#Baldcafe #goingbald #Balding
Recently I buzzed mine off. Best thing I've done. Like you I had plenty if not most people saying 'your fine, you've got plenty of time left'. This prolonged shaving it off until I realized I was only keeping my hair to please others. Many people like family and my girlfriend tried to convince me not to shave it until about 3 weeks ago when I went to my barbers, and for the last time I said, I hate my hair. Right there we took it to a 2. This although a positive step, highlighted my hair loss more, so a few days later I went to a 0.
I had both positive and negative responses from others but most importantly for myself, I didn't have that worry which plagued me for the last 3 years. I'm not conscious of kneeling or sitting down and others seeing my thin hair. I'm not worried about getting a hair cut to cover my receding hair line. I'm bald and proud.
I love what you do on this channel. I don't think anyone realizes what hair loss can do to a man and just how many people it affects until they go through it.
But the total shave highlights the hair loss as complete and total doesn't it? Not saying it's a bad thing to totally shave but why does a horseshoe makes people feel nervous or bad but a total skin shave doesn't. I for one think a horseshoe looks good if done right. Watch the first season of star trek the next generation to see how Patrick Stewarts horseshoe looked. It framed his face perfectly and looked pretty cool.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733for me I think it's a statement to myself that I'm done with hair loss. Each to their own. I'm not trying to hide anything or hold on to my hair anymore 👍
Man sounds almost exactly like my journey/thoughts with it. 🫡 to you.
What ur gf say
Well said
I got bald when I was 19. Now i'm 21 and just got a glue-on wig. Really feel great again and starting dating a girl who I like really much. She hasn't noticed that I used to be bald, so it's really working! We're getting married this summer!
does she know?
💀☠️
its probably a joke but thats so fucked
So... She doesn't actually know the truth? That u are bald 💀
6 years to reach that perfect horseshoe💪🏼 You look great with every hairstyle Harry
facts, he's proof that a handsome man can look great with his hair in any condition
I think the same
@@CurtisC685 that's not a proof of nothing. He'd still look ways better with hair lol
@@let0atreides I mean almost everyone does, but it still doesn't mean he doesn't look great now. That's all I'm saying
It’s proof that losing your hair isn’t the “life ruiner” that we fear it will be when we start balding.
I first shaved my head when I was around 17. Very young but my dad is as bald as it gets and I kind of knew that hair loss was inevitable. So as soon as I've first spotted that my hair density going down and hairline receding, I went all in. I realized that I didn't want to dwell on it and drawn in self pity so I thought let's do it and forget the anxiety. I'm 39 now and I'm kind of proud of 17 year old me for having enough courage to accept the cards I'm delt with and make one of the most important right decisions in my life.
Get a hair system, you will feel like a God.
@@EvilBard666 My man I already feel like Kratos
@@TurkmenDissidentTV its a cope, men with hair will mog you.
@@TurkmenDissidentTV hard af response
respect
What a journey mate. It’s so great to see how much your confidence has grown since taking control and buzzing it off
For real brother 👍
Shaving my head was the best thing that happened to me, I dont feel insecure about my thining hair I can be myself again like i was before my hair loss. Started thining 24/25ish now 30 loving the bald look
King 👑
Scalp micropigmentation would suit you so well bro. Youve got a sick headshape for it.
Shave your hair, and gain your confidence. You'll never be the same again.
Reminds me of that song that Mel C (sporty spice) sung 👍 “things will never be the same again 🎶 “
U looked way better with hair
@@shred9475why are you even here then?
You did the right thing. Getting relieved of the fact that you were balding and accepting it is massive. So many do just the opposite, I'm not balding but I have noticed a hair loss that made me lose my confidence and panic. It is so refreshing your approach.
Hair systems nowadays are amazing....its dumb to go full bald. Having hair helps your job promotions.
There’s so much power and strength in showing yourself vulnerable just like you did in this video. By showing your balding progress without hesitation you’re sending a massive message of confidence. All to say, it’s refreshing seeing a balding guy who keeps some hair (whatever’s left) on his head and rocking the look like you do!! It looks so regal and masculine at the same time 🙌🏼. Sometimes it feels like society urges balding guys to take the plunge and shave it…it shouldn’t be like that.

@@BaldcafeThose videos with the high pitch voice are gold! And I mean that in the best way. You seem like such a positive dude. Don’t ever stop doing this.
This video is a remainder that i should take care of my hair before it’s all gone… take care of what you have and have gratitude ❤
There is nothing you can do to stop the hairloss except for going drugs like finastride while you still have most of your hair.
Thanks for sharing your journey ❤
fascinating the really bald patch behind your ear - if that was stress induced you were totally right to stop worrying and go for the shaved look. That sort of balding is not treatable with finasteride! I have had 3 transplants and daily oral minoxidil and finasteride tablets, and scalp micropigmentation treatment on the FUE scars as well. It's a LOT of effort to get the hair looking like I don't have male patterned baldness, and not for everyone. If I was as handsome as you I probably would have shaved it all!
Solid honesty brother 👍
Harry could literally make any content and we are up for it! XD
Appreciate you bro 👌
I’m only 21 but it’s starting to progress pretty bad. Thank you, it’s reassuring to see such a great community where we’re all learning through this together
I shaved mine off 2 weeks ago after years of constantly wearing a beanie and having long hair to hide it. Took it straight down to a 0. I know this channel is usually about loving the whole shaving thing. But honestly, I HATED it. I have a pretty big scar from cracking my skull as an infant. I had no clue how massive it was until now. Currently I'm rocking the stubble. I'm somewhere in the norwood 3 range.
Personally, I think I'm going the transplant route. Props and mad respect to all of you. Seriously. If I thought I could rock the bald look, I would. I gave it a shot and did not like it. And that's fine with me too. Im glad I did it. It let me see a side of me I had never seen before and was/am terrified of. It has definitely been an experience. A massive change.
I would still be the 31 year old wearing a beanie if it wasn't for this channel. It has definitely helped me a lot through the past few months. Seeing that it isn't just me.
Who knows. Maybe in a few more weeks I will accept it better. Idk. Some days I don't mind that much and others it freaks me the heck out.
Regardless, you're doing an amazing thing on this channel. This all needs to be spoken about more often in the world. It's a struggle to peoples confidence, which is a huge issue. Whether you rock the bald, hold on to what you have, or get a transplant, at the end of the day, you need to do what makes you feel confident.
Best of luck out there everyone!
The transplant won't solve anything. There is no transplant that will give you enough density. You will still have to take medicine for life. You will continue to constantly think about your hair every day. We must demand a real solution.
You have to take Dht blockers for the rest of your Life.... With the side effects. Not worth It.
Yeah it's great when people love the results and I'd totally get the relief of it. I buzzed mine early on with hair loss. And hated it. Head shape, the look didn't work on me at all. I lost confidence. That was a long, long time ago. I don't know if it was worth the stress of it all growing back, styling, worrying, treatments etc. But I did have quite a few years of decent enough hair. Now it's a bit worse and wondering what to do next. Some days I think buzz it off and move on, but still remember how much I hated that look on me.
Harry great honest content.
Thank you 👍 always
Was full on expecting the iconic bald and beard avi pic in the denim jacket when you were showing the insta mod posts. 😅👍🏻👊🏻
That is peak BC can't lie.
black guy here from nyc. You're a good man. I just wanted you to know that. you helped me a lot. thank you
Appreciate you man 🤝 thank you.
Amazing how quickly it progressed from December 2016 to December 2017
Pretty rapid for sure 👍
Great video! And it's horrible the early stages of balding! You have to own it 🙏
Some people just look good bald and some don’t
U are lucky u do bro 👍
Great video!! Cheeky little recap on the journey so far 🤙🏻
Cheers Tommy 👍 these are some of my faves in all honesty. A good look back
GREAT content !
Thank you brother
Helium Harry isn’t real he can’t hurt you
Also Harry at 6:12 🥶
💀
My story is very similar. Also lost it quite fast and also in the same diffuse pattern. Very little hairline recession and the hair held itself there for the longest. Still have a widows peak but the rest is bald😂People were telling me I was crazy because I shaved it so early, but as you kinda said too, its more of a mental thing than an "amount of hair" thing.
100% it’s a mental battle
I love this channel
lets go ! thanks for the video
My pleasure brother r
Legend!
Your a brave beautiful soul for showing the world
Thanks
You are most welcome
whatttt??????? 06:12 how is that possible???
it doesn't sound like you at all. I'm somehow blown away by that 🤣 forgot the video was about balding.
Mad right. In my brain I was talking normally too 😂
interesting to see the increase in beard density too. Not a crazy change but even that slight increase in density has made a big difference in the look of the moustache for example.
I agree. My beard made big progress at like 29/30 years old
Thak you for this video brother, you still look good imo! What was your age in the December 2016 videos though?
Thank you for this comparison. You're a legend.
My pleasure!
Great video review. 6 years in, what is your go to method for head shaving. Do you use an electric razor or a razor and shaving cream/soap? What model/brand of razor do you prefer?
Hey man, I remember you mentioned you were annoyed when first going bald as you were considering acting, what are your thoughts on that now?
Nice video bro ❤🎉
Thanks man 👍 appreciate you
Great musicianship
😂 thank you.
Man, I shave my head for a little bit than one year now, and your video made me realize that I used to control my hair, I totally forgot about that lol
Damn you looked great with hair. Baldness is a curse, no matter how much we cope and try accepting it.
its only a curse as long as you are letting it dictate your self worth.
Hell yeah @@Baldcafe
Wtf are you talking about. The guy looks 10x better now 😂
@@Baldcafe Sadly no girl thinks that way, unless she a 4 herself.
Can't wait for the next progress update! Keep up the great hair loss! It's gonna be worth the wait man.
King of the thumbs
GREAT VIDEO..ITS A PITY YOU SUFFERED SO MUCH..LUCKILY YOU LOOK GREAT NOW..MATT FROM ARGENTINA
Thanks Matt from Argentina. All the best from Harry in England 👍
Hi from Geral of Rivia. Lmao!
I'm Soo envious of you guys with a good cranium shape my skull is just soo asymmetric 😂
Even a good jawline can help you to have a good look shaved.
@@Jokerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yes this is true
@@giancarloespejo2223 meeks>>>> 99% of models with hair.. but unfortunately is a rare case 🥹🥹
Honestly, you looked way better with a full head of hair. You are still very handsome even with no hair but hair made a big difference for you, just like it does for everyone. But yeah, it's probably better to shave it all off once hairline and density goes beyond a certain point.
You basically have the perfect head for a shaved-head look so I think you got a longer end of the stick there. A lot of guys that are balding won't be so fortunate.
We all got pros we all got cons 👍
OOO please.. He looked 10 times better in his 2017 video and he does not have the perfect head shape to rock a bald look. We need to quit the BS lying
Bald looks good on literally everyone
@@michaelangst6078Please get help for your mental health
Love the 🧲‼️
I remember how much you hated the horseshoe but now after developing the full horseshoe you look good with it
Personally i think the fully developed horseshoe looks better than the thinning on top
Yeah man, that time I spent growing it out did me absolute wonders honestly. Really freed me mentally
@@Baldcafe I appreciate you embracing the balding look and helping to normalize it. People tend to settle on the extremes (going fully shaved VS hair treatments) but it's ok to be in the middle without stressing about it. I just buzz my hair 2-3 times a month and it's fine with me. I don't have the energy or will to razor shave every few days
I feel so sad, you look so good with hair😢
from chad to dad
No reason to feel sad bro. This is the beauty of life. Making it to this point is a blessing not all get and there are much bigger headaches I will face.
Stop the obsession with the hair
Believe me or not.
I prefer you now than 2016
More masculine, more adult, more solid and better look and style
Great video! I'm on my way to get a full horseshoe but I'm not yet there.
I can't wait to hit the point when I'll be able to sport it naturally, since I am kind of diffuse NW6...
Keep pushing king 👍 It will come and with it, glory.
Thanks a lot!
I think I'll be there in a year or two maximum.
You are a Legend Bro ⚡⚡⚡⚡
Us legends collect here. Glad to have you a part of all this bro
@@Baldcafe An honour my Brother. All the best, keep up the good work 🤝🏽
You're a handsome lad.
Too kind
@@Baldcafe No homo but you are buddy not everyone can rock the Bald looking or not shaving looking and still look good... trust me lol.
@@Baldcafe You are. And many of your guests are too. With or without hair. I am not that fortunate and shaving it off will probably make it worse.
He was (from the outside)... now he is from the inside.
You looked pretty similar to 7 years ago. Would have tought maybe only a few months of vacationing, because you arent lean as you are now. Looking good man.
Hope i also do (bald) when the thinning is becoming too noticable.
Great video Harry. I lost my hair at 27. I shaved it off few times. I prefer to have hair. So had surgery. Planning to have more. Everyone is different end of day some men happy being bald some not. I still respect men who are happy bald. Am glad I had surgery done. Best wishes to you bro
Yeah man do your things and don’t sweat it 👍 life is a journey to be lived
I shaved my head bald when i was like 25 and been bald since then and i feel great. 🙃 i do miss the hair, but you got to move on and accept it and just focus on other things to regain confidence.
You had a very quick hair loss. Full plenty of hair to a bald situation in a few months. Not easy man. Mine was very slow during 20 years. Each person has its own process of hair loss.
Some people do.
I love this channel bro keep it up!
I will bro. Thanks for watching 👍
My man said it looks like Batman that's crazy. 😂
You def look more youthful 7 years ago but hey… don’t we all. Still a handsome chap none the less 👍
You can still grow your hair back with microneedling, I'm regaining my hair back
It's not for everyone. Glad your solution is working for you. What level of baldness were/are you at.
You can like it and accept it, the problem is that your dating pool will shrink a lot and in today market you need to have everything you can.
Ask yourself honestly how big your dating pool is with hair. If you are getting lots of chicks with hair you can get em without it. If you’re getting nothing now… going bald isn’t going to change that either so you’ve nothing to lose.
@@Baldcafe that’s not how it works. You can get chicks and then lose your hair and not getting them. Do you like the same woman if she has hair vs if she doesn’t? Women feel the same way.
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk Yes it changes your dating pool but so do other factors out of your control like height, ethnicity, etc. There’s girls who won’t date guys under 6 feet but there are also plenty who will. Same goes for bald guys. I hate this incel mindset shit that so many guys have that you have to be 6 foot, have hair, etc. to even have a chance in the dating scene. I’ve seen plenty of guys who don’t hit those marks but still have amazing relationships.
@@bubby_bubs ok, but every flaw makes it exponentially harder to date, yes, some girls will date short bald chubby guys but that’s a tiny minority and this tiny minority would still prefer a tall guy with hair, so why not do everything you can to be as good as you can? This guy got married while he had hair so what does he even know?
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk Right you should work on things in your control like fitness/health, education/work, and being a kind person. Although anecdotal, I have seen plenty of really beautiful girls with not so attractive guys. Receding hairlines, unkempt beards, you name it. But you talk to the guy and learn he’s an interesting and funny and successful person. If you want to go with actual statistics you’ll find that a majority of women don’t mind bald guys or even like it. Only 10-20%ish find it to be a turn off or dealbreaker. Yes having hair is the beauty ideal. But there are plenty of beauty standards that the average person doesn’t meet. Almost everyone has flaws(according to society) and the only people who care about them are themselves. Once you leave this mindset of looks being everything you’ll be a lot happier in life 🫡.
You look great bald.
Cheers G 👍
Stop lying
I can’t believe how quickly balding occurs.
Guys. I had a hairplant 12 weeks ago. I shaved my head before the transplant. All the anxiety of hair loss will instantly go once you shave it and you will be surpised how good it can look and how good you will feel. I am still waiting for my new hair to grow but shaving it for me was the best thing ive done.
You can relax now as you also have a very solid plan b. 👍
@@Baldcafe thanks bro and thanks for all the great content
you can clean shave it and add an agent 47 tattoo on the back, kinda cool huh!!
Man , I’ve been balding for 15 years , it’s been such a slow process , noticed it happening at 19 receding , but it keeps shedding and then regrowing. It is thinning more now at the crown , but not as bad yet as to shave it off fully, I think I’ve got 3 years left before I shave it all off.
Like when people say your not even losing it to me, I 100 per cent know I am, I know my own hair
dude, try fasting, its literaly my last hope. there are some studies showing a correlation between androgenic alopecia and glycogen metabolism
Excessive masturbation, bad diet (seed oils, lack of good fats/nutrients) and a lot more lead to hormonal imbalance, that drives hair loss.
A lot of men with hair loss have too much DHT in relation to testosterone and other sex hormones
You should have a high T:DHT ratio and sufficient estrogens/progesterone to protect your hair
Could have just taken Finasteride and saved your hair like I did 😂
Like everyone does lmao
I didn’t want to be dependent on drugs for the rest of my life which is why I wasn’t interested.
Finasteride is not a guarantee. His hairloss was really aggressive it wouldn't help him.
@@sukmikehok1384 to each his own. If you don't try, you'll never know.
How did you fix your alopecia in that one spot? I think I might have the same thing in a different spot.
Thanks for all you do for us!!!! 🙏🏽
Honestly I tried to get my stress in check and better sleep. It worked but took best part of a year
@@Baldcafe thanks for the response my man. I might need to buy myself a hot tub cos I need to do a lot more relaxing 😂
This scares me to know we'll turn into a egghead someday 😞
The thought of it is scary. The reality isn’t.
Bro, you started losing your hair exactly when I started losing mine haha! In 2016-17, I basically had a full head of hair. I was like 35/36 yrs old…man my hair went quick. 2019 I still had a respectable amount of hair, but you could see the crown lighten up. My hair loss really started on overdrive during the pandemic. That crown went downhill very fast.
I think hair loss is cause for concern. I started having aggressive hair loss in 2008. I still have a good head of it though. I used caffeine shampoo, a laser light helmet which I still use. I think it's calcification and indicates an obstructed body. Anyway your confidence is inspiring but I implore you to consider that losing hair is a sign that the body is crying out for help.
I've buzzed mine off, initially thinking, damn, I'm looking great. Then I'm started seeing a different angle in front of a different lingning, and I'm like damn, the shadoff is visible, and this really stressed me out. I didn't know what to do. Keep it zero guard, slightly short or grow it back? I could have just kept long hair, with thinning on the top, and it would have been much less effort because to maintain a cool looking buzzcut, you got to trim it like every 3 days, which was just too much work for me and taking pictures of myself seeing how I look. So from now on, I'm embracing my thining balding spot, and just keeping it longer, like guard NO 2, and the sides number 1. Lastly, I grew a beard, because it just looks really strange with me having a young face, and a balding head, so to look more appropriate for my balding head appearance, a small beard is a must. Lastly, I really found it helpful when I saw a video with Harry having an interview with his father, who advised to experiment until you find a comfortable look. So thank you for that.
It’s sound advice brother. Just experiment until you find where you feel most comfortable. Don’t over scrutinize yourself though.
We men facing the same problem ❤I shave my head every morning before I go to work, i just hate it
Dude was good looking and had hair he couldn’t have both he looks great tho
Enjoyed your balding journey. Question: have you tried to keep your hair by using medications such as finasteride and minoxidil?
No not for me I Didn’t want to be dependent on drugs for the lest of my life and for my self esteem.
my hair loss journey has been a 13 year long progress, I first noticed thinning at 20.
Slowly slowly catchy monkey ay
The progression rate of MPB varies from one to another person. I started to notice my MPB progression in 2004-2006. I am now 43, and buzzcut still gives me good impression of having decent scalp short hair (with slightly receding temple hair line). My dad started his balding process in 2008-2010, and he is now almost completely bald. While one of my cousins took only 4-5 years to go completely bald.
You are very correct. For some guys it’s literally just an ever slow gradual loss well into old age. I speed ran it apparently.
I wonder if back in 2016 and 17 if meds would have halted it. You had a pretty good head of hair back in those days. As for looking older than 7 years ago with both shave heads look. Yeah you look little bit older but we all do after 7 years. The skin loses collagen as we age and we lose that fresh look over time. You don't look a lot older but more mature . Less baby fat in the face which means less collagen. But about the same.
Yeah I think meds probably would have helped me hold on for longer
@@Baldcafe do you have a videeo where you discussed about your decision not to take any meds?
Meds are not worth it. Too risky. I have pfs because of them.
@@timpoos4635 what are pfs?
@@timpoos4635 PFS?
You are good looking. It helps to accept
Better looking with hair though
@@exactly1176yess but if you are tall with good face and jawline you still are attractive and shave is not dramatic…
Shave your facial hair. I think men tend to compensate for balding by growing out facial hair but women are far too keen to trick! If you really embrace your baldness, going clean shaven is the ultimate IDGAF and women will agree! I get sooo many more complements when I shave versus ‘making my jaw look bigger / Wolverine look’.
Like I said, women are too smart fellas!!
I shaved my head about 3 months ago. I'll remember the date March 10th 2024 for the rest of my life. I was dealing with male pattern baldness since I was 16 years old. I rocked the long mop for most of high school, but once uni came around I started getting high skin fades with a long fringe on top.
For me most of my receding was on the temples, so I was always able to cover it up with a combover. But I always grew up feeling awful about it. I kept my long fringe for pretty much my entire time in uni, and for a while until I graduated.
This year though, I decided to get a buzz cut just to try a different haircut and boy that made me realize how bad my balding was. It was after my buzzcut that I realized that I had a bald spot on my crown, and I was generally super thin up there.
I rocked the buzzcut for a while, but my hair started looking weird cuz the sides grew super thick, but the top was super thin and weak. Then on that one night in March, I decided to just shave it off and be done with it.
I can't say that I regret it cuz it was one of the most liberating feelings I've ever felt. Few months down the line and shaving my head is basically like brushing my teeth to me, cuz its been incorporated into my daily routine. I used to buzz it down to 0 with my trimmer, but after a few weeks I purchased a Pitbull Skull Shaver Gold Pro on Amazon to get a nice close shave every morning. I'm thinking of getting a razor to start wet shaving in the shower, but I'll hold off on that for now cuz my skin is super sensitive to razor bumps.
I work in B2B sales, I meet my clients and a lot of people during the day. When I first shaved my head, I was worried people were gonna react negatively. But to my surprise, people treated me the same with or without hair. For me that really reinforced confidence in myself to rock the bald and embrace my appearance.
My family, my friends and my colleagues have all given me good responses on my new appearance. I'm growing my beard out these days, and a lot of people tell me that my head shape really suits that look. And in terms of dating, I've honestly seen no difference in the way women treat me with or without hair. You kinda build it up in your head that people are gonna act weird around you when you go bald, but no one really cares about your hair more than you do. Not even close.
Overall fellas, if you're dealing with male pattern baldness, you're not alone. Whether you're in your early 20's like me, or in your late 50's, it sucks for all of us. The important thing is to hang in there, and know that things get better down the line. Rock the bald, and wear it with confidence. You got this💪
you looked like a gigachad in the first vid
I still mogg it’s chill
From the book of I-Ching, I asked, what I am going to do with getting older you know with the getting older flaws. The answer basicly was, yes we are getting older, but just be the coolest of the older generation
WOAH you looked majestic with hair!
You are the perfect profile for a hair transplant. Your hair loss should be stable. For 2000$ in Turkey, you will probably obtain a good result, but you should do some research to find a good clinic. Otherwise, you’re good like that, especially with the full beard. I have just a question ; Your hair from the top used to be so oily, to the point that you had to take shower every day or every couple of hours ?
What do you believe cause this? Too much stress or diet.
Is weird seeing you with hair now mate.
SMP has been on my mind alot lately.
Duno if you remember the tv show Gladiators, was a Gladiator (Hunter) James Crossley. He just got smp at age 50 or so.
And it looks really good. He went very subtle with it, but I look at his Instagram and he is still wearing hats alot.
I got SMP done… keep it subtle, and keep the actual hair as short as possible..you won’t regret it. Nobody has asked me in three years what’s changed… I know I look better, though
@@jamesconnell5242 Where did you get it done?
Yeah I like being bald as possible anyway. Still not sure about smp, most look bad.
@@KrisVic91 Yeah, some look a bit unatural, like someone who is ultra-cool dude. I keep seeing more of such people nowadays just walking in the mall, so I think SMP is getting popular.
@@gricius I've saw a few yeah. But I don't like when I can spot it. Kinda defeats the point.
I'm in awkward position where I still have about 80% of my hair. I'd rather have full shadow head or none at all and just get it lazered off.
@@KrisVic91 I’ve seen plenty of bad examples… usually because people aren’t realistic about what’s achievable, and end up over doing it. The best you can hope for is the shadow you have on the sides replicated on top to frame the face. I used somewhere local, called Scalp Diverse, after a lot of research. I think you have to choose an artist, based on their portfolio, as opposed to buying into the hype of any particular company
Did you happen to take creatine about the time when you started balding?
Not at the time but I had taken creatine for many years before
@@Baldcafe Interesting. Personally I have went from 0 hair loss to significant diffuse thinning and miniaturisation in a span of 9 months post creatine intake, I wonder if creatine kick-started rapid progression of androgenetic alopecia in many men
A young boy disfigured in a few years. It's amazing how there is still no solution in 2024.
Disfigured is a wild phrase man.
There are solutions, plenty. It seems he just gave up and did nothing to slow down/reverse it. Not even talking about transplant.
@@d3r4g45 Let's not kid ourselves, it's full of things that aren't a real, affordable and permanent cure/solution. Otherwise bald people would no longer exist. As long as hair loss remains in the hands of cosmetics we will never have a solution.
@@Baldcafe I didn't mean it as an insult but it is semantically correct. I would say the same if you lost your nose or an ear.
I think I'm balding since my 15s, I'm 30 now and still have hair.. each year that pass I have less hair but I still have a lot of hair. my dad is bald so I don't really now when I'm goning full bald let's see...
You still have a good area to donate hair to the bald area.
If you want you still have the possibility of a hair transplant.
But the sooner you start finasteride the better results you will have
Hair transplant is great for you .
Are you doing/were you doing something to prevent/reverse it?
No
Have you ever received some treatments to prevent or reduce the hairloss?
having followed his channel for over 5 years.. I don't think so
he shaved it and that's it
he did try some products like hair fibers like 2 years ago when he had longer hair
Minoxidil did not help much for me, so I just shaved it off at 28. Finasteride etc was not something I wanted as I was already on another medicine for an other condition. Glad I shaved it, dealing with hair when you are balding is just a hassle and waste of worry and money. That energy can be spent improving your life and working out, things you can actually control. Saving $300 on hair cuts a year is a nice little bonus.
Only exposure therapy aka dealing with it mentally
On the left looks early 20s the right looks mid-40s
Nice 👍
Look up scalp tension theory, you can get your hair back. It's gonna take a lot of work however.
I really feel the same when you say "ok its done" a had shaved my hair a lot of times, but pass that stress at age 23 is terrible, so i'm let my hair growth even if is thinning, trying some finasteride, it is getting a little better, honestly i don't worry about my hair every time now, when i shaved i was kinda obsessed with that much more, always looking to that strange guy on the mirror, i don't reconigze myself when it is shave, i look so old and it is more painfull to me than with the thinning hair.
Sorry if the english it is bad, i'm not fluent yet.
Ate you taking monoxidil as well?
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 yes, oral minoxidil
Sofria com calvície devido o estresse do meu trabalho, após anos lutando sair do meu trabalho e resolvi raspar a cabeça vendo outros homens que tomaram essa decisões . Não é fácil , mas é libertador não ter que se aguarrar a cada viu de cabelo que vai embora.
