Should You POP PIMPLES? Acne Myths DEBUNKED czcams.com/video/un-N6xlaa1U/video.html
So what's to stop someone buying osteoporosis drug SFRP1 and making a solution and rubbing it into the scalp?
You didn't mention using organic/natural oils on the scalp 30 minutes before washing the head. It is very common practice (myth or not) in south east Asian countries.
It always gets me when science is years behind in simple things... we can clone cats.. but can't stop baldness...
Cloning Cats is easier than curing baldness
What I'm sceptical about is theres such high demand that its earn hundreds of millions of pounds a year. If they made a cure itll either cost way to much or they will put literally all of the hair loss companies completely out of business thus money
true
We have the knowledge to split atoms, create machines that can peer light years into space, make literal miniature black holes, and even attempt to bring back extinct animals through embryonic implantation through it’s closest living ancestor. But still can’t find a cure for something so minute and simple as balding??? Like seriously come on! These greedy bastards probably already know it by now but would lose millions - if not billions if it became known, that’s all it is.
Who said that cloned cat is living like a normal cat?😂 I get what you are saying but comparing two things thinking that it should work same way it stupid.
I wish this hair loss happened to my ass hair
Barenn 😆
Don't we all.
Hahahahahahha
Lmao
Yeah
Alright, so to how to rock bald style
1. Go to the gym
2. Get ripped
3. Grow a beard
4. Get some nice shades
5. Become a douche

Bill Dauterive Holy shit his is a fucking joke, y’all don’t have to bring your shit summer mood on me
Bald men look like aliens
Become a johny sin
The man who invents the hair regrowth will surely become the richest man on the planet
@Frank Lall men around the world should stop buying hair loss medications and stop getting transplants to force the hairloss industry to give us the real cure, but that will never happen
@Frank L some people look really bad bald myself included
We lose hair where we don't wanna lose it and gain it where we don't wanna gain it.
amen
Sad isnt it 😢 whoever planned that was not a good plan
why can’t we just lose hair on the sides and not the top😭
Because fuck us that's why
Men live life on hard mode

That'd be cool
Seriously though why? Has anyone have legit proof about it?
I wish i can go back in time and stopped the first ever balding man to ever having a children lol
True bro,,, but we can do that
wish i can go back in time and don't let my parents fuck

Balding in my early 20’s, skinny, and can’t grow a decent beard. RIP to me bruh.
Skinny is just a matter of weight training and eating
I’m skinny balding at 22 but I can grow a beard

You can also go bald by doing:
100 push-ups
100 sit-ups
100 squats
10KM run
Every single day
And no AC of course !

Started losing my hair at around 24. Went deep into denial about it, moving my hair to cover up the patchy spots, but by age 27 I couldn't deny it anymore. I cut it short, but it showed bad, I was still too young to be balding. It really affected my self esteem. Never had a solid crisis, but it did suck at first. I eventually started to listen to Joe Rogan talk about balding and worked up the courage to shave my head, hands down the best choice I've made regarding my hair. I look badass and my confidence is way up, though the beard and hitting the gym definitely helps, and luckily my skull has a nice shape to it, I was really worried I'd have a fucked up cranium.
Good work brother! Keep rocking that badass look!
I would be way less worried if i go bald in my 30s and 40s then my 20s
This is one of those things that the less you know the better you sleep
Never seen a bald homeless guy.
niacal4nia this is so true! I always said the ones I saw around my place had beautiful thick hair

Successful man are usually bald😏
Correlation doesn't mean causation. You gotta keep in mind, most of these homeless guys you see aren't very old at all. They're relatively young they just look old because of lack of personal care/overexposure to sunlight/etc.
Why can’t our cracks go bald instead?!😂
That's what's killing me. Like why the fuck don't we lose arm hair or leg hair or ass hair?!!?!?
More blood flow to your ass, think about why you lose hair from the top of your head and not on the sides, more blood flow..
Dont like cracks that look like a David Crockett hat
Don't Shave That Hair!!!
I have recently made a mistake in my life, and I offer my story to you, that you may learn from my error. It all started, as many things do, with me having trouble shitting.
No, I was not constipated; this was not a regularity problem but a matter of technique. It seems my ass-hair had grown to such a length that tiny grogans were constantly getting tied up in the matted jungle between my asscheeks. It led to much frustration, with me KNOWING that I still had something to drop, but unable to shake the tenacious turd loose from its butthair dwelling. Eventually I would have to do two things: either reach down with some paper and try to pinch off the lingering loaf (which required careful precision to avoid smearing the creature all over my rear, especially since I had no way of seeing what I was doing) or just go for broke, start wiping, and hope that I could remove all the leftover fecal matter before the toilet paper reached its Can't-Be-Flushed threshold.
I was contemplating this problem, when I had what seemed at the time to be a bright idea. "Hey! This is my butt and my butt-hair, right? So why don't I just eliminate all the hair, and then my grogans will flow out like beer from a keg!" I said to myself. It is a statement that will go down in history with a lot of other regretted statements. "How many Indians could there be?" said by General Custer. "Looks like a good day for a drive!" by JFK. "There! America On-Line now has complete Usenet access!" by some idiot system tech. Such was my anal shaving idea.
I performed the operation that night, with a cheap disposable razor and a towel to sit on. Starting from the bottom, and shaving from the crack to the cheeks, I began the arduous process of ridding my ass of hair. Occassionally, I would have to clean the razor of accumulated hair and miscellaneous slime, which I did by wiping it on the towel. Slowly, my twin mounds and the between-ravine began to resemble the hairless cheeks of a newborn baby. Finally, I wiped the razor one last time, and surveyed my work. The towel was covered with a pile of hair. My ass was smooth as ivory. I smiled, satisfied, thinking my troubles were over.
Little did I know.
I now have a great respect for anal-hair. Like everything in this world God created, it has its mighty purpose in existence. It was only after I had removed it that I started to learn how much I had been taking it for granted. For one, it provides friction. I learned this the next day, when I walked out into the sun heading for class. After climbing two flights of stairs and starting to sweat, I started to notice something unpleasant. The sweat was accumulating in my crack, and was causing the unpleasant sensation of my two asscheeks sliding past each other with every step. I thought about going to the bathroom and wiping it off, but had to get to class. Eventually, I thought, it would dry.
Unfortunately, it did dry, but only after mingling with the microscopic shit- molecules lingering around my brown starfish. When I stood up after class, my cheeks were stuck together with a slimy sticky shit/sweat combination. As I made my way back to my dorm, it started to itch. God-DAMN, did it itch! Felt like a swarm of ants was making its way up and down my crack. Fighting to keep from jamming my hand down there and scratching away, I rushed back to the dorm.
Unfortunately again, this exertion caused me to sweat, and when I finally reached my room, my cheeks were sliding back and forth against each other like a pair of horny cane-toads. I quickly dropped my pants, and attempted to dry my ass off by sticking it in front of a fan and spreading my cheeks. As I pulled the two mounds of flesh apart, a horrible stench burst free and filled the room. Every dog within a 4 block radius started to howl. I had it worst of all, as the ripe aroma of festering shit/sweat went into the fan and blew back into my face. I fought to keep from heaving. And as I sat there, fighting vomit, my ass cheeks spread and dripping, with the concentrated aroma of my body odor mixed with the tangy smell of my own shit blowing right into my face, I had only one thought: "It will be like this until the hair grows back. Weeks."
Later on, trying to deal as best I could, wiping my ass at every opportunity, I discovered another wonderful use for ass-hair - ventilation. I attempted to launch a fart, only to have it get stuck between my asscheeks. Apparently, with no hair, the two pink twins can get vacuum sealed together, and the result was a frustrating fart that slid up and down between my cheeks like a lost gerbil.
As if that wasn't enough, I am now enduring further torture. As anyone who has ever shaved anything knows, when hair is first growing in, it comes in as stubble. Imagine your ass having the texture of a brillo pad. Well, that is what I am dealing with now. It is a hellish torture, and there are many times when I just look out the window and contemplate why I shouldn't just jump out and get it all over with in one fleshy splat, rather than endure this constant agony.
Friends, DON'T SHAVE YOUR ASS-HAIR!
I started shaving my head, grew a solid beard, stopped worrying. Life is great now.
@James Dean specially if u r short
Men who retain their hair in middle age should refrain from commenting and playing down mpb.They dont understand the trauma and negative psychological effect it has on the mindset.
If you have decend beard it should do the trick
Andrey Stankov I am Asian and I have zero beard, my hairs are thinning, just imagine that shit bro , I look like a fucking alien when I am bald

@@rezaakbari1773 Dude, life is short who gives a shit. Easier said than done right? My hair is thinning so bad I'm 6'6 and I stand out in a crowd..I wanna shave it but I feel like my head is too big.
@@andreystankov7811 Nah just looks like your head is on upside down.
I have some information to share with you that is not commonly known. In early 2022, my hair was thick and dense, but by the end of that year, I experienced significant hair loss, resulting in decreased thickness and density. However, I was able to regain control of my hair fall by adopting several positive habits. Firstly, I eliminated junk food from my diet. Secondly, I began exercising for 15 minutes daily to improve blood circulation. Additionally, I started drinking lukewarm water on an empty stomach every morning to aid in detoxification. Finally, I switched to Littleextra's safe and natural cocoonion shampoo and oil, massaging my hair twice a week and washing it after a few hours. As a result, my hair fall has reduced, and I have noticed new hairs growing on my scalp. In conclusion, it is possible to control hair fall by adopting a healthy lifestyle and positive habits.
No you can't if it's genetic. You regained hair growth because it wasn't genetic for you. You had thick and dense hair.
my grandfather is bald as an egg and my father is also bald
even tho im only 19 but i have accepted my fate as a bald adult so theres no point in crying about it
still a chance to get on min or fin bro
@@sonnylew1113 i still have hair left although its quite thin but i just cant afford paying $15 dollars a month for min and im genuinely scared of the side effects

This honestly just made me sad that scientists are failing us and have no answers.
Jayman Siales They’re spending time researching cancer, instead of curing something that’s very insignificant.
DashLashBoy Im pretty sure the scientists who do research on hair are entirely separate from the ones who deal with cancer.
@@DashLashBoy Except when their researched treatment causes hair loss. In which case, they owe it to their patients to hustle with their hair loss cure research. Hair isn't insignificant when it can provide protection to sensitive individuals, especially those who have to avoid sun due to medications that can be affected by solar rays. Hair isn't insignificant to begin with. You're just narrow-minded.
Husni Hassan Ok ok, I didn’t mean it like that. What I tried to say was that cancer is much more important than hair loss so I figured they should be researching a cure for cancer more than hair loss. Ngl though, I do love my hair a lot.
@@DashLashBoy Then I apologize to my other comprehensive comment. Every body issue is just as important as cancer and we can afford to invest a little in other efforts given the recent improvements in treatment.
I just have a strong reaction to the behavior of minimizing something we can make progress in just because a more pressing issue is on the table. That mentality spreads like a virus and if we always prioritized more serious issues, society would never have advanced to what it is now. We'd likely still be in medieval times. Sometimes, it's the less serious issues that give great information that can pave the way to other resolving other issues. Often times, this results in an accidental discovery. Not to mention that the sooner it is explored, the sooner we can observe long-term effects. Marijuana is, unfortunately, in the middle-zone because of narrow-minded individuals in the past who chose to follow a propaganda and demonize something that could be good.
I don't trust a man with a full head of hair discussing this topic.
STRESS MAKES YOU LOSE HAIR BE COOL AND CALM LIKE A SURFER DUDE THATS WHY THEY HAVE LONG HAIR
Seeing this video 20 years ago would have been helpful *sigh*
I’m 19 and I got thinning hair and a bald spot. And too much sex is not one of them 😂
I don't know if this can help you. But here's my theory about balding. 1. Testosterone, is a necessary hormone and is essential for muscle growth and strength. 2. Stress, causes you to become tense and tighten certain muscles commonly but not only in the face and head area. 3. Posture, poor posture tightens certain muscles which, with correct posture would not be tightened. Especially with people who live a sedentary life, the muscles at the back of the head will tighten to keep the head facing horizontally. 4. Magnesium supplements, have been shown to decrease the rate of balding and is known to be a muscle relaxant. 5. Peppermint essential oil, has been shown to be more effective at reducing the rate of balding in men compared to Minoxidil a anti-hypertensive vasodilator medication. Peppermint is known to be an effective muscle-relaxant and stress-releiver. 6. DHT, like testosterone is essential in the development of muscles, blocking DHT then causes decreased muscle-growth. 7. Scalp massages has been shown to increase hair-growth, but not reliably. 8. Botox injections to the brow area have been shown to increase hair-growth as an unintentional side-effect.
Based on this, my theory is as follows. Chronic activity in muscles at the brow area, scalp and back of the head create a situation similar to a swimming cap which prevent hair from receiving the nutrients it needs. This is caused by, stress, poor posture and poor nutrition. The genetic link then would be your propensity to become stressed. However more importantly, the way you deal with stress and how well you take care of your body which are epigenetic factors, not genetic.
Now, consider the fact that the hair-loss industry is worth 4 Billion annually they have no incentive to tell you about this link. In the worst case none of this will work, but you're at least decreasing stress, correcting your posture and eating healthy. Which has benefits across the spectrum.
@@Rope257 I figured stress and poor nutrition does that not to mention poor sleep
@@Rope257 so in summary. What should a person do? Like a step by step guide please.
Why can't we just loose pubic hair
Dude am losing that too 😕😕
It would be better instead of scalp hair
@@johnwick3846 Yap better that than going bald even in your early teens
@TheMrEpicsounds 😂
If I go bald I’m just gonna own it and be proud of it.
Why not? The main reason it bothers people is because society tells us it’s not attractive. What if we all just quit caring?
Im bald damn i look good. Hair just makes me look younger.
That's the best attitude. It's part of you, so own it and make it part of you.
Bro I have a massive forehead. I'm not exaggerating at all. I cant afford to be bald
Jess H well it’s not ideal if you go bald young because you’re not gonna get any women in the same age group as they’re not gonna find baldness attractive
nah bro having hair is the building blocks confidence and being a beautiful man to woman i rather end my life than go bald
I'm currently experiencing depression because of male pattern baldness. I used to have decently thick hair when I was in college but now it's getting thinner everyday. I lost confidence, I wanna die.
I shaved it as soon as it started thinning out.
Wanted to "go bald gracefully". 10 years on no one remembers me with hair tbh.
Shave your head, grow out a small beard - not the dumbledore type.
You won't regret it
Just shave your head
Don't worry about it, use something called hair fibers (like toppik) they cover up hair loss easily and last in the wind and water, start using minoxidl, or if your old enough get on finastride which is a generic form of propecia(Costco is cheapest) try to maintain what you have and fill in what you don't with hair fibers which you get online or CVS...
Try Bears True Blue hair growth shampoo, that stuff works! Use the code word MARTIN for a discount. (20% I think)
@Gabe Webb this implies that everyone has a good head shape. for some people anxiety is real because of that. I never cut my hair because i have inherited larger jewish ears , this still surprises me then i am mixed. I keep my larger volume of loose curls and if i loose a patch i'd be devastated.
unbelievable video! I will recommend to anyone wanting to wise up on the subject. well referenced I have not only learnt lots but I have watched it many times and will be sharing the vid and channel. thanks debunker
My hairline isn't receding! My forehead is just getting bigger!
Are you sure
Your forehead isn't getting bigger, your brain isn't shrinking with age
I'm planning on growing out my butt hair for a combover effect.
ladies love the dingle berry comb over.
I got ear hair to cover my baldy head👂👂👴👍
The thing is, some people have the face shape, the skin color and the bone structure to rock the receding hairline or the full bald. And some...do not. For example, I relied on my thick, wavy hair to compensate for my less than average looks. Styled correctly, it gave me a more intellectual flair and represented accurately how I felt inside. Not beautiful, but comfortably average.
Now that I am balding, my greatest asset in the looks department has been removed. I'll get over it of course, but I do not look good bald. At all. And to people saying it's all in your head. No, it really isn't. People look at me differently now, and it isn't a favorable difference. You shouldn't lie to people going through a difficult experience.
My one consolation is that I am not a balding woman. That truly must be hell and I have great sympathy for any sister in that predicament.
Dude go to the gym and get jacked.
@@marko_s1000r Dude. I don't do steroids and I have a slim body type. I'm already in good shape. Problem is, I'm also bald and that makes me look like a lanky stalker. Sexy. I know.

I feel for you man, Check out (google) "the Maliniak Method" author Maliniak makes a lot of sense and I know him and two of his friends who followed his advice with great success.
Relax I’m sure you’re a great person and that’s really all that matters anyways. I know people suck and they just judge you and will approach you differently based off of how you look. I’m pretty ugly and am losing hair so, whenever I have to go to work or do anything out in public I’m forever just trying to hurry home so I don’t have to be outside anymore. Life is lame af.
I hate getting old. I dont want to be watching this. How did I get here?
There's nothing you can do about it and the sooner you embrace it the better; It's really not an issue unless you make it one, believe me! I'm 39 and have been bald since 27 and yes, it was a freak out at first but once I decided to shave it all off it's genuinely never caused me any issues and hasn't been a problem with relationships. It's a totally normal part of life and there are FAR worse things that can happen to you than losing your hair so please stop stressing about it!
NO! I want my hair back! Ga dang it... ;-;
That's why saitama is bald, he is too strong to have a hair.
😂😂😂
Cameron Ken De Asis he shaved his hair before he got powers.
the big unsolvable mystery is that beards and headhair will grow till they reach the floor. but you can shave a patch of hair on your arm and it will quickly grow back but will not continue to grow or get longer. the hair will simply match the other hair and stop.
Probably so they don't hurt the other shorter hair's feelings... Hahahahaha!
Don't worry about it, one day I ran the clippers through it and never looked back. I used to have long wavy blonde curls surfing in Australia in my teens/early twenties but realistically no one cares if you shave it off. You're fears are your own, not anyone elses and better off owning it early. Girls do like it, because if you have the guts to own it you're better than some guy who bases their existence off how their hair looks.
well said 👏
I started loosing my hair at 18. I used to worry so much about it. It seems silly now. Now I worry about other things like how one day everyone I love will be dead and I will be left alone. :(
Yeah but to top that off, you’ll be bald as well. Not saying you specifically as I am balding and am just waiting for the inevitable losing of it all. I don’t have really any loved ones left anyways, it’s just my grandparents and I don’t think they have tons of time left on this earth. Life right

I think it’s better when it happens at a young age, thus by the time you are 35 you don’t really give a fuck anymore at all , embrace it and things get even better . I’m 40 and started noticing it in my late early 20’s and shaved it off at 27, 33 I stopped caring . 40... I don’t even think about it anymore.

My grandfather had hair on his head till 87 , until he died... Only thing he ever used was apply mustard or coconut oil at night before going to sleep
This has to be the most Informative and Helpful video I’ve ever seen
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!
this gives most of the info I read in journals for sure. well researched
As a licensed Master Barber - I find it VERY troubling that this video only touched on barely 10 seconds of diet information at the very END of the video. This should have been one of the main topics of the video. Some great points were made, but diet is key. Input = output.
Eh, well recently I've been to skid row in downtown LA, saw lots of people who clearly were in the streets for a while (dirty, disheveled and unkempt, unfortunately). with full head of hair like no other. thick and plentiful. It is safe to assume that drug use plus a poor diet was at play. You can't get the best nutrition living and panhandling in the streets. It is mostly genetic and it is why it is emphasized. These were more about debunking myths we've all heard before. But I agree it should be giving more mention. It is mostly about genes than food as diets vary throughout the world.
My moms dad and all her brothers have a full head of hair well into their 60s and my dads side is bald. I started going bald when I was 25
A few years ago I was in a depression. For a couple of years, my air would come out in droves in the shower. Once I got my depression and stress under control, I rarely see a single hair in my hands in the shower. Damage had been done though and it hasnt grown back like they say in this video.
omega 3, minerals, and protein.
@@lovepeacebliss Which minerals?
Bald and make no apology for it. I love being bald and only wear hats when outside for hours (see picture). My hair was thin as a child and by age 20, people would tell me I’m going bald. I waited, in excitement for many years, the day that I would be bald. Now, I’m a bald man that many women are attracted to. Not that I care. I do what I want. Stop caring what other people think, it’s not your business. Besides, they are all imperfect.
Probably the most helpful video on causes and myths about hairloss. Thanks you for sharing such important scientifically tested information!
Thanks and thanks for watching 👍
Why do we have hair if hair clearly doesn't enjoy being on our heads??
My hairloss started 2 years ago when I was 15 and it has not gotten any better
Confidence, inner strength and kindness will get you higher quality women way more than fancy hair. Be the man you were meant to be, dont worry abt the pretty boys....they end up boring and alone. You have been given a gift, it will make you stronger inside, women are drawn to that. Give it a bit of time, you will do fine.
I swear I hate baldness. Getting old is a bitch.
Thank you for doing this. As with anything that people can feel insecure about, 95% of the hair loss information out there is designed to prey on the weak rather than to inform.
Thank you for watching
Long video, but worth it ! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching!
I like the topic and level of research. Great work.
Thanks Manick N
Why TF is this a premier? It's like "want to know the answer to life's biggest question, male pattern baldness? Stayed tuned to find out". I'm not gonna watch this tommorow cause it's not interesting enough to keep my attention until tommorow, I have other stuff to do other than remember to watch a video on why men go bald.
The great thing about a premier is that you can take park in the Live Chat and tag your thoughts and discuss with others 'Live'. We hope you take the time to come back, but understand if it's not your thing and you have other things going on. We appreciate your interest either way.
otherwise this would've gone up at the same time anyway. only difference now is that people can chat about the video before the premiere is being converted to a video. it's not that they delay the upload schedule just for the premiere
"Luckily, in 2018, a study by Dr Hawkshaw may have finally gotten to the root of the problem."
I see what you did there, and I approve.
Had a little bit of thinning at 21, shaved it all off and never looking back, I love it. It's just hair 🤷♂️

Same situation but I hate being bald so much, I'm planning on getting a hair transplant.
@@saljpal3 I’m 20 and my hairline has receded at the temples by around 1.5 inches, I’ll probably get a hair transplant too in a few years.

But the most unbelievable thing happened. I became more confident and women found me more attractive especially cause i started working out.
Kinda sad that your family and friends would make fun
only because you worked out?
Don't let people get to you. That's bad that they make fun of you :(
lmao i know your family would roast you the most
You just took 21 minutes of our lives to tell us if we’re losing hair we’re screwed.
Billy Martin ofc we are screwed because we’re still under 30s

My father has a gnarly comb-over and my mom's father was completely hairless. I've suffered thinning hair for years but have started taking collagen, minimizing stress and trying to naturally boost testosterone. I'm starting to see results
20 years old and shaved my head the other day! For all the young balding guys out there just buzz it off if it bothers you.
I did the same thing
Easier said than done
I myself currently also suffering the Thinning Hair lost during my late 30s. My top is already 45% bald 😒
Debunked in some other video: "You should wash on alternate days so your skin oils have time to replenish"
Also Debunked: 9:42
This video deserve 10+mln view. Sooo, valuable!
I was going bald. I was always wary of it but noticed how bad it was at 27. Had to fight with my doctors to get the medication I’m on. I’m not going bald. Men, do this:
Finasteride pill, once a day in the morning
Minoxidil once a day in the evening.
Finasteride stops the hair falling out; minoxidil encourages hair growth.
I turned 28 in February, and after a year of treatment, my hair is thick and healthy again. Ask a dermatologist to prescribe both medications, and thank us later.
Mouthpiece thank you later? Enjoy the sides lol. Finax causes elevated estrogen levels and minox causes premature aging of skin.
Cameron I can do that too, bro. The odds of getting ED are one in about 200, according to my dermatologist.
Why the hell do you care so much? Being bald doesn't stop most men from getting what they want. Taking a hair growth supplement just reveals your lack of self confidence.
0:07 damn, that's scary as hell. Imagine looking back of your head with mirror then realize that crap...
Better than thinning, at least you can hide a bald spot if you're frontal hairline is still normal.
IMO balding at the back of the head is better. Hats hide it, if you're tall people don't see it as much, losing the front sucks because you just end up with a massive forehead.
Another fantastic video, Debunked! Thank you.
Nobody in my family is/was bald besides my grandmas father on my mothers side. He passed his bald genes to me :(.
The real problem starts with society and our culture acting like this natural and common trait is shameful.
Well, it is not shameful but its funny nonetheless, depending on how one are balding.
It's not that society thinks baldness is shameful, it's that people who it happens to find it undesirable and would have hair if they could.
@@silvershadow7655 nah there's plenty of guys happily bald
@@pepehimovic3135 but most bald men are not bald by choice... They were receding so they shaved it. Look at the comments.
the real problem is bald men are creating offspring they need to stop doing it so there will be less bald DNA
My dad's side of family all have pretty much a full head of hair, and are all under 6' tall. The men on my mom's side however, all started balding in their teens, and are all over 6' tall. So my options were tall and bald, or short with hair. I got the tall and bald. Thanks alot Mom.
Short with thick hair Is better than tall and bald lol hahaha😂
I am 5'8 with thick hair lol
Personally I'd prefer the tall and bald. And unless you're sitting down, no one can see the top of your head anyways ;p
Short and bald lol😅
@@kailashbazala2800 Sounds awful. lol
@@lifeisoverated81 i am not bald but my grandpa is bald so will i
i was told by not only my family and school but even my hairdressers/barbers that washing hair every day is not a good idea and only a few times per week is preferable... my life is literally a lie
I'm washing my hair 2 - 3x a day to wash up the sebum which literally the carrier of DHT causing baldness. My hair looks healthier and fuller😂
@@puringripungtv4996 how it goin
Thanks, I marked all symptoms that I'm going bald. Good to know
This was recommended to me, how does the internet know I am losing my hair???????
They know much more
Fr though i even get ads for hair transplants lmao.
The solution is TO GIVE NO FUCKS ABOUT HAIR LOSS.
Lol
It's not easy, especially at a young age. I won't give a shit about my hair when I'm 60, but now? FUCK NO!

Thank you :) very informative
My grandad started balding in his 20’s, my dad in his 30’s. I was fortunate. I didn’t start losing hair until my late 40’s. I didn’t wait, I started using Rogaine and it stopped it from falling out. I’m 53 now and have just the slight thinning at the crown which hasn’t gotten any worse since I started using it. Of course I’m going to have to use the Rogaine indefinitely.
I'm 30, fully bald and I love it.
Awesome, happy you’ve embraced!
I wish i got your confidence
6:49 Lmao I didn‘t expect to laugh at that
Man i noticed my balding when i was in high school, but as larry david said "anyone with a full head of hair can be confident, but a confident bald man theres your diamond in the rough"
ALOT of people travel to Turkey to get hair-transplant. The prices is less that 50% of other places. I met like at least 50 at the airport when traveling to Athens in February.
I'm starting to go balding at age 23, only have an ugly goatee, can't grow a full beard, never have a girlfriend and still a virgin, RIP.
go fucking gym and get muscle...then you will have great looking.....see the fucking the rock, and other muscular with bald head...still good right ?....dont just thing hair is everything about your looking...if you have bald...go shave and go to gym for better body, believe me you will see the different...dont just give up, me to almost bald in 30, believe me..i know how you feel....but it better to do other thing to look better than just give up and cry about not have thick hair. trust me in this one bro, bald + muscular body is really good.
@@hellboyz166 really doesn't matter if you're ripped lol you could be ripped to shreds and women will still rather choose someone with a dad bod with a thick head of hair than someone like Jason Statham lol and you could have a fit body, healthy head of hair, and STILL not get anywhere with women unless you have some sense of maturity, intelligence, and confidence. And oh! Don't forget height lol because typically women would rather be with someone taller than shorter lol so good luck if you're short, fat, and balding with no sense of intelligence and confidence. Even if you were muscular, short and bald, you'd still be struggling because women AGAIN, like TALLER guys lol
Go for the stubbly look, keep it trimmed pretty low. I've found that girls love it. You'll be lookin like The Rock in no time.
Yo man dont lose hope go to the gym and workout it will boost your confidence.
my moms grandfather had a full head of hair until he had passed away...im 23 and bald lmao damn it
I feel you bro!
I guess it can skip a generation in that sense too
I knew where the journey was going whenever I took a look at my father. I started balding in my mid 20s and tried all the stuff they advertised: Alpecine, Propecia and so on. But all that stuff proved either useless or too expensive.
4 years ago I said "F**k it!" and simply shaved my head and it was the best solution to the problem. I fortunately have a good head shape and a body to back it up (by far not like the Expandables, but quite sporty). Now I don't have to stress about my hairdo in the morning, don't need forever to dry my hair after showering and safe a ton of money since I don't need to go to a hairdresser and don't need hair products.
If there ever is a simple, affordable solution to get my hair back, I'd try it out, but for now simply shaving the head is the best solution for me.
i did the same bro🤛
Thanks for good information :) its help a lot
I would like my armpit hair, pubic hair and nipple hair all fall out and never grow back.
It s crazy to think that we sent men to the moon in 1979 and till date no cure for baldness,humanity sux
agreed, it's ridiculous
1969
dont think they ever went to the moon..
thanks a lot I really appreciate for this video
The structure of DHT at 6:27 is not correct. You forgot to remove the double bond. Great informative video. Thanks
I noticed some thinning in the front right side of my scalp and a bit in the middle. I think mine was due to a combination of stress, buildup of dandruff and only getting 70% of my daily iron. So I keep my stress low, take an iron supplement and shower everyday rather than every other day. I do see some improvement after a couple months. I’ll see what results I get in a few more months.
Hair loss occurs due to the change of the skull shape. When skull shape changes, the capillaries tear.
Any before and after?
My hair is like my girlfriend. It doesnt exist.
Wow 👏
Great information in a single video. Just wow
We can treat all kind of problems but cant treat baldness... come on
Because it only happens to men
HakuChan Yuuki it’s happens to women to
because money
I’m always amazed how we can send men into outer space and unmanned vehicles to run on mars and yet we can seem to solve riddles that cause cancer, baldness and teeth loss and cure them. Btw I wash my hair with water and rarely use shampoo and guess what I have great hair into my 50’s whereas my co workers and other family members are balding. I therefore don’t recommend using shampoo everyday since I believe too many harsh detergents are in many products. Look at PABA which has been in sunscreen for years and now the FDA is discovering it may not be helpful. All these things come out years later
Well that's because it's all genetic's, and every time scientist start messing with genetic's everyone screams "NO YOU'RE PLAYING GOD!" and whatever they were using for their research gets shut down or banned. Cancer isn't some foreign invasive disease it's literally the body experiencing a software error and writing bad code. So if we want to cure cancer we have to play God and get into the DNA, and start changing it.
Plus what scientist to trust is tricky. For example once upon a time everyone cooked with lard and butter it makes food taste great...it's full of fat because well it is fat. So they started pushing margarine, and other butter substitutes. Years later hey guess what that stuff is terrible for you...and Lard? The fat in lard is good healthy fat that your body needs. Moral of the story...if it came out of a lab it's probably got some negative long term effects.
I had a school teacher once who had THE most full beautiful long hair a woman could possibly have. Her secret? Horse manure...yep she washed her hair with some kind of homebrew horse manure concoction.
Solving baldness can be done in two ways: studying the scalp and individual hairs - the way science does it today, promoting hair transplant or shutting down DHT production via drugs. (which is only temporary, costs money and has side effects: case&point theres a gamer called Reckful who is known for his fast reactions in game, best rogue in WOW, 290 words-per-minute , chill, noBS tyep of guy. He was balding so he attempted to take DHT-inhibitors. In a matter of weeks we turned from what he was to very bad a reaction-time (delayed), and turned very melodramatic, apologizing, crying for no reason, 3-5 times a week.)

Heres reading into nervous system, fight-response and its chemical activator/catalysts (adrenaline and DHT):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system
The sympathetic nervous system is described as being antagonistic to
the parasympathetic nervous system which stimulates the body to "feed
and breed" and to (then) "rest-and-digest".
The sympathetic nervous system plays its function in preparing the whole body for action, maintaining homeostasis (constant temp overall), constriction effect used in waking up, in muscle activation, heart-rate incrs., dilating blood vessels and lung capacity. Blocking digestive, kidney and bladder function. Its in contrast with the parasympathetic which promotes digestion, rest, growth and individual organ function. The nerve-activating catalyst for sympathetic response/fight-flight is done via adrenaline or DHT. The activation of parasympathetic dilatate, relax, rest and digest auto-response is done via acetylcholine (ammonia and acetic acid)
The other way to go around DHT is to understand its function in the body and what does it react to.
DHT plays a role in the fight-or-flight mechanism activated in cases of danger-situations, when fast reaction is needed, saving lives, fast decisions. but also in keeping erections and making erections possible.
Because of this I believe DHT to be very volatile, very quick to combust and build pressure, which means it reacts to HEAT, heated environments. A male body is said to be at its most optimal at about 22Celsius, else they get more agressive/ impulsive/ VOLATILE. This is exacerbated by improper clothing societal standards which see men as wearing tight clothing, air-flow restricting pants, which negate the reason why male testicles are situated outside of the body. (to evaporate heat and humidity)
Here's a study done on teaching environments for different sexes, includes a paragraph on temperature and its effects on boys and the chemical composition involved.: boysadrift.com/ed_horizons.pdf
We can look at cultures where men used to wear mainly robes (arabs) or kilts (scotts), do they have more hair on their heads? I believe it is the case. Although arabs do tend to live in hotter climates, which negates point.
Most of the time, us in the western pants-only don't notice that our testicles are kept somtimes at >30-40C, which NEGATES the function or reason why we have the OUTSIDE of the body in the first place; they should be far below average body temp, not sitting around 40C turning the chemicals involved around adrenal/prostate and gonads volatile rather fast, especially when sweating involvedin a closed environment. The upper legs are highly vascularized esp on the inner portion where major blood vessels and femur aeorta are situated.
So there are two ways to keep DHT production in check:
Voluntarily, through mental choices: avoid stress, dangerous situations, avoid feeling emotios like despair, fear, hopelessness. (I KNOW, nigh impossible and UNPRACTICAL)
Involuntarily, at an environment level: make sure that your body is properly ventilated (by body I mostly mean the upper thigh/groin region), make sure you're not doing any heavy work in an anaerobic (low-oxygen heated) envirnoment. (hot climates have less oxygen per square meter than colder regions)
Respect the body homeostasis, don't keep one part of the body covered, pressurized at 40C while the other is exposed at 10C, the difference in temps can only get more accentuated, Instead try covering everything equally, so its sits at an average 22C.(if male, 26.5 if female)
DHT and male susceptability to heat (22C optimal environent, turning lethargic/unfocused and eventually aggressive at higher temps) boysadrift.com/ed_horizons.pdf
