Balding is Depressing (This is WHY)

[@AberliteGrooming]

Why does hair loss suck for you? Comment below!

[@DonnyguyfromBilston]

Really good video , I’m 19 and completely bald and can totally sympathise with these perspectives. Very informative :)

[@AberliteGrooming]

We're so glad you enjoyed! -Kaz

[@mattstolzman]

I'm treated differently. I mean worse than when I had full head of hair. That's sad

[@b.g.9158]

Hair loss sucks because nowadays it is so important to look good especially in times with social media and the beauty and fitness standards.. way too much pressure from the society.. hair makes so much things different if you want to look attractive

[@AberliteGrooming]

Very good take! I probably could have touched on social media pressure in this video, it's a very good point! I suggest you watch our video "Are Bald Men Attractive?", I think you may get something out of it! It can be found in our "Balding Talks" playlist. Cheers, Kaz

The cost of my hair transplant was money well spent.

[@hectorhp8779]

I am still at the wearing a hat face in which women look at me and smile… but when I go and walk around bald is like I am not existent… I am muscular too and take care of my appearance…. It is what it is and for many man it is a hard pill to swallow…. With girlfriends telling you if you could wear a hat or grow your hair or stuff like that. Sadly the message being pushed now in society is looks maxing which is another reason why most bald men wear a beard to try to compensate for the way they look bald.

"Men with no hair get more head". Receding hair line at 19. Started going bald at 25, but in total denial. Acceptance at 26, but in total fear of looking like my Dad with a comb over, i shaved my head for the first time. Depressed, I went out with friends that night and was sulking about losing my beautiful head of hair, that i totally took for granted, when a gorgeous older woman who overheard my conversation about it approached me and said these words that i will never forget, "Men with no hair get more head". I laughed it off, and figured she was just being nice, But i immediately started to realize, she was right!!! I was getting way more attention from woman than i ever got with a full head of hair. Been shaving my head for nearly 20 years and i don't miss my hair one bit.

[@ThingsIBuy]

I just shave it but boy do I get lazy and often haha. Most women won't date a bald guy If you're in your 20s. I had more options now in my 40s.

[@bennewman4675]

Actually bald people are seen as more attractive

[@ThingsIBuy]

@@bennewman4675 not if you dont stay on top of it and shave it regularly.

[@AQBS-HairLoss-Champion]

I agree - started when i was 19 and ended up 28 with Norwood 7+, but now I am reversing it back to my high school hair line and showing other men how to do the same thing naturally on my channel.

[@Lamb02]

I’ll tell you one thing, you will never reverse your hairloss to high schooo hair naturally.

[@mariapenagames]

Incredible video ☺️ loved the edits

[@jjbinks117]

Found your videos this week as I knew it was time to go bald. Thank you for helping guide me and others through the transition!

[@Michael-ih2hl]

Shaved my head today and I'm very glad I did it. I used this hair regrowth formula for a while and a chemical in it gave me serious depression! But to me, getting as clean shave as possible has already helped my confidence.

this video got on my for you page i watched the whole thing without looking to views and likes, i thought it was liked by thousand and viewed a lot because of how amazing the video has been recorded. Underrated video not gonna lie, I also have a fear of hairloss because of my elder brother who had hair loss during his 20s but the thing is he used a lot of hair spray and gel. Dont know if i should fear it or not

[@AberliteGrooming]

I'm so glad you feel that way. To be fair, I have two other channels that I've grown (Kaz Veselka and Hussar & Hyde Gaming), so I've been doing this a long time 🤣. Really trying to up my game on this channel, so I'm super glad it had that impression. And if I were to give unsolicited advice about balding fear, there's no need to over-fixate on it at all. Get yourself mentally/physically healthy, build up your self esteem with trained professionals, and maximize your hygiene/style. This way, if you are subjected to the same fate as your brother, it'll be like oil off a ducks back -- a non-issue. It's mainly an identity crisis issue for men that have heavily relied on their youthfulness/handsomeness to get by. If you choose to do a hair re-growth protocol, make sure you make that decision intentionally and thoughtfully (as opposed to reactively and out of fear) Cheers, Kaz

[@SandunTharaka-n7s]

It is said that the technology is advanced... but still could not give a permanent solution to male pattern baldness... If only the gene that causes male pattern baldness can be changed, it can be stopped....plz reply me...

[@AberliteGrooming]

I'm sure some kind of revolutionary genetic splicing therapies will be available in the next 20 years, but transplants and topicals are getting quite good. Are they permanent? Yes-ish -- depending on a variety of factors. If you start finasteride and minoxidil early, most can hold their hair well into middle age (without transplant). But yeah, then you have cases where people are non-responders to topicals, oral finasteride, AND they don't have enough donor grafts from the nape/nuchal area for a transplant. This is rare to have both, but it certainly happens So take my advice from the end of this video. Reduce noradrenergic transmission by finding some peace in your life -- take the next 6 months to meditate over what you really feel like will be the best option for you. Don't over-research -- the options are transplant, topicals/orals/micro needling, hair system, scalp hair tattoo, or shave it all off -- everything else is just noise. Cheers, Kaz

[@scottysansone5884]

It’s hereditary and the way to stop it honestly is stop having passing on the gene by having children.

[@bennewman4675]

I was thinking if it happens when they are not young anymore. Some people might not mind it as much

[@AberliteGrooming]

Yeah absolutely, when it happens later in life, most have had way more time to prepare and process. Young men have a much harder time.

[@bennewman4675]

It could depend on how bad it is if they use hair loss treatment to get there hair back. If its less bad or only in the middle. Some people might more likely be able to accept it

[@bennewman4675]

Some people might feel OK with it or more likely accept it. If they only have hair loss in one place like just at the frount or just in the middle of the head

[@bennewman4675]

Because they are not ready I think some people are to young when they go bald

[@bennewman4675]

If they was not young when they was going bald. Some people might not even tray and grow it back

[@bennewman4675]

Why dose this never happend with beard hair?

[@AberliteGrooming]

Male pattern baldness is caused by genetics, and accelerated by the hormone DHT. DHT is actually the primary hormone that causes beard growth (as well as back hair, body hair etc). Why does it happen like this? It's likely evolutionary -- beard hair became an adaptation for protecting the face from the elements. The human body must have prioritized this mechanism over creating adaptions to preserve head hair loss into old age

[@bennewman4675]

Maybe it's not really strees maybe it's because they are more likely to go bald because of the genetics. Well maybe its only partly strees

[@AberliteGrooming]

It's mostly genetics, but stress can bolster/accelerate genetics. For example, there was a hike in rates of baldness during COVID. Moreover, even some women lose hair when their cortisol levels are through the roof. So stress is not to be underestimated, but it is definitely more of an accelerator. -Kaz

[@bennewman4675]

Dose caffeine shampoo really stop people going bald?

[@robforge7667]

No it doesn't. Your best bet is to use a shampoo with ketoconazole in it like regenepure. Also use a shampoo that doesn't have sulfate or paraben in it because its bad for hair groth. Good luck.

[@b.g.9158]

The only solution so far is to use finasteride or dutasteride in companion with minoxidil. Hair loss in men is usually because of male pattern baldness androgenetic alopecia

[@bennewman4675]

@@b.g.9158 I think I understand it so it might depend on the why the person is going bald. But probably unlikely caffeine shampoo will work

[@AberliteGrooming]

The repliers above are largely correct. Hair loss shampoos, in general, are just going to be additional accessories to a standard finasteride/minoxidil/derma-needling re-growth protocol. No need to be fancy with anything else outside of this. You can add a ketoconazole shampoo, but make sure the baseline is solid first. -Kaz

When it happened to me at 17- it was like my youth was ripped away from me. I would rather have had a cancer diagnosis

[@NoahMurray-760]

you literally go bald from cancer treatment💀

[@bennewman4675]

Did you think you would ever go bald? Did you thnk you would have hair loss that young?

[@AberliteGrooming]

I had no idea it would happen so quickly, but many men in my family went bald early, so I semi-expected it. I was prepared to go bald by about age 19. I had lots of time to think
