Enormous respect for this guy to be so light and funny about it. For most men it's really traumatising, especially at age 16!!
I've never really understood why men worry so much about balding. I mean, yes, at 16 it would be scary, but I mean overall. Women understand that many men are going to be in some stage of balding, and I've often found bald or baldING men very attractive.
@@annehedonia156 how many 18 year old girls dig a pale bald guy? Not too many compared to those who dig a guy with an 18 year olds expected amount of hair.
@@cringlez1096 and how many bald women have you men dated in the first place? Y'all be balding and still want a woman who looks like kylie jenner 24*7 yet you want her to be 'natural'. Take a hike pls
@@annehedonia156 well, I guess it's different from their perspective. I don't understand it either since balding is extremely common (not at 16 ofc, somewhere starting from early 20s), but I do understand that when you look at yourself in the mirror you notice every 'negative' detail that people might not notice/or care about at all.
@@_o6629
Don't project your insecurities. Men nowadays will literally fall for anyone that shows them affection, I don't know where you got that "Kylie Jenner 24/7" from. And women don't bald naturally so your misandric point is moot from the start anyways.
Go outside, stop living in social media pls.
It's nice that he shared his story and overcame his insecurities
What insecurities, this man really thought he looked like a tiktok f*ckboy before lol
Less goo baldy gang
Sosig
He did not overcome insecurities - he shaved them off! 😎
@@volo870 acceptance.
Dr. Linkov has such a calming voice. If someone made a supercut of his calm speaking, the ASMR community would flock to it. Even the vocal fry is not too scratchy
Absolutely agree with you. I watch his videos back to back and something about this man's voice is so soothing and beautiful. I'm such a fan and I'm so glad I found his channel.
He certainly has the temperament of a surgeon.
This guy is a hoot. I'm glad his teenage experience with hair loss didn't traumatize him.
Apparently it did... Or had had.... This is sort of also why you hear so many jokes about the matter. But all in all; this video share was a very healthy out-break to compare to the mistakes a lot of us make about things that hurt/have hurt us.
My husband used to have such gorgeous hair when he was younger and when he started balding it was very traumatic at first. But after a while he just embraced it and shaved it off and is finally convinced that bald is cool too. 🙂
If only it was also equally as cool for women.
People just ask if you're going through chemo 😭

@@lwagner1723 Hopefully it will be accepted and seen as normal if women also choose to shave their hair off!
Even if women don't experience as severe hairloss, it can still get really thin for some women.
It would be cool if it got accepted for women to also shave their head. And imagine all the money and time saved too... 😅
@@36137 totally 😆
@@lwagner1723 I think this is backwards my friend. Women are widely accepted when they choose or have to go bald, men on the other hand are shamed for it. Just go on social media, it's one of the most used hate comments or things women put men down for. I feel bad for those guys who unfortunately have to deal with that and women, but we can't just act like women don't use baldness as a backup thing to make fun of when something doesn't align with them
Radal is hilarious! Btw, I'm glad he's reached a stage in his hairloss journey where he's confident and at peace with his situation :))
Radal just made a video about this surgeon reacting to video. Very comically.
My father started to bald right out of high school, and he had almost no hair by the time he died (57). He wore hats pretty much 24/7, and I wish he embraced his baldness. There’s nothing wrong with being bald. Much love to all bald(ing) people. You deserve to be happy and feel confident.
Maybe he just liked hats, nothing wrong with liking hats
@@joejo4549 No, I know he disliked being bald.
there is nothing morally wrong with being bald. But humans are animals and we do not judge purely based off of moral character. We are superficial, just like every other creature.
Your father simply didn’t want to look like a thug.
This man cracked me up so much and made me feel a lot better 😂 thanks for commenting on his story!
Wasn’t expecting to laugh so hard 🤣 loved his editing + your commentary 😆
Oh wow you have amazing hair!
Radal the best editor in all of CZcams
Do you mean gary or radal?
Andrey Tetovic, I am actually crying. This joke needs more recognition
Here after radal reaction on this video

I applaud Radal for being brave talking openly about balding, and then just shaving it off. And the best part is that he is happy with his choice. If he wanted to get hair restoration, that would be fine too. As long as he is happy with his choice.
Sad thing is that hair restoration isn't always guaranteed to work. Some need multiple hair transplants. :^( also finasteride for the rest of your life with possible side effects
I think he looks great with a shaved head! Love his humour too. Good on him!
@@rhythmandblues_alibi Definitely don’t think hair was an improvement for him. I have a friend who’s 40 & trying everything to maintain his gorgeous mane, cause that’s really the only thing that makes him look approachable.
I love this guy's confidence and way of speaking. I'm glad he came to terms with it and is happy he went bald
Sosig gang member here, very epic video 😎😎👍
Thank you!
You do have a great head shape though.
I think Doc is super hot
This man is so funny, I appreciate him for that, being able to laugh at ourselves is indeed one of the best skill to master.
I like how open this guy was about his hairloss experience.
My husband ended up getting PRP injections on top of Minoxidil and I think he now has more hair than me. His hair was extremely thin around 25.
Nice nice nice. Thanks. Will do the same. Life saver.
I thoroughly loved this new expression of acceptance. Yes, there are ways to fix things but having a a good sense of humor can teach us to enjoy ourselves, enjoy our family and friends and especially to enjoy our journey through this life.
I lost my hair due to chemotherapy - my mum was super proud of how symmetrical my head was! It was a surprisingly liberating experience, I had hair half way down my back and cut it off my self. It was nice having control of the process
As a guy that used to rock long hair I appreciate this video! I'm 33, and was thinning for years. My shave day was so great. Little did I know I'm better looking bald. Wish I'd of known that years ago! Love the channel, and the knowledge you share it's awesome 🤘
i wish every hair transplant doctor was as realistic, honest and down to earth as you!
I love his energy and funny personality, it's what you need when you're down and balding.
Here from the Radal channel, love your demeanor man! ❤️
Bro you're such an interesting surgeon I've seen in social media, after watching radals reaction to you caught my attention to here, it's pretty interesting about the explanation to Radal's condition.
I appreciate that!
I met a kid in the military that had the typical male pattern baldness at 18 years old. Blew my mind because I didn't know it could happen so early, especially so progressed.
Don’t be surprised when this world is disgusting and broken.
Gary, I hate most Dr. I like that you point out the healthy aspects of their journeys, It feels like you want to help by sharing how others could follow. I have all my hair at 35 despite light androgen use in my 20s and now trt, I just like learning about the biology and medical treatments. You balance learning, humor, and positivity very well, its a good vibe. Keep doing what you are doing. Boom.
Love the fun approach that the doc gives to his videos 👍👍
I started microneedling of all 2 months ago and I have seen a big improvement in my hair density but I could totally relate about feeling insecure and always trying to hide the crown of your head with hair fibers or comb overs cuz it would make me feel like people make fun of me or did I look that much older.
I'm 34 years old right now and I'm still not ready to lose my hair I'm doing everything I can to keep it DHT blockers microneedling minoxidil.
And saving money so I can get a hair transplant in the future.
My hats off to all the men that have the courage to shave off their head.
Nice
Same bro. Take finasteride at minimum and save up for that hair transplant.
Resist the curse of the slaphead, haha
@@cupofmozzarella but doesn't finasteride cause 🍆 problems?
@@thatpoeticthug funnily enough when I was on it, I was getting harder and longer erections. Though I am no longer on it due to my paranoia... though I am pretty sure I was developing gyno.
@@rcl300018 crazy the main reason I don't take finasteride It's the rumors i hear about it.
as a memeber of the sosig gang, i really like this video and your opinions!
I love the recommendations for the channels you react to! The creators are so talented!
It's funny because the way he described finally shaving it off perfectly describes how it felt for me. But i also had psoriasis which made it a pain to keep applying shit to your scalp if you have a lot of hair. But man it's so freeing once you get over the first part where you just look weird to yourself.
Gary, one of my childhood best friends developed Alopecia areata in 9th grade (unnoticed for a while because he had his hair in a mowhawk for a year.) So I really feel for you and hope you're confidence is getting a huge boost with how much people are enjoying your content!
You are so kind to others buddy!
I've recently subscribed and have watched many, many of the doc's videos. This is by far my favorite!
The genetic angle is indeed complicated. My paternal side everyone has a full head of dark thick hair, and when my Dad died at age 78 we buried him with a beautiful head of barely salt and pepper hair. It was thinner than his younger days but no balding. My mother's hair is an opposite story, she had thin and fine hair and was turning grey in her 30's. There are 5 of us siblings. I am the oldest. Three of my sisters are practically bald,; my brother is bald. All four of them are grey now (we are all boomers), but I just have a fine streak of grey along my forehead. The rest of it is still a dark brown. My hair is fine but I used to have a lot of it but in recent years I have gone through periods of shedding. I have been on Minoxidil for several years and that has pretty much put a stop to it. Apparently I was the only one to get anything close to my father's genes, my 4 siblings and my daughter inherited my mother's hair genes. Go figure.
Was your mothers father bald as well?
You're 60 with all brown hair?!?
just eat keto diet or aajonus vonderplanitz primal natural human diet that alk
@@lisettegarcia Other than a streak at my temples and forehead of about a half an inch, yes.
@@cellgrrl so, okay, not all brown
As a woman, when I was married I got deeply depressed and a day woke up to 3 bald spots about 3cm duameter and I freaked out, started taking biotin and used minoxidil (even though it's not recommended for women) and it worked pretty well. Few years after I shaved my had just out of boredom and I realized I looked good so I felt like a fool for having freaked out about my alopecia but I totally understand him trying to hide it in the beginning.
Luckily I have really thick curly hair so my bald spots were hidden by my curls, but still affected my mental health a lot, specially cause I was already going through stuff that made me have alopecia in the first place.
I'm 32 and slowly starting to bald. Honestly, before this video, I thought there was no therapy, because that's what my friends were replied to, when they started balding.
Gary thank you for what you do. Your so inspirational. I have alopecia areta universalis and I have struggles with it for years. It's really beats down a person. Keep doing what your doing. I support you to the fullest. Thanks again Gary.
Lol such a humble guy, made me laugh. Don't worry man, we're all going through it.
That is one great guy and full of smile inducing personality. His character needs no green screen, the camera only captures who he is all around.
I actually set an appointment because of that video, thanks Doc. Btw I watched Radal video some time ago but it didn’t convinced me.
Amazing he’s so light about all this. Comedy from dark stuff is something I respect so much. I have a condition effecting my diet and intake of food! I lost hair but honestly his confident is amazing. Iv still got plenty but freaked me out. So honestly so much respect! I’m on menoxidil now and vitamins. And if I need tablets but I’m just finding so much comfort from this video
Love the storytelling style
Doc, your eyebrows are almost back . It's very noticeable, I'm so glad.
this genuinely make me happy to see. I have alopecia areata too. Just a month and a half ago I gave in and shaved the last few thin tuffs of what was once a pretty thick hair.
A year ago I had hair similar to disneys Snow-white. Today I could be egghead from Batman. It's been a journey for sure
I hope your hair will grow back soon. My battle was 6 years long before it stabilized
Love your channel, please keep it up! Question, have you or will you chat about future state of hair restoration technology, specifically lab grown follicles that will, hopefully, become the mainstay if the technology bores out? And would you begin to train and offer that service if the industry progresses to this offering as a norm?
Whoa, you got way more hair than I'm used to seeing Dr Linkov-hope something is workin for ya and it isn't just temporary. 🤘🏻
I had no idea who this guy was but he has great energy and I like his editing, the flamingo in the back was the cherry on top hahaha
I like his honesty and the funny way he tell his story. Also how Radal just embraced the bald look, which in honesty, looks way better than the combover he was sporting before👍
Its nice that he spoked about it, he is so funny also 🤩 its so nice how he see the good part of this
It's nice that Radal has such a good sense of humor about his experience.
Wow I haven't watched Dr Gary's newer videos for some time and I noticed how different his eyebrows look. It's weird seeing him with actual eyebrows because I started watching his videos right after he shaved his remaining hair
Welcome back! Don't leave us again :((
@@drgarylinkov I've been noticing your brow hair too. They look like mine 😅. Lil half brows
17:53 It's called the "Just shave it bro!"
Wrestler Shawn Michaels had this type of balding for years. It wasn't quite as diffuse, however. He used his strong forelock hair to slick it back into a ponytail and held it together with a rubber band. It wasn't until the last 5 years that it got noticeable to the point where he shaved it off entirely. There are definitely ways around it if you still have a strong hairline. IMO he'd be a good candidate for SMP if he doesn't want to go too invasive.
Most guys look great bald. Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
Many guys look really great bald.
You really do have a nice head shape Dr. Gary. And you look good with the new eyebrows and shadow mustache
It always breaks my heart how much baldness is an insecurity for people, especially men. Obviously any disconnect between how you desire to look and how you actually look can make people insecure, but I genuinely think that bald/really short hair is such a great look on so many people. I wish baldness were always a choice, rather than something that happens to people against their will, but I hope it eases someone's insecurity just a little to know that there are so so so many people who find baldness to be very handsome
Loved your reaction. Loved his vid. Lads!
I love the thumbnail of this video 😂❤️
This is so cute 😂😂 love it, I'm so happy for him
I keep coming back to this when I need to feel energy ^_^
I had to watch this guy again, because he's hilarious. 😂👏
My son started balding at 18 from the crown forward he's 27 now. I always thought it had started because of his diabetes. He just wouldn't take his meds and his numbers would be 300-400 (he's on meds now). It took us years to convince him to shave his head, he agreed to shave to a 1 and he feels better for doing so. I watched my son go throw exactly everything he did broke my heart now he's happier and that all that matters
You need to realize the big thing about it all. You live in a world God didn’t want, death. And you seen elements of death everywhere in subtle ways. But the world tells you it’s normal to cover up its sicknesses.
omg RADAL i havent seen in a long while
I love your new look…totally agree, being bald is way more attractive than balding! Bald is very 🥰
Dear Doctor, you have officially become part of sosig gang!
I am interested in what type of therapies are available to older, post menopausal woman who have had PCOS. I struggled with PCOS, and now have male-pattern baldness and I'm 57. In my teens my hair was lush and dark, wavy brown. Now it's thin, rather stringy gray, and retains little wave. Unfortunately I'm also relatively poor, widowed three years ago, on disability and I doubt Medicare thinks a hair transplant is medically necessary! Thank you! I am watching your videos after seeing your reaction to a Doctor Mike video. Glad to have found you!!
And then get some graphs.. I’m going to what your video on that.
God bless you man for what you’re doing
I have a coworker who's 22 and is totally bald. I knew I was losing my hair since about 16, but now I'm 26 and suprising still Norwood 1. Thought I'd be way worst at this age 😁
I’m so happy for him
Great video
Your channel is great. I have always been paranoid about my hair and like that my head looks ok when shaved. You look great Dr. Greg. I have had a small spot at my part my whole life and always paranoid it would grow. If anything at all has happened in 30 years, besides turning much white, it has been from me poking and prodding the spot. When they cut a fade it is not visible at all but when I grow out my hair it is just a divot in my hairline I have had my whole life.. I certainly recommend medical intervention for friends. Mexicans are less subject? My dad is like a Norwood 3 at 70, but I feel he has been there since his 20s. Such a weird mixed bag in the roulette wheel of hair genes.
I'm turning 22 this year and face a similar situation, sadly therapy is not an option since it can get quite expensive where I live. Hope I'll gather as much courage as he did before I look like a young grandpa :D
Lots of young folks rock the bald look, you just gotta style it differently!
Here in india topical minxodil cost 3$ and oral finasteride also cost 3$ per month and i earn 5000$ per month 💀💀💀💀💀
This dude was hilarious 😂 When he compared himself to the avatar I was like wait a minute Dr Gary kinda could be adult Aang. Definitely a great head shape
I have a friend who's bald, and after he got covid he started losing his eyebrows. Apparently this is semi-common? Could you do a video on covid and hair loss?
Like he says about weight loss/gain, if your body or mind is going through a lot then your hair can fall out.
The dude in this video is very funny. I'm glad he's found new confidence after shaving his head. It really looks good on him too!
My brother’s hair went white by his mid-twenties. He tried dying it and he just looked ridiculous because he’d have to keep getting his roots done so he stopped. 30 years later he’s still got a full head of hair as do I but I’m rapidly catching up with him in the silver department.
my husband’s the same! He started going grey in middle school and now at age 35 he’s entirely silver. He dyed it when we first met but eventually felt like it was a waste of time and money (not to mention it damaged his already-crappy hair) and now I think he looks great! No hints of hair loss yet but the silver hair is definitely a talking point (he’s Japanese/we’re in Japan and sometimes he gets crap from people who think he’s dyed it silver on purpose lol)
my first white (more silver looking honestly) hair appeared when I was 9 or 11. my mom noticed it.
when i was 15 it was silver all over
I'm 22 and it's pretty much the same as when I was 15
my hair is still clearly brown but it has a lot of noticeable silver everywhere
I think it looks cool
You look good bald Doc!!! No BS!
I shaved my head because I wanted to (no medical reasons). I didn’t do it for aesthetics either. I didn’t find myself beautiful in the mirror afterwards but it was fun to experience. It was so strange to really FEEL the water on my skull, I was used to have my thick hair cover it. I recommend the experience to anyone that doesn’t have a problem with being less attractive for a while. I think I may be privileged though because most of my friends told me I had a beautiful skull shape and that it wasn’t weird or anything. Maybe if I had an alien head it might’ve been less funny to do.
I shaved my head with clippers(no guard)at 18 because I was stoned, bored and rewatching breaking bad. I really liked the look and shaved my head the whole summer, because it kept my head cool when i went to the pool and I really liked the look. When I started college I started growing my hair long, and at 20 I noticed it had diffused a bit. I freaked out and went to a barber to cut my long locks off into my old hairstyle from highschool and it looked great. I grew it long again and it's bascically the same unnoticeable lightly diffused hair I had at 20. Because I know how I look with a shaved head and beard, and like it I know I will probably shave it if it gets too bad. But I really like having long hair, so I'm gonna roll with that for as long as I can.
@@fbj1223 yeah if I knew I had a limited time to appreciate my hair I wouldn't have shaved it I think... I would've kept loooooooong hair and shaved it when I started to get bald. But thankfully I'm a woman I don't have to think about that 😂
I shaved my hair 2 fucking times and both time was on accident you don't know the pain of the regret i got because i was like "WHY DID I FUCKING SHAVED MY HAIR"
@@LucieKitsunee how can you shave your hair on accident ? 😂
@@victoriia I meant I flopped my haircut and had to shave it entirely
The nice shave thing is real! Having a symmetrical, smooth-looking skull can be attractive as all hell.
I know from experience because my husband, growing up, always had a pretty large forehead with a high hairline and a pretty small chin, when I met him he had been balding for a few years and decided to shave all his hair off and grow a beard, which is quite full nowadays. That's why looking at his old photos is always jarring to me, because the ratios of his face were all off and I think he looks so much better now.
OMG that dude is hilarious...thanks for giving me a cool new channel to subscribe to! He's awesome!
I had several gray hairs since my teens. Early in my adulthood I decided to shave my head. I let my hair grow a bit and found out that I was balding. Thought that shaving my head was ruining my scalp somehow. I still shave my head because I like it. Didn’t know until years later that my father had it worse than I did.
Super,super😊 ! "A boy named Sue..." ❤❤❤
I'm glad for you to have your eyebrows grow back and a bit of mustache :D
I had Alopecia areata from my neck upwards and half the top of my head from my temple went bald. I lost more than half my head and was worried the baldness front and back of my head would meet in middle. I literally was on every antibiotic and had steroid ointments but they only thing that made it grow back was actually regularly scraping the bald patches and encourage the skin, freshen the follicles they came back with thin grey hairs, i protected with my life until they became brown and fuller again.
That's traumatizing. Hope all's well now
Honestly, my hair is such a big part of my life and losing it is such a big fear of mine
After having my son my hair started to fall out so I decided to shave it all off, total GI Jane, and it was the best thing I could've done. It was so much easier not having to bother about my hair on a morning whilst taking care of a new baby. I've grown and shaved it again a couple of times since x
Dr. Gary Linkov, who do we go to for hair loss medical therapy? What is the doctor's title/position?
My best friend is 31 and balding.
Legend
Can you make a video about post finansterid syndrome? Or what are your experiences/thoughts about that topic?
I'm not sure finasteride would be appropriate for a 16y/o male with androgenic alopecia because their body may not have finished developing by that point. While finasteride may slow or prevent the progression of hair loss in these patients, it could restrict further growth in height. This is because in preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), it causes an increase in free testosterone in the body. Although testosterone has a reduced androgenic effect (is less potent) compared to DHT in hair and skin, the testosterone increase can cause an increase in estrogen, as testosterone can be converted into estrogen. While this estrogen increase is negligible in most developed adults, it may prevent younger patients from reaching their height potential. This is because the growth plate in the long bones is regulated by the cumulative estrogen concentration, whereby when a threshold concentration is exceeded, the growth plate will begin to close. This is why women (on average) tend to be shorter than men, as women ordinarily have much higher serum estrogen concentrations compared to men. Just something for younger people starting finasteride to bear in mind :)
Will it prevent facial hair development in younger men aswell?
@@peyton.simpson Yes, it can prevent facial and body hair from developing further/ slow facial and body hair development, although if you were to stop finasteride the facial and body hair would continue to develop as normal, but so would the hair loss that you were trying to prevent. Unfortunately this is not the case for height, so if finasteride was to cause the growth plate to fuse prematurely then stopping the medication would not reverse this. Once the growth plates fuse, you cannot grow taller
I'm 17 and growth plates closed
Will naturally my face grows after that plates are closed? Like some bones in jaw and cheeks?
If not then I would use Finastride
Pick one lol bald or short
Mannn, listening to this guy took me on a trip to Europe, I love it 😂 Called his granny babushka 💖 I'm gonna start saying brother all the time now
I pray my doctor can tell me if my hair loss is permanent. I’m just sick over losing my hair at 61 . This is soooo devastating. Wish I could get a hair transplant. Wish wish. I had beautiful hair 2 months ago . It’s October 3 2022. My heart goes out to all u woman & men . Hope u fine a cure. By the way Dr you look amazing & confident. God bless you & your work. ❤
Lol lets go he uploaded it
That’s what it is ! Eyebrows, and maybe a bit of a moustache shadow....? Super handsome either way 😁. As someone once said ....“ cute is when your personality shines through your good looks “ Keep up the great content .
Have you ever read roald Dahl's book called the twits? I loved those books as a kid and this saying reminds me of something in his book. "A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
Totally agree, well said !
i have shaved off my hair twice and it did feel good but i didn't have the courage to be in public without a hat. The only public i was comfortable exposing my bald head to was my friends and family who did poke fun here and there but that didn't bother me. Great video
Once I started losing my hair around 27-28 I just let it go and cut it off. Now I’m 33 and have been rocking the baldy with a beard ever since and I enjoy the look
Hey Dr. Gary, is it common for hair restoration clinics to have a minimum price and/or number of grafts for the hair transplant procedures that they offer?
I know I can look it up but is there a way to remove all hair from the head? As a man whose shaved his head since middle school with brief periods of growing it out just fine when younger, and now both balding and loving being bald I’d love to have it all be gone. Only if there’s minimal scalp scarring though. Shower-shaving isn’t that inconvenient, just hate when it’s growing out at all. Nice upload, always a joy
Wanted to say, that dude would be a good hair transplant giveaway for you.
