BALDING In My 20's - Shaving My Head & Accepting Going Bald

[@gazpitchy]

I want bald around 21. Because all of the males in my family were bald, I grew up just thinking it was far more normal and acceptable.

[@WonhoTraveler]

He looks so good! Honestly its so nice to see men genuinely being happy in a world that's often not that worried about male mental health! I think you're doing something really important providing a safe space for all these guys to overcome the fear of baldness but also regaining all that confidence! Great work

[@ohyeee7003]

I’m 22 and I’m not bald and no signs of gong bald yet. my dad is bald no other males in my family are bald I like to watch these videos to almost prepare myself just in case I do and they take the fear of going bald away. I’ve shaved my head just to see what it would look like and I really like it a lot I feel almost like I look better without. I love seeing other peoples stories overcoming it. I’ve noticed that literally all guys who go bald look way better without hair.

[@Baldcafe]

So much value in this interview I really hope it helps you on your journey brother 👍

[@kylequintana]

i recently subbed, started losing my hair in my early 30's with no family history of hairloss. It sucked at first but ive come to embrace it and it even saves me money as i cut it myself. I have been able to get SMP which helped it look a little better when short. I recommend it fellas

[@Fan_Clube_Oficial_do_Totoro]

I really want to thank you for the content, Harry! Your videos inspired me to step out of my confort zone and get a buzz cut! Balding man deserve more creators like you. What you've been doing in the past years its huge: man from all over the world are geting more confident with their looks and are stepping out of what I like to call the "shame zone". We deserve more man talking about accepting baldness, insted of feeding the feeling of shame and unsecurity which has been sold to us every day. Hair growing pills, lotions, surgeries... none of these things will ever be as efficient as a confident mindset.

[@Altoseb]

Looks miles better.

[@bobsmithinson2050]

Great video as always, and he covered so many important points like the little insignificant moments that weren’t possible before. One thing that no one covers that happened to me, I shaved my head and actually felt and looked WORSE. Not only in my own mind, but even amongst peers opinions. People would say “you look like you came from a concentration camp” and other things. This is worth covering because many watch these videos thinking this is the answer, and that’s not always the case. It’s better to cut your hair into shorter type hairstyles and work your way down.

[@Baldcafe]

What did you do to deal with that situation?

[@bobsmithinson2050]

@@Baldcafe funny enough, I did what you did recently, and embraced the “balding” look with hair still on my head. As you stated and showed in your videos, it’s more empowering to embrace that look (albeit much more difficult). Of course, everyone’s situation will differ, and some will certainly feel better/look better fully shaved, but I feel that can’t be a ground for every individual. You personally have a great head shape, and other positive attributes that basically make hair irrelevant. Some of us rely on the hair to make a what we are, and taking it away completely goes too far. I suppose no one would know until they take the plunge regardless, but people should keep in mind that they can still look good/feel confident with a balding look as well, just like your year journey showed.

[@paulb5680]

It's funny how hearing these stories makes you realize you're not on your own. What he says regarding the constant adjusting of the hair, looking in the mirror, and washing the hair is so familiar. The bald look really suits him well though.

[@maliquesmith2311]

Great mature decision😌

[@Jbrimbelibap]

Can you either accept or treat it I'd say if you are that far gone, shave it, then decide if you want to use the tipical hair stack (minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, ru58841, etc..., not all of them at once for most people) I know I got very close to baseline frontal hairline with minoxidil + microneedling in just 2 and a half months, adding RU on top for prevention Shaving one's hair is important though, I encourage anyone to try. For most young people, take away their hair and expensive clothes and here goes their value

[@AleksandarAbramovic-gh4bi]

Honestly no guy wants to go bald but if it hapens when it hapens i dont think that this dudes feel better for shaving their heads its just that you look more cleaner and honestly you dont have much of a choice either in this stage of balding pills surgeries it costs and its not a perma solution but none of this guys really like they went bald they all secretly wish they didnt lost their hair cause having hair still does make you look younger and shaving your hair every 2 to 3 days is the pain in the ass

[@bobby381]

Hi honestly think minoxidil and finasteride could have helped you, if you wanted to keep your hair. I'm going through the same journey and I do get why people shave their heads and want to be free. I'm just not there yet, i'm going to try everything possible. I can pretend it doesnt bother me, but it does, I want hair. Good luck!.

[@Baldcafe]

He took finasteride for a long time like over a year and Aden minoxidil after the second doctors visit. He mentions this pretty quickly in the video.

[@bobby381]

maybe i should actually watch the video rather than the first 20 seconds@@Baldcafe

[@CorinMusic2012]

Sounds like what he experienced when on finasteride "I kept losing hair" was the inevitable shedding phase that comes during the first several months of taking the drug. It's a shame he didn't stick with it, because an initial shed is a good sign of a strong responder to the drug. Same with minoxidil. The shedding phase can last for over a year, especially if you decide to add Minoxidil later down the line.@@Baldcafe

[@Witchersense]

@@CorinMusic2012its really a good sign ?? If i have shed after 6 month do you think the hair that fall come again ? Please answer

Some men definitely prefer their bald look but I would say 80% of bald men prefer to have hair. Even guys who like their head bald want the option of being able to grow their hair back. I disagree about life being easier at least for me. Before I went bald, I would only get a haircut every month or so. But now I have to shave my head at least every other day so I’m spending more time on my head now than I did before.

You can’t bare the idea that hair loss is totally acceptable and people don’t get the results that are marketed or are different to your own.

[@exactly1176]

​@Baldcafe stop lying mate. Finasteride stops hairloss in it's track for more than 95% of people. And regrowth in more than 80% of people . So if you combine Finasteride with minoxidil, basically the hairloss doesn't progress at all. Just read the scientific data . Your channel is full of shit . Conclusion : this gentleman is the video probably didn't use finasteride long enough (less than 2 years I suppose). Lots of people quit after 6 or 9 months while going throught a shedding phase. But finasteride need more time to work (again, check the serious studies, not the fear mongering).
