Do hair fibres work and do they really build confidence?
Rather than write them off, I thought I should have a genuine attempt at using hair fibres and see if they would work with a short hair style.
Here's what I thought of hair fibres and thank you to @quailthewhale for also sharing his experience with using hair fibres.

What do you think guys. Do Hair Fibers give you confidence or are they just preventing you from digging deep and making real progress?
I think it depends on the person
I can't imagine using them. I'd be even more anxious because I would constantly be worried the fibres running off (rain, swimming, wind etc).
Also, even if you get comfortable using them effectively, as you've said you can still become too reliant on the confidence they give you.
@Daughter of Enoch it was the powder. It is meant for longer hair thats why it didnt work for him
Bad application, not even, bald spots and the hairline...even God can't save that one !
Daughter of Enoch she did in the end...
Im not balding but i do have naturally thin hair and i find these hair fibre things work really well to make your already existing hairline look a lot thicker rather than creating a new one.
You actually have to have some hair to use them lol. I would only recommend them to someone who has started to thin/has a slight bald patch.
I hear they can make you go more bald over time, stunts growth of your current hairs as it lies on the scalp and can also get stuck inside hair follicles preventing growth,
Not an expert its just a common thing I've heard about, it makes perfect sense, these companies want to keep you bald!
yew root I haven’t heard this, but I use them sparingly regardless.
@@unifightor Yeah no.... they don't. I'm like you, just a few puffs on my thinning bits haha.
@@seductivegoat2403 hair gel or spray will ruin ur hair quicker then any hair fibers will i can guarntee...cause its like cement over ur scalp...it cant breathe....fibers ur scalp can breath jus fine...i been using them 7 years and my hair hasnt gotten thinner....gel i started heavy in my teens...by late 20s i noticed noticable thinning....20 yrs ago...guys pretty much used gels and cements and sprays there was no creams, paste, puttys like today....witch dont harden on ur scalp....pretty sure a big cause of guys with thinning hair over 30 was from cheap hair gels that harden over there scalps....
That's actually not true I've seen quite a few videos where people are completely bald and it looks good
Appreciate you sticking with it and using it even when it looked bad. 💯 % respect!!
Your channel helped save my confidence and my life, literally.
Bald guys rock!
Problem is he's too bald. Fibers can't cover that kind of range!
LMFAOOOOOO
Perhaps he could model a toupee next in the sea......😂
Exactly, fibers are for thinning hair not a totally bald head, even with that said, the way he applied the fibers, errrr, what was he expecting? it's almost like he wanted it to look bad just for the video.

Your beard is awesome but i think that when you had it shorter it suited you more just my opinion bro keep up!!
Yeah .He look better in the stubble.
Could he be overcompensating for the hair loss? Men with 3mm-4mm stubble are hot. Long beards are a turn off.
i think the same, a shorter beard would look better on him, but if he read this i respect if he wants the beard large :D
Love this channel, keep up the FANTASTIC work pal 👍👍
Are you from Plymouth? Also, this stuff binds to actual hair with at least some length. As much as I'd never use this stuff, this isn't really a fair test. I agree with the overall message though.
Jonathon James My family is from Plymouth and I went to university there 👍. Unfortunately this is about as much hair as I could grow these days so had to give it a try at least. I do acknowledge this at the end if you made it to that bit 😊
I have never laughed so much in my life! You are hysterical! You looked fantastic bald and your personality goes with it. You don't need hair! Thanks for the video!
Today I finally went and got my head buzzed after a solid 2/3 years of thinking about it on and off throughout uni. Went for a 1 all over and I actually really like it, looking like pep guardiola 😂. Really just wanted to say thank you for making all the videos! Seeing everyone else's stories gave me the final push I needed. Already feel so much more confident and walked out of the barbers with my head held high instead of trying to hold onto the hair which storm Ciara would've tried to mess up if have had I gotten my usual haircut
Hi mate. I took the plunge 2weeks ago. Never been more happier less worry off the shoulder
Congrats bro you rock!
Loving the videos man!
Joshua Gwatkin Thanks for watching man. Really glad you are enjoying them 👍 😊
Hahaha I really enjoyed this one! I saw a comment about trying a hair system next, I think that’d be awesome.
Hair fibers are good for if you have a balding area or a receding hairline, but I would not recommend using it to cover your whole head. I’ve tried it before when I had my hair thinning and it was WAY too much maintenance and I ended up just going bald all together. Also for those who do use it, I highly recommend using the holding spray to keep it in.
I've only just caught up and watched this video. I was laughing throughout. I had flashbacks of myself using this stuff on and off for over 2 years, man the stuff gets all over the place especially in the sink. 😂
I really agree with your final thoughts. I actually shaved my (thinning) hair off before discovering Baldcafe but without a doubt you've given me the confidence I thought I'd lost. Keep up the good work and.........
.....thank you 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed this video and thanks for watching. It was a good one to film and an interesting experience.
Well done for taking that step man!
@@Baldcafe cheers mate and thanks again 👍🏻
You looked so shady eating breakfast like you were gunna leg it 😂
Paveyshreds dude it was awkward too because I really wanted to enjoy the breakfast but I was kinda embarrassed
Great video my man! Glad you could use my video too 😂😂
Yeah when my crown first started showing, hair fibers really did work to give me the confidence not to constantly worry about my balding spot and just go on with my day. But now I've shaved my head and and I have the same level of worry, which is none, and the the TRUE confidence I'm gaining from showing my true self is on another level.
Best review ever! Had a good laugh. Thnx!
Dude, I'm literally in tears with laughter watching your reaction to first putting it on... You're a legend, mate hahahah
I have a full head of hair, and not one male in the past 3 generations went anywhere close to bald, maybe slight receding at the front in their 60s and 70s. With that said, I would never ever rock any type of fibers, toupees, transplants, or anything whatsoever. In fact, I intentionally buzzed and shaved my hair many times, even without a perfect face shape or growing a beard because I just do not give a fuck. After the 1st day, everyone just accepted it and forgot I ever had long hair, and I was on my merry way. With that said, I've watched many videos about transplants and various forms of treatment, and I love your channel because you too, never waste time, money, or energy on contemplating traveling to Turkey for a transplant, and refocused your attention to working out and spreading positivity and acceptance and guidance for others to follow. Going out with hair fiber that stands out that much just shows how confident you are, Harry. It also shows others how worried they'd have to be every single day, skipping going to the swimming pool, constantly checking the mirror, hiding from the rain all so that other people don't find out they're losing hair... It's just the mind playing tricks on them, thinking they're less of a man with thinning hair, while the opposite is true - bald men are perceived as masculine and easily stand out in the crowd of people with the same undercut haircut. Just my opinion on the whole situation...
Looks good bro!
Great video Harry. Brings back horrible memories of stickiness. Thank god those days are over.
I should try hair fibers and Rogaine plus. Derma roller. Or hair skin nails vitamin i will also try laser. Hat treatment. Im not sure if your supposed to sprinkle it i saw rubing. It on.
harry really thoguht ur editing and drone shots of the beatch were really cool, do u edit ur own videos and if so can u recommend a good video editing app or program ? :)
Good video! Please try more non-sponsored products! Those are always the realest reviews. Also nice to see you outside one time 😂

Quality video man
My opinion on hair fibers is it completely depends on the person and their situation. If you’re going completely bald then these definitely are not for you cuz as you can see they look ridiculous. However if you aren’t losing your hair and just receding a bit like in my case these can be perfect. I use Caboki hair fibers with the diffusing pump that makes it soooo much more easier to apply with better accuracy. Luckily for me I just need a tiny bit on each side and then I gently comb it and my hair looks great. I got the hair spray too if I know I’m gonna be outside for awhile that will legit hold it in place all day. Since I only need a little bit one bottle last me awhile and if it does come out for whatever reason it doesn’t make a mess and get everywhere like it would if u had a ton in ur head. But yeah I wouldn’t completely knock these but I definitely wouldn’t use it if I were bald. An as for confidence I definitely feel a lot more confident wearing these now but I can still leave the house without them on and not feel like I need them. The way I look at it is it’s not different then girls wearing makeup to cover stuff up or anything else they do.
This guy is brilliant!!
I totally disagree with you. I've used hair fibers for 19 years & it is quite efficient. Of course if you only have a few hair on your head that's useless.
But if it didn't work I wouldn't have used that for nearly half my life.
idk who you are so who knows why youd use it for almost two decades. beats me
I use it about 8 years now and now one noticed it. It works perfect for me. My friends use it too.
I tried fibers on my receding hairline and it looked extremely unnatural. It looked as if I had a clump of powder on my head. So I just went bald.
I want to buzz my head but not to a zero yet. I like his length in the video prior to the fiber crap. Would yall say its about a 1 or a 2?
Hey man love your videos, not bald (yet) but i like watching your videos you have a good youtube energy i guess. Always wanted to learn mandarin how long did it take you and what do you think about china. There is a program in my country for exchange students so im planning on doing it after the virus stuff calms down a bit! Keep it up
Absolutely agree with the last guys review and I'm only starting to thin, been using nanogen 4 years and it's definitely causing anxiety.. 2 months supply my? Dosnt last a month. Good video and good words bro
Im CRACKING up watching this omg lol!!!
This will work for people with longer hair but for people like me and Baldcafe, it won't work as the scalp hair is too thin. I used it for a few days on vacation and thought I'd got away with it. As I sat in the plane my friend on the way back from the bathroom rubbed my head as he went to sit past me, and was clearly surprised when he go this powdery gunk in his hand!
One other thing for people to realize is these bottles are expensive also and if you have severe thinning then you'll use practically a whole bottle for one usage.
I'm so glad I shaved my head eventually and don't have to rely on temporary measures like this anymore. Big on you for trying though
Do fibers actually aid in the growth of hair or is it just aesthetic?
You should now do a review on getting a hair system
Let’sSee Maybe you’re damn right I should. I think that should be next 😉
Baldcafe I can’t wait 😊 keep up the good work 👍
Although I've never tried it Hair systems could be potentially dangerous as they really seem to end up tempting people to keep them. Like Karl Pilkington when he tried one was clearly enamoured with the result but his wife didn't like it on him.
What I like most about this channel is that it preaches self confidence and acceptance of oneself. So when I see a fellow bald man cover up and hide I just want to encourage him to embrace it. Such a good channel
@@Baldcafe yup please we all are eagerly waiting.
pls do one on full tape, im going for it soon
This was hilarious. Brilliant video.
Cool video!!
So.....first rule of fibre club is you only apply it where there is hair, if its only skin it won't work. Then secure by turning a can of hairspray upside down and spraying above your head so it mists down to secure, this way the pressure does not blow them away. I used them for 12 years and they worked amazingly well for me. In addition I developed a better delivery system then the bottle they come in which allows for a more natural look and further to that I did use them on a bald crown successfully with another tweak. Nowadays i dont use them as my bald spot became too big and as I'm 40 something now I dont give a shit but when I was young and needed to get laid they were a lifesaver.
I like that you did this video this way
Yeah man. In all seriousness I actually wanted to see what they were like and if they'd work on short hair. I also knew I had to include some opinion from someone who has actually used them properly over time. 👍 Glad you appreciated this one. Thanks for watching.
You speak chinese! Cool man, I'm learning right now. Love the channel!
Im glad i dont feel shy anymore with my bald head and old monk look! Id rather be bald than look like a joker with this crap....regards from India
I relate so hard on this
How old are you? Just curious with people facing baldness on young age like me :(
This isn’t meant for ppl who are bald. 😂😂😂 you have to actually have some hair left with some length to it for it to work. Lmao!
Men with nice beards and bald or buzzed look very in style. OWN IT!👍👍👍
I used the fibers when I had longer hair to hide the bald spot on my scalp. Worked great but I only used it on special occations. The key is not to use a lot of it just enough to take away the lighter parts that shine through. I used a comb to make the fibers more even. By the way don't expect it to improve your hairline, because it's not. In fact you should avoid using it at all in the front since it could fall off the hair and leave you with powder in the face.
"I can't go to breakfast like this! 🤪" Lol
You actually got it pretty good at the end
No he didn't 😂
Before I took the buzzer to my head for all eternity, I got into Topikk Hair Fibers. My hair wasn’t too bad that I couldn’t use it. A 7-10g bottle of it cost me only $8 and it would last me about a month and a half and I was like fuck yeah, 8 bucks to keep my hair! I worked at Target at the time, I was 21 (now 23) and not gonna lie, it worked amazingly well. Nobody ever noticed and if they did they chalked up to thinking I was taking some serious hair supplements. But, the dread of putting it on every day before work, before going to school and hanging out with friends, was too much to handle. It gave me a very fake feeling, I started thinking too much about it, whether people could see it or not. And honestly, your videos are what got me to stop using that stuff and start buzzing my hair altogether. So kudos to you brotha, for getting me out of that self-deprivating situation I was in!
why you dont try the peepermint oil thing for 1-2 months?
Hahaha that’s that Drake hairline 😂
Kabukichō no... we do not. we just tend to have much courser hair. there are black men with thinning hair who use it but i’ve never met one.
Really, don't know, but that juvenile looking hairline like Drake have looks so weird om grown up men. Most don't have that.
More like lebron
This is perfect for black men's hair :)
What about the permanent tattoo’d follicles do they look good
If you keep your hair short always it's a good option
Idk how people are confident walking around with them in because in the back of your head you would be worried about sweating or it rubbing off. Great video Harry!
Big improvement dude
I don't know how any guy could put that s*** on their head and go out in public, It looks absolutely ridiculous. Better to be bald than look like a clown. Harry thanks for showing us just how ridiculous it does look.
He has no hair ofc it looks like shit, it works with thinning hair
Hair fibres actually work very well if you're just thining and I would recommend them if you're really uncomfortable with that but it's just prolonging the inevitable and it's not that much different to wearing a wig really. You're still going to be anxious that the fibres will blow off or someone will say something (much like wearing a wig). They're going to cost a lot of money if you use them every day as well so I'd say they're not really worth the hassle and mess unless you just decide to use them as a one off for special occasions etc. One thing I must say though is it's remarkable how different you look with a hairline (even if it was all over the place lol). It completely changes how you look and even makes you look younger and I think that's what a lot of people dislike or worry about with losing their hair or going for the shaved look. Nice to see you reviewing or trying new things though, especially when not everyone is ready to let go just yet 😆.
Im 53 and have hair but a little thin on top so I use these fibers and they work well....I also train so I get sweating but don't I have a problem....I just have to use that much tbf so u wud say that's the difference....
5:19 was the best part of video actually
You cheeky boy
Loving Hair Boss Powder: covers gray hair and baldness
IMHO you look so much better keeping it shaved bald. That hair fiber stuff looked so strange when it was on your head, and looked like it would rub off or dissolve when it gets wet, leaving odd bits of bald scalp showing.
This was a very useful video because my balding looks a lot like yours and I will never bother now trying out hair fibers. I love shaving my head so much !!
Started shaving my head with a DE razor about a month ago. It's a bit of maintenance but nothing terrible. I do need to get a more aggressive razor for a closer with the grain shave. I like the against the grain smoothness but as far as being shaven, i'm enjoying it. Girlfriend doesn't seem to mind a bit, I got some jokes here and there for the first two weeks but I also got a lot of compliments. I got a few "you shouldn't be bald at that age" comments from family. I'm 21 but the bald runs deep in the family. Family of chrome domed dudes.
You are meant to use a bonding spray, also it works better if you put an applicator on top of the fibre bottle which allows you to put it on evenly, also its still not waterproof.
The problem is this guy's hair is way too short for hair fibres to properly work. I have used hair fibres for years and they are a GOD SEND. If you have medium length hair at least and your balding areas still contain miniaturised hair then hair fibres will work wonders.
They aren't something I'd use cause I'm on fin and still have my hair but they are made for bald spots not for rebuilding a full head of hair
I’ve used hair fibers for about 5 years, it’s made less confident cos the worry for people noticing and worrying about the weather ruining it. Need to brave shave and embrace it. What’s your thoughts on scalp micro pigmentation? Great channel.
2:13 I died XD
The Shockkie 😂
Also another way to have confidence is to STOP thinking about being bald not being obsessed about these questions of hair. You are what you look , you cannot change it.
Im scared to shave my head man. Im starting to thin in the front and the back. Wearing a hat all the time and i really want to shave it all off. But the catch is i just started with a high fashion moddeling carreer im scared they will drop me if i shave it off 😭 but i feel insecure all the time any tips?
FUE hair transplant (mixed with SMP for more density), along with derma rolling once a week, taking Finasteride daily and using Minoxidil twice a day. Thank me later.
Great channel
To play the devil's advocate:
- Hair fibers look good with thinning hair that's longer.
- For a shaved look, you should use hair fiber spray and not apply it manually with your fingers.
- It's also good for enhancing the look of a hair transplant, not for someone who will go completely bald.
This is what I've learned watching CZcams barbers who work on balding men.
But I agree, men shouldn't rely on hair fibers for their confidence. It should just be treated a styling tool like having facial hair, dying your hair, wearing nice clothes, etc.
I've got upto 3:12 and I'm literally crying with laughter...its the hairline and the little bridge you accidentally created
Would you be interested in having SMP. I’ve had it done now for 5 years and it looks so natural. Has given me so much confidence 👍
What is SMP?
Chaniago Abd scalp micro pigmentation. I’ve had it and it’s been a real changer for me.
@@welshlad6427 I just got one session done redness was a good 5 days. How many sessions did u have? Also after my first session I'm going to work but hairs still super bald so I got this topikk stuff in the meantime
I had smp too
@@BigALdeek I needed 3 treatments. How’s yours now?
Hi man, may i know what lens are u using?
This stuff and products like Toppix work if you aren’t bald yet. If you are thinning gradually or have a small bald spot in the back they can work. It can blend and adhere to the hairs you have left. Makes it look fuller. But, one starts to use it as a crutch. You start to truly depend on it especially when your hair gets thinner and thinner. Then you start to worry if the fibers haven’t blown out due to a wind gust or some rain drops potentially causing the dripping of it down your face! I would avoid going into pools. I would take the fibers and a little travel sized hair spray everywhere in my satchel. Just to make sure I’d have no ‘issues’ away from home. Women couldn’t tell but I would make sure I wouldn’t leave any residue on their pillows after sexy time, ha. I used fibers for I would say five years. Bamboozled a lot of people. But, like I mentioned, it became such a strong dependency and distraction in my life. Your channel helped me and was the catalyst for me to face the confidence to just shave the hair off cold turkey and embrace the dome. My friends are still my friends. I was worried SO much about nothing! Cheers.
To me , I used mine last night. I only think you should use this on a special night out. But don’t use it every day. It will suffocates the scalp. Also use hair spray but keep in mind you will still get it on your hands if you touch it or anyone else touches your hair
Is it resistant to rain? 😅👍
Dude, you are a blessed man with your wife 👍
Rah Hair Fibers look so Authentic i bet they must be dear in price Range.
I use hair fibers! I have a small thin patch on my crown it thickens up and looks legit. But I only use it when I'm going out.
You made me laugh bro with hoodie on good video i like your reviews 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I use hair fibers and I still have my long hair. My thinning on the top isn't that bad yet, but it's starting to get visually obvious without the fibers. I think it's because I have long hair and nobody can see that i've applied hair fibers as they're buried underneath my long hairs. I think hair fibres are really hard to pull off with short hair, but if you've got long hair, it works very good! That's my experience using them and won't stop anytime soon! Don't forget hairspray to lock them in place, typically lasts me 3-4 days before needing a top up and they survive the sweaty gym :)
I think you are doing it wrong on purpose to discourage anyone from not being completely slick bald.
He does that alot look at his finasteride
i think youre supposed to put it on hair that you still have if you have big bald patches it wont have anything to stick to and just looks weird...
You should try the hair systems stuff whenever you get a chances
You look better bald bro! Embrace it! I started buzzing my hair since the pandemic. And personally I like it now lol
Honestly my honest intake on hair fibers is not to do it because like he said you become dependent on it and as time goes by and your thinning/balding gets worse your going to use more and more to the point where any activity that involves washing off the fibers is going to be out of your life and it’s gonna restrict you from living your best life. Trust me I tried it and started getting dependent on it and when it rained I would freak out and go to the bathroom and stuff. What type of life is that... screw the fibers and stay natural
I’m a proud bald man and I did exactly what you did here in the video. I put the hair fibers in the middle to cover the horse shoe and had my friend shape up the hair line with a razor and it still looked horrible. By the way it wasn’t a serious attempt to cover my balding it was all for fun and curiosity.
Yes my hoe, you are right
I missed this vid it only came up on my feed today lol. I used this stuff up to over a year ago as im half aussie/ asian and have very dark hair it actually worked for awhile but its only a bandaide for a high and tight haircut i had. Unfortunately my hair got thinner and my friend caught me out saying " u aint fooling no one" 😂🤦♂️
I think you may have need the spray nozzle applicator.
Bro god gave you such a good head shape
Does it work for beards
So getting the confidence with the razor rather than the fibers then.
Hair fibers 👍👍👍.. looks natural.. but hair system look totally better.. both are good 👏👏👏
*A normal/full head of hair is approx 4 hairs per square cm. Some guys out there have thinning areas that have maybe half that, so 1 to 2 hairs per sq cm. Hair fibres boost their confidence. If they're happy and it works, more power to them. Some people use thickening shampoo, that works too*
A normal head of hair has far more than 4 hairs per square cm. Considering a head has about 100 thousand hairs.
@@danbrookes2997I think he means per square millimeter.
This was hilarious! Hahaha
@baldcafe the hair fibers work better mainly if it’s light to mild hair loss. It really can’t be used on a bald scalp.
I've lost some hair due to side effects to medication and I shaved my head during the lock down and I didn't realise how thin my hair has gone at the top front. It's at a 2 all round and when I use it it actually looks normal. I think it's great. Id have less confidence if I didnt have it so I don't care that its a crutch, I'm just happy it works. Also most people I've seen use it on youtube like you are way to bald and put way to much on so it looks stupid. I just put a small bit on and makes a big difference. I'd recommend anyone to atleast try it and if you don't like it then don't use it.
