Baldcafe bro you pull the bald look off incredibly well!
I’m turning 18 this year and I thinking I’m balding. At the end of the day I end up seeing a decent clump of hair in the floor of where I study. Idk what to do 😐
EnderFlare Hey man, are you stressed? That could be a contributing factor to temporary hair loss
Bro i have the solution for you. Use 5% minoxidil foam twice a day and get a .50mm derma roller 2 times a week i swear it will regrow every hair....
Bro do hair transplant
For someone like me, it's not about going bald, it's about going bald at a younger age that hurts.
L coke Check out Kevin Mann channel guys. Don’t listen to BaldCafe you should fight it. First you start with Finasteride, NOT minoxidil
L coke I mean they are hair loss surgeons and work for the hair loss industry? Basically their whole practice depends on people trusting finasteride just saying.
That’s not to say that everyone or even most people who take finasteride will have issues but there is risks associated with it and everyone should do their own research and come to their own conclusions. And also obviously if you personally take finasteride then of course your gonna be heavily biased in favour of it cause you wouldn’t want to accept the fact that you are regularly taking a potentially dangerous drug on a daily basis?
Im also losing hair at just 17
Embrace the way your body is evolving, it will hurt you less than fighting against something you naturally don't have the control over it. If you can't grow a beard just don't, and if you are going bald, just shave it man and accept the way you are evolving. Self-confidence will make you suits it well, and it is true for everything ;) Charisma +++
@lo l you should not fear something natural, just accept it and let go with the flow of nature
I love how the guy always just sits there and listens to the people. Never talks over them like a lot of interviewers!
Appreciate this one thanks. I think have the conversation is one of the most important things we are doing here.
@@Baldcafe absolutely. Been really liking this page BTW. I'm only 22 and been receding since I was like 16, shaved my head at 20 with clippers, still haven't accepted it. Tried growing it out again and ended up looking like a combover😂😂😂 I shaved it with a wet razor for the first time yesterday and I'm loving it. I'm growing out the beard a bit too!
It's important to ask the right questions though. He is doing an interview, right?
His beard tells him not to
I think some interviewers interrupt people on purpose to manage and control time.
Started going bald at 18. Litterally wrecked my early 20s. I would wear a cap all day long which ironically just sped up the process. Girls would ask me out and I would refuse cause of fear of reaction when I would remove my ball cap.
I met my wife at 24 and had lost alot of hair by then, and she still found me good looking.
16 years later and now very comfortable with my baldness and blessed with a beautiful wife and awesome 10 year old boy who says I look like Homer Simpson.
I wish I meet someone like her. Cool story bro
Hence the dunkin...
I just wish iwas good looking
@@mrdepression8933 Bro you'd be surprised at how bathing daily and dressing nice is half the battle.
You wear Cap all day.Sweat starts to accumulate in the hair and you have way more hairfall.
Damn he looks great! My boyfriend finally went for it during quarantine (he's 25) and the change in his confidence is amazing. His hair has been thinning since his teens, probably could've gone for the shave a couple years ago but held onto it for fear of how I would react. If you're in your early 20's and balding, but you're scared of how your girlfriend will react, sit and talk it out with them. If she reacts badly, time to shave anyway and find yourself a better woman! Women can lose their hair too, or hell anything can change with your appearance. If your partner would leave you because you have the balls to take control of your situation, they ain't it
I think a huge part of him shaving his head is you being supportive. He doesn't need to impress anybody because you are by his side and for that you are a great girlfriend.
Great woman you are. God bless u and your man :)
I don't know who you are but I love you
My girl friend left me after 6 years love story.. Once she noticed that my hair start to go bald.. And my hair line go up... 😔
You're so nice ♥️
This guy seems super chill. All the best for him he looks good bald!
thank you so much!
Not really!
Still got enough hair to keep for another couple of years really
Well i think he looks good anyway but when you decide to go bald so early I think you're a bit obsessed about your hair
Yeah, just looks more mature but it isnt to the point where it looks bad. He can still style it and make it decent with haircuts
wheatlj3 yes! People who are not balding don’t understand the constant obsession we balding guys have with our hair which takes away vital energy and time from things that really matter. Buzzing it off removes that from the equation and we can focus on more important things.
@@vladimirerfan7721 man i'm balding and I know it, so I'm not saying the guy in the video is wrong. I only wanted to point out that sometimes people think to be at a very bad stage in the balding even though they actually look fine. In this case going bald wasn't necessary, but if he feels more comfortable why not
Vladimir Erfan fair point, suppose if it’s taking so much time and energy then the clippers are the only way. Good thing for him he still really has options which is never a bad thing.
Why is baldness still impossible to cure? My heart is broken for those who go bald at their young age.
Transplant
Farouk it is shit
@@daijanomanen417 why?
All bullshit aside going bald is one hell of a character builder. No hearts need to break.
Vitamin deficiency
Also started losing my hair at 17. I was drawing and a friend said she could see my head through my hair. I went to the bathroom to check and saw what she meant. After that I was super conscious of my hair loss. I never wanted to stay under bright lights and never allowed no one to touch my hair. One day I was nagging my mum About consulting a dermatologist and she told me “people don’t mind a bald guy, but they can’t stand a guy obsessed with his hair”. That clicked right away, but I was still insecure. It was only after a break-up when I was also 22 I decided to shave my ever thinning hair. I had nothing to hide anymore. I looked ok and frankly, it made no difference. I’m 30 now and still shaving my head. I miss having a different hair cut, but other than that, my self esteem is higher than ever. In a way it taught me not to focus on the things I cannot change and instead focus on what I can improve.
I remember trying a new shirt on in a shop where they have all the mirrors around, and then that's the first time I noticed a balding crown and I felt like I could have cried that day
Well said
Did it effect you love life?
Mystical RSD not at all. Im sure there are girls that are put off by a bald head. But people have their preferences and you can’t please everyone, nor should you try to. I can tell you the I feel more attractive now than I did back when I had hair. Not because I’m bald, but because I grew and became more confident.
@@cesarsobreiro some of my mates are bald and have stunning women
I just shaved my head at 21 years old, my hair has been thinning since I was 18 and was starting to become noticable. In public I was constantly fixing my hair so that the thinning wouldn't show; Huge hit to my self confidence. I finally decided to embrace it now rather than live in shame for the next couple years. I have no facial hair but the confidence I have in myself makes up for it. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders (technically my scalp lol) and I'm free to become a new man and improve myself, focus on other things rather than vanity.
You could have held on for maybe even a few more years, it was okay. Still, you rock the bald look like a king.
Patrick Bateman
If Patrick Bateman was balding he’ll probably go crazy.
i shaved it at about the same stage as him i just didnt wanna be the guy who holds on to a tiny bit of hair in a few years, might aswell shave it whilst it still feels and looks like a choice 😂
Thats it, its comming off tomorrow. Wish me luck lads
Go for it Lars 🤝 you got this
How did it turn out mate?
@@GabrielOlausson im extremly happy that i did it. It turned out great and i dont have to hide it anymore so it feels good :)
Good for you man! Happy to hear it
Letssss goooo. Bald Cafe is a living legenddddd
I can relate to this. I started having receding hairline at 19. Everyone tried to make me feel better by saying “you just have a high forehead”. Shortly after I realized my forehead was turning into a five head.
😂😂😂
@@donpeace894 😂🤣🤣
Lmao!
@@cloudyns 😂🤣😂
@@donpeace894 Happy New year!
Having hair is seen as a sign of youth and I think that’s the problem.
Youthfulness, beauty, good self esteem, high quality of life...
BLCKnight24Plays yeah that’s a huge problem for men I’m bald now and I feel better now than ever!
@@ayomayonnaise8886 Everyone is different man it depends on the facial contours. My facial contours SCREAM that I need a full on hair on my head I dont know about you
The problem is I think there is no such thing as genes it’s just people aren’t talking care of their hair in the right way by providing it with nutrition or brushing it and cleaning it and they only try to do something when it looks bad Or people are over do it when trying to keep hair healthy like when some people wash their hair once a day
YOUNG 3KG'S seriously 😒 there is a link between genetics and hair loss if your dad is bald your most likely to go bald too do your research
He's looks badass with the shaved head.
thank you, you do too!
@@joshiheuberger2639 Oh, Thanks Bro! Keep it smooth Joshi !
@@joshiheuberger2639 dude you look way better with no hair. Holly fuck I did not expect it to look that great 👍
The guy still genuinely looks good I love seeing these videos makes me feel that its ok
thank you so much! Go for it, you won´t regret it!
First time buzzing his head and he goes straight for the Skull Shaver! What a boss.
I'm 24 going bald, it started 4 years back & finally i have shaved my head. Now I'm currently watching some more motivating vids to constantly push me away from the awkward look that society & family makes on me❤️
I’m not even balding why am I watching this
TH-cams giving you a sign
Cuz you are 21 and half of the men in your family are bald making you scared as shit?
Knock on wood
Same here
U are watching this to feel better about yourself ;)
Shaving your head when you’ve got a decent beard is way easier than when your beard is not full.
Maxime Blotin johnny sins😉😉😉
im asian, i dont even have a beard
Not really. You can go for Van Dyke and Imperial styles too. I rocked a Sparrow with a Manchu style mustache while my head was shaven and it wasn't bad.
No beard and skinny af 🙂
I'm going bald and I have 0 beard and I'm 24, my dad Is beardless and bald too it's genetic
I did it today! Thanks for the courage man, I saw all your videos last night and my confidence level went through the roof! I got nothing but good comments in my social media. You are a difference maker brother, God bless you.
Cesar Chavez yes Cesar! Good on you brother and well done for putting it out there straight away for the positivity to roll in. Time to let balding not even be a thing in your life. Go forward and don’t stop ✊
I went bald at 22 years old and it honestly didn't feel that bad to me, everyone else looked at me and thought I looked weird but to me I saw a better man. I thought I looked better bald than having a receding hairline with super thin hair and it definitely boosted my confidence. Don't worry about going bald if you think it'll help yourself, I kept tossing the idea of being bald to the side but once I did it it helped me so much
Going bald at age 21 destroyed my 20’s and 30’s. My two prime decades. Now I’m in my 40’s, and even though it’s more ‘acceptable’ at this age, I will never ever get back those prime years. Its absolutely devastating to young men when dating
Dating in my 20s wasn't that great even with hair.
I don’t really think us girls look at bald guys any different as long as you’re comfortable and confident with it! I’m sure there was lots of good times in your 20s and 30s too. Stay positive! 💕
Same, started in my early 20s, f you god
@@jordihull maybe you don’t but you don’t speak for 99.9999% of who do give a damn and only go for bald men if they have money, social status but certainly never for their looks!
Same, although it hit me in my early 30s, I’m now in my early 40s and I still feel crap now as the first day when I realised I’m balding! I don’t think one truly gets over it!
Losing my hair at 19 years old. I thought I had great hair until I decided to join the army and they buzzed it! It’s been such a stress since I first noticed it and I’m so glad this video showed up in my recommendations. I still have enough to keep mine for now but this video has made coming to terms with my hair loss much a much easier thing. Thank you guys
He’s pretty good looking, it won’t be a big problem even if he’s bald
He´s VERY good looking! :D
The confidence he shows at the end is awesome who needs hair he is well groomed and looks cool AF
Who needs hair? The most common phrase used exclusively by a bald dude!
@@moogiebowser4919 I think everyone should be comfortable in their own skin in a pandemic hair is the least of my worries at the moment ,however balding and all things balding is an obsession of mine I used to have a 1 guard all over in my mid teens so I’m not afraid of being bald
Props to this guy. 19 years old, almost 20, starting to lose my hair. Receding hairline, extremely thin hair in the crown, family history of it. Props to this dude, it takes a bold person to shave their head! Might do it myself some day. Respect
I'm in the EXACT same spot as you (and same age), just wanted to let you know that you're not alone ✊🏼
U have a beard?
@@antonioaq859 Thank you, brother! Appreciate your reply :)
@@aidensilvia7687 Unfortunately I cannot grow one very well! A whole bunch of patches here are there. My dad told me he went through the same thing though, so eventually I will likely be able too as well lol
This is a revolution. Youre doing a great thing man.
Beard and bald is a match made in heaven.
He went from college student to CEO
@Super Cool not when you meet a bunch of teenagers down a dark ally and look like a badass with a bald head
Elon Musk the richest man alive went from CEO to college student, se people lack the decipline and tackle hair loss.
LOOOOL FR
Bro you look great!!! Glad you made the move. All the best 👊👊
thank you so much man!
You look good bro the shaved head fits you
"This is gonna look interesting" is the appropriate statement.
Dude I admirate your videos because go back the security in some man's that feel depressed for a thing so stereotypical and so less important like the hair, good job and keep doing this videos, from Chile ! :)
I'm 20, not even going bald or anything, but I feel the emotion and relief. I love this channel.
So well put when he said "you'll torture yourself". Trying to conceal baldness is self-torture, plain and simple.
It always looks better than our worst fears. The freedom is always a great release.
true words!
Hey you watch a lot of these vids just like me. They’re pretty inspiring aren’t they
j0nnyism yes they are and it’s nice to know you are not alone in the struggle.
Been going bald since I was 17 or so and now I'm 42 so been a long time coming.. Can't keep this up! So I also took this lock down situation to take the plunge and shave off, been a little under a week and starting to look normal to me now, so happy I did it. Thanks to your channel over the last few weeks has changed my life I guess so thanks and keep it up 👍
Wow long time.. can I ask if u used any treatments ? And which nw you are right now?
Two things:
1. He could have went on with that amount of hair for a couple of years.
2. If you have above average looks and a fantastic beard, going bald isn't such a problem for you.
I mean this with no offense, this guy should be proud with what he's done.
people act like their hair is everything. It doesn't mean shit if you are bald if you are proud of yourself.
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
And working for your dad is just a drag
Or just try out finasteride for free and see where it gets you. Works extremely well for me. I'm the only man in my family who still has a full head of hair with no signs of balding
@@gilfhunter42069 why did you start taking finesteride if you have 0 signs of hairloss??
Schizophrenia sucks Finasteride is safe. It blunts DHT which is a poor hormone anyways in adult males. I’m on finasteride and minoxidil and I’m seeing great progress. My hairloss isn’t even that bad like NW 1.5 and I’m 23 but getting on it early so I can keep my hair :)
I love this channel man I can relate to everyone. I noticed I was balding in high school, and slowly went bald and when I turned 26 I got sick and tired and just shaved that shit. I highly encourage men going bald to just run towards it and shave it!!! There’s no running from it embrace it, laugh at it and accept it.
This channel has a very supporting function for men !
i have overly thick and curly hair. i need to start being more grateful. i hope everyone going through this know that hair doesn’t matter. even with my hair i’m still insecure about something else about me. just be confident being yourself and rock a awesome beard if you can 💯
Yes of course hair doesn't matter. Looks doesn't matter money doesn't matter and so on.
If any of you guys on here are young, 17-25. Don't give up. There are so many options. Even if you can't see your hair right now, there are still fibers down under there that are clinging on to life, they will die if you don't do anything. I had a mature hairline ever since I was in middle school and I hated it, I'm gonna get it done, my doctor says I haven't started balding yet, but I know I will because of genetics. I'm 17 right now, and I am planning to straighten out my widows peak, and then use minoxidil to prevent further hair loss until the drug is no longer effective. You don't have to take finasteride at such a young age, your hair follicles are still alive, they're just small.
Joshi rocked it. Just took the plunge and buzzed mine off two days ago. Thanks to this channel for the inspo 💪🏻
Always blows my mind when these lads feel the need to shave it so soon. I started balding at 17 as well and by 22 it looked like a bunch of loose twigs and sticks up there lol. The body dysmorphia that develops for us all is sad. But I can't help but think man, if they think THEIRS looks bad, they should've seen mine
It's a positive thing that they're taking control of it and not hanging on to it for dear life
This channel makes me feel so much better.
Incredibly handsome new look. As always, a great decision!
thank you!!
@@joshiheuberger2639 You're welcome...the compliment was sincere.
Im 23 and noticing some thinning, nothing super drastic and it might just be my hairline "maturing" but these videos have helped so much with anxiety. Im not nervous if it comes to the point that I need to shave my head. Decided to grow my hair out for the next year or so just incase its my last oppertunity. If it is, I will welcome the shaved head with open arms now!
2 years pn where are we at
@@feedapony I grew out my hair for 2 years, got it cut short (not shaved, just a "normal" guys cut, short at back and sides and a little longer on top) just last month and expected the long hair to have masked some thinning and having short hair would make it a lot more obvious, but I don't think it has! Looked way better than I expected. My problem areas are my temples and widows peak, it doesn't seem to have gotten worse which is great.
I do definitely think my hairline was just maturing in my early 20's, it doesn't look different to 2 years ago. I don't think im progressively balding. I recently seen some photos when I was 17-19 and I can see the start of my temples thinning but overall it largely looks the same. I think I just had a scare, few of my friends are starting to bald and noticed a few problem areas of my own and assumed the worst.
I don't take anything for my hair like Rogaine etc either, just a good diet and vitamins!
Btw once again for spreading the message we are not alone and that everyone can embrace this change.
Sir you look good bald
Sebastian thank you ! Sadly there is no fighting your genetics I started thinning as soon as I hit puberty and struggled with it for many years. Once you reach acceptance the sense of freedom is truly life changing.
Dude is such a good interviewer, gifted listener.
Thank you
I'm 17 right now I started losing my hair at 16, I'm also thinking of using minoxidil to keep it a while longer, because I like my hair its a nice golden blond lol. But honestly this was a good thing, from watching channels like this ( I love your channel man) I actually have more confidence than I had before. It kind of forced me out of my insecurities and I'm planning to buzz it after a year of growth next month just to see where its at, and I'm comfortable with losing it. I just wanna keep it for a little longer if I can, more so as an accessory I guess than a feature I don't so much think of it as a part of me anymore. ( I don't expect to keep it for to long I didn't get good hair genes that's fine though.)
Just get a hair transplant
Minoxodil worked for me
How much hair do you loose in a day ?
@@MirageKSA hair transplant at 17? One where the money coming from 2 more hair will fall before he's even 21
What a cool guy. Shaved head looks good, your attitude is excellent
Great podcast man, I commend you. You look great with the buzzed head! For all the guys on this channel, if your significant other doesn’t want to be with you because of hair loss, then you shouldn’t be with them because they aren’t with you for the right reasons in the first place. We are so much more than just our hair. It takes a real man to embrace their genes and own it! Peace and love brothers!
I’m 53 and have been balding for 15 years. Shaved down to fuzz 12 years ago and watch these videos for comfort.
Bless u Mr bald Cafe ur really being soo supportive to all these men who are fighting this issue
The struggle is so real
Feels so good to see someone whoz actually listening to these men who are looking for some sort of emotional support
Respect from India 🇮🇳🙌
I was dealing with my hair getting thin and I’ve been watching your videos, so I decided to shave it and I love it. Thanks
Y'all just embrace it, take the plunge. Shave your head. I didn't wanna keep using products to try to hold on. Soo much wasted energy, anxiety, and worry. When you shave I promise you will feel more confident. It will be a rocky road obviously, but just take the jump. Trust you'll feel great. You'll have more true confidence. Not that fake stuff.
Thank you all for the nice comments and your encouraging words! I just wanted to make a few things more clear than I may have in the video:
In the end, everyone has got to decide for himself what to do. I currently don´t have the money for a hair transplant or hair piece and I don´t want to risk possible side effects of Finasteride (although I´m well aware that not all Finasteride users experience negative side effects and that results can be amazing). Minoxidil doesn´t work that well anymore for me so I´m not going to keep using it. I´m not saying I will never try to give other options a shot but for now I´m okay with a bald head. May consider to get a hair piece at some point but honestly, that would be a lot of money, effort and it still wouldn´t be "real", if you know what I mean. I wanted to try out the big step first and see how it really feels like to be bald. And it´s half as bad as I expected it to be;) A healthy mindset just requires the step out of the comfort zone sometimes.
And for the people who say that I still have plenty of hair: I agree! I could have had my hair for a few more years and just continue using Minox and Hair Fibre. But watching the hair get thinner and thinner with every day was painful and the amount of hair fibre and Minoxidil I put on every day was just ridiculous. Also my mindset became more and more destructive and I felt trapped. After having shaved my head I felt a relieve. Maybe some of you can relate to that.
I´ll explain in part 2 how the first week after the shave felt like and what I think about it. The talk with Harry was amazing, thank you again for that!:D
Cheers guys!
Just wanted to say you look great and your amazing beard really helps the look!
@@Matowner10 thank you!!
You look fine bald. But regardless, your comment about fibers blowing off if it's windy, I don't understand. Do you not use hair spray after or a pomade(before) putting them in? They absolutely shouldn't go anywhere if you do one of those, and only rain should be a concern.
@Sharnie Gujjar haha thank you so much!
@@Orlyy Yes I used both, pomade and the locking spray. I don´t know where you live, but in windy Edinburgh the wind made the fibre fly away haha. But yes, rain certainly was the main enemy.
"You just gotta say good bye"
I felt that.
I looked up “how to fix a bowlcut” out of curiosity and now youtube is recommending me these videos
Exactly, youtube is telling you yo shave it
@@miserquemiguel2144 This is the way
I’m surprised you were brave enough to do this at your age, but the pandemic has given us all more self confidence in taking charge of our hair. You do look great! Good for you!
Mate u look far better bald, strongly Considering shaving my head now
I think he could've still rocked that hair for five more years.
true
he could grow hair long and do a man bun to cover the less hairy part
No. You must be fooling yourself as well
@@joetspaulding how is it fooling its called hair styling
He should get a hairline tattoo
Same I started balding at 18 from having very thick curly jet black hair but at 22 I decided to shave my head, it’s empowering once you do it definitely feels like a dive off the deep end but in reality it’s your jump that teaches you to fly.
Man, thank you for creating this channel. Wish you all the best
Btw. Minox didn't stop working or anything. The hairloss just got way stronger, means that he is losing more hair then gaining new ones.
You look fantastic without hair ,personally I think a shaved head w facial hair is extremely attractive.Dont doubt yourself,your swag just doubled.
thank you!:)
For all of you saying he could've gone for another few years with the existing amount if hair - what's the point of that? Why would he do this to himself, knowing he will be forced to look at himself gradually loosing hair? I think going cold turkey and doing it once is better than to suffer silently over the years. Good for you, man!
Shaving your head constantly takes a lot of work and many balding people still let it go without needing to shave it. Plenty of people who are balding rock that shit without shaving it. Shaving your head only adds confidence if you are not confident with accepting your hair loss. I’m severely balding but rock it. Fortunately, I ran into some money and now can get a HT. If I didn’t, I was going to just let it go naturally.
Great story. I'm not balding yet, but I have an irrational fear of it. Your videos help me relate and reduce my anxiety. Thank you
Thanks to inspirational videos like this I took the plunge yesterday and shaved it all off after being unhappy and self conscious for years. Feeling great now and some positive comments from others.
I'm not balding but TH-cam took me to this channel I think bald with the beard looks dope tbh!
I love how he just went for it and just started buzzing lol
I started see my hair loss at 18-19 and I tried my best to deal with it and try all kinds of crap to help save what I had left. I’d get made fun of a lot and I won’t lie. It got to me and my confidence dropped to zero. I’d put up with it for about three or four year’s combing it to the side and using minoxidil. Till one day after constant banter from multiple people I said screw it and knock it all off. One of the best decisions I’d made in my life. I love ur vids man and keep them coming bro. Your helping our bald brothers deal with this life changing moment. Much love from from the States.
Thank you for this - it has really helped. I have just accepted that I am balding and made the decision to shave my hair off . It was hard to do but now feel liberated . Your vids have helped me looking for the best razor moving forward. Thanks buddy
It’s like everyone that baldcafe brings on here looks good bald afterwards
What an admirable attitude, especially from a younger man, as it must be harder than ever to lose your hair at this age. I'm so glad you went for it, rather than hairpiece, you would just be a slave to that for years. You look great bald, enjoy and embrace the freedom shaving has given you - well done !! 😊
I’m facing a very similar problem. Started balding at 18 (hair loss and bald spots) and getting progressively worse up until today (age 21). I’ve had enough of the hair falling out and looking disheveled. My beard is becoming more fuller, so I think all the hair on my head is falling onto my beard lol. Been on the fence about shaving my head completely, but I’m just gonna do it and see how it goes. My 22nd is coming up in 2 months but I’m gonna wait until after the quarantine to get a haircut. Most guys look a lot more attractive with a cue ball so it couldn’t hurt to try.
What did you do mate
Wish I had discovered this channel when I was in the grips of the anxiety caused by losing my Barnet.The day I shaved my head was a total game changer and release from all the things this lad is talking about which I suspect most of us have been through
Kudos to you man. Thanks for watching and commenting. It all helps ✊
He still has hair! He's balding a tiny bit but he can still rock his hairline still. My man was tripping over nothing.
Right dude, mine pretty close to his and I rock that shit. I'm 23. My times coming but there's still some left. Not gonna lie this video had me running back and forth to my bathroom mirror 🤣
@@Dyl_Cam Finasteride and/or hair transplants can cover you for your entire life if your genetics aren't trash. Hair transplants can do it even with wacky genetics if you'll have the bags for it at that age.

My dad has thinning like his and he's in his 60s but its been like that for a long time. It depends on the progression. Sometimes you get thinning early and it might take a long time to progress whereas others might get it a bit later and lose it all within a few years. Individual differences. But if like he says is losing hair by the handful then maybe he isn't so lucky.
Yea. It wasn't too bad. I'll rather have that then a way backup hairline. I started to losing hair around 27. Not too much.
Love this. Good for you, man!
You rock the bald look watching this during Corona day's am gonna rock this now .
oh , interview me balding since 16 now 21
You have a head full of hair
@@Dudeli lol
The worst thing is ,going bald is not because of his fault it's because of genetics😖😖😖😖
Me looking at my dad.... he's bald
There are lots of factors. It's not 100%, but you're more likely to be bald if you're mothers side of the family has balding in it. You're dad is not a good gauge.
I think there is no such thing as genes it’s just people aren’t talking care of their hair in the right way by providing it with nutrition or brushing it and cleaning it and they only try to do something when it looks bad Or people are over do it when trying to keep hair healthy like when some people wash their hair once a day.
@@young3kgs260 where the heck did you hear that? You can go bald because of genetics. There's plenty of science backing this.
@@ScantaniouslyCombust that’s all lies it’s like how some people says being gay is genetics. They just try make you feel good about being irresponsible when it comes to maintaining your hair. The don’t believe in studies the best way to research is by experimenting yourself.
YOUNG 3KG'S this is one of the dumbest, most inaccurate comments out there. You need to educate yourself on genealogy, biology, and sexuality. What an embarrassment.
I just started balding at 18 and im already worse than he was. Planning on shaving before 20. Life can be unfair, genetics are everything
I’ve been watching these videos and haven’t seen a single person that didn’t look better after shaving it all off!
Agreed! I think it’s always better to embrace it. Builds your confidence up and gives you control over the situation, which makes you more attractive whether the buzz looks amazing or not.
I wanted to cry for Josh. I cannot imagine how horrible he felt going bald when he wasn't even a full grown man yet. Congratulations on the brave jump to shaving your head.
You look nice with the beard and the barely there low low cut (idk if I'm saying that right sorry)
I feel for men who have to deal with this. I don't know if we women ever have this particular struggle (idk much about female baldness) but truly feel for all the men, especially the really young ones who have to battle this❤️
Many people dont realise the stress and dread of balding. It is horrible and hits your self esteem very hard. I had major depression over it. I shaved my head and while I still prefer myself with hair, it's ok to be buzzed.
Cope
bro i’m 17 and have the same problem. a week ago i shaved off all my hair for the first time in my life to just overcome all my insecurities but now it started growing again and i’m about to go bald again and i’m so depressed i lost all my confidence.. i tried to discuss it with my father but he told me that i act like a female
He looks more masculine, experienced and confident now, 👏👏
Im 25 now. I embraced baldness at 23 that to in India where being bald means being different which suck btw but my experience is pretty amezing and satisfying so far. Dont torture yourself just embrace whatever you have and accept yourself coz nobody else give a shit about how you look. Its all about being comfortable in your skin
20 here and from India too. Started loosing when I was 18. I am entering college in next two months and don't have enough confidence as I was having in junior college. Stopped posting or you can say using social media because I know I don't look that good now with big forehead and receding hairline. With the old posts of mine I got some mutual girls to talked but I avoided them. There was this one girl who is friend with one of my friend I had huge crush on her and when she got to know about that. She texted me, we started talking. One regular day she said you look nice and said your feed is decent and those words from her gave me a big anxiety because I know I am not same. I started avoiding her and eventually I deactivated my account because I didn't want those anxious feelings. I figured it out that achieving my goal is only thing that can boost my confidence. Started preparing hear hard for my competitive exam thag I really forgot that I am even loosing hair. Boom now I am getting a college and this free period I again getting bit conscious about my hair loss. I still have good amount but I can't style my hair like I used to before because my forehead looks big that way. Though I am not much tensed about it but again here in India being bald is a big issue. Let the girls alone even men makes fun sometimes. Many don't prefer marrying a bald guy. I hope our society apni society bhi intni open hoti that we could shave it and accept it rather than stressing about it.
@@saif.less. hey bro. Whatever u r going through happened with most of us. Dont let it rattle ur confidence. Im an indian to i can feel wht u r going through. People can be mean at times but if i hv to giv u advice mine would be to shave ur head completely or trim ur head completely. I still hv 70% of my hailine but its tht 30% which stings. People often use to point out tht 30% nd gave me 1000s of tips fr hair growth which was very irritating. Whn i decided to trim my hair off it was a big change jst after a month i accepted my new look nd so does people around me. Nt a single frnd ever sd anything bad abt my looks or made fun of me (If ur frnds does tht to u thn u need new frnds).
Just like u i was very down on myself my confidence was shattered but i regained it slowly and stedely over time. I used to be very popular wid girls as a teenagers had many gfs and affairs even in my early 20s but loosing hair pushed me towards depression. I lost my confidence even i started avoiding grls evn those who were interested in me. Its been yrs now i hv been triming my hair almost every week. People adore my look. I look more manly nd kinda rich because of my bald look. In last 1 yr many women hv shown thr interest in me. Even though i lost my game nd forgot who to flirt coz of depressiom period but they initiated it and flirted with me which gave solid boost to my confidence. Beleive me bro i dated a women who was contender to miss india and she approached me. I aint tht handsome but some people like quite and depressed typ 😂 tht wrked in my favour i guess as i nvr showed any interest in her even whn othrs were drooling fr her.
Bhai its all abt mind set. Right now i h v been wrkingout fr last 6 mnths nd gained good muscles. I hv nvr felt better abt my body. Dnt think tht u hv to achive something drastic jst to overcome ur baldness or else u would remain depress. Stop hiding ur head grow a beard if u can or a mustache gain muscles wear good clothes get a tattoo or do whatever fits u. If u hide it will represent ur insecurity if u come out wid it it will show ur confidence....hope i was able to help u out
@@karansharma9790 got it, sir. I have thought of shaving it off but it's still holds good volume. I have been working out from the the last 2 months, I am fucking skinny...during my preparation year I literally didn't care about my self. I have the confidence to walk with a bald head and people around are nice too but it breaks me when I meet someone after long period and they say bhai kya hogya baalon ko. Anyway I'll shave it off the right time.. I can still easily go 2 more years with this much amount. And thanks for the words bhai, felt great reading them. Thanks, king.
Looks amazing mate. Never change.
I first noticed at 16 a hole in my beautiful black hair. At 18 my friends started noticing it. At that point I shaved the first time. It was a success, they liked me . Since I was 23 I have always been bald. Now I am 42 years old, married with two children. I can say from personal experience that the problem is in our heads. If you are cool with hair,you will also be cool bald.
My girlfriend cried when i shaved my head i couldn't take it anymore balding and what she said will live with me forever your hair was everything you are.... unbelievable loss my job not too long after she broke up with me after 6 and half years seeing these stories help still single btw
Do a hair transpl and u get ur hair back for ur hole lifr
@@sniperonlycodetz8716 there is not enough hair at the back of my head to fill the top 🙃 cheers big ears
How are you doing now bro
@@sstff6771 a lot better but im still not where i want to be just saw my ex a few days ago toxic asf it was a blessing in disguise
I can imagine not too many men are insecure going bald at 60, but I can empathize it would hurt a man or woman's self confidence going bald at a young age especially given things like social media
It ends dating life. Anybody saying otherwise are on cope mode.
@@siemniak But what about the rock? and vin diesel! They do so fine bald ! XD
When he shaved his head, he basically turned into Simon Whistler. All he needs is a pair of glasses and it'd be spot on. I'm surprised he didn't end it by saying "This video is brought to you by Squarespace!"
Lol 😂 haha he should've said that
You guys who shave your head I just want you to know it really does make your features pop, especially your eyes, very cool.
I know this is not related to hair loss or shaving your head. My girlfriend just broke up with me 3 days ago during this Coronavirus crisis even though we have been dating for 2 and a half years. We were on and off multiple times and we have tried our best to work it out. But somehow just result in the same place which is she dumping me again. I have my part to be blamed on. Before watching this video, I have watched many videos across TH-cam on how to deal with a break up but all of them don’t seem to work. Until I see this video, the concept of letting go of what is not meant to stay from the gentleman in the clip truly touched my heart. Now that I see things more clear and I know that we are not compatible, also not meant for each other and I need to let go of her so that I can get back on track to take care of my broken heart and soul. Thanks for the video! 🙏
It will not be easy letting go, but speaking from experience an on and off relationship is in many ways toxic. You will certanily remember her and the moments you had with her even 20 years from now but as soon as your feelings fade the absence of her will not bring u sadness. One way or another you will have your family, new friends and potential lovers you'll meet as the years go by.
Diji I do feel like for us men, we never moved from our ex. It’s more like we get to manage our grief and sadness as time passes. Would you like to share some of your personal experiences with break up? I would like to hear how you went through it and did you have any relationship that were on and off like me?
I’ve done two hair transplants, three sessions of SMP, daily minoxidil and finasterade, DHT blocking shampoos and conditioners, daily supplements.
I’ll be having PRP, a third transplant with body hair as well and continue with further SMP.
It’s definitely a journey not a destination.
Did you find good result?
There's nothing really wrong with being bald, he looks good with it
The guy looked amazing before, and even better afterwards.
I hope the lifted weight of his hair anxiety makes him tackle life with renewed vigor.
Heyy man. This thing was a much needed for me. I am 22 and I'm balding too. Now I just shave my head and grew my beard as my new look.
