im considering going fully bald

[pexy]

(title might be clickbait but no im not norwooding)


i have medium length curls right now im which im planning to do keratin treatment on next year to loosen them a bit

the dilemma im in now is that my hair health is absolutely nuked

my hairs cut uneven, i have split ends, its frizzy and damaged and i also have bad scalp issues causing me major dandruff

the thing is i see no reason to do keratin with these current issues as it wont even look as great as it could and it may even worsen my already damaged hair

i was thinking to go fully bald so i can try and attempt to solve my scalp issues but to also assure that my hair grows in full and healthy so in 9 months time i’ll have a head of strong healthy hair that’ll respond well to keratin

but man if i go bald im so fucked

i will look so horrible (doesn’t suit my face at all + i have an inflammed scalp) and im currently about to start my first year of university

so descending myself that badly will definitely stunt my ability to try and make friends and improve my social skills as literally everyone will look at me with disgust

im currently weighing up if its best to value the short-term or the long-term

if i value the short-term, my hair will stay damaged and overall will take me way longer to finally get it to a place where it’s optimised, but at least i won’t look as horrible for university and i’ll have better chances of making friends and improving my social skills

if i value the long-term, i’ll completely eradicate my social status, be a complete loner throughout the entire year but at least this time next year i’ll have the best looking hair i have ever had in my life

sorry for the long ass essay, but what do you guys think

yeah

horrible timing

ideally should’ve done it earlier but oh well

don’t wanna go bald for the sake of it

looks horrible unless you have good bone mass

for some reason my hair is much thicker after growing it,and feels much different than before i was bald.

I'd go for the middle dont shave fully bald, but cut off the worst damaged/uneven ends and focus heavily on fixing your scalp. Let the hair grow healthy for the next 6-9 months, then reassess keratin.

You don't need to sacrifice your entire first year socially just to achieve healthier hair later. Your scalp health matters, but shaving doesn't make the hair itself grow back healthier as far as I know

yeah i think this might be the strategy

just leave 2-3 inches of hair

and i’ll try see a dermatologist to get prescribed some topical cream

although i don’t know how healthy that is for my scalp and hair, it should help with the scalp issue

i was going to assure it grows back in healthier by making a hair stack (oils, protectants, hair masks etc.) and sticking to it

i think I’ll still do all that just in combination with the topical steroids i’ll get from the dermatologist
