      My Dad started going bald when he was in his 20s. He's almost 91, still has hair around his lower scalp (Like a monk lol) but my mom loved him for over 70 years! He still says,"Grass won't grow on a busy street!" and, "God made a few perfect heads. The rest He covered with hair." I have a loose "turkey" neck, genetic. I embrace it, it reminds me of my late mother and grandmother, and they were beautiful. So are YOU!

    I am 32, and I started losing my hair at 16. I want to say a few things about it.
    Realizing I was balding as a teenager was hard. It felt so unfair, and I felt I was the only one. It fucked up my self-esteem for a long time. I tried treatments such as Minoxidil, but they didn't seem to do anything. I browsed the internet for different kind of solutions, but it was soon clear, that the best any treatment could provide was slowing down the process, usually not even stopping it. Over a period of several years I tried to cover my hear with bandanas or caps, refusing to shave my long blond hair. I was numbed by the fact, that while we can medicate and treat all kinds of illnesses, balding isn't curable.
    At the age of 20 finally shaved my head completely. After that I found such a relief, that it felt like almost getting my hair back: I didn't have to worry about it anymore. I coud be myself. I didn't have to have a near panic-attack, if I had to go somewhere where I couldn't wear a hat. Now, at the age of 32, I love how I look. I recently reached the point where I'd been balding for over half my life, and I realized, I haven't been thinking about it for ages.
    As a man, bald as an egg, and as a soon-to-be doctor, I would strongly suggest: don't go down the path of trying to flee balding. It won't work, and you'll be so disappointed in the end. If you feel balding affects your self-esteem, seek help, because that can be arranged. Embrace yourself, bald or not. It is a matter of you own mind, not body.
    May your future be as bright as the reflection from the top of my head on a sunnny day.

      this is a great comment. i'm 23 and have been experiencing hair loss in my early twenties and it's completely killing my confidence. i spent one year shaving my head completely, which helped a bit, but people love to comment on it and i'm constantly reminded that i "look like a 40 year old" and "need a trip to turkey". i've returned to growing the hair on my head, keeping it short and styled but the comments continue.
      i wish there was more space in society for younger balding men without it being the spectacle that people make it out to be.

    Guys, don't lose hope. As someone who has the most aggressive hair loss (my two brothers were Norwood 7 by 28-30), not to mention aggressive retrograde alopecia as well, all my cousins in both families are Norwood 6-7 by 30. I am 32 and have managed to keep 90% of my hair. Unfortunately I experienced bad side effects from finasteride and had to quit. However, using minoxidil + microneedling saved my hair. I strongly believe that DHT is related to blood circulation, which in turn due to low supply leads to hair loss. I used a derma roller + minoxidil and kept losing hair. Once I switched to a high-quality pen, within two months my shedding stopped and my hair started to get thicker by month 4 with a lot of new growth. I have followed this protocol for 5 years and haven't lost ground. It's possible-just be consistent. use a good Pen and do NOT skip sessions. If it worked for me, it should work for EVERYONE.

Also if you visit a good clinic etc they will transplant hair to areas that will be subject to hair loss. I paid 3000$ and couldnt be happier tbh. Even if it means spending another 3000$ in 10 yeard id do it without any hesitation

      Minoxidil may not be enough. You might need to look at DHT blockers for women. I recommend topical DHT blockers like finasteride (NOT Oral), but see a doctor to recommend safe options. If you have PCOS, you likely have more DHT in your scalp.

      Acute nutrient deficiencies can also cause hair loss, independent of DHT levels and DHT sensitivity. Certain vitamins and minerals and other nutrients are vital for healthy hair, including iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin C, omega 3, adequate protein and more. Deficiencies in any of those can exacerbate hair loss, but none of them are likely to "cure" DHT related hair loss. There are also foods high in natural DHT blockers, like lycopene in tomatoes and papaya, or curcuminoids in turmeric, and certain fatty acids, such as oleic acid found in olive oil, etc, though none of those are anywhere near as potent as actual DHT blocking drugs. High blood sugar from a poorly balanced diet and/or lack of exercise may also affect hair health and certain negative lifestyle habits, like smoking may negatively affect hair health. Stopping smoking may reverse some of the damage. Walking (and exercise in general) may also increase cardiovascular health, which may increase blood flow and oxygen levels to the scalp, reducing the effect of DHT, but again unlikely to "cure" DHT related hair loss by itself. Sleep hygiene and stress management are also important. None of these are likely to be an effective cure-all, but all of these in combination, however, may have a noticeable effect on hair density and thickness, and in a best case scenario, may visibly reverse hair loss. Personally I noticed new hair growth after supplementing iron, zinc and B12 for unrelated health reasons, and noticed more new hair growth after switching to a much healthier and much better balanced whole food diet. I also exercise more and started doing relatively intense daily scalp massages to reduce scalp tension and increase blood flow, with some success. My receding hairline has been slowly reversing, and my hair is thicker and denser. Fingers crossed that the trend continues.

      I have many teeth issues too, i'm sorry that you're having to deal with this painful & potentially embarrassing, probably confidence knocking also.
      I'm very into DNA for both health & genealogical research. I had a full genome sequence taken with Nebula Genomics, due to several other painful & debilitating incurable medical diagnoses. For all researched diseases & medical issues, it gives you a percentile (like growth charts for children), so basically they provide you with a likelihood of scientifically researched problems linked with specific genes. I was shocked to have found out that I am in the 100th percentile for Dental Carries [2019 study; Dmitry Shungin, et al.], where they identified 47 genetic variants that are contibuted to Dental Carries... This is, of course, not the only genetic study concerning oral health.
      For me, this 100th percentile makes a lot of sense, as i've not had much luck with my teeth all throughout my life, so shouldn't have been so surprised, but it was interesting.

    The best and far cheapest "cure" for hair loss not mentioned is acceptance. Society and videos like this tells us that baldness is ugly and wrong. Just find your bald style and be happy with the way you look. Being confident about it makes you way more attractive than any attempt to restore hair will. And if people don't accept you or try to shame you for it, you are not the problem, they are.

    Turned 30 last month. Always had lots of hair, never would've thought to have this problem ever in my life (not until my 40s at least). But had a new, shorter hairstyle done in January (which I had been doing every 5-6 months and wasn't noticing anything strange), and was very surprised by the amount of skin that was visible on the top of the head. Had been feeling the same as my 23-25-year-old self up until that moment. Now I'm on vitamines, applying niacin to the skin on the top of the head once in three days and using a popular brand shampoo that claims to help with the issue, too.

      If there is no sides even on that dose for 5 month you can go cheaper and buy 90 tablets of proscar 5mg for at least 3 years and split one tablet in 4.

    From what I remember, body's cannabinoid receptors also play a role in the complex mechanism of hair loss & regrowth. But it's harder to get results from natural extracts as they have mixtures of chemicals that simultaneously agonize and antagonize CB1 and CB2.
    Also, I remember seeing an article where topical 3% peppermint oil was applied on the shaved backs of mice and it did wonders when visually compared with Minoxidil, over just 1 month period. I just googled it again and seems as though others noted this particular study too, as I found the image inserted on a different website.

    Could have mentioned another rather surprising thing about the arrector pili muscle: its absence has been implicated as a causal factor in androgenic alopecia! In 2014 Torkamani et al demonstrated that in AGA the APM is gradually replaced by fat, and eventually detaches from the follicle. This detatchment is supposedly the line in the sand beyond which irreversible miniaturisation occurs. This is sort of where the story ends (for now), although in 2020 it was shown that the neurons innervating the APM go on to form "synapse-like connections" with the hair follicle stem cell supply. The implication being that every part of the hair follicle anatomy is crucial to proper hair growth.

    Thanks for the video. I'm curious about two things:
    1. How trichotillomania affects hair growth and regrowth. Even as I was watching the video, I was pulling at my facial hair. I've been pulling different hair types for ~20 years, starting as an early teen. It started with eyelashes, knuckle hairs, and arm hairs. Now, it is almost entirely beard hairs, standout hairs (thick, dark, gray, long, isolated) on the body, from moles, on my ears, eyebrows, and on and in the nose.
    2. The upper halves of my thighs (where the pant pockets would be) are bare, while the rest of my legs are hairy. I assume this is from a lifestyle influence where I almost always had my hands in my pockets for many years.

    Step one to preventing hair loss?
    Pick the right parents - sorry, too easy :)
    In my unscientific, and small sample size observation:
    2 of 3 of us brothers have very full heads of hair post age 50, with one brother "folliclely challenged" :)
    ...despite 2 bald grandfathers, but a father with a full head of hair at age 85.

    What I don't understand is that going bald doesn't make you dumber, less athletic, less skilled or incompetent or bad at your job yet it makes us feel like we're less worthy. Everything negative that comes with it is simply invented by culture. Even if there was some link to a "health issue" that would make you less viable in evolutionary terms, artificially growing it back is not going to change that. I'm starting to believe that we purposely manufacture this as a bad trait so we can create a huge industry to combat it and take people's money. That's pernicious AF.

    Started going bald at 19, used a toupee for several years because my mother was really concerned about looks and transferred that insecurity to me. Decided to completely shave my head at 27. It changed my life, it gave me back my self confidence not to mention people telling me I look better this way.

    I've been slowly balding for around 10 years. I couldn't give two figs if I was losing hair or not. Less to dry and comb.

    Great video, this video would’ve been extremely helpful a couple months ago because I wrote a research paper on male patterned baldness for my anatomy class.
    Fun fact, finastride has multiple uses. In addition to baldness treatment, finastride is also used as a treatment for prostate cancer by inhibiting the production of DHT which has been linked to controlling prostate growth.

    I'm 34 and finally started to notice hair thinning the past year, although I have so much hair that you wouldn't notice. However the hairline itself seems to be intact so it's more of a loss of overall density.
