You can tell on here who's either not Black or wasn't old enough in the 90's.

  • Michael Jordan (the OG baldie for the 90s and did it because he was balding lol)
  • Charles Barkley
  • Fab Five (they mimicked the rappers and had all the hoopers and kids doing it)
  • 2Pac (the bald head was one of signatures when he went Thug Life)
  • Onyx (people don't realize how influential they were to bald heads becoming the "it thing"
  • R. Kelly (did imo to look more like Aaron Hall and be "bold)
  • Tyson Beckford (rocked a baldie just to be different and it worked big to make him one of the first Black male supermodels with Ralph Lauren)
  • LL Cool J (Flavor In Ya Ear Remix was the first time many people saw him without a hat)

Heck y'all don't even remember this scene from Clueless that showed how much it became a fashion statement to all the "rebel" kids


Or this video where Cube and Dre both shaved their heads to be shocking

Young nigs definitely was rocking baldies voluntarily in the 90’s. Prodigy rocked the baldie in the Juvenile Hell days. The Fab 5 from Michigan too. The Youngstas rocked baldies and they were teenagers. Same with darkskinned dude from Kris Kross. It was mostly a grimey hood nikka look in the mid 90’s associated with army fatigues and Timbs. But also hella hooping nikkas rocked the baldie too.

is a receding hairline nor going bald?

These stans will never admit Pac was going bald until there's a pic of him with a full george jefferson. The goal posts move when it comes to him even though it was clear as day his hairline was receding with every passing year like many men. No one just gets a full blown baldie in one week, it takes years for many. Pac clearly saw the writing on the wall and decided to accept his fate early. Sure it may have been an acceptable style in the 90s but it doesnt mean he wasnt balding, that just made it easy for him to come home early instead of being in denial.


Same shyt they said about Floyd even after a picture of him with a pushed back line and a bald spot surfaced in 2011. Fast forward to 2021 and Floyd went and got a hair transplant and suddenly stopped getting a baldie "by choice". I wonder why:mjgrin:

It may seem crazy now but there was a time when the bald head on black men was in style. Michael Jordan made it popular to rock the baldie.


I never thought Pac lost his hair I just always assumed he was following an already popular trend
MJ was losing his hair too. I peeped a post game interview where his hair was thinning and I don’t think pippen was drafted yet

Exactly. That Clueless scene is literally the epitome of what we been talkin bout. nikkas have no idea what they talkin bout in here. Rockin a baldie back then was the thing to do to make u look more intimidating. Mad people was rocking it and didn’t have to. R Kelly is another great example. That nikka was bald the whole 90s and around the year 2000 decided he wanted to have braids.

What did u do about it

I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed medication called “Finastride.” it slows down the balding process but you have to take it everyday. Like I said you gotta catch it in time like I did. Don’t wait Until you hair is thinning to the point you see your scalp and waste thousand of dollars on hair transplant. hair transplant look goofy as hell might as well shave your head.
