I had problems with self esteem due to my balding head...I am only 23 which made it even worse...until one day I got fed up with it and just shaved it all to 0,4cm. My head is not completely bald and at the same time the hair so short that it doesn't draw attention to my thinning hair. The best thing I could do and to be honest, I feel more sexy with bald look than with hair like 40 year old and it certainly makes me look more confident than guys who are trying to hide it by all means possible. And I love hair and hairstyles and still consider having my hair transplanted in the future...but I feel much better bald or with very short hair than balding...

[@MaidOfClay250]

This advice with product, blow drying and thinning the "ring" is very helpful. I was hoping you could also show how to cut the thinning front part of the hair style.

[@smithhoover4711]

I have tried it like 3 years ago and I’m still using it. Remember that you can not expect any miracles when you are balding, your hair will never be the same, but you can make them look better. This is one of a few things that help and trust me I've tried millions of them.

[@samvillahair]

Great to hear!

[@Kimi-xp2th]

Yes it can be the same. With hair transplant

[@paulnutbrown9836]

A big hole in top of crown looks aweful, buzz it off, it looks far better

[@edithp.wethington6297]

I had been suffering from baldness genetics for a long time. Through numerous experiments, I finally realized that only natural treatment method could guarantee the pleasurable results without leaving unpleasant aftereffects, though it certainly require time and patience.

[@edithp.wethington6297]

+Edith P. Wethington Actually, there is a there is a clinically proven method that has helped me and plenty of other folks to control hair fall in as little as 1 months. Remember to give it a go: goodlife5.com/stop-hair-loss-naturally-x13b6b

Thanks Brandon! I have exactly the same hair pattern (or lack of hair) as yours :)

[@MattColler]

Yes - and big ups to Brandon for acting as the model. Glad to see someone else in the same boat. His silent expressions sum up exactly how I feel about my own bald spot...! [P.S. am I showing my age by using the expression "big ups"?]

Hello, nice technique. So, this works on dark hair. How does it work on blond hair? I have a client that has this same issue but blond hair. He wants a slickback cut to try and cover this spot but he said if it dosent work hell go the just a short cut and give in.

[@TheNeckbender]

Thanks Brandon. =) But I suppose that most of the ppl watching this video are slightly "balding", so they aren't exactly laughing at him. They are grateful.

[@DrHistoryV]

how can I find a barber like this, everyone in my area is incompetent

[@kewkabe]

Top salons, but you'll have to pay $80

[@ttp436]

In my opinion learn to do it yourself. I am the only one who know's how to cut my hair and cover my thinned balding area. It's not perfect but comes out better than when a barber does it especially after a week. I colour it myself a shade darker than my natural hair. I use colour sprays and powders, V05 gum paste/wax. From time to time I may go and get a haircut T the barbers but for the last 9-10 years I have been doing it myself. Do whatever makes I feel good. Sometimes I shave it all off which I also like but because of the texture of my hair and the side and back I can style it out when it's longer. I try and be confident and feel good about myself regardless. Good luck man.

[@santoshvantaram]

Is is available in Hyderabad also?

[@lordtrevorthebarber8877]

Great advice...from Trevor the barber uk

[@robkearsy2995]

I don't have a problem parting the hair at the side cause my hair is thinning but it's still thick in the back & kind of long. But I'd never comb it over where I take half the side of the hair to cover it up the it looks ridiculous.

[@jordanpalos9949]

I just saw this video, even though it’s from years ago. I have a male client who is very thin at the crown and has thin hair all on the top of his head. We’ve been taking the sides down and are at a 3 guard & the top is 2 inches. What haircut or products would you recommend? Just wanting another stylist opinion Thanks!!!

[@samvillahair]

hey Jessica. Redken still has the Cerafill line which is what we recommend... www.redken.com/products/hair-care/cerafill#sort=newest There has also been a lot more products showing up on the market that are made of tiny little hair fibers that sort of mask the scalp. You sprinkle or spray them in towards the scalp. We haven't used any of them so it would be hard to say which is best.

[@lifebythenumbers]

Do you recommend using a product like Cerafil Dense Effects in tandem with a product like Toppik or would that be counterproductive?

[@samvillahair]

Hi James, I'm not super familiar with Toppik but I believe it's a hair fiber that you dust in after it's dry. If you are applying to dry hair, the two should work great together!

[@kebas239]

Early stages? Mine is pretty bad and not at that level yet. Have grown it long lately to compensate. About to just say screw it and shave it again.

I am not this bald but have just embraced my thinning hair and now shave it all off. I used to use product to move my hair in all directions to cover up thinning, I was conscious of others noticing my balding and it knocked my confidence. Now I don’t have any of those worries.

Hi there, I used Minoxidil 5% it helps grow my hair so much and at the 5th month of using it I got amazing results then after that my hair started to fall like a crazy and I almost lost all the hair grown during the last couple months.Anyway, I am still on minoxidil5%, hopefully it will grow again.What do you think I should do?

[@3bonix]

+David Elia When did it start falling out? It could be a shedding phase. I also use Rogaine. Every spring, my hair starts to shed like crazy. Then it comes back. Not thicker or anything, but it comes back. Essentially what happens, is the minox kicks your hair out and the one's that come back are thicker.

[@AhmedMD]

3bonix The first time started falling after two months of being on minoxidil then my hair grew nice back till the 7th month "basically this spring" it started falling again, I'm still on minoxidil though!

[@3bonix]

David Elia Keep it up dude. Honestly, Rogaine doesn't grow my hair back, but it slows it down/ keeps what I have. As my bald father once told me: "Don't worry about hair falling out, worry when it doesn't come back". So just keep applying it. I'm actually going through a bad shedding phase myself right now.

[@AhmedMD]

3bonix Oh! me too.I'll stick with it for couple months and let's see what will happen.If it grows back that's will be awesome if not I'll shave it lol. Good luck bro.

This seems like a REALLY good product, so the time it takes to fix it, doesn’t mean it’s a bad product.

Embarrassing and not worth it, stick to natural, either these masking methods or very short haircuts. Women will like it more than Toppik in long run. Can't fool women.

He could have been poisoned. Sometimes when people piss off the Kremlin they get poisoned. When Russian hitmin put uranium into a former FSB agents tea-leaf plant soil, he got uranium sickness several days later. His hair fell out, all his organs failed and then he died. Is your friend experiencing any symptoms like that? When was the last time he visited Moscow? And who did he meet with while he was there? Ask him if he has any Aliases because people who know him might not know him by the name he gave you. Hope that helped. 🙂👍

[@buckemptier]

Baldness is mostly (but not exclusively) inherited from you mothers side.... Is his maternal grandfather bald? That's probably the answer. It's actually more rare to inherit it from your dad's side, I did actually, but the popular belief is that it comes from your mom's side.
