I Grew My Balding Hair Out And It Changed MY Life

[@nazerikson6883]

people who don’t experience hair loss will never understand the level of self awareness and insecurity balding men suffer. Thank you for always reminding us that the only opinion about ourselves that matter are our own

[@Daniel-uk6yr]

@Balding Boulder Well. I'd say men instead of people. Women have a lot of other insecurities they have to deal with from adolescence until they get old. And if you think men are having a hard time dealing with baldness, imagine women with alopecia. My point is just that balding sucks, but people experience other things that make their life miserable too.

Hair loss sucks, especially when in your country hair loss is mainly for elder people.

Only opinion? Sounds like he got you thinking only option. Hair system, thin poly all around with lace in the middle. You think your self, well so will the ladies. I made it a reality! Was up! I took back control, and became the lion with his mane, the king with his crown. I am proud for not confirming to society's way of thinking. Baldness is a choice nowadays. Feel my confidence on them just shave it off offers. Now got better hair than them with natural hair, this ain't your grandpas toupee. Its nowadays advanced hair system. WoooOOo, I don't look like the next bald guy or a felon. I was balding, and I took it like Boss on them haters. FLEXIN STRONG AND HARD on me.

Its not the random people you need to fear giving you shit about going bald, it's ironically your friends and family who act bastardly towards it and its those same individuals whose opinion you value the most and that's why it stings initially.

[@signoguns8501]

Yeah, that sounds brutal. Poor kid. It's one thing to lose your hair when youre 35. It's another thing entirely to lose it when you're a teenager. I can't imagine what that must be like for him. It must be genuinely traumatic. I had a few friends who lost their hair at 20/21. They are 38 now and they have gotten over it completely. They both have shaved heads, are in happy relationships with kids and a mortgage etc. So tell him that it does get easier. Soon, his friends will start losing their hair too. He won't be the only one. That will make it a little bit easier to cope with. Also, I would strongly suggest that you try to get him off of finasteride and minoxidil ASAP! They can have devastating lifelong consequences, including permanent erectile dysfunction and infertility, as well as depression and suicidality. There is a whole slew of negative side effects associated with those drugs. They are incredibly dangerous, especially for someone as young as him. It's just not worth the risk to his long-term health. Try to persuade him to shave it all off. And when he does, TELL HIM HOW GREAT HE LOOKS! Reassure him. Do it all the time. Do it randomly throughout the day. Drop lots of little compliments. Stuff like "oh, that actually really suits you" or "that looks so much better" or "I really like that look" Constant reassurance. Good luck with everything. And remember that it will get better. He will get over it. If you have any questions or need advice, feel free to ask. Ive been through it, too.

Take the plunge brother. My MPB first appeared in high school (age 15) and it took me until 17 to shave it all off. I did it reluctantly, but it turned out to be a major blessing in disguise. I'm 27 now (a decade of clean shaven) and it's the shit. Once you're on the other side you'll realise how much of a burden your hair really was. Having to style it, trying to conceal the balding, having it cut, and all the other stressors and maintenance involved. When you're ready to chop it - you'll look better, feel better, life is easier and more. Balding guys are beta asf and everyone feels bad for them. *Bald guys* are peak masculinity.

You're onto something that goes so far beyond just the struggle of hair loss. It covers virtually every area in which we face fears in life. Getting a hair treatment, shaving it off, wearing a hat...they're all dealing with the symptoms of the problem, not the root. The root is self-confidence. And the only way to build self-confidence is to put your faith in - and to base your happiness of off - something other than your own self-image. Building self-confidence is about, paradoxically, worrying less about yourself and turning yourself outwards to be more concerned with other people and less concerned with how you think others see you and (more to the point) how you see yourself. The only way to "beat balding", as I think you're discovering and explaining so well, is to deal with the root problem head-on. Once that's beat, you're truly free. At the point if you want to go for the hair treatment, or shave it off, or just go au naturel, it's entirely up to you, but your coming from a place of freedom, not enslavement to fear.

[@CatonsvilleCentralRwy]

@@dtosmanm4743 Not at all. Looks help a lot. Lacking exceptional looks can almost be thought of as a “handicap” almost like living with a physical disability in a sense. Life is not fair at all, but it’s all about doing what you can with what you got. One might possibly have been be able to go further in life if they had looks on their side, but if they didn’t, they didn’t. They still only have one shot at life and they might as well make the most of it as they have literally nothing to lose. I believe the studies though, but the studies don’t prove the reason for the results. Could it be that most people who lack the best of looks are troubled by self confidence, and thus become a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy? All I can say is that I know plenty of great guys personally who have taken a shot and landed way “out of their league” successfully. One other point that took me a while to fully realize as a guy: your value as a human being is not in how many sexual partners you’ve had. A massive portion of our society has fallen for that lie, and so we do see the ramifications of that, like it or not, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s not true.

[@dtosmanm4743]

@@CatonsvilleCentralRwy I am just pointing out that this guy thinks he is like the prophet of bald guys when in reality he has it better than most. So yes he can get away with being bald and still have a fulfilling life(mostyl sex life, because you can have a nice life in other aspects being unattractive). But most men cannot go bald because they look like shit so they should look into other options(now if the guy wants to go bald, no problem). The thing is this dude is making it seem it is not a big deal when in reality it is. Not every high value male has to have a lot of sexual partners, but every high value male has the ability to do it if he wants.

@Gorgeous George naw I watch videos on people who take PEDs and a large part of their content is dealing with hair loss associated with taking steroids. Ergo this channel was recommended. Although you did get me thinking and my grandpas brother on my moms side is bald. I don’t think that makes me vulnerable but idk. No hair loss yet.

I so get what why you made this video, as I did exactly what you did over 20 years ago and its only now that, I feel comfortable with it as I look great bald but didn't want to have the thinned look, so well done for sharing, it's so refreshing!

Wow, this made you level up 10 levels Harry! Proud of you man, thank you for your message:). I might try growing it out again next year, I want to feel free for at least a year with a shaved head after 8 years of worrying about my thinning hair. Cheers!

[@dvndroneography]

This channel has helped me cope a lot, still my biggest challenge is identifying with the person in the mirror/photos. I went from 25 to looking 35 in about a years time due to aggressive hair loss. It feels like I woke up a different person.

[@Dyrnwyn]

Shaving your head is easy mode. It's like running away from the problem. Accepting your hair limitations while growing it out, and still loving yourself is the challenge.

[@reygarcia5083]

Been shaving my head since 23, I’m 31 now and a lot more recently I let it grow for 2 weeks before shaving because I’m bored of shaving it 3 times a week and I don’t care anymore what people think, great video mate

[@chillys9980]

So Im 20 to 21 years old and had anxiety about my receding hairline for about 4 years. After watching your channel for like a year I've decided to finally shave it off on March because I was feeling super insecure about it. During those 5 months I've realized that not only my anxiety has gone away but also that I still have enough hair to have them grown back, which I did. So concluding I just wanna thank you for helping me overcome this stupid fear of hairloss at a young age bullshit. Keep up the God's work my guy!

[@ghorstbusters6238]

just chillys if you make something of yourself ( I don’t mean money), work on self improvement. The right sort of woman will acknowledge those qualities

[@matthieudelarte3914]

I find that shaving is not a solution because in reality by shaving you don't accept your baldness, on the contrary you hide it. You shave twice a week it's hyper constraining. The goal is to accept yourself even if you have holes on your head or little hair.

[@dweblinveltz5035]

Hearing all of the stories on your channel makes me feel super lucky. My dad was dead-bald in his early 20s. When I first noticed my (already thin by nature) hair receding when I was 16, I figured I'd be bald soon. Now it's been 15 years, and my hair has certainly receded but not to the point that I'm forced to shave it off. Unfortunately for me, however, I have big ears, so I am pretty sure the bald look will only look goofy on me. I've now been on finasteride for a year to prevent any more thinning. Not sure if it is actually working or not, but I guess no change is good.

[@Lucky_beach_bum]

Wow! This video turned out to be about more than just hair. You went on a psychological journey and were humble enough to share your experience with us. Thank you.

I just found this channel today. I've clipped the hair on my balding head close (1/16th inch) for years now. I didn't realize how neurotic I was before until I saw and heard the guys on this channel. I don't think about it much anymore. Most people don't know how traumatic it is to lose one's hair. I love the saying, "Never trust a bald man because he doesn't respect your hair." Clip/shave that hair off guys. Rock on. Peace.

[@T0LL3Y]

You are an inspiration mate. I've been balding for the last 3 years and always put off shaving my head because I was worried until a month ago when I decided I was going to do it and started researching shavers/people in the same situation etc. And I came across your channel and I can honestly say your videos have helped me massively. Today my wahl balding clippers arrived and I am doing it today, thank you my friend and keep up the great work, legend.

[@starwarsfury5393]

What a speech!!! Such an inspiration too is all Balding people, I was on a right downer with my balding hair and I’ve have learnt a lot of how to deal with the situation and I thank you, keep up the good work 👍

It's liberating. Like that scene in GI Jane when she shaves her head and feels so badass.

[@luciogrillo-herbon5327]

Thanks a ton for the motivational speech, sir. I've been losing my hair since I was 17, but I've never had the courage nor the support from others to embrace baldness until now. You've truly changed my life. Cheers from Argentina! P.S.: The word you were looking for was "wisdom" instead of "wiseness" lmao

This is the best video you've ever made for me, mate. I've gone down both roads like you did and then I realized that I had the most success with women when I was at my worst state of half bald / half not. Full horseshoe at 28 but I just rocked it, then I started getting insecure because of some online content. Shaved it off, got in shape and starting to feel a lot better again. Thanks for making this channel. It's all about taking control and being secure with yourself.

"If you think you look good, then you damn well look good." That's a more powerful statement than I was expecting to hear in this video.

[@HayBayle]

I honestly think about this a lot. You see a lot of people saying they wished they shaved sooner, but honestly? It's part of the journey of self-discovery. You have to confront yourself, challenge yourself. At your own pace. It took me about a year of rocking the bald look before someone commented how they preferred my head full of hair. I said "mate, too bad, that hair is gone forever" 😂. Later that party another friend told me how he was sick of his thinning hair and got inspired by that previous comment of mine (and my awesome chrome dome, duh) to just buzz it all off. Such a humbling experience.

[@Ade_1]

Good on you bud its more important to be happy than hairy. That said i have the high sided forhead, i always shaved my hair off until two years ago i decided to grow what i have and tie it back. The motivation for this is that my sister had cancer and i thought there isn't enough people supplying hair for hair systems. Hair loss can be a terrible upset and so unexpected for a lass.

[@cmccallumc]

It's cool to see so many open opinions regarding balding hair without having to push rogaine on your viewers like every other balding "solution" video. I really appreciated listening to the acceptance and self challenging ideas. I'm growing out my sides, as I have a gulf of Mexico scalp lol... My dad had a peninsula scalp lol. But now I can finally have a ponytail! I used to be so insecure, having lost most of my hair at 18... but now I put in the time and have some hair on my sides! I feel more confident not wearing a cap all the time. 13:52 for real! i might even f*ck around with a chonmage!

I was 21-22 when I really really started to notice my receding and thinning hair. I was scared of the thought of being bald so young . I waiting a few more years and I kinda did what u did. I started started by cutting it short with a 2 guard and then a 1 and ultimately with a razor. It was weird at first but then I loved it and have been loving it ever since. Keep the vids going bruv and much love from Kansas.

[@derekdesantis775]

Man! I literally called Bosley up today. Here I am at 35.... been balding for over a decade and thought I’d totally come to terms with it. Been shaving my head for about a decade. Dating honestly hasn’t been that challenging either (not to sound cocky). But I saw this dude with just as much balding going on as me get a successful transplant and it was dope. I’ve had one dream after being bald when I had a full head of hair and it was lovely. This channel is making me rethink the whole transplant business though. I got some other goals that need my attention and energy. Thanks for your quality content!

For the last 3 years I have noticed my hair thinning at the front. I knew it was eventually going to come around as my dad, all 3 uncles and my grandad all became bald at young ages. As I have had a long hair style for a long time im finally going to get get it cut short ready to go full bald. Your videos have truly helped me to realise I shouldn't be scared of the transition.
