      I would have loved to have been there, and you had my sit down in a chair, and you took your clippers and just went ahead and cut all my hair off with them, and I would have just sat there enjoying every minute of it while you ran your clippers over my head cutting my hair off, and while I was sitting there, I would have been watching my hair fall down onto the cape as you were cutting it off.

    I don't know what algorithm got me to this channel, but for the last several days, I've been watching with extreme interest. My dad went bald early and always had a beard. He was the absolute best and I associate so many positive things with baldness and beards because of him. I really didn't appreciate how difficult this process of losing hair is for guys. Some of these stories just make me feel sad for how much it impacts their self-esteem. I know some people are picky, but I've always been rather amused that I really don't have any particular type. I've had crushes on skinny guys, muscular guys, chunky guys, long hair, no hair, bearded, no beard, straight teeth, crooked teeth, short, tall. It would be so boring if everyone looked the same. I don't know what I'm trying to say, other than I hope no one feels like they're less than just cause they're losing hair. And not to dismiss how difficult it is to go through with going bald, but truly, I think it's quite handsome and I haven't seen a transformation on this channel yet where I thought they shouldn't have done it. Also not saying that if you keep your hair, you're less handsome. But if you're holding back because you're worried people will find you less attractive or it will make you look older, let me just say, that's completely untrue. And if someone DOES think you're less attractive and treats you differently for it, they don't deserve your time or consideration.

    Hey Baldcafe,
    I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done so far. You are my hero.
    I've been loosing my blond hair since I was 19 and it was heartbreaking to me. The transition process was very slow and very painful. I felt I was cursed for loosing my hair at such a young age.
    I am now 22 and I've decided to just be done with it. I don't want to be obsessed about it any longer. Since few months ago I buzz my hair under a grad 1 every week and I feel much better about it. I might even consider just shaving it all thanks to you.
    Thank you for helping myself and making me realise I am still someone even without my hair. You and your videos have helped me a lot to cure my depressed mind. You are a hero.

I'm going to ride out my last couple of years that I've got with reasonable hair, but I see myself feeling the same way that gets talked about here more and more these days. I'll sometimes catch the huge white gap in my hairline in windows that I pass by and can't stop messing with my hair to make sure that it's always covered up.

    I really wanted to thank you your doing amazing job i feel comfortable just watching that. My problem is that ny balding was really slow . After 8 years of non stop thinking about it and that was controling me. Haven't go into water at the beach or the swimming pool and it was really depressing me for some periods specially cuz i have scalp eczema that make that worse + a lot of stress. I actually did a lot to trying to fix it. From a lot of treatment and small hair transplant for fixing the hairline. Now after few years i shaved my head and it looks great and it's more comfortable but the problem is that if someone really looks into my hairline he can recognize that i had a transplant before and that really the only thing that make me embarrassed about it. Still going out with a hat and honestly i don't wanna do mpg or something like that. But still feel better thanks for your job man you're doing great

    The worst part about the word receding is that it’s a verb and implies you’re still in the process of losing it. Knowing it’s only going to get worse sucks. Once you’re bald it just is and you can be free of it all.

      @@Baldcafe i think there is a point where you go from recession to balding. when the guy in this video decided to shave it was very much time. i feel sorry for the guy to gave put so much into some simple recession on his sky diving trip. i went with a short buzz for years with a recessed hairline but lately my peak has begun to thin straight down the middle so i decided it was time. i cant relate to the anxiety i see online however, i have always liked the feel of a short buzz and find the shave to be satisfying as well. i would feel differently if i couldn’t grow a nice beard however.

    It feels so good and gives you the max confidence INSTANTLY when you shave your head. At first try a buzz cut and then youll find your self shaving it off. I promise itll make you feel super masculine.

    • @LakituKoopa
      @LakituKoopa Před 2 lety

      it really does. I'm a pretty shy and introverted person and some time ago I wanted to give myself a little trim since my hair became a little long and messy during lockdown. Messed it up and couldn't fix it, had to shave my head from 4cm down to 0. Not what I wanted in the first place, but I started to like the new look so I shaved my head even smooth afterwards. I aged about 5 years from 25 to 30 and turned from a cute boy into something like a mercenary and it really boosted my self-confidence. I started to talk to people more often without being scared, did things I usually would not do since being to afraid and felt quite masculine. Really felt awesome. Now I'm back with my old hair and I think I might shave it off again someday.

      My doctor when i was 17 : " you will be bald at 25 ". Me at 30 years old : i'm a solid norwood 2 !!!
      You should be ashamed of your videos baldcafe cause you push young men to just shave when they could Literally save their hair of they start treatments as soon as possible !
      You will tell me : " yes but the side effects bla bla bla " well it happens and in that case you stop the treatments but those are extremely rare ! And most people having sides go on the internet to make everyone else afraid to even " try " those treatments...
      Which is a shame ...
      " just shave it bro " is not the solution. You shave it only when you tried everything already before. You just waste young men's hair with your bald propaganda videos !!
      Thanks God I didn't fall for your scam when I was 17 ...

    My advice would be to not grow a beard. It makes you look like your head is on upside down.

    That's interesting that he mentioned how the barber acknowleding that his hairline was receding because thats basically how I found out mine was receding even though I was in denial at the time. Now my hairline is probably worse than his was during the sky dive, but I don't have as much loss.
