BALDING MAN DISTRAUGHT After Shaving Head BALD *Emotional*

[@dadbodvlogs]

Thank you for all the comments and positivity on here! Appreciate the reaction looks over emotional but I can’t stress enough how big it felt at the time! It’s great to hear so much nice feedback! Thanks Harry for sharing my story, I hope somebody out their finds the courage to take the plunge and shave when they see it!

[@jonathanbell8887]

Men lose their hair. Been shaving my head for 10 years and I’m 33. Met my wife and lost my hair. Probably sucked more for her than it did for me. My kids have never known me with hair and it’s just what men have to go through.

[@muff_jr5760]

Well done man. It's an emotional step to take. when I did it I told myself 'I'm not that vein, i'm not wasting anymore emotion on this, it's just hair' etc.. but when it comes to the crunch , it's a tough step to break through. But i'm sure you'll agree, once it's done.. you can move on, it's liberating. You look handsome af too. smashed it.

[@ademitchell2251]

You look 1000 times better, the fact that you are rocking an awesome beard with great coverage makes you look even better. I took the plunge 20 years ago when I was 28 and have never looked back. My wife loves my shaved head and massive beard look and so do the girls at work. Best regards, matey.

[@tylerhuff2009]

This type of video might be even more important than the “I loved it immediately” versions. I had a mini panic attack in the barber chair bc it didn’t fix my issues right away, but it takes time to get used to it and really see the positives. Thanks for sharing!

You make it sound like you're losing an arm, seriously... Also if you're having a really hard time like this guy shaving it off, it's very healthy to do so, even if you're not balding, just to for a lack of a better line, "man up a little".

Are you kidding me, dude looks amazing with the shaved head. You've got the killer beard to even it out so you're golden, my man! I think it was just the emotional/psychological shock of being without hair (which I can TOTALLY understand). I think you just relieved a ton of long-term stress off your shoulders and now you can move on with life and hopefully gain confidence in knowing you look even better now (even if you don't believe it just yet--I"m telling you, you pull off the new look seamlessly mate).

@@robd1329 I hear u. I'm curious about using hair systems. I'd shave my head n go the hair system route in a heart beat, but they're pretty pricey for each wig and if you need at least 4 or 5 a year, it adds up--specially with maintenance and time and energy. I don't wanna go down the minoxidil or finasteride route though. Not a fan of meds. Try thr shaved look, buddy. If you have a beard to even it out, you're golden.

This is usually biggest heard mantra and safe-mechanism which is clear indication towards what only bald people will say. It's actually required in order to keep their illusions grandeur despite of opposite reality which is just sad. Because mental wound from balding is so deep and painful that they refuse accept the reality and be truthful to themselfs. In reality they are suffering and being victimized from Stockholm Syndrome.

[@plato6460]

Harry, thanks for uploading this. After years of watching your videos, I decided last year to shave my head. Much like Joe here, I did not like my look. I was fully bald for 6 months, but I just lost all confidence in my appearance. I then decided to grow it back. I have diffuse thinning all throughout the top and it’s clear I’m balding. But I think I look a lot better with hair than without. All this is to say, from someone who went from thinning to bald to thinning again, I can understand Joe’s and other’s reaction about the initial shave not always being a triumphant moment. It can be even more devastating because you think you’ll look great bald, but you feel as though you are not. Again, thanks for uploading a video where it’s not all bliss.

[@Baldcafe]

It’s all good man. The way I see it, I’m not sure if you’ll agree but… it sounds like you are more comfortable now with the thinning hair than you were the first time “pre” head shave? In my book you’ve won. You took a step, ok it wasn’t all fun and games but it’s gotten you closer to comfortable than you were before?

[@ErikStone1]

I started losing my hair at 17, and it was devastating for me. High school kids can be brutal! I was extremely insecure about it for over a decade. Then a funny thing happened. I started to realize that the only reason I felt negative about my situation was that it wasn't the "norm" for a young guy to lose his hair. Once I got into my 30s, I started to see more and more of my peers starting to lose their hair also. Now in my 40s and most guys start losing a little. I no longer feel like the odd man. I wished someone explained that to me when I was younger...it would have helped me feel better about myself. I now prefer my shaved head. I shave it myself, so I never have to pay a barber, and I never have to worry about my hair getting messed up. No bed head, no hat head. Overall I look tougher and manlier. You do too, mate! The sooner you embrace it, the sooner you'll love yourself again.

[@carldunne8124]

Same brother started losing mine at 17 aswell and it was a permanent annoyance but i embraced it more and more and eventually people turned from teasing to admiring the shaved head. Only bad thing was that girls my age never liked it but i gave it a few years and the women loved it so all good 😁

[@matthewsdicksons5110]

Going bald is completely a choice. There is so many different solutions to use towards it and you don't even need to take hair transplant. For my case i started balding and i took first finasterine and then minoxidil, which completely stopped my balding process and hair started growing and coming back. What i found best solution to cope this problem and what really fixed it was taking dosage of propecia. Now someone may say that your dick will stop working while taking it, but back in the days wasn't even aware of this problem, never faced this problem either myself but if anyone decide to try it at your own risk and each at their own i guess. I been having history of taking steroids so taking this wasn't nothing new to me at this point.

I remember being more upset than I'd be willing to admit to people the first time I shaved my head, its such a massive change for blokes who've had longer hair their whole lives but have crossed a threshold and need to bite the bullet, it really messes with your self image. But my girlfriend told me any stranger who saw me walking down the street wouldn't think twice about my hair, it looks totally fine. The only reason its tough right now is because of how different it is to what I was used to. Same goes with you, you suit the short look, its looks fine and normal and no one would think twice about it. I got used to it pretty quickly and eventually felt a lot of relief, not constantly fixating on how my hair looked every time I saw a mirror has improved my life.

Genuinely really suits you, it just takes time to adapt to the unfamiliarity of having a shaved head, you don't even recognise yourself for the first few weeks As somebody who was initially gutted about shaving my head (I'm 24 years old & single) I can fully relate to the mixed emotions, but I personally feel far more confident about the decision now after being clean shaved for around nine months You've got a cracking headshape for it and your beard compliments the look, all the best mate!

[@JasonKB]

Similar to the reaction I had when I first buzzed my hair down. Hated it. Thought I looked stupid. While I already knew my hair was thinning, I was surprised by how much the buzzing exposed what I hadn't seen before. My thinning had extended beyond what I already knew. I was mortified! I ended up growing it back, but now I knew the truth. I was thinning rapidly and I understood I could not hide it much longer. I ended up doing something similar to Harry. I buzz it off, I let it grow back, and just try to be comfortable with it no matter what. Openness is freedom. I'm certainly not the only man who is going bald, nor am I the only man who has chosen to buzz it off, or just exist with it as-is. The most important thing is just to be comfortable with your hair, no matter how much or how little you have.

[@bluemanno7901]

Dude I've been going through the exact same thing! I've known I've been thinning for the majority of my adult life but I always kept it long and styled it to the side to hide the more thin areas. Than my last haircut the barber didn't listen to me at all and basically gave me a number 2 buzz cut. I was mortified by how thin my hair actually is! It's been almost a month since and it's grown longer and doesn't look quite as bad, but now I know the truth. Now I can't get it out of my head.

[@TheExtremeCube]

It's good that you buzzed it and got that out of your system, now you can more comfortably have your hair however else you want

Thing is, you have guys on YT shaving their heads that have model quality heads and facial features that just makes a bald look work, but bald really isn't for everybody, for instance i have a slim face, i just don't have a lot of fat deposits in my cheeks, just genetics, i know for a fact that i would never ever look good bald, even my family members were honest and told me that i must keep my hair, in fact i look kind of sick with very short hair, i pray to fucking god i never go bald, 31 and so far so good.

Having a nice shaped head is thankful, but I also think it gives you a sense of confidence you didn't have before. Before, my hair was a security blanket. It was a statement. Shaving it off was a weird feeling, but one I had to learn to cope with. I've received a lot of positive comments on it and have even been told I look very attractive with my head bald.

It was a HUGE shock and I had to walk through the city centre after, I felt very paranoid and vulnerable. But after a few days I started to take to my new look, especially when I went into work and my colleagues ALL said I look so much better for it.

I shaved down to a 3 all over when Covid started, and hated it. I haven’t been able to even find the slightest bit of courage to do it since.

Switch to a system ..I did and so much happier ..got a full head of hair now

[@gmcc759]

@@SkankHunt3000 glad that worked for you. It’s just not my cup of tea. I will eventually just go for the shave, but it probably will be spur of the moment.

[@glassmw9823]

I gotta system. My system is shaving soap and a double-edged safety razor…took a few tries to get it right, and takes a little bit of time, but it’s the closest shave I’ve ever had in my life and leaves you feeling freer than a bird!

[@stefjonno1]

@@gmcc759 Doing a buzz.cut possibly still makes you look like you are balding. Taking it all off takes that situation away. Yes you will be completely bald lol, but it will not look like you're going bald LMAO if you know what I mean. In fact when hair grows back you will want it off asap. It kind of feels clean and fresh when it's off.

[@richierich4810]

Mate it looks fine shaved. The thing is your actually lucky because you still have a hairline. But it is a very painful transition & a lot of people just dont understand how bad it really is. You are literary losing your identity! & it hurts! But after you go through it you feel free so good man.

[@hollowinside1962]

I feel for the guy, I would be in the same situation hence why i take my Propecia and apply Minoxidil for half a decade at this point, the thing about not worrying about hair loss is different for everyone, some accept it quickly some don t care at all and some would rather trade years of their lives to have hair

[@yuta5026]

Does the minoxidil and other stuff work for you? I was considering it. I have it on my crown.

[@hollowinside1962]

@@yuta5026 they worked like charm, finasteride stopped my progression of hairloss and minoxidil gained back what i lost althought even just finasteride can bring some hair back it just wasnt my case because my hair loss wasnt that severe when i catched and started these 2 treatments, i only have a receded hairline was similar to Heath Ledger s and because of treatment especially finasteride my hairloss stopped and i had 0 side effects and it took me 2 years until i hopped on it because i was afraid of the side effects and i lost more hair because i wassn t on treatment, now i regret now starting sooner

[@yuta5026]

@hollowinside1962 Im glad you did so well. Im scared to do the finasteride because Ive heard of all k8nds of side effects like low labido low testosterone etc. And I worry its expensive. Id like to have long hair though....did it take you a long time to have what you wanted? I already said this but congrats for you king. 👏

You look great, pal! Thank you for sharing your story with us, and, most important, thanks for exposing your vulnerability. Well done! True manhood in my book.

[@alucardiasgardias3290]

Honestly. It's not for everyone. Not everyone looks good bald. Specially skinny guys. For those with good head structure it's a blessing.

[@bloochoob]

I love a baldy rugged beardy spectacled guy, and think most bald men look great, I think it’s the confidence factor to go for the big shave too, that goes a long way. Hot! Embrace it, I say. I know many women who like it.

Joe, you look so great with your shaved head. You're very handsome and your features are highlighted by this new look. It took a LOT of soul searching and courage. Well done, really you look fantastic. Congratulations on the birth of your second child.🎉

[@farmoboy83]

Its only hair. we tend to get emotional because loosing our hair is like loosing a part of us and mainly loosing our youth. My head is shaved since i was 23 (39 now) and always felt good with myself, there is no bald jokes in this world that could make me feel bad. Be strong people, its just hair.

[@leecoops1248]

Top lad for not only posting this but also how you were thinking throughout the time... I completely sympathise with this especially when you said about looking ugly on the mirror, personally I still gate it and believe I was better looking with hair but after watching your video for the first time in over 11 years or possibly more you made me realise and think that maybe I think that way because we spend the last years holding on to out hair truing to style it in certain ways to hide it and me personally always use to picture when I had a full head of hair (that maybe the reason I keep hating being bold) and should maybe look in the mirror and realise yeah I ain't that bad... sorry for the long winded message but honestly it's a relief to think that way so thank you again 👍 this video really helps

[@christof88]

Can totally appreciate your emotion at the time and I respect how you've been so open about it. But the trim is unreal bro. You look so sharp

[@stanleymann4620]

You look so much better with the shaved look. 👍

[@thisisMILLAD]

Listen, this is unacceptable. I am happy you shaved your head. This crying nonsense. Come one man, men and women are being diagnosed with cancer everyday. People are getting bombed to death. You are a warrior man. You don’t cry over lost hair. Get in the gym, do cardio , start martial arts meditate and do deep breathing. I lost my hair from an autoimmune disease, had to get surgery multiple times and spent nights in the hospital man . Be grateful you are healthy and with some muscle building you look very handsome. Not trying to be negative at all by the way. Just a reality check

[@VeRTz7]

I've been where you are, and I felt so much better after shaving. I feel less self-conscious and more confident. you've got some big balls bro, RESPECT.

[@SteveWoodsGsy]

Honestly mate you look sick💪🏻 No more worrying about someone standing above you taking pics and being caught out on thinning. Takes balls to do what u did and give it a few months and you will understand properly that u made right decision

[@dannysheeney7893]

Looks really good. You're lucky, your ears don't stick out and your head is a good shape. It's really good that you've posted this, I'm sure it'll help a lot of people.

[@jamdivi]

A few months ago i went to get my haircut. The lady at the counter said they were very busy and wouldnt have time to take me but the place was totally empty. I told her "i just want a #2 on the sides and back and a trim on top". She sits me down, says "#2 right?" I said "yes". She grabs the clippers thens proceeds to give my entire head a #2! I was a little upset at first but ultimately told her whats done is done, she might as well just finish. After some time it really grew on me to the point where i now own a nice set of clippers and i cut my own hair, whole head at #2. I never have to pay for a haircut again. 10/10 would recommend to anyone thinking about going short. Theres also definitely something to be said about having your entire face totally exposed all the time, no hair to hide behind. I agree with the confidence boost.

[@76mcj]

You are ROCKING that hair cut!!! Wear it with confidence! You have a beautiful face and lovely eyes… and it’s that that people will see first… own it and believe it!

[@VengD]

Never understood why people got so emotional over hair... But fair enough. Might be because I shaved my top bald by choice. Like 18-19, just wanted to try. Could always let it grow back if I didn't like it. Nothing was taken from me. From then on, I just liked it, and been shaving my head for the past... Almost 20 years. Had nice thick hair back then... Tried letting it grow back a few years ago... Again just to try it. Damn man, it have gotten VERY thing in the front. Back to bald xD

[@But_WhatIf]

It's easier if you didn't have anything to lose. But seeing yourself gradually becoming less attractive and trying to hold on to it is what makes it so painful. It's basically taking a next step into a new style and saying goodbye to an old style you will never have again.

[@jasonjones2176]

Dude, you look good shaved. Shave it down to the scalp with a razor. I first shaved my head around age 24, just for the hell of it. I went off and on for the next 9 years. I shaved for good at age 33. I always said I would give up the ghost when it was obvious I was going bald. At at 33 a workmate laughed at me saying I didn’t know you were that bald. I said angrily back, neither did I. That night I shaved my head for good, never looked back. That’s been 15 1/2 years ago. Shaved head is ALWAYS better than a chrome dome. I always said I would never be a chrome dome.

[@ritchiecarson7618]

Trust me, mate. It’s a considerably better look than before. You’ll 100% get used to it and wonder what all the fuss was about in a few days time. Good stuff. Onwards and upwards!

my man, you look very good with the buzzcut/bald head. from one bald brother to another, i really like the way it fits you

[@jtnachtlauf1961]

I can understand the redemption of going bald for such guy. I'm happy to see him happy. I'm trimming my head hair to 0.5mm since i was 17yo. I was happy every day with my extremely short hair. No special care, no hair dryers, no problems with bad looking haircut, no problems with acceptance. Now a new Leaf razor is waiting for my first wet head shave. Greetings.

[@CMD_Line]

Man this took some balls and I can feel the anxiety but you turned into a beast man. Looks great.

[@Jbaz79]

I was 30 years old when I started shaving my head for good and haven’t looked back and that was 14 years a go.My hair pattern was identical to yours when I started and now all I have is the hair around the sides of my head/horseshoe pattern.Going bald sucks and I felt like you when I came to my crossroads but it’s something we can’t help and I’d much rather be completely bald vs having a bad comb over or worrying about if the wind blows or I sweat and it exposes more of my baldness.Kudos to you on getting over that mental battle and going through with it 👌 👌 👌

[@stefjonno1]

looks great man. I think a lot of people go for a No 1 or a No 2 but in reality the Kojak look is best. It looks natural and trust me.. when you do take it all off, its like as soon as some grows back you will want it off asap. You look good regardless.

[@daaimdaanish7016]

Congrats on the new baby! My dude... Seriously... you look VERY handsome with the shaved head... Way better. If you find yourself a really go barber to lineup and fade your beard every couple of weeks, you will be a bonafide hunk my guy.

[@nattinariach4410]

Aww this was a hard one to watch. Not an easy thing to do. My eldest son now 24 shaved his head at 20 yo as it was thinning. I was there and helped and he was upset and shouted at me when he asked me to do the back. He wore a hat out the day after. It's a traumatic thing to do at any age. Be brave guys. I've always loved a guy with a shaved head!

[@ericbrown9201]

Hey bro, sorry you are dealing with balding. You look good with and without hair. Happy to see a good amount of support.

Oh dear. I’m balding and never took a second thought about doing a grade 1 buzz cut. Why get so stressed about it?

[@CaviteBoy23]

Not too many men looks good bald but you are one of them. So keep it that way👍

[@Drakster81]

I started shaving my head 13 years ago because of my receding hairline. I felt absolutely amazing the first time I did it because I let go of silly attempts of hiding the problem and for the first time in a long time I felt I looked GOOD! Some years later my then girlfriend made me grow a beard too which made it even better! Whatever you choice is make sure you feel good in your skin brothers! 👊🏼😎

[@cameronlofts3498]

Man this suits you so well. Nice buzz and a fade on the sides will look amazing for you.

[@lawrenceking4237]

You look great! You should be proud that you had the courage to take this necessary step. Wow!
