Body dismorphia from social media has really destroyed / distorted a lot of men and women's perceptions of reality. 85% of guys suffer hair loss, which isn't always Male Pattern Baldness. A lot of those dudes in the comments are in for a nasty surprise as they age.
@@monsieurwolf6122 yeah its pretty funny. Most think it's only their moms side or their dads but they can inherit it from both. There are very few people that keep all their hair. By their 20s and 30s they'll slowly lose density and not even realize it. Once they do they can lose half their density. When I was in high school and college plenty of guys started to bald. It happens. If a guy keeps hos hair into his 40s and 50s he's safer because dht starts to decrease naturally but they aren't out of the woods even at that point.
I get your point, but some people don't bald due to genetics I have lots of friends/family guys at 45-50yo with full head of hair+hairline.. so. ya. my fgreaking uncle was 61 and his hair was better than me by miles. its all genetics.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Nah lol it's obvious they have good genetics from their brothers/dad etc they can't be all using meds.. you guys act like the entire world is using minox/fin lol.. it's not like that IRL. and even if they do you can spot a good healthy genetic hair from a thinning hair/or defuse thinning who is taking mids.
Have said it before and will say it again.. This channel is massively underrated and this is what content creation is supposed to be.. You have guided countless insecure men to be confident
Guided countless to cope, what about when they realize they look like crap? just cause this dude looks good bald doesn't mean everyone else will. Actually most won't.
@@duncanmacl3od this entire looking good is a made up concept. Down beneath we are all made of same flesh and blood and bones. This mentality to judge someone based on someone's look needs to be stopped. A human's height, hair, color are not in our hands. I hope you find some peace and let live your loved ones
I'm a 26 yo man, been losing my hair for last 4 years. Tried various things to stop hair loss. Have been watching you're video's for the last 3 years and just wanted to say that you have given myself and lots of others the confidence to embrace the bald look. Thank you for the great content and hope to see lots more videos.
Real hot girls love confident men! Am I gonna wait in bed for a guy whom is gonna spend extra hours in the mirror? Hell no!! ❤❤I love men... All gentlemen ❤❤. Be confident guys!
Look no further than in your comment section to find examples of the industry in action. They are creative, aggressive, and heartless. Thank you for exposing the scams. Thank you for being such an advocate for men.
Everyone in the world needs to watch this video. Not only about the bald insecurity, but this also reflects a lot of deeper meaning of todays life of how humanity changed. #BaldCafe
It's sad to see how the confidence of men is being systematically destroyed from young age only to make profit. Social media is poison. Stay away from it even if channels like this one here exist. Kudos to you for making a difference. Will recommend your channel to one of my homies. He is currently struggling with baldness. Embrace naturality. Embrace masculinity.
We also need to stop pretending that male balding has no effect on a mans dating life just because they can see a few examples of women online saying they don't care...
@@michaelangst6078I have long understood that this type of men is a coppers. They say so, but for some reason they continue to shave their entire head once a week, while after a hair transplant I get my hair cut once every 3 months, lol
@@vyacheslavv6180 A lot of non top 15% looking men are checking out of dating.. That is why it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men who seem to be ok with going bald and don't care.. Just my opinion, but I think it's factual
@@michaelangst6078 Of course bro but for crying out loud - you do understand this applies to EVERY facet of your character? The problem is you're framing the dating issue from the get go as a conquest to sleep with the MAXIMUM amount of girls possible. You MUST be, because baldness simply doesn't preclude you from dating. I went pretty much bald at 27/28 and was thinning for years before. Know plenty of men in similar scenario. Some of us are better looking than others but overall it averages out. All of us still found partners in that time frame. I got with my current partner when she was 24 and I was 28 and fully bald. I'm not some rich rockstar. Just a normal dude. Sure if you want the most shallow bimbo-esque tiktok girls you're probably out of luck and that's your own problem for aiming for lust over love. You'll have to compensate with physique or money/status. That is NORMAL too. There's a guy out there with perfect hair but he's short as hell and needs to compensate too. Life is about compromises and compensations. The pursuit of perfection will take anyone to depression. So ultimately you need to realise what you're looking for. But you're not making some grand point about baldness - men aren't deluding themselves that it has no consequence. Why do you think it is such a problem? It is a clear sign of mortality. But you're adding NOTHING here - just being a doom merchant. Your simply choice of hairstyle can also limit your dating pool. Get a geeky bowlcut and watch what happens. Or dress sense. Or sense of humour and banter. Instead of constantly focusing on what will detract from dating you need to focus on what good facets you have and work on them. Work on physique. Work on personality. Work on wealth. These things do not require cheating nature and taking dangerous drugs as addressing baldness does. And just accept you're not going to bang every 10/10 supermodel. Too much Corn got your generation refusing to grow up.
Keep making these vids, man! Head shaving’s been a blast! There are too many bald celebrities and athletes who haven’t been hindered by it, why should we?
You are absolutelly amazing dude... Thank you for your videos and the way you talk about this very sensitive topic. You content is pure public service. Thank you a billion times for your ethics and professionalism. A great example.
Because to achieve what "being beautiful" means, you probably have to buy the things they selling. You have to become the hamster on a wheel making money for them.
This baldness thing is something that unfortunately shakes our self-esteem!!! I'm 34 years old, and every year that passes my hairline (baldness) is receding a lot... sometimes I even accept it, unfortunately, I tried to use several medications but unfortunately none of them worked etc... the fact that sometimes saddens me is that sometimes I feel ugly, even when I look in the mirror I feel embarrassed! Not to mention that when I see a beautiful woman on the street, I get quite afraid because of my appearance and hairline receding and my hair that is falling out little by little etc... anyway... this was just a rant
This is natural having a full head of hair is one of the best things that could happen to a man it not only boosts your self esteem you feel more confident in your self. Without hair most man look 7-8 years older.
@@eliethia_munay - My intuition tells me he is in the business and what Harry is exposing in this video. Harry has really riled up the fraudsters after reading some of the comments in the videos.
Great video Harry. I tried the shaved head for 4 years before jumping on fin/min and then getting my first hair transplant. I respect you calling out the natural treatment bullshit. Anyone in the hair loss game knows there is no such thing unfortunately. I respect that you can acknowledge for some men keeping their hair via the methods that do work is the best option.
imagine getting a transplant when you still have healthy, shiny, and a FULL head of hair, just because of some normal widow peaks caused by your very own, normal male pattern baldness.
Absolutely great video! I have a friend who was told by a hair dresser that he will go bald. Sent him into a dark place. Irrational fears about having to die alone and all that stuff. I have noticed my hairline receding as well and i have to say it definitely gave me more anxiety than i thought it was (im 25) and it felt like im losing my youth which is crazy. All i want to say is. I am glad man like you and people in the comments here are supporting each other. Makes me proud of all the good men out there. Great mesage in this video! Keep it up!
I'm approaching 40 now, and my hair has been gradually receding around the temples for the past 8 years or so. I was pretty insecure about it, checking it in the mirror all the time. However, when I showed it to a couple female friends, they all said "Yeah, i kind of noticed, but I don't think it looks bad or anything." I was honestly surprised by that, and at this point, I've pretty much stopped caring about it. In fact, I kind of just embrace it now as part of how I look. I think way too many dudes are on social media, trying to have that unnaturally perfect look. I'm all for exercising and eating right, but this cosmetic stuff isn't worth it my dudes (and ladies too, frankly).
The problem isn’t the hair-loss prevention industry. That’s a miracle of modern medicine. The problem is that every dude with a degree in marketing from a fourth-tier university is trying to become an influencer. And many of them have figured out, with help from their education, that you can target pain points in people - like hair loss - to sell products and services.
I have had a shaved head for the past 5 years (35YO) due to balding but recently i have been feeling the pressure of not having hair again. Returning to your content has helped me regain some confidence again and be alright not having hair. Thanks Harry!
Just shows you how "embracing baldness" is just cope for this channel and us who watch. If there was a miracle spray that grew thick hair with 0 side effects we would all be on it tomorrow
Oh my word. Harry is just helping men come to terms with losing their hair, with alot of cases being men going the route of shaving it all off. Yes, of course alot of these men would likely choose to have a full head of hair over being bald but like myself it wasn't in the cards. There is nothing wrong with embracing being bald just as there is nothing wrong with trying to save / restore your lost hair. Whatever makes you happy and confident at the end of the day.
@ryell0913 hmmm really? See a lot of cafe vids constantly bashing hairloss methods which do work better for some than others. Feels like he's encouraging guys to shave it off so he feels better about himself
Bro, you nailed it at 8:04. I've been noticing this stuff on social media a lot and even these types of men commenting on your videos. I'm so glad you're talking about this
when i started balding i researched a lot on what causes baldness, and nothing aside from some medicine (yes medicine) seems to work. Those "natural" remedies really want to exploit young men and their fears. After those 90 days you will hardly notice any effect. In this modern day we have a lot of body positivity, however, baldness seems to be neglected. What really helped me back then was seeing cool rolemodels that were bald (bruce willis, jason statham, The rock and even Kratos). i have accepted it now, if i get the chance to a hair transplant relatively cheap maybe i will, but its low priority. I remember clearly thinking that no woman would ever like me with a bald head, but my wife loves it and i will pass this wisdom on to my son! have a great day!
I never had a single negative comment from a woman - when I shaved all my hair off, however, it was men who made the toxic negative remarks about my shaved head - tells you all you need to know.
Because women see men differently... in fact, lots of women like men with Buzz cut.. but the reality is. not everyone looks good with buzzz cut that's why.
@@MrDazza082 I didn't say teenagers/Girls. because those do like guys with hair of course.. but once they reach 35 the mentality changes a lot so does life.. other factors comes in first than HAIR.
@@zorashki you would be surprised mate. I'm in my 40s and I know alot of women my age bracket who still want guys with hair... I've seen plenty of bald men rejected for guys with hair Unfortunately
@@MrDazza082 Nope. If girls are turning you down for lack of hair - they’re shallow and not worth knowing. Hit the gym build muscle, sort your fashion & grooming like I did, and you’ll have no issues. If you’re struggling to date, go to Poland, those girls are family focused, stunning and not superficial so don’t care about bald guys. That’s what I did and I found a gem.
You're going to have a bunch of guys who had hair transplants and didn't keep up with medical treatments later in life with a grafted hairline and bald otherwise.
We should be honest. These things work because no man anywhere as a teenager said to themselves "yeah, I want to go bald". Having a full head of thick, lustrous hair is a symbol of health, youth and vitality. It's also the one aspect of your physical appearance you can change as you want. Going bald frankly makes you less attractive, not least because it dramatically ages you. There's also this sense of incredible unfairness. If it happened to *everyone* at the same age, it would be normalised. But it doesn't. We've all seen that guy of 40 or 50 and thought "why me?". Whoever comes up with the first effective way to reverse it will be a billionaire because no one will pass up on getting their hair back.
I’m saying they will NEVER put out a definitive cure even if it were to exist because the current business model of keeping you hooked and dependent on something they sell is far far more profitable. Why give you the cure when they can just farm your insecurity for profit?
All this hair topic, take eight years of my life into state of insecurity and stress, last 6-5 years went to this i were afraid of strong wind and looks bad when it destroys my hair and it will be seen that im bald on the top. Now, after 30 birthday, im done. Its one week after shaving my head and its just waaay to free space for my mind. Im finely stress free when going outside.
Thank you so much for your work. I am a young guy, 27, with a receding hairline. I am moving towards acceptance. But the ads I get on my for you page on social media are disgusting. Thanks once again
I'm a sociology teacher. I read a lot of papers and there's plenty pointing out the fact that social media and beauty standards makes people feel ugly and shit.
This is classic, i see it all the time where influencers aren't punished for committing blatant fraud. People are just allowed to spread actuall misinformation in order to sell you stuff. You see it all the time with fitness influencers claiming natural and pushing their own supplements
I cut out a large rant in the video saying this exact thing actually. Massive similarities to the fitness Industry. Gets big using gear, claims natty or says nothing and sells programs/coaching supps to people expecting to look the same or girl with a god given dump truck get big on ig then sells booty building programs.
@Baldcafe Yeah especially when you see people like the "liver king" get completely caught out to the point he admits it and literally nothing happens. Should be banned from all social media platforms. It's the same with fake hair loss treatments, selling the dream, making thousands of quid from desperate lads and then having literally no reprocussions (seems a lot of people on social media have forgotten what's right from wrong). Is what it is though until the platforms decide to do something about it we need people like you to spread the fact that it is blatant misinformation to help stop lads from falling for it.
I'm genuinely sad at this reversal of trend. I felt like 5-10 years ago baldness was finally being embraced by men and becoming normalised and dare I say even cool (Walt from Breaking Bad) and men were promoting to eachother the idea of just shaving it off and embracing your new future. Focus on the things that matter like being a good man, developing a family, being healthy and fit and benefitting society. It seems like a complete 180 has happened. From cheap transplants in Turkey, men promoting the poison that is Fin/Minox across their YT channels and downplaying side effects, influencers and social media constantly showing 'transformations' where men are using toupees, concealers and so on to even seeing David Beckham openly promote hair transplant to Sean on the hot wings show thingy instead of telling him he looks good anyway. We are becoming really shallow again and it hurts. I suddenly feel conscious of my baldness this last year and I notice more people joking about it again or even cab drivers telling me why don't I go to Turkey. It is like people can't fathom why I'd accept baldness when I can take horrible drugs and go for transplants even 5 years... for what? What is the bloody point? So I look 'better'? More 'normal'? Who effing cares yet it seems the whole world does. I'm lucky I have a partner who loves me bald but I feel for these men coming up and trying to find one in this shallow world. Especially since from my observations it seems like baldness is on the rise and affecting men younger and younger. Not to mention TV constantly portrays villains and bad people as bald. It is horrendous what they're doing to us.
@@diablo4975 You missed the entire point. Life isn't about looking good constantly. You'd look better with a Fight Club physique, do you have one? You'd look better at 6ft2, are you that tall? You'd look better with perfect youthful skin, are you going to have that forever? You'd look better with classically handsome features, do you have those? You'd look better with a perfectly symmetric face, do you have one? At some point you realise you're just chasing a dragon and baldness is no different. You say fight it as if the fight is easy - you don't understand anything. The fight is as difficult as accepting it and way more dangerous. Do you even understand the side effects of Fin and Minox? I get what you're trying to say - "at least men have a chance to fight it" - but the reality is it is a losing fight for men determined to go NW5 on the baldness scale. You have to trade too much and the better lesson is to embrace it. A person with a tiny bit of thinning is a completely different case.
@@diablo4975 Also no, not everybody look better with hair. Your statement should be 'everybody looks better with PERFECT HAIR and PERFECT hairline'. How many men have those above age of 30? Maybe less than 10%. Almost every man I've ever seen looks BETTER BALD than BALDING. This is just a fact. So stop being so narcissistically negative. You're not helping yourself or other people. If you're at NW4/5 scale of baldness you will literally look 5 years younger instantly by shaving your hair off.
Technology of today has made it easier, painless, and more affordable for many more people to have a say on if they would like to be bald or if they would like to have hair. TBH I think what most males struggle with is seeing the progression of loss spread and not being able to do anything about it. My brother-in-law had transplantation in turkey and it looks absolutely incredible. IMO your body, your choice, and whatever you choose is the best thing for you!
Being bald is Gen Z worst nightmare. Back in the day we already did buzzcuts because it looked rebelious, alt fashion in some subcultures. So i personally never mind having to go bald that much. Kinda sucks to see the hairline receding. But a razorshave cleans it well up. At least i never really had to get the full courage or confidence again. Thats a plus when u did buzzcuts from 14 yo lol
Just the other day I had a friend express concern about his hairline and was worried that he's balding. He proceeded to show me and sure enough it was just sharpening/maturing and I explained to him that that's just what happens as you age and that it doesn’t mean you're going bald. I showed him that I have the same thing and we both have full heads of hair. Really messed up how these companies are taking advantage of guys with perfectly fine hair/hairlines and preying on their insecurities for profit.
Thank you for saying this. I suffered from telogen effluvium after having pneumonia for over a month, and immediately every social platform was telling me i had MPB and i should immediately start taking finasteride/minoxidil etc. Their ads had guys with completely normal hairlines, and saying if you see any amount of hair in your shower its over for you. Hims, Keeps and so on have been the biggest fearmongers. Luckily I saw a real dermatologist who told me what was actually happening, and not just some online service who only wanted to sell me something. Age happens. You will still be just as attractive whether you have a full head of hair, receding hair, or are completely bald. To each their own what they want to do with their hair, but only feeling like you have worth if you have hair will make you deeply depressed. Trying to hide who you are is the unattractive part.
Not even balding in the slightest, but i've been shaving my head for almost two years now. It's just so liberating that you don't have to worry about your hair and how it looks etc.
I'd been doing the same for nearly 25 years, but recently I changed it up to a mohawk. I've got most of the benefits of a shaved head and a hairstyle that I can easily refresh every other day or so.
Haha this is funny because I’ve been shaving my hair for the past 3 years I’m 21 and my friends and people are surprised that I can actually grow hair, I just like shaving like you said because it’s better
you are totally right about. I am 19 years old and bald since 3 months and its the best thing I have ever done, first I thought it was a bad idea but I found the courage because of your videos keep up the good work, you are helping so many young guys.♥💪😁🙌
I’m 36, I am very slowly going bald , have been for over ten years. It’s thin but not noticable unless it’s wet. I got my hairline done 5 years ago because it was receding. Wish I didn’t now, as I won’t touch medication. My hairline is starting to thin unnaturally and My crown is starting to thin slowly now too so I’m going to end up looking like zinadine zidane. I won’t go back for another one. I’m going to brave the shave maybe next year. I try to warn people off hair transplants now when they ask me due to them not actually working. Sometimes medications don’t work for people either so if you end up having one and they don’t work , you end up looking like a science project.
Reminds me of a guy who owned one of those SMP/hair tattoo franchises in Scotland. He posted a picture of his head as an example of a successful procedure. I was skeptical and was able to quite easily find out he’d only had his thinning crown filled in.
As someone who is on hair loss meds and trying the tressless route, your content is absolutely great. This industry is absolutely vile. I see so many HT patients on Reddit that were told to take all sorts of useless shit because their surgeon didn’t want to tell them they should take risky meds for life if they want a HT and as a result see a lot of their potential customers put off by the idea that HTs aren’t actually a magical permanent fix for hair loss.
Haha you're not wrong, when I got diagnosed with Male pattern baldness I felt like I got told I had Cancer. Very dramatic I know, I've calmed down a bit now.
That's because recieving a good hair transplant back in the 90's was actually rare, and women in general weren't nearly as looks hungry as they are today
The treatment rooms in london are brilliant. Advised me against the need for a procedure yet and have been so sensible with potential hairlines, refusal to go too low etc
I honestly think one of the reasons why people fall for such scammers is that the proven and safe treatments (fin and min, but especially fin) are portrayed as something dangerous, and it comes down to choosing between your health and your hair. This is factually wrong (2% incidence of side effects, no proof for persistent side effects). But since people are made to believe that it comes down to choosing between your hair and your health, they look for 'alternative' treatments out of desperation. If people were just objective about finasteride, then there wouldn’t be so much fear around taking it and way less incentive to listen to such scammers. Unfortunately, you've already given into the fear-mongering yourself. I like your channel and I think it helps many people deal with baldness. I just hope you understand why I think spreading unwarranted fear about finasteride (and sometimes even minoxidil) contributes to people falling for scammers.
This is bad advice because messing with hormones can have dire consequences. My body can't tolerate fin and it sucks, but I know many guys who tried it and got off because of sides.
Respect for calling this out. I don't struggle with any form of hairloss but I can empathize with the difficulty for men becoming insecure about hairloss. We need to STOP the grifters
When I noticed my hair was getting really thin on top, I shaved it all off that same day just to understand how I would look being bold. After getting used to the change, I actually loved it. Now I let my hair grow out again and I'm not scared at all anymore for the hair loss. Even if you still have quite some hair but its reclining, think about shaving it. It was a massive relief for me. Sidenote: Somehow the reclining slowed down massively. The only thing I can think of that changed is reduction of stress, I never resorted to specialised products.
Look, as a guy who has been fighting hair loss (successfully) by means of medication and a minor hair transplant, I can tell you that it's not easy and requires dedication and sacrifice. If you're a young dude experiencing hair loss, you're at a crossroad and need to ask yourself the following: Do you want to make the commitment to put in the mental and financial resources and time to eventually get your hair back and be happy? Or do you just want to accept the hair loss, move on and be happy? The worst thing you can do is be in some sort of mindset in-between the two extremes, because then you'll always be stuck wondering "what if I had actually committed to fighting hair loss?". So take the time, choose which route you want to take, and stick to your guns. Both paths lead to happiness.
@@lookeshdas455 because hair loss is progressive. Finasteride slows down or even completely halts hairloss, but it doesn’t reverse it. A hair transplant will add hair to the places where there isn’t any hair any more. A hair transplant is more like a “cosmetic touch up”, whereas finasteride will permanently halt the progressions of hair loss.
@@dallaslooksmaxxer3505 As someone that is using these drugs myself, finasteride doesn't halt hair loss forever, it slows it down. If it actually halted it, it would be a miracle cure and everyone would just start taking it as soon as they turn 18, balding or not.
Just shaved my head yesterday. I was beginning to bald and I felt like I needed to do something. Also I didnt have any ideas for hairstyles because I dont care about my hair. So I jsut removed it. Less maintenance, looks badass on most people with a beard and it just makes you more secure. It removes a hidden insecurity, even if you dont acknowledge it.
I've studied MPB for over 12 years with using myself as the main test subject... I only tried ancient Indian, native American, Chinese, Japanese and Siamese herbs and extracts, even went into the Siberian route... It's been 8 years and let me tell you , it's 2 things: A) external environment B) INTERNAL CONDITIONS (PARTIALLY GENETICALLY BASED) ANY TYPE OF DIET OR TOPICAL OINTMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS WILL ONLY COVER LIKE 5 - 30% MAXIMUM OF THE RESULT YOU WANT with 0 side effects... So many issues to tackle it's an uphill battle that seems Never ending...
@@Baldcafe well, I mean that you can't narrow it down to just a hand full of things for each individual male on this earth. Yes, it's a combination of both, depending on your health condition, one will dominate the other on the effects it's has on your hair... No offence taken, I followed your progress from the days you were in China. Kind regards
@@Baldcafe it's mainly an internal progress that is actually similar to leucoderma. it's your immune system attacking healthy hair follicles, like with leucoderma it's the pigment hence de pigmentation... Well, I would love to be on your podcast some day. Just a small TH-camr here.
@@Baldcafe I forgot to mention (my original point) that mainly men will focus on the internal aspect like: diet, supplements, topical ointments, etc... Not so on the external, your surroundings, what you come in contact with on a daily basis. If you don't take yourself out of the toxic environment... And only focus on what you consume, you're skipping a large portion of the recovery aspect, what experts will never point out.
My attitude to this is exactly the same as women and makeup. Its the same issue. Societal beauty standards are so high and we are forced to feel insecure and to rhino these normal bodily things are unnatural when they are. When we fear these natural processes that causes frustration and vulnerability making us open to influence. This influence is typically to buy a product whether it does anything or not.
A worrying number of celebrities have seemingly had hair transplants. I won't name names, but if more people in the public eye normalized baldness, the world would be a better place.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Hmmm. Just to clarify, I'm not worried about the celebrities. Or worried in general. I just mean it encourages the idea baldness is something to be ashamed about, or even unusual. Men lose their hair, some more quickly than others, but it happens
@@paulf6973 Women as a whole deifnately think baldness is unattarctive.. I dn't know why dudes are still coping on the internet saying the opposite.. When women are with pure bald guys, it's almost alwayys just because of his financial statyus unless he is very good looking
@@michaelangst6078 Well most men will lose hair, to a degree, just as most women won't stay stick thin. The message this channel tries to present is that it's nothing to be ashamed about, and to embrace it (not imprisoned by combovers, fibres, hair systems...)
True! When you are desperate, especially if you have just started to experience hair loss, you will believe anything because you want to believe it! You throw all common sense out the window! This is definitely preying on the vulnerable! Can't stand people like that.
Me too!! Also since 2021. Hair never looked right on me anyway. I've always had hair like Seymour Skinner for some reason. I was happy to finally be rid of it.
Gran vídeo. La verdad es que veo a muchos chicos jóvenes que lo único que están es boicoteándose a sí mismos de cara al futuro. Están regando su futura ansiedad al comprar la creencia de que la pérdida de pelo solo tiene una salida posible: el trasplante o la medicación. Como bien has explicado, ver a esos chicos (que tienen un pelo aparentemente sano) hacerse trasplantes (algunos hasta adelantando la línea de nacimiento del pelo de forma artificial) muestra la histeria e inseguridad que se está creando. Y no parece difícil ver la relación existen entre esos comentarios en redes y estos trasplantes prematuros.
I do have to say: Bowers would definitely look badass with a shaven head! And not just him, but every man with hair loss looks better shaven imo, especially after watching the transformation videos on this channel.
I think its generellay underestimated how many people suffer from body dismorphia, from consuming social media and talking about it is such an important thing to do. Just knowing there is a community of guys who share the same insecurity globally takes a lot of stress off me.
I cannot bring myself to being bald just yet, but in the future I might. Looksmaxxing had consumed me to an extent that I forgot that the optimal me isn't the happy me.
Don't believe the dudes just straight up lying here saying women like clean shaved heads etc...We know the truth is attractive women want to see attarctive hair on a man whether it is long or short....
I truly wish this platform was around when i started wearing a hair system to deal with my balding back in 1987. Once you go the hair system route, it is like being addicted to drugs...you must keep on using it. And the money that you will spend is unfathomable. Plus you are always concerned about it coming off, losing hair from it, and not looking natural in strong light or when exercising. HT is a painful and money pit too. Unless you have very thick hair and plenty of it, you cannot fill a balding area. Rogaine/Propecia only works on the crown and not the front. Micro Grafts fade like any tattoo does, and looks way too conspicuous. I retired last year and now shave or buzz my head. I am 67 and still somewhat attentive to going somewhere without a cap but I am getting more comfortable at certain times. It is a problem when people always saw me with hair and now see me shaved. And I have to tell them.
Body dismorphia from social media has really destroyed / distorted a lot of men and women's perceptions of reality. 85% of guys suffer hair loss, which isn't always Male Pattern Baldness. A lot of those dudes in the comments are in for a nasty surprise as they age.
@@monsieurwolf6122 yeah its pretty funny. Most think it's only their moms side or their dads but they can inherit it from both. There are very few people that keep all their hair. By their 20s and 30s they'll slowly lose density and not even realize it. Once they do they can lose half their density. When I was in high school and college plenty of guys started to bald. It happens. If a guy keeps hos hair into his 40s and 50s he's safer because dht starts to decrease naturally but they aren't out of the woods even at that point.
I get your point, but some people don't bald due to genetics I have lots of friends/family guys at 45-50yo with full head of hair+hairline.. so. ya. my fgreaking uncle was 61 and his hair was better than me by miles. its all genetics.
@@zorashki maybe those friends have been using meds for years. You can't tell if they do or don't because it's their natural hair
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Nah lol it's obvious they have good genetics from their brothers/dad etc they can't be all using meds.. you guys act like the entire world is using minox/fin lol.. it's not like that IRL. and even if they do you can spot a good healthy genetic hair from a thinning hair/or defuse thinning who is taking mids.

Have said it before and will say it again.. This channel is massively underrated and this is what content creation is supposed to be.. You have guided countless insecure men to be confident
Great comment! ✌🏽
Correction: You have guided countless insecure men to be bald.
@@Mike-wq7mw 😂
Guided countless to cope, what about when they realize they look like crap? just cause this dude looks good bald doesn't mean everyone else will. Actually most won't.
@@duncanmacl3od this entire looking good is a made up concept. Down beneath we are all made of same flesh and blood and bones. This mentality to judge someone based on someone's look needs to be stopped. A human's height, hair, color are not in our hands. I hope you find some peace and let live your loved ones
I'm a 26 yo man, been losing my hair for last 4 years. Tried various things to stop hair loss.
Have been watching you're video's for the last 3 years and just wanted to say that you have given myself and lots of others the confidence to embrace the bald look.
Thank you for the great content and hope to see lots more videos.
Happy for you man. I wana see you, me and everyone else win. We don’t need the insecurity of something so normal as MPB holding us back.
I still blame covid for my hair thinning
Real hot girls love confident men! Am I gonna wait in bed for a guy whom is gonna spend extra hours in the mirror? Hell no!! ❤❤I love men... All gentlemen ❤❤. Be confident guys!
Did you try finasteride ?
Look no further than in your comment section to find examples of the industry in action. They are creative, aggressive, and heartless. Thank you for exposing the scams. Thank you for being such an advocate for men.

Everyone in the world needs to watch this video. Not only about the bald insecurity, but this also reflects a lot of deeper meaning of todays life of how humanity changed. #BaldCafe
It's sad to see how the confidence of men is being systematically destroyed from young age only to make profit. Social media is poison. Stay away from it even if channels like this one here exist.
Kudos to you for making a difference. Will recommend your channel to one of my homies. He is currently struggling with baldness.
Embrace naturality. Embrace masculinity.
We also need to stop pretending that male balding has no effect on a mans dating life just because they can see a few examples of women online saying they don't care...
@@michaelangst6078I have long understood that this type of men is a coppers. They say so, but for some reason they continue to shave their entire head once a week, while after a hair transplant I get my hair cut once every 3 months, lol
@@vyacheslavv6180 A lot of non top 15% looking men are checking out of dating.. That is why it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men who seem to be ok with going bald and don't care.. Just my opinion, but I think it's factual
Its stil better to have hair on the head
@@michaelangst6078 Of course bro but for crying out loud - you do understand this applies to EVERY facet of your character?
The problem is you're framing the dating issue from the get go as a conquest to sleep with the MAXIMUM amount of girls possible. You MUST be, because baldness simply doesn't preclude you from dating.
I went pretty much bald at 27/28 and was thinning for years before. Know plenty of men in similar scenario. Some of us are better looking than others but overall it averages out. All of us still found partners in that time frame. I got with my current partner when she was 24 and I was 28 and fully bald. I'm not some rich rockstar. Just a normal dude.
Sure if you want the most shallow bimbo-esque tiktok girls you're probably out of luck and that's your own problem for aiming for lust over love. You'll have to compensate with physique or money/status. That is NORMAL too. There's a guy out there with perfect hair but he's short as hell and needs to compensate too.
Life is about compromises and compensations. The pursuit of perfection will take anyone to depression.
So ultimately you need to realise what you're looking for. But you're not making some grand point about baldness - men aren't deluding themselves that it has no consequence. Why do you think it is such a problem? It is a clear sign of mortality. But you're adding NOTHING here - just being a doom merchant.
Your simply choice of hairstyle can also limit your dating pool. Get a geeky bowlcut and watch what happens. Or dress sense. Or sense of humour and banter. Instead of constantly focusing on what will detract from dating you need to focus on what good facets you have and work on them. Work on physique. Work on personality. Work on wealth. These things do not require cheating nature and taking dangerous drugs as addressing baldness does.
And just accept you're not going to bang every 10/10 supermodel. Too much Corn got your generation refusing to grow up.
Can't wait for my Horseshoe you are a HUGE inspiration bro. Drop social media guys and watch your mental health return to normal.
Very true! Ever since I deleted all my socials I’ve gained a better self image! I didn’t realize I was comparing myself to others!
Can’t wait? Lol
Don't have socialmedia but a mirror, first one won't change anything the last sure if i would want live in denial.

Great video, Harry. Keep preaching confidence and acceptance.
Keep making these vids, man! Head shaving’s been a blast! There are too many bald celebrities and athletes who haven’t been hindered by it, why should we?
because they're celebrities and athletes
Become one too.
Good job with the detective work, it's what I like about you Harry can't stand falseness and bs.
Keep it going 💪
Dear Bald Cafe, Please maintain this honest clear views about reality, there are few who can be honest
I visited Istanbul in June and was SHOCKED by the amount of people walking around with obvious signs of hair restoration surgery…the airport was crazy
You are absolutelly amazing dude... Thank you for your videos and the way you talk about this very sensitive topic.
You content is pure public service. Thank you a billion times for your ethics and professionalism.
A great example.
Main problem with all those celebritys/influencers is that they promoting being beautiful instead being strong, smart and self confident.
very well said
beauty is above all
@@mistertutunga feel sorry for you
Because to achieve what "being beautiful" means, you probably have to buy the things they selling. You have to become the hamster on a wheel making money for them.
@@paulandreas7955 Cope, beauty = health. If you go bald, there's something wrong with you genetically.
This baldness thing is something that unfortunately shakes our self-esteem!!! I'm 34 years old, and every year that passes my hairline (baldness) is receding a lot... sometimes I even accept it, unfortunately, I tried to use several medications but unfortunately none of them worked etc... the fact that sometimes saddens me is that sometimes I feel ugly, even when I look in the mirror I feel embarrassed! Not to mention that when I see a beautiful woman on the street, I get quite afraid because of my appearance and hairline receding and my hair that is falling out little by little etc... anyway... this was just a rant
This is natural having a full head of hair is one of the best things that could happen to a man it not only boosts your self esteem you feel more confident in your self. Without hair most man look 7-8 years older.
So stop crying and get hair transplant

@@eliethia_munay - My intuition tells me he is in the business and what Harry is exposing in this video. Harry has really riled up the fraudsters after reading some of the comments in the videos.
Great video Harry. I tried the shaved head for 4 years before jumping on fin/min and then getting my first hair transplant. I respect you calling out the natural treatment bullshit. Anyone in the hair loss game knows there is no such thing unfortunately. I respect that you can acknowledge for some men keeping their hair via the methods that do work is the best option.
Such a class video, top work my man 👏
Thank you man. Appreciate it 👍
Got my procedure done about 3 years ago. I regret nothing about it and completely made me happier. Each day I do my hair I get a smile on my face .
Interesting that you found this video 👍
@@Baldcafe what's with the attitude bro? You're worried more about the views or just want people pandering to you?
Are you tall?
imagine getting a transplant when you still have healthy, shiny, and a FULL head of hair, just because of some normal widow peaks caused by your very own, normal male pattern baldness.
I don't see what's wrong with it, since hair transplant surgery actually works, why not fix it for a little bit of thinning
Absolutely great video! I have a friend who was told by a hair dresser that he will go bald. Sent him into a dark place. Irrational fears about having to die alone and all that stuff. I have noticed my hairline receding as well and i have to say it definitely gave me more anxiety than i thought it was (im 25) and it felt like im losing my youth which is crazy.
All i want to say is. I am glad man like you and people in the comments here are supporting each other. Makes me proud of all the good men out there. Great mesage in this video! Keep it up!
Great content.., we need more content like this for sure!
Spot on Harry, keep up the good work, you are directly helping people with a no bullshit approach 💪💪 keep up the good fight brother ✌️
I'm approaching 40 now, and my hair has been gradually receding around the temples for the past 8 years or so. I was pretty insecure about it, checking it in the mirror all the time. However, when I showed it to a couple female friends, they all said "Yeah, i kind of noticed, but I don't think it looks bad or anything." I was honestly surprised by that, and at this point, I've pretty much stopped caring about it. In fact, I kind of just embrace it now as part of how I look. I think way too many dudes are on social media, trying to have that unnaturally perfect look. I'm all for exercising and eating right, but this cosmetic stuff isn't worth it my dudes (and ladies too, frankly).
They are obsessed with the look God wanted in his natural creation.
The problem isn’t the hair-loss prevention industry. That’s a miracle of modern medicine. The problem is that every dude with a degree in marketing from a fourth-tier university is trying to become an influencer. And many of them have figured out, with help from their education, that you can target pain points in people - like hair loss - to sell products and services.
I have had a shaved head for the past 5 years (35YO) due to balding but recently i have been feeling the pressure of not having hair again. Returning to your content has helped me regain some confidence again and be alright not having hair. Thanks Harry!
Just shows you how "embracing baldness" is just cope for this channel and us who watch. If there was a miracle spray that grew thick hair with 0 side effects we would all be on it tomorrow
Why should u be alright with people like this guy holding people back instead of what they actually want? Hair is better than being bald
Oh my word. Harry is just helping men come to terms with losing their hair, with alot of cases being men going the route of shaving it all off. Yes, of course alot of these men would likely choose to have a full head of hair over being bald but like myself it wasn't in the cards. There is nothing wrong with embracing being bald just as there is nothing wrong with trying to save / restore your lost hair. Whatever makes you happy and confident at the end of the day.
@ryell0913 hmmm really? See a lot of cafe vids constantly bashing hairloss methods which do work better for some than others. Feels like he's encouraging guys to shave it off so he feels better about himself

Ounce again Harry, a much needed vidéo 👌 keep up the good work
Bro, you nailed it at 8:04. I've been noticing this stuff on social media a lot and even these types of men commenting on your videos. I'm so glad you're talking about this
when i started balding i researched a lot on what causes baldness, and nothing aside from some medicine (yes medicine) seems to work. Those "natural" remedies really want to exploit young men and their fears. After those 90 days you will hardly notice any effect. In this modern day we have a lot of body positivity, however, baldness seems to be neglected. What really helped me back then was seeing cool rolemodels that were bald (bruce willis, jason statham, The rock and even Kratos). i have accepted it now, if i get the chance to a hair transplant relatively cheap maybe i will, but its low priority. I remember clearly thinking that no woman would ever like me with a bald head, but my wife loves it and i will pass this wisdom on to my son! have a great day!
Well done for exposing these liars man.
I never had a single negative comment from a woman - when I shaved all my hair off, however, it was men who made the toxic negative remarks about my shaved head - tells you all you need to know.
Because women see men differently... in fact, lots of women like men with Buzz cut.. but the reality is. not everyone looks good with buzzz cut that's why.
That's a cope.. that's Only true if you are good looking already
@@MrDazza082 I didn't say teenagers/Girls. because those do like guys with hair of course.. but once they reach 35 the mentality changes a lot so does life.. other factors comes in first than HAIR.
@@zorashki you would be surprised mate. I'm in my 40s and I know alot of women my age bracket who still want guys with hair... I've seen plenty of bald men rejected for guys with hair Unfortunately
@@MrDazza082 Nope. If girls are turning you down for lack of hair - they’re shallow and not worth knowing. Hit the gym build muscle, sort your fashion & grooming like I did, and you’ll have no issues. If you’re struggling to date, go to Poland, those girls are family focused, stunning and not superficial so don’t care about bald guys. That’s what I did and I found a gem.
You're going to have a bunch of guys who had hair transplants and didn't keep up with medical treatments later in life with a grafted hairline and bald otherwise.
So needed
Great video
Harry you’re a great guy for doing this thanks for all the work you do - shows there’s life after hair 😊
Great messaging man. Well done.
Much appreciated
3:57 it's not only taking advantage of other men's insecurities, it's rather literally fraud which makes it even worse
Great vid. Snake oil comes in all shapes and sizes. Copium is a great market.
perfect video, u nailed it!
We should be honest. These things work because no man anywhere as a teenager said to themselves "yeah, I want to go bald". Having a full head of thick, lustrous hair is a symbol of health, youth and vitality. It's also the one aspect of your physical appearance you can change as you want. Going bald frankly makes you less attractive, not least because it dramatically ages you. There's also this sense of incredible unfairness. If it happened to *everyone* at the same age, it would be normalised. But it doesn't. We've all seen that guy of 40 or 50 and thought "why me?". Whoever comes up with the first effective way to reverse it will be a billionaire because no one will pass up on getting their hair back.
I’m saying they will NEVER put out a definitive cure even if it were to exist because the current business model of keeping you hooked and dependent on something they sell is far far more profitable. Why give you the cure when they can just farm your insecurity for profit?
Thank you for this important video and for exposing scammers who promise unattainable results! :) Keep up the great video quality.
Keep doing the great work Harry. Love your videos. We have your back 💪
you deserved my like and respect sir have a nice day!
Thanks bro. Appreciate you
All this hair topic, take eight years of my life into state of insecurity and stress, last 6-5 years went to this i were afraid of strong wind and looks bad when it destroys my hair and it will be seen that im bald on the top. Now, after 30 birthday, im done. Its one week after shaving my head and its just waaay to free space for my mind. Im finely stress free when going outside.
Thank you so much for your work. I am a young guy, 27, with a receding hairline. I am moving towards acceptance. But the ads I get on my for you page on social media are disgusting. Thanks once again
I'm a sociology teacher. I read a lot of papers and there's plenty pointing out the fact that social media and beauty standards makes people feel ugly and shit.
we dont need social media, even people in real world judge you about appearance...
Thank you for exposing these piece of crap videos😂
The worst part is since digging in to them my algorithm is flooded 😂
@Baldcafe yeah I agree 😂🔥 it's ridiculous. I'm not afraid of being bald. The fact that these weirdos are promoting fraudulent products is insane 😂
😂
I just skipped these 😂😂😂😂 i wasnt even affected or what. Like just scroll through 😂😂😂
great video as always
Thank you 👍
This is classic, i see it all the time where influencers aren't punished for committing blatant fraud. People are just allowed to spread actuall misinformation in order to sell you stuff.
You see it all the time with fitness influencers claiming natural and pushing their own supplements
I cut out a large rant in the video saying this exact thing actually. Massive similarities to the fitness Industry. Gets big using gear, claims natty or says nothing and sells programs/coaching supps to people expecting to look the same or girl with a god given dump truck get big on ig then sells booty building programs.
@Baldcafe Yeah especially when you see people like the "liver king" get completely caught out to the point he admits it and literally nothing happens. Should be banned from all social media platforms. It's the same with fake hair loss treatments, selling the dream, making thousands of quid from desperate lads and then having literally no reprocussions (seems a lot of people on social media have forgotten what's right from wrong). Is what it is though until the platforms decide to do something about it we need people like you to spread the fact that it is blatant misinformation to help stop lads from falling for it.
I'm genuinely sad at this reversal of trend. I felt like 5-10 years ago baldness was finally being embraced by men and becoming normalised and dare I say even cool (Walt from Breaking Bad) and men were promoting to eachother the idea of just shaving it off and embracing your new future. Focus on the things that matter like being a good man, developing a family, being healthy and fit and benefitting society.
It seems like a complete 180 has happened. From cheap transplants in Turkey, men promoting the poison that is Fin/Minox across their YT channels and downplaying side effects, influencers and social media constantly showing 'transformations' where men are using toupees, concealers and so on to even seeing David Beckham openly promote hair transplant to Sean on the hot wings show thingy instead of telling him he looks good anyway.
We are becoming really shallow again and it hurts. I suddenly feel conscious of my baldness this last year and I notice more people joking about it again or even cab drivers telling me why don't I go to Turkey. It is like people can't fathom why I'd accept baldness when I can take horrible drugs and go for transplants even 5 years... for what? What is the bloody point? So I look 'better'? More 'normal'? Who effing cares yet it seems the whole world does.
I'm lucky I have a partner who loves me bald but I feel for these men coming up and trying to find one in this shallow world. Especially since from my observations it seems like baldness is on the rise and affecting men younger and younger.
Not to mention TV constantly portrays villains and bad people as bald. It is horrendous what they're doing to us.
Great comment! ✌🏽
But its still better than being bald if you want to fight it fight.Not everyone look good bald.And to summarise everybody look better with hair
@@diablo4975 You missed the entire point.
Life isn't about looking good constantly. You'd look better with a Fight Club physique, do you have one? You'd look better at 6ft2, are you that tall? You'd look better with perfect youthful skin, are you going to have that forever? You'd look better with classically handsome features, do you have those? You'd look better with a perfectly symmetric face, do you have one?
At some point you realise you're just chasing a dragon and baldness is no different. You say fight it as if the fight is easy - you don't understand anything. The fight is as difficult as accepting it and way more dangerous. Do you even understand the side effects of Fin and Minox?
I get what you're trying to say - "at least men have a chance to fight it" - but the reality is it is a losing fight for men determined to go NW5 on the baldness scale. You have to trade too much and the better lesson is to embrace it. A person with a tiny bit of thinning is a completely different case.
@@diablo4975 Also no, not everybody look better with hair. Your statement should be 'everybody looks better with PERFECT HAIR and PERFECT hairline'.
How many men have those above age of 30? Maybe less than 10%. Almost every man I've ever seen looks BETTER BALD than BALDING. This is just a fact. So stop being so narcissistically negative. You're not helping yourself or other people. If you're at NW4/5 scale of baldness you will literally look 5 years younger instantly by shaving your hair off.
@@diablo4975is hair better than fitness?
Good for you to be exposing scammers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Even if I’m for the treatment route, this video was really, really good
Yeah this ain’t anti guys who do treatment. It’s anti exploitation
Technology of today has made it easier, painless, and more affordable for many more people to have a say on if they would like to be bald or if they would like to have hair. TBH I think what most males struggle with is seeing the progression of loss spread and not being able to do anything about it. My brother-in-law had transplantation in turkey and it looks absolutely incredible.
IMO your body, your choice, and whatever you choose is the best thing for you!
Being bald is Gen Z worst nightmare. Back in the day we already did buzzcuts because it looked rebelious, alt fashion in some subcultures. So i personally never mind having to go bald that much. Kinda sucks to see the hairline receding. But a razorshave cleans it well up. At least i never really had to get the full courage or confidence again. Thats a plus when u did buzzcuts from 14 yo lol
ok boomer
Just the other day I had a friend express concern about his hairline and was worried that he's balding. He proceeded to show me and sure enough it was just sharpening/maturing and I explained to him that that's just what happens as you age and that it doesn’t mean you're going bald. I showed him that I have the same thing and we both have full heads of hair. Really messed up how these companies are taking advantage of guys with perfectly fine hair/hairlines and preying on their insecurities for profit.
That's what i thought before i started losing more hair. Minoxidil and finasteride has my hairline really close to baseline.
@@veilmontTVside effects?
Thank you for saying this. I suffered from telogen effluvium after having pneumonia for over a month, and immediately every social platform was telling me i had MPB and i should immediately start taking finasteride/minoxidil etc. Their ads had guys with completely normal hairlines, and saying if you see any amount of hair in your shower its over for you. Hims, Keeps and so on have been the biggest fearmongers. Luckily I saw a real dermatologist who told me what was actually happening, and not just some online service who only wanted to sell me something.
Age happens. You will still be just as attractive whether you have a full head of hair, receding hair, or are completely bald. To each their own what they want to do with their hair, but only feeling like you have worth if you have hair will make you deeply depressed. Trying to hide who you are is the unattractive part.
Thank you for being a legend bro
This industry destroyed women's confidence, and now its men's turn unfortunatelly

Not even balding in the slightest, but i've been shaving my head for almost two years now. It's just so liberating that you don't have to worry about your hair and how it looks etc.
@@tatuauvinen3300 so you have a buzz cut.
I'd been doing the same for nearly 25 years, but recently I changed it up to a mohawk. I've got most of the benefits of a shaved head and a hairstyle that I can easily refresh every other day or so.
Cool story bro. It's like saying you know how it feels to be paraplegic because your foot went numb once
Haha this is funny because I’ve been shaving my hair for the past 3 years I’m 21 and my friends and people are surprised that I can actually grow hair, I just like shaving like you said because it’s better
What does your girlfriend think about you shaving it?
God bless you baldcafe
awesome video dude!
you are totally right about. I am 19 years old and bald since 3 months and its the best thing I have ever done, first I thought it was a bad idea but I found the courage because of your videos keep up the good work, you are helping so many young guys.♥💪😁🙌
give it few years, youre gonna start to hate beingbald pretty soon.
I’m 36, I am very slowly going bald , have been for over ten years. It’s thin but not noticable unless it’s wet. I got my hairline done 5 years ago because it was receding. Wish I didn’t now, as I won’t touch medication. My hairline is starting to thin unnaturally and My crown is starting to thin slowly now too so I’m going to end up looking like zinadine zidane. I won’t go back for another one. I’m going to brave the shave maybe next year. I try to warn people off hair transplants now when they ask me due to them not actually working. Sometimes medications don’t work for people either so if you end up having one and they don’t work , you end up looking like a science project.
Reminds me of a guy who owned one of those SMP/hair tattoo franchises in Scotland. He posted a picture of his head as an example of a successful procedure. I was skeptical and was able to quite easily find out he’d only had his thinning crown filled in.
Mate it’s absolutely rife out there. Stay wise brother 👍
this is why youre the goat
Appreciate you brother 👍
As someone who is on hair loss meds and trying the tressless route, your content is absolutely great.
This industry is absolutely vile. I see so many HT patients on Reddit that were told to take all sorts of useless shit because their surgeon didn’t want to tell them they should take risky meds for life if they want a HT and as a result see a lot of their potential customers put off by the idea that HTs aren’t actually a magical permanent fix for hair loss.
Many guys treat baldness as the ultimate curse. I suspect they'd rather get diagnosed with lupus than see a tiny bald spot on their scalp.
The funny thing is finasteride give people Auto immune disorders very similar to lupus
Haha you're not wrong, when I got diagnosed with Male pattern baldness I felt like I got told I had Cancer. Very dramatic I know, I've calmed down a bit now.

Back in the 90's balding men weren't a problem in medias.
That's because recieving a good hair transplant back in the 90's was actually rare, and women in general weren't nearly as looks hungry as they are today
True,Clint Eastwood and Jack Nickolson were Norwood 600s and women loved them

@@michaelangst6078 in france there is no old or young tv host who is bald, they all hide it with fake hair etc
The treatment rooms in london are brilliant. Advised me against the need for a procedure yet and have been so sensible with potential hairlines, refusal to go too low etc
If reincarnation exists this hair growth influencer is gonna be on an infinite balding loop.
Some of these guys really mistook their big foreheads for receding hairlines
I honestly think one of the reasons why people fall for such scammers is that the proven and safe treatments (fin and min, but especially fin) are portrayed as something dangerous, and it comes down to choosing between your health and your hair. This is factually wrong (2% incidence of side effects, no proof for persistent side effects). But since people are made to believe that it comes down to choosing between your hair and your health, they look for 'alternative' treatments out of desperation. If people were just objective about finasteride, then there wouldn’t be so much fear around taking it and way less incentive to listen to such scammers.
Unfortunately, you've already given into the fear-mongering yourself. I like your channel and I think it helps many people deal with baldness. I just hope you understand why I think spreading unwarranted fear about finasteride (and sometimes even minoxidil) contributes to people falling for scammers.
This is bad advice because messing with hormones can have dire consequences. My body can't tolerate fin and it sucks, but I know many guys who tried it and got off because of sides.
Respect for calling this out. I don't struggle with any form of hairloss but I can empathize with the difficulty for men becoming insecure about hairloss. We need to STOP the grifters
I only care about my health and well being right now in my life. I know I'm winning with this mindset.
Love ya Harry, never change bro. ✊
When I noticed my hair was getting really thin on top, I shaved it all off that same day just to understand how I would look being bold. After getting used to the change, I actually loved it. Now I let my hair grow out again and I'm not scared at all anymore for the hair loss.
Even if you still have quite some hair but its reclining, think about shaving it. It was a massive relief for me.
Sidenote: Somehow the reclining slowed down massively. The only thing I can think of that changed is reduction of stress, I never resorted to specialised products.
Look, as a guy who has been fighting hair loss (successfully) by means of medication and a minor hair transplant, I can tell you that it's not easy and requires dedication and sacrifice.
If you're a young dude experiencing hair loss, you're at a crossroad and need to ask yourself the following: Do you want to make the commitment to put in the mental and financial resources and time to eventually get your hair back and be happy? Or do you just want to accept the hair loss, move on and be happy? The worst thing you can do is be in some sort of mindset in-between the two extremes, because then you'll always be stuck wondering "what if I had actually committed to fighting hair loss?".
So take the time, choose which route you want to take, and stick to your guns. Both paths lead to happiness.
Why is medication still required after a transplant?
@@lookeshdas455 because hair loss is progressive. Finasteride slows down or even completely halts hairloss, but it doesn’t reverse it.
A hair transplant will add hair to the places where there isn’t any hair any more. A hair transplant is more like a “cosmetic touch up”, whereas finasteride will permanently halt the progressions of hair loss.
@@dallaslooksmaxxer3505 In your case did it halt it or slow it down?
@@dallaslooksmaxxer3505 As someone that is using these drugs myself, finasteride doesn't halt hair loss forever, it slows it down. If it actually halted it, it would be a miracle cure and everyone would just start taking it as soon as they turn 18, balding or not.
@@shubhankarmukherjee3401 It successfully halted it for 8 years now. But the future is uncertain. The longest study on finasteride was 10 years.
Just shaved my head yesterday. I was beginning to bald and I felt like I needed to do something. Also I didnt have any ideas for hairstyles because I dont care about my hair. So I jsut removed it. Less maintenance, looks badass on most people with a beard and it just makes you more secure. It removes a hidden insecurity, even if you dont acknowledge it.
I've studied MPB for over 12 years with using myself as the main test subject... I only tried ancient Indian, native American, Chinese, Japanese and Siamese herbs and extracts, even went into the Siberian route... It's been 8 years and let me tell you , it's 2 things:
A) external environment
B) INTERNAL CONDITIONS (PARTIALLY GENETICALLY BASED)
ANY TYPE OF DIET OR TOPICAL OINTMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS WILL ONLY COVER LIKE 5 - 30% MAXIMUM OF THE RESULT YOU WANT with 0 side effects...
So many issues to tackle it's an uphill battle that seems Never ending...
I don’t mean to come across as rude but when you say it’s 2 things (factors) that external and internal… aren’t those the only possible factors?
@@Baldcafe well, I mean that you can't narrow it down to just a hand full of things for each individual male on this earth. Yes, it's a combination of both, depending on your health condition, one will dominate the other on the effects it's has on your hair...
No offence taken, I followed your progress from the days you were in China.
Kind regards
@@Baldcafe it's mainly an internal progress that is actually similar to leucoderma. it's your immune system attacking healthy hair follicles, like with leucoderma it's the pigment hence de pigmentation...
Well, I would love to be on your podcast some day. Just a small TH-camr here.
@@Baldcafe I forgot to mention (my original point) that mainly men will focus on the internal aspect like: diet, supplements, topical ointments, etc... Not so on the external, your surroundings, what you come in contact with on a daily basis.
If you don't take yourself out of the toxic environment... And only focus on what you consume, you're skipping a large portion of the recovery aspect, what experts will never point out.
love this man
My attitude to this is exactly the same as women and makeup. Its the same issue. Societal beauty standards are so high and we are forced to feel insecure and to rhino these normal bodily things are unnatural when they are. When we fear these natural processes that causes frustration and vulnerability making us open to influence. This influence is typically to buy a product whether it does anything or not.
Hair loss industry is cashing in big time on means confidence. Be bald and proud!
A worrying number of celebrities have seemingly had hair transplants. I won't name names, but if more people in the public eye normalized baldness, the world would be a better place.
@@paulf6973 why would it be worrying that celebrities have had hair transplants?
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 Hmmm. Just to clarify, I'm not worried about the celebrities. Or worried in general.
I just mean it encourages the idea baldness is something to be ashamed about, or even unusual. Men lose their hair, some more quickly than others, but it happens
@@paulf6973 Women as a whole deifnately think baldness is unattarctive.. I dn't know why dudes are still coping on the internet saying the opposite.. When women are with pure bald guys, it's almost alwayys just because of his financial statyus unless he is very good looking
@@michaelangst6078 money and success far exceeds hair, bald or looks for women. If a bald man is rich and sucessful that's all he needs. Lol
@@michaelangst6078 Well most men will lose hair, to a degree, just as most women won't stay stick thin. The message this channel tries to present is that it's nothing to be ashamed about, and to embrace it (not imprisoned by combovers, fibres, hair systems...)
Keep these videos up so I can share them to my coworkers in their late 20s whos hair is also going
True! When you are desperate, especially if you have just started to experience hair loss, you will believe anything because you want to believe it! You throw all common sense out the window! This is definitely preying on the vulnerable! Can't stand people like that.
Been shaving my head every day for the last 3 year and never felt so confident
Me too!! Also since 2021. Hair never looked right on me anyway. I've always had hair like Seymour Skinner for some reason. I was happy to finally be rid of it.
Does your gf like the look?
@@Finn959 yes mate she even hated when I didn't shave my head for a few days
Yooooooo! 🔥💯✌🏽
@@rawkguy4896you are the minority though
Gran vídeo. La verdad es que veo a muchos chicos jóvenes que lo único que están es boicoteándose a sí mismos de cara al futuro. Están regando su futura ansiedad al comprar la creencia de que la pérdida de pelo solo tiene una salida posible: el trasplante o la medicación.
Como bien has explicado, ver a esos chicos (que tienen un pelo aparentemente sano) hacerse trasplantes (algunos hasta adelantando la línea de nacimiento del pelo de forma artificial) muestra la histeria e inseguridad que se está creando.
Y no parece difícil ver la relación existen entre esos comentarios en redes y estos trasplantes prematuros.
I do have to say: Bowers would definitely look badass with a shaven head! And not just him, but every man with hair loss looks better shaven imo, especially after watching the transformation videos on this channel.
Holly. I didn't realise how blessed I was to never care about my hair loss.
This video makes me ... want to have a hair transplant :)
I hope I'll be getting one in the near future.
Why?
top work!
Appreciated!
I think its generellay underestimated how many people suffer from body dismorphia, from consuming social media and talking about it is such an important thing to do. Just knowing there is a community of guys who share the same insecurity globally takes a lot of stress off me.
Male body shaming and insecurities has spread like wildfire online. Constant noise about height and baldness. It's beyond ridiculous
Yeah man it’s wild. Even grey hair!!
I cannot bring myself to being bald just yet, but in the future I might. Looksmaxxing had consumed me to an extent that I forgot that the optimal me isn't the happy me.
Don't believe the dudes just straight up lying here saying women like clean shaved heads etc...We know the truth is attractive women want to see attarctive hair on a man whether it is long or short....
@michaelangst6078 😂
@@michaelangst6078 Literal studies have shown it's equal both ways.
@@michaelangst6078 your height?
I truly wish this platform was around when i started wearing a hair system to deal with my balding back in 1987. Once you go the hair system route, it is like being addicted to drugs...you must keep on using it. And the money that you will spend is unfathomable. Plus you are always concerned about it coming off, losing hair from it, and not looking natural in strong light or when exercising. HT is a painful and money pit too. Unless you have very thick hair and plenty of it, you cannot fill a balding area. Rogaine/Propecia only works on the crown and not the front. Micro Grafts fade like any tattoo does, and looks way too conspicuous. I retired last year and now shave or buzz my head. I am 67 and still somewhat attentive to going somewhere without a cap but I am getting more comfortable at certain times. It is a problem when people always saw me with hair and now see me shaved. And I have to tell them.
I have very thick hair so surgery will help me .
I still don't have any sign if hair loss but still I afrrid.
"Normalize going bald."
That is great advice, sir. 👍
You're a good man Harry :)
