This December, we’re championing kindness in all its forms through HuffPost UK’s Kindness Advent Calendar. Check back daily (until 24 December) for new stories focusing on how individuals and communities are going above and beyond to help others in their times of need. While kindness and positivity can be found online, the internet has also become synonymous with negativity: in some communities, the ease of hiding behind a screen has helped trolling and cyber-bullying become the norm. Yet there is one corner of the internet where kindness and praise are at the core of people’s interactions – and it’s unbelievably wholesome. r/Bald is a subreddit (moderated community) on Reddit where people who are losing their hair or need to shave their heads can find support in taking the next step to embrace baldness. Often, posters will share a photo of themselves with a receding hairline or a bald spot near their crown, and will then share their transformation photo: a shot of them sans hair. And the comments when they take the plunge are incredibly uplifting. In response to one poster’s shot of his newly-shaved head titled, “Was it a right decision?” , posters unanimously agreed that: yes, it certainly was. “EXCUSE ME. WTF IS THAT GLOW UP?!” asked one Redditor. Another commented: “100% the right call, welcome home brother.” “This whole comment section is probably the single greatest confidence booster any one person has ever received in all of history,” added another respondent. After a cool 54,000 upvotes and 5,000 comments on his new look, the original poster (OP) noted: “I’m gonna feed myself with those comments right until my death.” (Honestly, I would be doing the same.) Another poster shared before and after photos of their journey to embracing baldness, titled ”’Tis done”. They added: “I decided to go for it before the new year and am loving it. Thanks for the encouragement, y’all. This community is something else.” There were comments of “dude, you’re hot” and “wise decision”, as well as: “You were handsome enough that it was working, but now you’re off the charts.” Another Redditor said: “I’m one of the women who has no idea how they ended up on this sub, but every time I see the before and after, I’m absolutely stoked for the OPs. Amazing.” r/Bald’s philosophy is to “embrace bald and strive to make the world a more bald-friendly place”. “We’re often sold the idea that bald is bad. That’s bullshit,” reads the sub’s description. “As we grow and mature everyone experiences the ageing process a little differently, for most of us here, that includes varying degrees of hair-loss. “It is natural. And it is nothing to be ashamed of – here we’ll support each other and learn to take pride in our baldness.” One of the moderators for the subreddit, Jack (also known as geekbro27), told HuffPost UK: “Kindness has naturally become the identity of r/bald. It is important since those that accept going bald are often vulnerable with the change. “Kindness and acceptance from others helps build their confidence with their new look.” The subreddit has become a space for everyone to enjoy – even those who aren’t losing their hair or opting to go bald. Redditor BabyBearHS said of it: “It’s the only subreddit I actually enjoy reading, everyone is so nice to each other.” “I’m not even close to going bald,” added bornblackknight, “but I come here all the time to read the nice things people say to each other. [It] Restores my faith in humanity.” So, next time you need a pick-me-up, why not head to r/Bald and scroll away? Got a kindness story to share?
