GOING BALD SO I TRIED A BUZZ CUT - Here's How It Went

[@ThaBotmon]

Hey Harry, you’ll reach 100k subs pretty soon! (Congrats!) Do you plan on doing something special for this milestone?

[@Baldcafe]

I have a few things in the back of my mind but what do you think? I was hoping to travel and meet some of the early guys in the channel or even try and hunt down the 1st ever subscriber. Maybe I should meet the 100,000th subscriber 😂 but travel is pretty much not happening right now. Maybe a bald man race meet up. Maybe a cheeky Nando’s with the bald lads. I’m open to suggestions that’s for sure 👍

[@ThaBotmon]

@@Baldcafe I am thinking of a few suggestions: - Q&A + Silver play button unboxing - Maybe trying to reach out to a famous youtube creator and/or celebrity who are ready to “take the leap” - Maybe a big “Where are they now?” video with some of the most memorable guests that appeared on Baldcafe Well, that’s all I can think of from the top of my head. But I’m sure that whatever you choose to do, It will be great!

Shaved my head yesterday for the first time! I was born with a f**Jed up hairline so I wasn’t going bald… but I ended up taking the plunge thanks to Bald Cafe!!! Love this channel from 🇺🇸🇸🇴👏🏽!

[@ClassicAmericana]

An interview with a dude with a full head of hair who decided to rock the bald head would be interesting I bet there are so many

[@SwoleBravoo]

I’ve never met one to be honest…

[@keilanLord]

I'm one. 25 years old, here. I have a full head of hair but have 2 kids, I buzz my hair down on a no guard to 1 guard depending on how I want it every couple of weeks. I have it like this for convenience as I suffer from self-esteem issues and can mess around with my hair and styles constantly if it's medium length to long. I'm also autistic, sensory issues also make me dislike the feeling of my hair blowing in the wind, it makes me very uncomfortable and spikes my anxiety levels. So, short answer, I have it like this because I think I suit it and it works around my mental health. One less thing to worry about. 🙏🏻

[@connoranderson7432]

@@SwoleBravoo loads of my mates buzzed theirs over lockdown. I did it a couple years ago, went from shoulder length to buzz cut cause i’d been dying and bleaching my hair for ages so it was pretty damaged. Was cool seeing the natural colour grow back. I’m 26 but i’ve got proper silver grey hair. Looks sick. The buzz cut was a dope look tho, v practical.

[@SwoleBravoo]

@@connoranderson7432 Nice man, some people can pull it off some cant though when it comes to the bald look. At the end of the day, it's just about not giving a shit and rocking it. I advise anyone who cares about their hair to do what ever they see fit and reasonable to keep it. Other wise, shave it and rock it.

[@ghostfacescrillaNG]

That’s me, I’ve gone between having a shaved head to a full head of hair since I was 17, it’s never effected me at all. However recently started thinning a little on top so I’m going to embrace it permanently now.

[@BMTheGreatest]

I'm 25, I haven't lost my hair and while it's receded a bit I reckon I still have good time left before it goes completely. That being said I've been following your channel for a while and it's made me so comfortable with the thought of losing my hair, it used to scare the every living shit out of me. I've started buzzing my hair down to a 1/1.5 on top. Feeling so much more confident and I know what when my hair does go I won't worry and won't hesitate to shave it completely.

[@repent.sinner]

I truly love this channel. I'm a female who just happens to see shaved heads as a turn on. Most of my male friends/boyfriends in life have shaved their heads for me because it's my favourite. I had no clue that men had challenges doing it or didn't think they would get jobs because of it. It's very eye opening. I feel the same way about my grey hair as you gentlemen feel about balding. I will always find bald men completely attractive but I have never found someone who thought grey hair was sexy on women. I admire every one of the men who put themselves out in here as well and the man who created this channel. I made a video on my channel based on my feeling about my grey hair based on this channel so thank you.

Every guy who finally takes the plunge looks so much better and so much happier. Love this channel. Yes sir! That’s how I did it. Starting 2003 I buzzed it with a 2 or a 1….and one morning, deciding to cut my hair before I had coffee, I forgot to put the guard on, and found out it looked so much better. I went that route for a long while. In 2015, going into a new job, I was in the barber chair to even out some lines around the back of the neck. I found out the words “to the skin” means a different thing to a barber, and he used a foil shaver all around….and I have never looked back! I wished I had done it sooner!

[@FuSiOnxNationFx]

Glad to see your channel finally getting the attention it deserves, helps with allot of us men!

[@Adr1ano15]

Gradual approach - for me it is also the perfect way. I started from cutting what I got left to 10 cm, then next steps were 5, 3 and 1 cm to finally try and stay with clean shaven. The most shocking experiences were the first cut and switching from buzz to clean shaving. Apart from these, i liked each step more than previous. Right now, this chapter in my life is over. I enjoy clean look done in every 3-4 days. But i can't imagine getting there straightaway.

I'm bald. I looked a lot better, and much younger, with hair. My dad had a full head of hair without any grey until the day he died at 83. I inheritted mom's genes, and all the men on that side went bald, and at a young age. I was 17 when I started getting "haha getting thin on top" comments. I hated it and I still hate it. When I still had a fair amount of hair I could pass for being 20 years younger than I was. I still can. People still dont; believe I'm the age I tell them. Then I just take the hat off. "Oh! Yes I see now lol". Losing your hair ages you a lot. No one wants to look old, except little kids. I get the whole thing about accepting something you can't change. But if one day someone invented a pill that was cheap and didn;t have significant side-effects, how many bald guys would refuse to take it? Very few I think. I think one of the worst aspects is the way it feels so unfair. It doesn;t affect women, which is why they feel empowered to pass comments about appearance that would be totally unacceptable in any other context: you can't imagine a woman's co-workers making jokes about her going grey for example. And some men keep their full head of hair their whole life.

It goes like full head of hair > bald > balding. Balding is the absolute worst look. It also depends on how you kept your hair when you had it. Like Stone Cold Steve Austin looked much better with a shaved head, because he kept his hair in a ridiculous fashion when he had it in the early 90s.

I think guys who are truly bald bald, yes look better with a shaved head. But a lot of these guys lately are getting waaaay ahead of themselves. You do realize thinning or balding does not make you bald. This guy had an absolutely fine head of hair. Was it like that of a full headed teenage, maybe not; but at the same time it was decent. And some men look alot better with some hair than no hair. This is just my opinion. And yes, I have thinning hair. So I keep it short much like this guy did and it looks good. Most men, again unless they have no choice, look a lot better with some hair. Very very few, including myself; would look good shaved clean. Most of us would look like a freak. I think this trend has gone too far.
