The bloke feels like a new man after going a staggering 13 years without a haircut – now he’s thanking people on social media for encouraging him to make the change
Often people might go weeks or even months without a haircut. Getting a trim every now and again is usually the self-care we all need sometimes, but you might find the odd person who leaves it until a few years without one.
Now over on Reddit, one man revealed how an awkward moment spurred on his first haircut in a whopping 13 years. The bloke, who shared his transformation in the r/bald forum which boasts 241,000 members, said he was inspired to do something about his locks after a photo of the top of his head lead to others comparing him to former adult movie star Ron Jeremy.
He said: “I was the Metallica shirt guy that posted yesterday about being caught out by my own security camera, I really only expected a couple of comments, but it kinda took off.
“Just for some context the security camera was not in the bathroom, it was in the laundry room to monitor the cats while I was away since they eat in the laundry.”
The first photo shows him from behind where his hair is long and slightly bald from the top. Meanwhile the next snap is of his long luscious locks. And finally, the third shot he’s completely bald.
He continued: “But yeah, I did it! Hopefully no more comparisons drawn to Asmongold or Ron Jeremy.
“Thank you all for the encouragement, it’s kinda surreal after 13 years without a haircut. I actually really like it. Let me know what you think!”
Since he shared the post, it garnered 26,000 upvotes, along with 1,100 comments. One said: “You look amazing!”
Another added: “Much better, you look even younger!” While a third chimed in: “YES! We love seeing UPDATES! You look so great!” And a fourth chimed in: “Yoooo that looks so much better!! Congrats dude it rocks.”
It’s quite important to trim your hair every so often as it prevents split ends, promotes healthier and long-appearing growth. By removing split and damaged ends, trimming prevents further breakage, reduces frizz and tangles.
Getting a haircut can also make it easier to manage, while having regular trims could also boost your confidence too. It comes after one man who didn’t cut his hair for four years looks unrecognisable after his transformation.
He explained the man had been growing his hair for about four years before he decided he wanted to have a new look. The hair stylist shared a video on TikTok displaying his client’s look before and after giving him a haircut.
