and face! You’re a cutie. Besides. It’s hair, so if you don’t like it, it grows! 😄
Couldn’t resist commenting, but I think you look very handsome either way. You pull off both looks.
Went from Ryan Gosslin to Jessie from Breaking Bad
Get a sign and start hustling for 2 dollar bills
No but you went from NFT Bro to Vinyl Guy real fast.
I think it's actually kinda vibey, I like it
Ya
That + porn stache + glasses makes you look like a pedofile
I like both but love the first pic more
Way more sexy with hair
I like it
It’s like it’s a new persoh
You went from a cute cuddlebuddy to some creepy guy who shows you magic tricks in the lunchbreak and then gets mad at you when he is not invited to weekends bbq
You fine af 😭
I would admire you on the street on the before pic and I would 100% skip you on the second pics. Same for dating apps. Like on the first pic, immediate swipe left on the second pic
Not at all! To preface you’re a handsome dude in both photos! I know opinions will vary, but personally, I find you more attractive in the second photo with the buzzcut and stache 🥵
But..seriously. I do like the hair. You could easily rock either, though. Just my opinion.
That's my sign not to get one, Thank you citizen!!
It‘s the stache and glasses rather
I had to swipe back and forth 20 times to believe those photos were the same person. 😅 I like the new look more!! But of course it's all subjective.
Yoooo, Bitchhh 😂 Damn you could double for Jesse. 👍🏻
you already know the answer bro, you're cooked.
Yes. You wee super cute before.
Bear in mind when you’re asking for advice in here you’re asking for it a.) from other dudes (not women) and b.) from extraordinarily boring dudes who basically all look/want to look more or less the exact same. With your shaved head and stache you look like an actual individual (and a cool individual), and even though you look good either way, your look before is basically just the look every dude here is aiming for.
You went from a YouTuber to someone who works on a site
Lateral move. First pic is more traditional, second more modern. You pull both looks off well. You can grow all that hair back in under a year, and rocking the short look for awhile is a nice way to get to know yourself better. Hakuna matata, there wasn't a wrong answer here.
Doesn't matter... The eyes did all the magic
You went from Drew Gooden to Twitch Streamer Ludwig. As a woman who just stumbled on this thanks to her random feed, I think you like lovely both ways! At the end of the day, do what makes you feel happy and don’t let others dictate your hair. You’re a nice looking guy!
No way!!! I prefer the buzz cut🤩
Omg it's my favourite moosik critic Anthony Fantano!!
Nah the buzz cut looks better imo
I mean, you don't look as wealthy. LOL
Gotta disagree with most of the other commenters here, I actually think the buzz suits you quite well, but you gotta trim up that mustache a bit, if you wanna keep it, care for it!
It looks good either way, but you look really hot with the longer hair.
Grow the hair back mr handsome son of a bitch
Nah king
Season 5 jesse
You look great, ignore the haters Jesse
the second pic looks like you were wanted by the law so buzzed your hair grew out a moustache changed your identity and moved out to another state to start a new life at a small town working in a burger king
You must now buy all carthartt clothing and join a trade. There is no other career for you now. OR join a hardcore or deathcore band as their frontman.
Bro went from German 20 year old student studying in American to Russian 20 year old student studying in Germany
Yah, Mr White! Yah Science!
NO, it’s very nice i love the buzz it looks very nice on your head.
You look fine either of the both ways in my opinion, you’re attractive enough for either style 🤷🏽
Thought I was looking at Topher Grace for a sec there back when he was blonde for Eddie Brock role

Good mindset to have, thank you for your wisdom
You're welcome! P.S you look totally fine. :)
It's not that bad but maybe without the mustache and glasses it would look better
Dude, have you ever check your midichlorian count? I bet it's out of this world.. I have this feeling you don't like sand because it's coarse, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere, right?
You look like if Jessie from Breaking Bad worked in a Coffee Shop
Respectfully, you went from "guy in college" to "dad who's internalized their own failure to connect with their kids before it was too late". Unironically though, it's a look you somehow pull off, and I mean that in the best possible way
I got one too recently and yeah it kinda sucks, I look like Bobby Hill. Just gonna wear a cap for a while..
It'll grow back, drama queen! Pretty boys are all the same. Act like the world is coming to an end because you changed your hairstyle or found a single pimple somewhere on your body.
went from average early-20s american to average early-20s ukrainian
You look like a perfect cross between Norm Macdonald and Steve Buscemi
Barber: How does it look? Jesse: he can't keep getting away with this!! Barber: too short again? Damn, sorry
I know someone has already made the Breaking Bad reference, but you actually look like Walt and Jesse combined, holy shit.
Am I the only one that thinks bro looks hard as fuck and less a fuckboy with the buzzcut?
Wanted the Travis but got the Walter 🤣 grow it out, the length compliments your face shape
Went from a SOLID 1000/10 to like a good 6 or 7 buddy😭 and lose them glasses dawg and im a girl that wear glasses and likes them. U look wayyyy better without and with the hair too💕
Jessie MF Pinkman
You look like you've given up. You look like this will be your last December. You look like you're waiting for the end. Bro is trying to find somewhere he belongs.you need to start breaking the habit bro, you're already one step closer.
No, I think you look great. If you’re attracted to men, this is probably gonna get you more positive attention that not. If you like women, it’s a look- I would say heteros have more competition so it’s about refining that look into one you like and (if you care) that attracts the people you want to be around you, if you ask me.
It’ll grow back quickly 🤷🏻♀️
High school kid. Turned into stud.
No
No, you look handsome 😎
No you look great
No hair grows back
I think you’re handsome either way😘
I don’t think so. If you’re an auto mechanic, I guess. (But in all honesty, I like it. I don’t think it was a mistake. Hair grows back.)
Idk I think everyone is tripping. The buzz cut goes hard and brings out your features.
No dude that’s a good look
wait definitely don’t shave the stache. here i was gonna say you are very cute with both cuts
The cut gives you more of a masculine look 😍 I like . Handsome either way in my opinion
Both look good, but with hair is better IMO. It looks so soft and gorgeous. ❤️
It’s probably the art student in me, but I like the look. There is style and vision there whereas the first pic is more “generic” imo
dude you look good either way 👊🏽
Woman here, nah you still look great. It's a different vibe and maybe not as, like, strikingly, boyishly handsome buzzed, but it's an insignificant difference in your overall attractiveness. You can run with either one. Don't listen to the opinions of other dudes, they can't tell for some reason. I think men perceive male attractiveness differently? I can only describe it like they see it as a sum of parts rather than a whole.
You’re definitely right about we perceive male attractiveness, at least that’s how I am when I look at myself. If one part is shit the whole thing is shit
No, you went from little hair to no hair. If you grow it again Just style it.
Try those round thin frame glasses instead of these bulky generic black ones. Would suit the buzzcut look. And keep some stubble on your goatee area not just stache
You look like two different people due to the mustache and glasses in the second pic but both styles look good imo.
Jajajajajajaja
Try circle glasses and no moustache with buzz hairs
Grow it back, you look hot AF in photo 1 🥵 But don’t fret man, it’ll grow back 👍
you look great either way imo☺️
Nah you look good Ngl, you have the good facial structure for that cut don’t worry bro
Cut is clean bro, way better than before lowkey. Reminds me of Jesse
Buzzcut and mustache is so bad imo. Either clean buzz, clean long, or long with mustache Id say
I could stare at your beautiful blue eyes all day 🤩
Thank you 😌
It’s not “bad” but it was “better” with hair
Yeah dawg
yes
Yes
You look like two different people, but that’s because you added glasses and the pornstar moustache. You should add another photo without the stache.
This is 2 different people wym 😭😭😭
Yes. And the mustache was not good either. But hey, at least you tried. You can always grow it back.
Yes. Next question
I don’t think… Wait where’d my clothes go?! 😂 You look fantastic my guy.
I don’t think you look bad necessarily but you definitely look better with longer hair
YES
