For those concerned about the minox/ED etc that clearly haven’t watched the whole interview I’ll draw your attention to the time 09:50 - 10:35 The point made was not “Solely taking minix 100% gave me ED” the point being made is that all things combined had me in my head so can’t perform like that etc. This is actually one of my biggest criticisms of taking the meds. The very nature of what you are doing daily DOES keep hair loss on your mind to varying degrees. In stronger words also I remind you this isn’t a channel dedicated to anti intervention or whatever you want to call it. Honestly do what you want to do, do what you need to do based on your own world view/research etc. this channel promotes guys finally accepting it and it champions that path. Everyone’s journey to the point where they seek that path is different and the interviews reflect that. People who have done everything under the sun to try prevent hair loss to those who just rode the natural wave every guys point of view”I’ve had enough of this” is different.
Minoxidil can cause ED? Didn't know that. Me being a divorced guy from a very horrible woman I think I would be ok with that side effect these days. It'll save me heartache and my bank account etc. Lol
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 No it doesn't, losing your hair can if you get in your head about it. The nocebo effect could as well
@@Jbrimbelibap losing your hair can cause ED?
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Depends how you respond to it, I got a friend for whom it's nothing. Personally I would also just shave it if I didn't go for the treatment route, and not think twice
@@Jbrimbelibap I think most of you have never been married to a woman who drains your bank accounts and cheats when she finds a guy she thinks has more money. If you did ED would be welcome. 😂
What the fuck is up with the negative comments, this guy looks great bald
If people ever think you are criticizing their choices or their hope of saving (in this case it seems to be people assuming the video says taking minoxidil 100% gives you ED) then the result is a negative reaction it seems. I’ve added a pinned time stamp as I think a lot of the comments were reactionary having not actually watched the whole interview.
@@Baldcafe lol. You'll have to make a follow up video about the real causes of ED to quell the fear and panic. 😂
🔥
I don't see too may negative comments
wow man you made the right decision , you look more macho too i took the plunge 10 years ago stayed bald every since
He may be macho, but having hair makes you look handsome
@@Jacob-nu4ndhaving no hair makes you handsome too. Women don’t care even close to as much as you do
@@Jacks-tj9mb maybe old women but young chicks don’t wanna date a dude that’s balding like their dad
@@Jacob-nu4nd Yeah buddy i also agree ,but if you're losing your hair some guys look more macho & handsome bald
@@adrianchappell5139 macho? Lol
“You got two hairlines!”
😂😂😂
🔥
Testing
Awesome new look! Much better than the mop top. Congrats on the transformation.
🔥
Looking solid my man!
🔥
This helps a lot. I’m still in the buzzcut phase cuz im 24 and still struggling to let it go. These videos bring me closer and closer to the clean shave. 🙏🏾
Nothing wrong with the buzzcut phase. I think the horseshoe short cut looks pretty sweet to. You have a little coverage and some protection from uv rays. It's a win win.
I was in the buzz for awhile too. Start googling famous actors/models with the bald like me & Harry.
It will make the razor phase easier 💯🔥
same im 24 too and rocking the buzzcut but my sides go back quite a bit , just stopped fin last week thinking of going topical min
@@jake_runs_the_world the minoxidil will open your follicles and each individual hair will get thicker. Fibestride will stop the hair loss. If you just take minoxidil it won't halt future hair loss. The combo of both drugs works best.
u rock the bald look dude !!
🔥
You look great rocking a shaved head man.
It’s awesome you sharing your story.
I need to wear a hat over my wedding tackle.
🔥
Good video, good luck to him. No more worrying about hair, plus it suits him! best thing i did was shaving my hair. I did get SMP and i still love it 6 years later!
🔥
Looks great man. Really brave making those ED comments too - if you can do that, you're well on the way to a better approach to hair loss. Top man.
🔥
Baldcafe inspired me to buzzcut my hair. And im not even balding. The feeling of not caring of styling my hair each morning is a great feeling🙏
A buzzcut is totally different and you know it.Youre obviously bragging. A lot of guys here are still nervous about their balding. You're quietly bragging that you aren't balding and got a buzzcut. Come on man. Who are you kidding? I think you know exactly what you are up to. Smh
🔥
Still haven't responded yet. So I was 100% correct about you. Lol
Looks great! 👊🏻
🔥
Bro just want to say you’re channel gave me to courage to shave my head I been losing my hair for long time and today I shaved it all off and I feel better .thank you for the motivation
🔥
so like my hair thinned and i like totalllyyyyyy shaved my head anddddd whoaaaa ya i did it man i got a haircut man..... well buddy bravo you are a soldier send this man a medal asap!..... ???????!!!!
Are you ok?
@@Baldcafe Im okay. are you ok after your first haircut?
You look awesome without hair! You're a good looking dude... You made the right choice!
🔥
Don’t listen to the negative comments. The important thing is that not only the new look looks great, but that you feel great. Good job on the plunge.
🔥
just shaved my hair off today
🔥
He has a really cool personality. He’d be a cool TH-camr or TikToker
The kind of stress this guy will ED.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🔥
Looking good bro
🔥💯
The best thing for guys that shave and/or buzz - they just look more comfortable. I think this is what is most important. Some guys actually rock av receding hair line, but mostly because: they’re comfortable.
You just accept that you’re no longer be young and handsome
@@Jacob-nu4nd You’ll become a man, one day.
🔥
@@Jacob-nu4nd well just because someone's losing their hair doesn't mean they aren't young or handsome anymore. You do realize that the peak years for losing your hair is 20s and 39s. It's slows down by your 40s and a whole lot by your 50s and beyond. As you get older dht decreases naturally in your body.
Bald is Beatiful get Brave Get Shaved
Most people in retirement homes are bald. No one says they’re beautiful.
@@Jacob-nu4ndreplying to ANOTHER one of your negative replies on this video. Your insecurity is leaking out, get that fixed brother
💯🔥💪🏼
Im now 59 but ive been shaving my head when i was in my 20s ever since i was in the army and all i can say is its cheaper to shave and it looks and feels awesome
💯🤝
Yes, I certainly do apply sunscreen when necessary and also use my sun hat which has spf built into it.
💯🔥
but he has dark hair, thick eye brows. a beard. for some people bald just looks worse I suppose
You have a great listener base baldcafe,please save my life and others too by making a video on this topic,this is really really depressing and suicid@l please help,i see you as a elder brother.
When I get my head shaved at the barbers, I ask the barber at the end to apply the most shiniest moisturiser all over my dome so I have the most fantastic shine in the sun when I walk out of the barbershop. Being old fashioned, I wish barbers would wear a shirt and tie as you go to them to be smartened up yourself.
Watch for that skin cancer. I hope you asked for a uv protection moisturizer.
💯🔥
Yes stressing out over baldness can give you ED, shave your head guys your women will thank you for it.
I am shocked by how much the average guy cares about this.
If it doesn't happen to you it's hard to understand. It would be better for everyone if there was a choice.
@@NiMo5048 Hi thanks for the comment. I am inclined to agree with you.
💯🔥
Minoxidil has nothing to do with ED, that's Finasteride, and it's a rare side effect. That's the nocebo effect for you...
Also it needs to be applied on the scalp not the hair, and it doesn't stop hair loss at all. That's what finasteride is for. Minoxidil makes for thicker denser hair but you will 100% go bald on minoxidil alone
Anyway, I keep posting comments about these medication mistakes, although this is baldcafe and not haircafe, I feel like people should be informed in order to make their own decision.
I was waiting for someone to post this. Listen to the podcast properly especially the bit when we mention that when you are worried about your hair, worried about your girl seeing it, worried about keeping your hat on, worried the min isn’t working worried worried worried you can hardly expect to perform properly in the bedroom. No one said “as a 100% direct response to using minoxidil specifically I had ED”. Please listen 👍
@@Baldcafe He does also say that he'd stop treatment, it would improve in the bedroom, then think it wasn't the treatment, start again and the ed came back
Although I can't deny that always worrying about the hair, and hoping other people don't see it will cause ED
💯
@@JbrimbelibapI'm considering minoxidil. Where does it say you'll go bald after taking it by itself?
@@zohaibshinwari9481 Minoxidil does nothing to stop the hair loss process, which is driven by the hormone DHT. It's just a hair growth stimulant, that works everywhere there's hair
The first thing anyone looking to go the medication route should do is stop hair loss, for this you need to use finasteride. You should take both at once like I do, but if you're gonna start with one, start with finasteride
Anyone who thinks Minoxidil will stop their hair loss is deeply wrong, because it's just not the case.
Subscribe to Haircafe, he'll explain everything, especially if you fear taking finasteride
Dude, the full razor look with the chin strap is bad ass. I'm definitely going for the razor look when my beard fills in, im a late bloomer lol
🔥
You had ED because of psychological issues. If you think your partner thinks you are ugly and you constantly worry about your hair during Intercoirse it is hard to not have ED
Yes thats what he said 👍
Hello. Sorry for my english. I have been following your channel for now let s say for a long time. Recently I bought a leaf razor for shaving my head. I came from a gillette pro glide and no problems whatsoever with it. The first time that I shaved my head with the leaf I cut myself at least two times in the front and three or four times in the back of my head. One blade in the middle position and another one in top., the bottom one free. Do you have any suggest for me to shave? Now I am a little bit scared because I ve never cut myself and was very painful.
Thank you very much Harry.
With the Leaf I suggest upgrading the blades to something like Astra platinums or better. The minimum requirement for shaving cream/soap is basically don’t use foam most other things will work well. I use soap myself. But shaving foam or even gel that foams up isn’t great at all. Then I suggest starting by just shaving with the grain or at most across. As you get more experience etc you can venture towards shaving against the grain. Another tip, go slow when you start! These blades are sharp and it is a serious shaving machine which takes some more precise technique etc. once you invest that time you will have no worries and will save you lots of time and money going forward. Hope that helps.
@@Baldcafe I started with astra platinums as you say in your videos. Thank you, I think it would help. great channel and info. regards.
Hey harry! Do you have any tips for eyebrows, mines are really sparse and invisible from birth, im 16 years old, a guy and I would look better if i had thicker eyebrows, I want to grow them out naturally somehow instead of dying or like filling in my eyebrows with makeup
Zero tips for eyebrows other than dye mate sorry. I just can’t encourage you to put mascara or some other kind of makeup on them. Love yourself G, love it all. You’re a light color eyebrow king what’s wrong with that!? For real.
@@Baldcafe Thank you so much, I appreciate the kindness and yeah I will love it all and accept it, I watched your channel from a year ago and you taught me how to shave and clippers and stuff, your like a father figure to me. Have a nice day mate.
My hair went into full on recede mode in high school, I feel this guys pain but after a couple years into having no hair you wonder why you let it bother you.
💯
Rogaine can’t even give you ED. Get the facts right at least.
But he looks good bald with the beard
I think in rare cases it can as it can lower blood pressure in some men in certain situations. I think I heard Chris Hardwick refer to this vaguely one time. It def makes sense
Listen properly to the podcast
@@Baldcafe oh I listened to the whole video. ED seems to have come from anxiety in his case, but it wasn’t really clearly said. All I’m saying is Rogaine had nothing to do with it.
@@benmcnights1763 it’s topical not oral. There is no way that can happen. ED was more likely caused because of anxiety of partner seeing his balding scalp as he said.
Cool... I actually liked it with a buzz. Idk why your boy busted on you for that look - i think it looked sharp. It looks mature but in a good way not an old way. The M look was way better.... A bunch of people liked it but one person knocked it and you listened to HIM? Go back to the buzz. Either way its better. You look good bro!
🤝🔥
guys I am balding, I shaved it and shave it since 3 month and feel still total insecure, I see no girl have an interest on me, I dont know how to deal with that
Just be confident. Go on with your life and do your normal routine. It will happen naturally..
1. Reclaim your self esteem. 2. Eat right and hit the gym to get to around 12% body fat. 3. Join an online social skills course. 4. Elevate your communication skills. 5. Improve your wardrobe. 6. Work on your character. 7. Ensure that you are growing career wise. The end result will outshine 90% of the pretty boys.
1. Hop on finasteride or dutasteride
2. Minoxidil
3. Tretinoin
4. Microneedling
5. RU58841
6. Do this stack for 2-3 years and then get a hair transplant.
Don't lose your hair because you are too scared to hop on fin/dut.
just keep shaving it! If i'm being honest, i didn't feel secure the first 8 to 9 months with the bald look. But now almost a year in i don't think about it and i feel so free and confident! I hope you too can find this new found freedom and confidence with the shaved look!
All you have to do is take 1.5 mg of dutasteride and 5 Mg oral minoxidil daily, you’ll get all your hair back. That’s what worked for me
How old is this guy? I got that he started loosing hair at 22/23 ..but how old Is now? Anyway shave to 0 best solution ever..i know It sucks if u are 20ish..but Once u ll be 40 Is quite normal!
How many guys reach 40 with a head full of hair😅,? 2/3 outta 10?
Something I've heard is called the rule of decades. By the age of 40, 40% of men are balding. By 50, it is 50% etc. So it's not that bad. Also, much depends on the ethnicity, e.g. in China or Mexico, balding is quite rare.
My dad is 56, full head of hair, hoping to repeat him lol.

Hey baldcafe Can you please release a cure for post finasteride syndrome ?😭im suffering from 6 months man,this drug for hairloss is so widely marketed,im 17 and my life is kind of ruined, please cover this news🙏🏻
Im very sorry to hear this man. This is why I find I confusing when people try to say any sides aren’t real….???
@@Baldcafeside effects are real for this drug. Just that they are not common. Studies say 1 to 3%. The people who say side effects dont exist for the drug are the ones that dont have the side effects. Not very scientific.
@@Baldcafe idk why they do that man,it's mine life which is kind of ruined....and I want it back,I'll be doing some protocol of Ryan russo,he's a youtuber,i really want to reverse this,I can't suicidideww at 17 man
@@Baldcafe I always kind of hated your channel and balding guys before taking finasteride because I thought that bald=bad before fin,that's what the marketing companies and some influencers do,they manipulate,they play on people's insecurities....but now I know brother how lucky I was to have that masculanity of balding before fin😢I wish I never taken finasteride and embraced balding.
Girls as in young girls can care about hair, women dont care at all. Its normal to go bald women care more about being in healthy shape plus that is actually a beneift to your health. Shave it and workout out.
Looks like Reddit joined the chat. WTF?
🤣💯
Damn that's karma you made fun of bald people, suits you well man
Since when did rogain cause ED?
See my pinned comment
Looks better shaved, 👌👍
💯🔥
If women had to deal with balding like men did. They would have already came up with a cure
Well there are treatments. They'll at least keep your follicles from dying. Once the follicles close up and die no cure will help except a transplant..
They would’ve come up with a cure from the medieval times
Nah they could just wear a wig nobody would say a thing
No, not really. The real problem is that there is no business in a real cure.
💯
Man i'm annoyed with each time he said 'like', between every two word he uses this word
🔥
You need a beard to go bald. I can't grow one thus I can't shave
I disagree. Look at Harry, for example. Looks great without his big beard.
💯🔥
@@nickdottore who are you agreeing with? Just to be sure
@@newpersonatuni I like the contrast of a bigger beard to the ball head.
In your case, I would have to see what type of facial hair if any you have currently and see what we are working with.
I grew a beard from scratch (with very little hair) and still have it using the Rogaine/Derma-rolling & some beard oils.
@@nickdottore I gotta say there are a lot of people experiencing Ed with rogaine. I don't think it's worth it. I don't really have any to be honest. It grows in massively gappy and light.
Dutasteride could have saved him maybe
Fuck paying to be insecure
Saved me, along with oral minoxidil
@@Chris-bp3cw literally taking serious health risks for an insecurity
“Saved” come on guys! Shaking my head. Save yourself and stop submitting yourself to these medication companies. You don’t need saving. You just need to prove to yourself you can do anything you want regardless of the hair.
@@BaldcafeRight, no I understand. I meant that I saved my hair, not me as a person. I should have phrased it better. I completely agree that hair has no effect on what we can obtain in life. However, I can appreciate modern medicine if it can reverse something like male pattern baldness.
a bald guy with tattoos is scary and antisocial behavior
Maybe in some cultures
@@Jay-oh1li definitely in mine
What makes it antisocial? The bald or the tattoos?
@@Baldcafe both, it’s a dangerous combo
Judging other people based on their looks is scary and antisocial. Fuck off.
Keep coping, brother! 💀
I went straight to Turkey to fix mine 😂😂😂
How is it coping. Being bald is better than having a messed up hairline or excessive balding.
@@JesusIsGodInTheFlesh3 Agree. Hair transplant is the only way, otherwise forget about dating.
commenting rudely like this is the real cope LOL. Its clear you have no self esteem that you have to come be mean to people like this.
@@user_abuser98 I didn't get a hair transplant to get a date, I got it to fix my hair 😂 but I get the point you're making. Not really a concern of mine though haha
