Hey Stephen. Thanks so much for sharing your story. It really is such a difficult thing to have to deal with, as we have such little control with it. Do you mind telling me what the spray was that you used? Hope you don’t mind me saying, you look really handsome with the new look. I keep thinking about shaving mine off, but I have big head/high forehead, and just not sure I would handle that! Best wishes to you buddy, from Australia.
I found this channel two days ago, watched the videos feverishly untill late in the night, and yesterday I shaved my head after YEARS of feeling selfconcious everytime I went out. It sounds weird maybe, but it means a lot to me.
Today at the gym I saw a commercial for hair thinning and it made me mad! like there is something wrong with going bald!!?? guys, listen, embrace it!!! don't let society beat you down, bald is better...shave it and move on!!!
Being bald so soon was freaking me out, but once I started making jokes about myself and laught about it and don't make it a big deal, it all changed..people see me more confident now..Its a normal process for us men, don't be sad folks, you guys still look hot as f?ck don't matter what...
This is the best TH-cam channel hands down, you help so many people who are struggling with challenge of facing hair loss. A well deserved 200k subs 👍☝️😎
I started losing my hair around 18,it was a very slow process. I managed to hold onto my hair into my 30s. And then it was time for the shave 😲 it was a great weight off my shoulders. I was the same I had baseball caps on all the time I would avoid social functions. I just had to brave the shave and I went out and got on with life. One thing I always told myself was that other people don't give a shit about your hair or your life or anything else. People are wrapped up in there own lives to care about your hair! It really is your own thoughts thinking the worst about balding and how people think about your hair. Always remember this when you are going for your first buzz cut 👌
Well done mate confidence has been boosted and so suits you, I like you had crown thinning which I hated it's certainly the worst way of going bald but went first to a one buzz all over and within a short period of time down to a 0 and now headblade every few days, so wish had done it years ago
Men may notice other men going bald because they themselves are struggling with hair loss. Cannot speak for ALL ladies, but we don't look at men's heads and their bald spots and pass judgment based on that. ❤ I myself notice smile, eyes and hands in that order. You are handsome bald.
Harry do you find your scalp changes over time when being bald ? Like in the first years maybe dryer and shiner and maybe over time the skin changes and adapts ? Shinier or less shined over time oil or less oil over Time? Love the story’s as always ☺
Mine improved. I suffered for years with bad dandruff, itchy scalp from sebhoric dermatitis and it completely disappeared once I started shaving my head. I'm not sure if the dermatitis caused my hair loss to begin with but I'm glad to say I no longer have that problem.
I started balding at 35, and was almost fully bald at 40. At some point you have to start shaving your head, which is super tough when you're self-conscious about it, but eventually you get used to it. A baseball cap became my new best friend, and I still wear them a lot.
I wish I Started losing my hair at 35! My hairline started receding at 22 and by the time I was 25, I had lost it all, or most of it. I don’t mind though, because my confidence went way up after rocking a bald head.
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk Sometmes. It took me about 5 years to go fully bald, so I had time to get used to it. Being bald or wearing a hat has never been a big issue for me. The only thing for me is shaving my head every few weeks to keep things trim.
Let me give you balding guys some confidence. Have been following and checking bald cafe and smp for like 8 years and finally decided to go bald look. Holding back the balding spot for 25 years. Few main reasons, I like the hair feelings, get to shampoo the tiny hair and doesn't want to looks completely bald, career relation, parents and spouse always prefer balding and still looks good with that small chunk of messy hair on top and laid back lifestyle refused to shave or trim every alternate days for whatever reason. Concern about bald head structure might looks weird and many more. All the nice Consolation compliement. Finally, after all the personal reasons and most importantly all guys and male siblings have been asking and mocking, what the heck you holding onto the balding while you can choose to looks much better and way younger??? What the hell man ? Denying this for years. At last I did it. With light Smp. Lets not talk about the changes. I gained my FREEDOM ! Against the Wind ! That's all I want to share here.
I got courage to rock the buzz cut love the easy maintenance not bald but going for the Jason Statham look. Focusing on fitness for now maybe one day will try bald but finally comfortable with buzz look
I had a hair transplant scheduled for September. I began buzzing the head to live with what my genetics had in store for me in the near future. It did not take long for me to feel comfortable with my new look. Knowing I had a hair transplant scheduled helped me continue the look, knowing I had a solution on the horizon. I ended up second guessing my need for a hair transplant after having lived with this new look for months now. I even razored the head last night. My irrational fear of going bald was something I look back at and laugh. The hair transplant is now canceled and I’ve accepted my new look. Running from your insecurities will never end well, and a hair transplant does not replace the DHT sensitive hair completely.. Accept you for you and face those insecurities head on. You’ll thank yourself later.
Dude I'm 18 and have no idea what's going on but my hair is thinning fast. I know all of you guys are older and much more comfortable but I can't let it go yet. But if it's alopecia then I'll have to face the same decision as you. Anyway I can gain confidence while making the change look normal? A lot of people know me for having hair and so if I just go bald like that (I'm in uni) I honestly don't know how people would react. I'm insecure like that
@@aunmaqsood3129 I get it, I noticed my thinning when I was 21. Finasteride and Minoxidil were great in keeping my hair loss at a standstill. I just turned 30 and decided to buzz the look. You’re more than likely suffering from male pattern baldness. I’d advise you to go to a dermatologist and jump on some treatment. Inevitably, you’ll be bald, but can slow the process if you act fast enough.
I love shaving my head and have done since I was 28 years old. Can't imagine myself any other way although once it gets to 3 days length unshaved I do have a thing about not wanting to many people to see it but that kind of goes away with age and once you become more assured of yourself you'll stop giving a toss what people think of you as often they are too busy worrying about themselves. Don't let your insecurities rule you: take control of them. However, as a very pale guy living in an extremely hot country (often 33°C here in Summer ) I do still have to use a baseball cap everywhere outdoors in the summer as otherwise I'm at high risk of skin cancer and nobody, nobody wants a burn on their scalp. But those cons aside, bald is awesome. You look more dominant, more masculine, heck you even feel it. It looks clean when shaved regularly and with a beard it gives an air of wisdom and confidence about yourself.
Harry can we get an update on your hair? Either pictures or a 360 spin, a quick video or an Instagram post would be awesome, I'm just very curious. Thanks, Matt.
@8:28 Stephen has beautiful teeth and smile! I don't know why TH-cam recommended this video to me. But since I'm watching it, I thought I'd say that. I hope it is okay to say that. Oh! One of my first crushes in high school barely had any hair! He is famous now. You would know him if I said his name. One of the smartest, funniest, loveliest guys I've ever known. And the current love of my life and best relationship I've ever had doesn't have hair either. Be careful though, he did have to have a little growth removed - so wear your sunscreen (maybe that is why I'm supposed to leave a comment).
Bald cafe hey how can i get on the show i got the video of my kids cutting my hair because i was goin bald and one of my kids was crying cause he tod he was lossing me ..😅😅
@stephen I felt that as if I am explaining instead of you ,I almost have similar views with respect to my head. There is some mismatch in alignment of the left and right side of my head ( please correct me if I heard it wrong 😊 ) .My bald spots developed in that area which I felt while working/decision making that "it's not working from that point on my head " .
I find it quite irritating that people find it necessary to tell another person they're going bald... Seriously... 99% already know this is happening, people blurting it out so blatant like that have no idea what it can do to someones morale and confidence especially when it's already low to begin with 😂 just ignorance really.
My favorite was when I guy I know (an arrogant prick if I ever met one) tried to mock me for being bald (by choice I should add due to having bad dermatitis of the scalp) and pointed to him at least having a full head of hair. Well, fast forward 2 years and his hairline is receding quickly. In fact, he is so worried about it he Googles hair transplants all the time. Karma is a you know what 🤣
@@alaskanwhiskeyare you really understanding the “balding insecurity” thing ? 😂 You must be a god of confidence in order to rock that hair, and to manage a channel called “bald cafe » also btw
Dear my bald brothers, can anyone recommend a good head Moisturizer? Looking for sth as natural as possible.. like Harry's cream which he does not produce/sell anymore? SPF would be a plus! Thank you
I loved Balding . I just shave my whole head . Got a receiting hairline . Lost my hair in my early 20’s so I finally decided shave it off . Can’t fight genettics bro
You can say i loved the bald look, but no one loves the balding process its so depressing when you see your hairline moving back and your hair getting thinner a month by month
I want to shave the worries, i am 20 years old and bald almost like him. but i have no beard and my head is like an egg lmao every time i say i will shave it i cant.
Watching this guy I'm like he's totally fine and it wouldn't even cross my mind to judge him about his hair loss and yet I am as self conscious about my own hair loss as he is. The truth is nobody cares, especially women for that matter. How succesful you are? Sure. How tall you are? Sure. How good looking you are? Sure. But hair loss is just not there.
@@winwinwin282828 next time listen to a story before commenting,everyone with a disability has a different story, like everyone else, so don’t talk like you know everyone and everything.😊😂
@stephendonahue6021 sorry if you want to use this kind of headlines and bait people to click on your video and watch it, I can't be bothered. I m just commenting on your headline.

Why wearing a baseball cap if you are confident with your shaved head?
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk For comfort and to keep my head warm, and to stop getting sunburnt in the summer.
@@SewTubular so basically you never show your head. Do you wear it even inside places?
