I think he'd benefit greatly from an hair transplant, still thick in the middle and very dense on the back, they could harvest a lot of follicles to cover those areas and rock great hair for at least another decade.
glad young men have access to this channel and others. 33 years ago i was an 18 yr old kid with extreme anxiety and self imposed embarrassment for having a receding hairline. did rogaine, may sure to keep it a secret as i didnt want anyone to know. now i'm just a bald 51 year old that couldn't really care less. i wear a hat when i'm in the sun, as now i'm more concerned about sun damage to my dome. all i can say to you guys out there losing your hair, life goes on and so will you. you are better than your hair.
I am enjoying watching this channel. Then I read the comments, and it's a lot of guys that have triumphed over adversity and are cool with being bald and a lot of guys who simply cannot seem to accept it and are super toxic about it, saying every bald man is ugly and doomed. If you're losing your hair, which one of those guys do you wanna be?
I've been watching this channel lately and it's helped me to be brave and to have first ever buzz cut in my 47yrs!!! It is scary but everyone who has seen me since my buzz cut (two weeks ago) says it really suits me,now I took notice other bald men and think how good it looks in others,keep the channel going!!!❤
nah his frontal hairline is almost as bad and bald as it could be... comb over makes it looks cool and thick but imagine in party or swimming or in the air outside... it sucks. trust me...
When you first start losing your hair it is truly horrible! More so, if you're young! However, own it and do not feel embarrassed! Feel proud and shave it down and be free! That's my best advice! 🙏
Interesting to see a man who is taking meds hop off them despite having great hair. As someone who is on fin and min I don’t see myself stopping unless it stops working.
@hydrachamp6036 it's different for everyone. I was on Keeps a while back and about a month into it I started to break out really bad. Mind you I was about 28 at the time and never had acne problems in my life. 1 pimple every couple weeks max. I believe it caused a huge hormone imbalance and caused me to break out bad. After I dropped Keeps I had to take natural antioxidant acne medication for about 2 months and everything has been back to normal since. Fin and min definitely works and starts to make changes to your body a couple weeks in. Just be cautious because it affects people differently.
Same. These dudes do look better after they buzz then the thinnig hair they have, but they still don't look good most of the time, just better than before. Every guy should try to save their hair if they can, especially if it happens in your 20's.
IMHO... He looked better with the luscious locks. He shouldn't let others drag him down to their level based out of jealousy. Rock that hair with pride.
Another perspective: I've been on fin for something like 6 years and still take it daily, with no discernible side effects. I don't even think about my hair anymore, because it's no longer receding. Just to say there are also success stories taking fin - but obviously if you still worry about hairs falling out or otherwise don't get peace from taking fin, I like the approach this guy has taken.
is fin all you take? Considering getting onto some form of medications to prevent losing my hair just yet. I don’t mind going bald further down the line but I’m quite young lol

The “secret” wasn’t actually revealed because he still has a thick head of hair. His frontotemporal regions show only minor recession, and his forelock remains dense. He hasn’t experienced any significant hair loss, so now he’s setting himself up for a rude awakening when he finally “reveals his secret.” Bear in mind, he hasn’t even shaved his head in the video, meaning he’s yet to understand how permanently embracing baldness will truly feel. If he genuinely wanted to take this step, he should have gone all-in by shaving his head while continuing Finasteride. Stopping treatment altogether not only closes the door but leads to irreversible damage-once it’s gone, there’s no going back. It’s like giving up brushing your teeth, only to realize too late the damage is permanent.
This video is so beautiful and touching.... Love this channel ❤ I also stopped taking finasteride some years ago, and then (while I could) started the beautiful journey of freeform dreads.

This dude has the same hairline and worries as me. Thick hair. But don't let it fool you. What's there is there and it's mentally draining. I want to do a video like this
Shaved my head recently, took me years to get the courage to do it, if it wasn't for your videos I would not have found the confidence to do it. Now I feel great. Weird fact is, somebody I knew said I had years left, but I still didn't feel great with hair. A weight has been lifted, quite literally! I found it much harder because mine was just recession (norward 3), so I felt like I had to hold on. We always a have a choice.
buzzcuts only look masculine if you have a full square hairline, buzzcuts on a receding hairline just look bad. I'd either shave it or grow it back out if I was him
@@fightingpride5731 T-Series has way more subscribers than Vsauce. Does that necessarily mean they're better? Not hating on Baldcafe or anything but you don't have a point
Subs are not an indicator of quality. BaldCafe is a cool channel but the message he pushes is not ideal for everyone. Baldcafe can pull off being bald only because he is white, tall, and extremely handsome.
I like how he talks about dancing and it actually creates this beautiful metaphor. Indeed to be able to be fully present in the now, not only in dancing but also in life. Instead of being half present and half hiding in this limited moments of life we have.
I am so proud and happy for this man and others who just what to overcome and move forward in life in this journey. We are men and what we do defines us not our hair or whatever what we do not have control. I am just focus on my healthy physical, mental and emotional. Relationship with God reminds me not to be overly attached in temporal matters in this life. Just meaning to make my life in the best possible way.
Out of everyone on the channel. He might have the most hair out of everyone. Everybody else was balding pretty bad. This guy was too but he could hide it well.
This guy most definitely shouldn't have shaved his head. There is nothing wrong with his hair just a recessed hairline which wasnt even bad. This is complete Insanity
@@Dexter98714 You just pop a pill in your mouth and you're done. It's not complicated or expensive. The side effects can be concerning though, but he didn't have any of them
@@tonygabashvili8357 Bruh,only taking it for 10 years its insane tbh,not worth at all imo. And you never know about side effects,fact is they r not healthy.
Going bald is not usually a medical "condition", just genetics. So, a good decision to stop taking those strong drugs and embrace the inevitable. Several comments indicate a lack of understanding that the baldness will accelerate without the drugs, and a lifetime of those drugs comes with a host of side effects that are unnecessary. And he looks hot 👍
Never take finastride more than once in a 24 hour period. You’re not only making the chance of side effects more likely. You aren’t doing anything for your hair by taking it in bulk. 1mg is just as affective for hair as a 5mg pill. This med started as a treatment for enlarge prostates. Unless you have that issue there is no reason to take more than 1 MG
First of all you are very good looking and be grateful to God. Secondly your hair are good, you can still go for the hairline transplant you will do great trust me.
Actually his hair looks pretty good. The hairline doesnt look too bad either. Pretty thick head of hair to be honest. But hey whatever makes him happy now. He can always grow it back later if he chooses. But the buzz cut looks good. Much better than the skin shave probably would have.
Damn, my hair line is receding way more and I’m balding lightly on my crown and still rocking my hair confidently. I know eventually I’ll shave it off. Fix your inner first. This guy did not have to shave. He needs to love himself first.
That’s where hair loss takes many men. It’s a tough reality to face and a lot of guys hate to see someone be able to accept it when they can’t. It’s unfortunate
Reading through the comments is really frustrating, because (besides the homophobic comments) everyone is just saying that he didn't need to shave or that he should do a transplant, completely missing the point and not even trying to empathize with him and understanding his reasons. I'm in a similar condition as him, watching this video made me feel seen. Thank you.
I’m glad you can see the true value in this man 👍 unfortunately a lot of people totally missing the point blinded by negativity and insecurity. The industry is in a sorry state.
It was the best thing ever to not give a f and just start shaving. I looked better than I had in years. Still got my beard, tattoos, muscles and personality. Hair ain't a big deal
This is one perspective in the video, I'll add mine: I go to the gym 6 days a week, I brush my teeth, I bathe, I work, I meal prep...spending 3 seconds to take a small white pill a day to retain my hair is the least of my concern nor do I even think about my hair or being bald. He says the fear of being bald is there with finasteride so he ends up going bald anyways? It's like saying you have a fear of cancer but then you start smoking cigarettes to just get the cancer already and over with it so you don't need to worry about it.
It’s not the time it takes to swallow the pill. It’s the long term dependency on it to keep him happy and never actually being fully content with himself is what he is largely saying. Something I do find interesting though so I’d love to hear your thoughts. If you never think about your hair what being you to channels like Baldcafe?
@@Baldcafewe are being on your channel for fun and entertainment. Also interesting to see others perspective on hairloss etc... I also saved my hair (been on meds for more than 10 years). But I still occasionally check out on hairloss channels cause it's entertaining to me. I like to watch these videos while taking my morning coffee ☕️ . Watching baldcafe / haircafe / Matt Dominance etc.. doesn't necessarily mean you are still " worried " about your hairloss . We just find the topic interesting and entertaining. That's it. It's not that deep mate :) . I know you always think people are stressed etc.. that they watch something because they see themselves in the videos etc... but not everyone is the same. A lot of people are stressed but also a lot of people just find it genuinely interesting and entertaining and like to learn new stuff about how people think, or how a new hairloss medication is working etc etc...
@@Baldcafe I watched the video and understood his words. And again, that makes no sense. It's akin to saying that I won't go to the gym because I'm never happy with my physique and depend on the gym to keep me slim, and therefore I'll just give up and start eating myself to death. It's like someone saying they don't want to depend on life saving medication so they'll just end it right there because they don't like dependency. Do you stop brushing your teeth because you don't want to depend on toothpaste? I would understand if he said he didn't like the results finasteride gave him so he just shaved it, but this idea of dependency and being let "free" as if he was some sort of slave to the drug is such a bizarre notion. He isn't happy about losing his hair nor is he happy he is bald. He's doing what every other bald man does which is acceptance. Acceptance is *not* the same thing as happiness. This guy has some other issues going on and the precise point of this video is for other bald men to feel better about having missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime to save their hair. They feel the need to justify their poor decision making and regret. I'm not on this channel because I worry about my hair, I'm on this channel to see what it's like for a bunch of other bald men who regret not taking treatment and saving their hair and my goodness it is truly an eye opening experience with videos like this. If you think I'm on this channel because I worry about my hair, what does it say when bald men are on this channel watching this video? Perhaps using it as a coping mechanism?
Damn his isn’t bad. He has good hair thickness and looks good. Just receded in front. I’m all thinning all over place. But mainly crown bald spot and front piece looks faded but not to bad.
He looked epic with his head of hair...super healthy looking.. I didn't even see he was losing any hair.. but it's more important he is happier without it... everyone is different.
Soy español , me atormenta la caida del cabello desde hace 6 años … depresion , ansiedad , problemas con mi mujer por esta inseguridad me realize un transplante capilar , con el que no quede satisfecho .. y vivo en un infierno , apenas salgo de casa por esta mierd4… mañana tengo barbero y no me atrevo a dar el paso , pero ganas no me faltan para volver a ser feliz como antes con o sin pelo …
His hair, his choice but he really didn't need to shave his head. Apart from some recession he had great looking hair and honestly looked a lot better beforehand.
I learned not to give a damn to what other people think thanks to a colleage. I was a busdriver and it was the time Corona kicked in so the barber shops were closed. This colleage was 40 years old and had amazing thick hair. And all of a sudden he came to work next day with a fully shaved head, only showing bare skin. Imagine the reactions he got from other colleages but also the passengers, we drove only 1 line so I am sure he also got reactions from them.
My hair is receding as well i am 35 but i still have thick hair, only on the sides of front are little bit receded by age 31….The side parts….But you both look great bald dude, both of you are good looking lads, no gay. Bald on me? Hell no bro i would be ugly. Bald don’t fit on everyone. I feel bad for the people who losing their hair. It sucks….Thanks for the video mate. Very entertaining and inspiring content, you’re boosting those men confidence. Really good job.
He is just born with a long receding hairline.... if he is happy good for him but this guy can go to turkey and actually achieve the best results EVER.
@@tylerffgaming2424transplanted hair fall out due to dht stop spreading lies. It just takes longer. But at the end of the day, without fin his transplanted hair will continue to fall
@@Baldcafe why do some people retain their hair well into old age despite having a receding hairline. Isn't a receding hairline actually just a natural thing as you get older for a lot of people and not necessarily signs of impending baldness?
@@vix2740it's not just about his receding hairline, he still got rest of his hairs because of finasteride, now that he stopped taking it the hairloss will continue
I started loosing hair 2 years ago after taking blood pressure medication and was diagnosed with medical induced alopecia. I used those blood pressure meds for 6 months and stopped, seems like hairs doesn't fall of any more, but the question is will they grow back? Doc says follicles are still alive, but cant tell how much time it's gonna take to grow the hairs back. Is anyone here who have same experience?
Make sure to take some high quality multivitamins, give your body what it needs to regrow hair. Take collagen, put high quality castor oil on your head. Improve circulation/bloodflow. Hair is the last thing the body takes care of if you’re missing nutrients. It might not help but it can’t hurt to start with what I’ve said.
When you say work you mean it slowed/halted the rate of his balding. What is largely overlooked is that it doesn’t truly rid you of the concern over going bald. For that you must accept it and recognise that it isn’t actually a problem to go bald. Then you are free and don’t even need drugs etc. 👍
@@Baldcafe if finasteride slowed then he could use dutasteride. It is almost impossible for him to stop his hairloss with dutasteride. its a very strong medication. also there is minoxidil, ru58841, hair transplants, hair systems etc. why you should go bald while you have many options to fight against it? if nothing works which is a very slim chance, then there is nothing to do.
This person has a very all or nothing type of personality. He mentioned taking finasteride and it’s been 10 years. If he hadn’t taken it, he would’ve been more bald. How would you know? 10 years is a mighty long time in a human life span and losing hair isn’t finite.. over a decade we would surely see less..he mentions over training and not accepting what you have.. as I listen I’m reminded that these are extremes and there is a middle. Working out 3 times a week is great for you.. taking finasteride 3x per week.. is good you might have had contraindications for 1mg daily because some people are a super absorbers..some people do not and release the drug quicker and some do even less,use your own body’s signals to determine if you need to lower dosage . I’ve even seen 2x per week-divide with equal distance of time between having an affect. He mentioned hating minoxidil, he didn’t have to use that particular type. There’s foams, there’s pills.. it’s a stimulator not a DHT blocker so they are different modalities of action than finasteride. 1x per day is all that is needed for minoxidil, i recommend before bed. Half-life of minoxidil is 22 hours so no need for 2x daily.
Guys, it used to be much more before but less now the pp size, now its the baldness... Do you see how people treat balding guys, you seen that bald dude on tiktok? They laugh at his face? Pointing their finer at him and laughing. Imagine, it's like we went into a time machine. It's another body dysmorphia being created, and a real bad one at that. Do you know how balding people feel? Did you stop to watch and listen to their talks of being ashamed to leave the house cause of the wind or rain, go to the beach, constantly looking for mirrors trying to mask it, cover it, disguise it. What happens? Men who ain't even balding that hard start getting treatment which is fine, their body their life, but then, remember, sure some cases are more severe but you got guys like this who shave their head FOR WRONG REASONS. Don't shave your head cause you're worried about somebody not liking you. If you feel it would suit you head more and sure some heads are just means for no hair i mean i saw this Buddhist guy on a podcast who was Caucasian and he looked amazing. Every feature of his face just shined more. I bet he ain't doing it cause he feel dread or like a living corpse or being afraid of being mocked by people. But so many guys ain't even balding. I used to and still do have small widow peaks. It happened when i was 18 the corners of my hair went gray and kind of just went away. Years went by and i meet a guy who's only got the back of his head so he wears a had even if it's the hottest day of the year. And he compliments my density and says like "yeah i would give my arm to have hair like your's" and i'm being nice, i tell him naah i used to rock short hair see, and i had really to spread the jungle to show him the small peaks. And he tells me to shave it off cause it will go all off in 2 months. How many time has it been since then? Ehh i'd say 6 years. I have the same hairline as i did when i spoke to him. So please guys, at least don't make it bother you, if you get to a point where you are truly, without a doubt just losing bunch of hair go to a doctor. If he redirects you to a shrink, you're fine :) Sending pisitive vibes to everyone, especially people struggling, i've seen some videos of such nice guys with such good hair, throwing it away, again, for wrong reasons.
@DanthaManYO Suddenly after 6 years of continuous use he has side effects? I would look for the cause somewhere else. Some people have poined out in the comments that he may have anxiety.
@lordwiadro83 I am not saying he had them. People reported sides in much shorter time frame tho. I can't even imagine how can it be after 5 or 10 years.
I know that we are all different. But omg you got great hair. Just a little bit high in the temples. I would just go for a hairtransplantation by the temples. And the you would have the greates hair ever❤.
This is wild. It just shows how effectivement finasteride is. I started balding very bad at 18 and I've been on hairloss meds starting from 20 until nowadays. Still have a solid Norwood 2 and i don't plan to ever stop these meds. I was supposed to be a Norwood 4 - 5 by the age of 30. I'm now 32 years old with what most people would consider " a full head of hair " . I'm truly glad I'm on both dutasteride and minoxidil nowadays. Edit : just finished the video and I still absolutely don't get why this man truly felt bad about saving his hair . His hair looks fantastic and taking a pill a day is just so easy. I think he has anxiety problems or some other issues I don't know .. 😕

Weird fact is, somebody I knew said I had years left, but I still didn't feel great with hair. A weight has been lifted, quite literally! I found it much harder because mine was just recession (norward 3), so I felt like I had to hold on. We always a have a choice.
Finally, you’re at peace now. You are beautiful the way you are.
💯
He seems liberated. He really made the right decision.
He will probably even not need to razor shave his head (or perhaps he will try and like it).
Liberated is a perfect word 👍
He isn't even bald, basic receding hairline, common...
Watch the whole video to gain some perspective
@@Baldcafe You tell people with minimal hairloss to just give up.. it's sad.
@@vaastafraja5685I don't think I've ever seen Harry tell anyone to do anything.
Thats just mild receding not even a issue
@@vaastafraja5685it’s not minimal the dude clearly a Norwood 3 and he’s hiding it by growing his bangs out
Good for him to graduate from the boy look to a manly masculine look. He looks awesome!
buzzcuts only look masculine if you have a full square hairline, buzzcuts on a receding hairline just look bad. I'd either shave it or grow it back out if I was him
Haircafe > Baldcafe
Baldcafe = 5X more subscribers.
@@fightingpride5731 T-Series has way more subscribers than Vsauce. Does that necessarily mean they're better? Not hating on Baldcafe or anything but you don't have a point
@@fightingpride5731people like the easy route or the coping route
Subs are not an indicator of quality.
BaldCafe is a cool channel but the message he pushes is not ideal for everyone.
Baldcafe can pull off being bald only because he is white, tall, and extremely handsome.
@@Alex.JensenAlso charismatic
I like how he talks about dancing and it actually creates this beautiful metaphor. Indeed to be able to be fully present in the now, not only in dancing but also in life. Instead of being half present and half hiding in this limited moments of life we have.
Some of us here would love this hairline tbh. I get the thought process behind it tho.
I am so proud and happy for this man and others who just what to overcome and move forward in life in this journey. We are men and what we do defines us not our hair or whatever what we do not have control. I am just focus on my healthy physical, mental and emotional. Relationship with God reminds me not to be overly attached in temporal matters in this life. Just meaning to make my life in the best possible way.
Life is definitely not about doing things only you want
Life is about the wider community and playing an active and compassionate role within it
Out of everyone on the channel. He might have the most hair out of everyone. Everybody else was balding pretty bad. This guy was too but he could hide it well.
probably bc he's the only one properly using fin before. most guys on the channel dont bother 🤣
This guy most definitely shouldn't have shaved his head. There is nothing wrong with his hair just a recessed hairline which wasnt even bad. This is complete Insanity
Shows you how much of a mental game balding is. It’s all psychological. Should be a wake up for many
Not only that but with that buzz cut it just accentuates how much his hairline has receded, like he made his problem significantly worse for no reason
Imagine taking meds for 10 years?
I would do the same,prolly earlier than he did it.
@@Dexter98714 You just pop a pill in your mouth and you're done. It's not complicated or expensive. The side effects can be concerning though, but he didn't have any of them
@@tonygabashvili8357 Bruh,only taking it for 10 years its insane tbh,not worth at all imo.
And you never know about side effects,fact is they r not healthy.
Going bald is not usually a medical "condition", just genetics. So, a good decision to stop taking those strong drugs and embrace the inevitable. Several comments indicate a lack of understanding that the baldness will accelerate without the drugs, and a lifetime of those drugs comes with a host of side effects that are unnecessary. And he looks hot 👍
Never take finastride more than once in a 24 hour period. You’re not only making the chance of side effects more likely. You aren’t doing anything for your hair by taking it in bulk. 1mg is just as affective for hair as a 5mg pill. This med started as a treatment for enlarge prostates. Unless you have that issue there is no reason to take more than 1 MG
True. In Korea the dosis is actually 0.5mg
First of all you are very good looking and be grateful to God. Secondly your hair are good, you can still go for the hairline transplant you will do great trust me.
Actually his hair looks pretty good. The hairline doesnt look too bad either. Pretty thick head of hair to be honest. But hey whatever makes him happy now. He can always grow it back later if he chooses. But the buzz cut looks good. Much better than the skin shave probably would have.
with a transplant he would be fine actually. his hair thickness is good.
Welcome to the club! Looks great.
He looked better and like 12 years younger with hair but if this makes him feel better and happy I’m all for it.
You still have a whole lot of thick hair up there man! Its not even that bad...
Damn, my hair line is receding way more and I’m balding lightly on my crown and still rocking my hair confidently. I know eventually I’ll shave it off.
Fix your inner first. This guy did not have to shave. He needs to love himself first.
Thats exactly what he is doing. Did you listen to what he was saying?
"jUst ShAvE It BRo"
Another salty guy totally missing the point. Hate all you want it won’t do anything for you.
I used to shave my head through all of my 20s. I respect this guy. It'll transform you if you let it.
There is so much cope and desperation in the comments
That’s where hair loss takes many men. It’s a tough reality to face and a lot of guys hate to see someone be able to accept it when they can’t. It’s unfortunate
@@Baldcafe fr, when I get bald I will just shave my head
@@SuperZX49its not cope. Hairloss can be stopped and reversed lmao. Dht is a trash hormone
Nah bro he looked SO GOOD with hair… out of all the people on he he’s probably the only one that 100% SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT!!!
I look forward to these videos.
Reading through the comments is really frustrating, because (besides the homophobic comments) everyone is just saying that he didn't need to shave or that he should do a transplant, completely missing the point and not even trying to empathize with him and understanding his reasons. I'm in a similar condition as him, watching this video made me feel seen. Thank you.
I’m glad you can see the true value in this man 👍 unfortunately a lot of people totally missing the point blinded by negativity and insecurity. The industry is in a sorry state.
It was the best thing ever to not give a f and just start shaving. I looked better than I had in years. Still got my beard, tattoos, muscles and personality. Hair ain't a big deal
Buzzcut = looks older but more manly
Messy hair = looks younger but more nerdy
Crew cut or cut as short as possible and go for mild SMP. Look for the finest artist out there. Trust me, it can fit you completely.
The look suits him really well, plus his attitude is also great
This is one perspective in the video, I'll add mine: I go to the gym 6 days a week, I brush my teeth, I bathe, I work, I meal prep...spending 3 seconds to take a small white pill a day to retain my hair is the least of my concern nor do I even think about my hair or being bald. He says the fear of being bald is there with finasteride so he ends up going bald anyways? It's like saying you have a fear of cancer but then you start smoking cigarettes to just get the cancer already and over with it so you don't need to worry about it.
It’s not the time it takes to swallow the pill. It’s the long term dependency on it to keep him happy and never actually being fully content with himself is what he is largely saying. Something I do find interesting though so I’d love to hear your thoughts. If you never think about your hair what being you to channels like Baldcafe?
@@Baldcafewe are being on your channel for fun and entertainment. Also interesting to see others perspective on hairloss etc...
I also saved my hair (been on meds for more than 10 years). But I still occasionally check out on hairloss channels cause it's entertaining to me. I like to watch these videos while taking my morning coffee ☕️ .
Watching baldcafe / haircafe / Matt Dominance etc.. doesn't necessarily mean you are still " worried " about your hairloss .
We just find the topic interesting and entertaining. That's it. It's not that deep mate :) .
I know you always think people are stressed etc.. that they watch something because they see themselves in the videos etc... but not everyone is the same.
A lot of people are stressed but also a lot of people just find it genuinely interesting and entertaining and like to learn new stuff about how people think, or how a new hairloss medication is working etc etc...
@@Baldcafe I watched the video and understood his words. And again, that makes no sense. It's akin to saying that I won't go to the gym because I'm never happy with my physique and depend on the gym to keep me slim, and therefore I'll just give up and start eating myself to death. It's like someone saying they don't want to depend on life saving medication so they'll just end it right there because they don't like dependency. Do you stop brushing your teeth because you don't want to depend on toothpaste? I would understand if he said he didn't like the results finasteride gave him so he just shaved it, but this idea of dependency and being let "free" as if he was some sort of slave to the drug is such a bizarre notion. He isn't happy about losing his hair nor is he happy he is bald. He's doing what every other bald man does which is acceptance. Acceptance is *not* the same thing as happiness.
This guy has some other issues going on and the precise point of this video is for other bald men to feel better about having missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime to save their hair. They feel the need to justify their poor decision making and regret.
I'm not on this channel because I worry about my hair, I'm on this channel to see what it's like for a bunch of other bald men who regret not taking treatment and saving their hair and my goodness it is truly an eye opening experience with videos like this. If you think I'm on this channel because I worry about my hair, what does it say when bald men are on this channel watching this video? Perhaps using it as a coping mechanism?
@FIRSTLAST-xd6rn you said it all. I couldn't agree more
@@FIRSTLAST-xd6rn This has to be pinned 📌
I like this new perspective. Every person has a different story
Damn his isn’t bad. He has good hair thickness and looks good. Just receded in front. I’m all thinning all over place. But mainly crown bald spot and front piece looks faded but not to bad.
Looks so much better 👍🏼
He looked epic with his head of hair...super healthy looking.. I didn't even see he was losing any hair.. but it's more important he is happier without it... everyone is different.
Soy español , me atormenta la caida del cabello desde hace 6 años … depresion , ansiedad , problemas con mi mujer por esta inseguridad me realize un transplante capilar , con el que no quede satisfecho .. y vivo en un infierno , apenas salgo de casa por esta mierd4… mañana tengo barbero y no me atrevo a dar el paso , pero ganas no me faltan para volver a ser feliz como antes con o sin pelo …
He can always get a hairtransplant cause his hair is really thick.
not if he doesn't get back on fin asap. AGA rarely stabilizes. can't get a transplant as a NW7, which he eventually will be
A very good message
Love your vids! Thanks for posting such encouraging content.
His hair, his choice but he really didn't need to shave his head. Apart from some recession he had great looking hair and honestly looked a lot better beforehand.
Should've taken dutasteride instead as a monotherapy, better than fin and the minoxidil can cause shedding.
No está tan calvo, en mi experiencia como barbero aún se le podía sacar provecho a su cabello mostrando con orgullo las entradas
"Life is beautiful" 💖
he looks really good with shaved head.
Hell no
@@HumanMadeXo Guaranteed, you are a troglodyte. Guy does not look bad with a shaved head, if you think he does, you have unrealistic standards.
I learned not to give a damn to what other people think thanks to a colleage. I was a busdriver and it was the time Corona kicked in so the barber shops were closed. This colleage was 40 years old and had amazing thick hair. And all of a sudden he came to work next day with a fully shaved head, only showing bare skin. Imagine the reactions he got from other colleages but also the passengers, we drove only 1 line so I am sure he also got reactions from them.
As a norwood7 I would've kill for that much of hair 😂
My hair is receding as well i am 35 but i still have thick hair, only on the sides of front are little bit receded by age 31….The side parts….But you both look great bald dude, both of you are good looking lads, no gay. Bald on me? Hell no bro i would be ugly. Bald don’t fit on everyone. I feel bad for the people who losing their hair. It sucks….Thanks for the video mate. Very entertaining and inspiring content, you’re boosting those men confidence. Really good job.
youre 35 bro get a transplant and dutasteride and go on.
He is just born with a long receding hairline.... if he is happy good for him but this guy can go to turkey and actually achieve the best results EVER.
I would never shave hair like that...
Don't then 👍
This guy should have a done a hair transplant for 2000 graft his donor area looks amazing
And still worry about balding/how his hair looks? Better to just recognize it doesn’t matter in my opinion and be happy with yourself.
@@Baldcafe the transplanted hair will never be lost.
@@tylerffgaming2424transplanted hair fall out due to dht stop spreading lies. It just takes longer. But at the end of the day, without fin his transplanted hair will continue to fall
Ok.. Im really bewildered. I cant see any tangible reason whatsoever for you to have shaved of a perfectly sufficient head of hair :/
DONT think with your eyes. Think with your ears and listen to the story.
@@Baldcafe why do some people retain their hair well into old age despite having a receding hairline. Isn't a receding hairline actually just a natural thing as you get older for a lot of people and not necessarily signs of impending baldness?
@@vix2740it's not just about his receding hairline, he still got rest of his hairs because of finasteride, now that he stopped taking it the hairloss will continue
@@vix2740 this guy was definitely balding, the finasteride was just helping the hair look healthy.
@@Summerbrah hair looks relatively normal to me
Stopping the use of anti hair loss medication is based.
Huh?
Accepting yourself is based, whether you’re on hair loss medication or bald and proud.
@@Jaggerbushtell me about any other kind of medication that only affects your looks and nothing else
@@mohamedabdelmonem4603 Well, stopping the use of hair lose medication is accepting yourself....
Why is it based? What’s wrong with men wanting to keep their hair? Jesus bald guys are so unnecessarily mean to men trying to keep their hair.
Man you had so much hair even a full crown
That’s a smart guy
He looked a lot better with hair imo but as long as he’s happy I suppose
beautiful story of letting go.
Bro you look so handsome. Fuck those hair
I started loosing hair 2 years ago after taking blood pressure medication and was diagnosed with medical induced alopecia. I used those blood pressure meds for 6 months and stopped, seems like hairs doesn't fall of any more, but the question is will they grow back? Doc says follicles are still alive, but cant tell how much time it's gonna take to grow the hairs back. Is anyone here who have same experience?
I'm a doctor no clue what's your situation but you should experience regrowth
Make sure to take some high quality multivitamins, give your body what it needs to regrow hair. Take collagen, put high quality castor oil on your head. Improve circulation/bloodflow. Hair is the last thing the body takes care of if you’re missing nutrients. It might not help but it can’t hurt to start with what I’ve said.
Your had wonderful hair, could have wear it for years yet
And he still can
your condition is good man.
You have more a mature hairline than a real hair loss , where you still have hair it's thick
Great candidate for a hair transplant!
As long as he doesn't drop the finasteride then yes definitely a great candidate for a hair transplant . I couldn't agree more 👍
I love hair and the things you can do with it 😀
He had beautiful hair. But you can't stop Nature. He's handsome either way . . .
Medication messes up your body longterm as well. Short term gains for longterm consequences. Happened to me.
Finasteride gave me libido issues, plan on quitting
Don’t quit just lower the dose. You don’t wanna be a slap head.
Or try topical finastride its as same effective as oral finastride and prevent side effects
Bro do a hairtransplantation. You have still lots of hair. The result will be amazing
He doesn't want to. He seems happy. What does it matter. Not everyone can have a full head of hair.
Finasteride worked for him very well , if it doesn't worked then he must be balding from many years before
When you say work you mean it slowed/halted the rate of his balding. What is largely overlooked is that it doesn’t truly rid you of the concern over going bald. For that you must accept it and recognise that it isn’t actually a problem to go bald. Then you are free and don’t even need drugs etc. 👍
@@Baldcafe if finasteride slowed then he could use dutasteride. It is almost impossible for him to stop his hairloss with dutasteride. its a very strong medication. also there is minoxidil, ru58841, hair transplants, hair systems etc. why you should go bald while you have many options to fight against it? if nothing works which is a very slim chance, then there is nothing to do.
He’s got at least another 5 years of hair there. Don’t understand why he’d shave that… Should see mine 😂
Because it isn’t about how much hair you have. Listen to the story
@@Baldcafe Fair enough.
The guy in the video should use some proper clippers he’s making it hard work for himself or at least see a barber we need to stay in business 😫
You' should have did a mohawk or faux hawk! You still have a lot of hair.
This person has a very all or nothing type of personality. He mentioned taking finasteride and it’s been 10 years. If he hadn’t taken it, he would’ve been more bald. How would you know? 10 years is a mighty long time in a human life span and losing hair isn’t finite.. over a decade we would surely see less..he mentions over training and not accepting what you have.. as I listen I’m reminded that these are extremes and there is a middle. Working out 3 times a week is great for you.. taking finasteride 3x per week.. is good you might have had contraindications for 1mg daily because some people are a super absorbers..some people do not and release the drug quicker and some do even less,use your own body’s signals to determine if you need to lower dosage . I’ve even seen 2x per week-divide with equal distance of time between having an affect. He mentioned hating minoxidil, he didn’t have to use that particular type. There’s foams, there’s pills.. it’s a stimulator not a DHT blocker so they are different modalities of action than finasteride. 1x per day is all that is needed for minoxidil, i recommend before bed. Half-life of minoxidil is 22 hours so no need for 2x daily.
Dude just be happy bro is happy
I with I was as bald as this guy... geez
He has thick hairs so his Transplant results would be great
He is Nacho Varga from Better call Saul 😲
being bald is fantastic....i love it
Fr! ✌🏽
Guys, it used to be much more before but less now the pp size, now its the baldness... Do you see how people treat balding guys, you seen that bald dude on tiktok? They laugh at his face? Pointing their finer at him and laughing. Imagine, it's like we went into a time machine. It's another body dysmorphia being created, and a real bad one at that. Do you know how balding people feel? Did you stop to watch and listen to their talks of being ashamed to leave the house cause of the wind or rain, go to the beach, constantly looking for mirrors trying to mask it, cover it, disguise it. What happens? Men who ain't even balding that hard start getting treatment which is fine, their body their life, but then, remember, sure some cases are more severe but you got guys like this who shave their head FOR WRONG REASONS. Don't shave your head cause you're worried about somebody not liking you. If you feel it would suit you head more and sure some heads are just means for no hair i mean i saw this Buddhist guy on a podcast who was Caucasian and he looked amazing. Every feature of his face just shined more. I bet he ain't doing it cause he feel dread or like a living corpse or being afraid of being mocked by people. But so many guys ain't even balding. I used to and still do have small widow peaks. It happened when i was 18 the corners of my hair went gray and kind of just went away. Years went by and i meet a guy who's only got the back of his head so he wears a had even if it's the hottest day of the year. And he compliments my density and says like "yeah i would give my arm to have hair like your's" and i'm being nice, i tell him naah i used to rock short hair see, and i had really to spread the jungle to show him the small peaks. And he tells me to shave it off cause it will go all off in 2 months. How many time has it been since then? Ehh i'd say 6 years. I have the same hairline as i did when i spoke to him. So please guys, at least don't make it bother you, if you get to a point where you are truly, without a doubt just losing bunch of hair go to a doctor. If he redirects you to a shrink, you're fine :) Sending pisitive vibes to everyone, especially people struggling, i've seen some videos of such nice guys with such good hair, throwing it away, again, for wrong reasons.
To be honest he does not have much hairloss. Receeding temples but no harh diffuse thinning. But brother glad you feel good now
He has no hairloss because finasteride is working.
@@lordwiadro83 he said he skipped. Furrhermore when finasteride (alone) stops completey your hairloss you do not have severe hairloss
@lordwiadro83 imagine the side effects, mentally could be devastating
@DanthaManYO Suddenly after 6 years of continuous use he has side effects? I would look for the cause somewhere else. Some people have poined out in the comments that he may have anxiety.
@lordwiadro83 I am not saying he had them. People reported sides in much shorter time frame tho. I can't even imagine how can it be after 5 or 10 years.
He looks great, & i think could go even shorter/totally bald
Why does he looks older with buzz cut?
Maybe because the buzzcut exposed the recession
I know that we are all different. But omg you got great hair. Just a little bit high in the temples. I would just go for a hairtransplantation by the temples. And the you would have the greates hair ever❤.
This is wild. It just shows how effectivement finasteride is.
I started balding very bad at 18 and I've been on hairloss meds starting from 20 until nowadays. Still have a solid Norwood 2 and i don't plan to ever stop these meds.
I was supposed to be a Norwood 4 - 5 by the age of 30. I'm now 32 years old with what most people would consider " a full head of hair " .
I'm truly glad I'm on both dutasteride and minoxidil nowadays.
Edit : just finished the video and I still absolutely don't get why this man truly felt bad about saving his hair . His hair looks fantastic and taking a pill a day is just so easy.
I think he has anxiety problems or some other issues I don't know .. 😕
Yeah it’s the anxiety and the still having it as a thing you need to pay attention to etc.
