- Decided to give you all the low-down of what I've been dealing with these past few months.
One channel I was pointed to while dealing with my situation:

One particular video that resonated with me:
• “I HAD Perfect Hair” B...
Huge thank you to Brei, who helped create the thumbnail for the video!

At a loss for words at the positive messages you all have sent my way already. I can't tell you what it means to me. And it's moved me hearing your stories and experiences. It's nice to know you're not alone
Please always remember how much we love you! ❤️ without any strings attached!
We are always supporting! There will always be someone that will be there for you when you need it. 😊
we love and support you Thomas!!!! you're amazing and beautiful no matter what!!
WE LOVE U THOMASS
honestly dude the hair and beard combo really suits you! glad you’re starting to feel a little better lately
so true!
yeah
drewwww ily
Sometimes i think about how you and thomas are friends for a long time now and my mind is blown every time.😂 Super wholesome
I almost forgot that you and Thomas both got your start on vine at the same time, and it does not feel like that at all now.... it's nice to see you here
It doesn’t matter how long your hair is, you’ll always be beautiful
thank you my hair is down to my spinal cord and i get bullied
Dang right!!!!
@@bonziforest52, Bullied? Bro, that’s admirable. You shouldn’t have been bullied. I cut mine off but it used to be down to my ass and my mum loved doing hairstyles on it. I agree with the commenter, though; No matter the length of the hair, the person is still beautiful.
So true
9:33 I love how you explain what you go through to get to where you are now. I have always struggled to love myself. I have started to believe that I am beautiful just as I am. Thank you for making it easier.
Virgil’s lost his precious bangs, but I’m sure he’ll be fine as long as Thomas’s mental health remains okay. You look amazing Thomas. ❤️😁
I can see that as a whole Sanders Sides video. Virgil starting out with a bad emo wig.
He can start wearing safety pins now
I think Virgil would rather loose his bangs if it kept Thomas from being overwhelmed with anxiety
@@anthonycorais-marsh5503 Yea probably. For those who remember, there is a video (I think it’s the puppet one) where Virgil says “Oh, my precious bangs”. But I can definitely see Virgil’s concern for Thomas’s mental health trumping his love for his bangs. Virgil is very caring and will always put Thomas before himself
He can always wear a cool hat or embrace the hood on his jacket.
Damn. The day Thomas went from a teen Vine Star to an adult.
We’ve all changed our hairstyles since we started watching you. I’m glad you’re growing with us!
he looks damn cool!
I agree
I know!!! It made me realize how old I am-
@@emilyspencer1603same here
i’ve seen someone somewhere saying that hair holds memories (or something along those lines)
i can’t think of the words i want to say, but here’s hoping the vibes come across alright!
Thomas with facial hair is my gender goals
You're gonna do great!
Same.
-your local ftm trans ❤️🏳️⚧️
100%
Nice
SAME
Can we all just appreciate Thomas for a moment? This man is so amazing. And for Thomas, keep going buddy, the haircut looks great, and we’ll support you every step of this journey!
The hair, beard, the earrings who is this stylish new Thomas'?! Not gonna lie, the floral shirts and scruff's a whole vibe!! Also as a person who's dealt with thin hair and hair loss at times, i am so proud of you for conquering this molehill life decided to turn into a mountain. Wishing you much love and success on this new journey of discovering yourself 💚
The piercing, facial hair & new cut is a vibe, honestly. Thanks for speaking openly about hair loss, a whole bunch of people go through it & you're helping folks you don't even know. Wishing you health & happiness, Thomas.
We'll be hair loss buddies while I start chemo! I'm so genuinely proud of you for this positive attitude, it's sometimes so hard! You got this!!
I don't know what to say, but good luck on the Chemo, I hope everything works out.
Hope everything goes well!
I’m praying for you!!! ❤
hope it turns out well!!
Best of luck! :) I've been through it myself and while the hair loss was even more extreme than Thomas' (and the hats were more wintery based on when I had chemo), I relate very much to what he's saying and the great advice he got.
im 23 years old and having been living with a skin condition/autoimmune disorder my whole life. thank you for speaking about this on your platform! wishing you the speediest of recovery and stay yourself.
Whats the disorder?
Does he have psoriasis?
@@faizanjuanidi1103 hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversus
"At every stage I deserve to love me. I'm *choosing* to love myself" THANK YOU SO MUCH. This message is so important and is the mindset that ultimately helped me with my eating disorder. I hated myself when I was skinny AND when I gained the weight again. Now I am choosing to love myself at any stage, at any weight. It's a choice, and some days it's easier and some days it's harder, but you keep making the decision every day, and it will change your life for the better!
Hate the fat not yourself
Honestly, the new hair mixed with the current facial hair gives me the vibe that Thomas is getting more comfortable with his age, if that makes sense. Like, it gives off a sense of physical maturity- a phrase that I use with the utmost respect since Thomas has shown to be an incredibly mature person through the Sides- that warms my heart to see, especially since he himself likes the way he looks.
I felt the same way, especially since it seems that he’s more comfortable using words like damn. Tbh it makes me feel like all of us have been growing up together with him, and it’s amazing to see ❤
Yes, I was just thinking this makes Thomas looks like a handsome, more mature version of himself! I like it!
It’s really refreshing to see a new side of Thomas, even if I’m not used to it, and I agree; He looks so mature but still has that admirable childishness that I love and know.
Boy took off the hat and became a man because DAMN THOMAS LOOK AT YOU!
Your hair doesn't define you, it is merely a small frame upon a masterpiece. It's actually very sexy. Not just the haircut but the willingness to open up about this insecurity and vulnerability. Not only to your closest friends and family but the entire internet. Keep being awesome Thomas. ❤
hell yeah
As someone who has struggled with scalp acne and skin picking, I find that using thin fabric beanies really help. Not only is your head covered, but your scalp can breathe too (which means less sweat, hair matting, and excess oil)
If you're tired of using caps, then beanies and bandanas are the best next thing to go for!
i absolutely love how brave and vulnerable you are in telling what you are going through. it could have been a simple matter of "i decided to change up my look because i wanted to" and left it at that. instead you were open and vulnerable and shared a deep personal story, thank you on behalf of anyone else suffering from anything similar. we love and support you no matter your looks, and i hope that your happiness and confidence only continues to grow 💕
I'm sure Virgil is very appreciative of the less stress. Roman is gonna think of so many ways to use it creatively. Pat will be supporting as always. Janus will lie and say you look AWFUL honey honest. Don't ask Remus what he thinks.
Logan is MIA. Not answering the door.
I think you mean Janus will lie say he looks awful because he does look great
@Phoenix Blake ahhhh yes my mistake it's fixed 😆 😅
This seems shockingly accurate
this is so funny
@@Leonagraphy I based it off the most recent Sanders Sides and just....Poor Logan.
But also ORANGE SIDE LOGAN, ORANGE SIDE LOGAN ORANGE SIDE LOGAN lol lets go
As a person who’s losing a lot of hair because of stress (and I’m 20), this video meant a lot to me. It made me feel a bit better about my condition. Thanks, Thomas
My mom also has autoimmune problems, and she also had to change her hair. And I have to say, you're both rocking it! Keep strong, and I hope you feel better.
Getting a haircut has often been a source of control for a lot of people when they lack said control. I’m glad it helped you, Thomas! Keep your spirits up!
as a nonbinary person who's struggling with my self image (especially related to my hair, which has been fetishized for most of my life since people are jerks), i really empathize with the insecurities you've expressed in this video and i'm really proud of you for talking about it. taking control of your appearance and presentation is such a profoundly empowering experience and to anyone else struggling with their body image, you'll get there and you are loved.
Edit: platonically, lesbian to gay stranger on the internet, damn dude you look good!!!!
As another nonbinary humanoid I also relate a lot in this way, which is especially not helpful as my body is very feminine and I overall look very young still. I recently got a haircut again finally in a different way, too, (that I’d seen online and was like ‘yo, that could be styled to be both more feminine or more androgynous’) and found it surprisingly freeing and rejuvenating almost as much as I was nervous about some aspects. It’s not something that often comes to mind when thinking about hair loss struggles or whatnot but I know it definitely is a doozy sometimes with the sheer level that hair can impact dysphoria (and I consider myself lucky that I don’t think my dysphoria overall is very bad, as much as people shouldn’t compare, but in the way where I know I could personally struggle a lot more with dysphoria than I typically do on a day to day).
But yah, just wanted to express my own similar relation/understandings/experiences regarding being nonbinary and the chaos of hair ❤
First of all I've never ever commented on a UA-cam video in my life so actually doing so says something. Thomas your an amazing person that has helped A LOT of people with their issues and over come things that can be unbearable myself included. So I say this with a full heart and smile you are loved, supported and adored by so many including myself. I'm 36 and I've watched you since your first vine so it doesn't matter if your straight, gay, long haired, short haired or full on hairy like chewy from star wars.. we love you for you! Thanx for everything you do for your fans and being so inspirational! Much love
Rj
This means the world to hear, Rj, and I'm honored you took the time to send me this message
@@ThomasSanders no biggie fam I like to help people in any way I can and if I can help a person like you that has helped me.. it's a no brainer oh by the way bro.. the short hair, scruff and ear piercing look good on you. Your homies don't lie much love Thomas and I can't wait for the next season of Roleslaying with Roman
I know this has been out for months so the likelihood of you, Thomas, seeing this comment is slim to none. But i wanted to thank you for sharing both your experience and the wisdom that's come with it. I struggle with trichotillomania (hair-pulling) and I've been on testosterone for about two years and some change. And boy when those two things interact it can get real bad! I often feel a lot of shame about my body because i have these major bald spots on my face, chest, and pubic area from the amount of hair I've pulled without thinking about it.
But seeing that you've struggled with your hair and have decided to love your hair as it is, has been, and will be... It gives me the courage to love my hair and my body, regardless of the circumstance. Thank you.
I've been dealing with trichotillomania for a long time and one of the nicest things for me has always just been shaving it off. I'm so proud of you for working towards acceptance and kindness towards your body and the things that it does. I'm grateful for your openness about the struggle. Thank you
Thomas entered his hot dad stage of life, we love to see it. But seriously tho, as somebody who has had issues with body positivity and hair loss i'm so proud of you thomas! It's not an easy thing to handle, especially as a large online presence. ❤❤
Hot dad era 💅 😃
To quote you:"It's different, but I like that it's different"
Proud of you for having the confidence to show us!
I can relate to this a lot. I have a bad autoimmune condition that causes balding in places. As a feminine person, it caused a lot of stress and judgment. Shaving it made me feel more in-control of my life. I was worried about the change because of my autism but it truly was one of the best decisions of my life. It’s very strong of you to take control like that I can say we are all very happy for you!!!
As someone who is struggling with mental health right now, hearing you talk about your struggles and how you are getting through it, in this video and others, helps a lot😊 You look absolutely amazing as always, and thank you so much for keeping on doing these❤
Don't forget that there are people on this world for you and you for them.
@@drakokamikaze8823 ❤️
A: The hair, facial hair, and piercings are working for you damn well. Congrats!
2: I almost bought that same shirt 😂
I was literally going through comments hoping someone would mention where that shirt is from. Do you remember where you saw it?
I’ve been a fan for so many years and I’ve actually been experiencing hair loss due to Lupus, I’m glad to see how you handled it and you look amazing Thomas. We love you so much and I’m happy you shared this with us
It’s amazing Thomas, you legit helped raise me and seeing this, it’s like a new adult era, baby face thomas has blossomed into man face THOM, I’m proud of you man, you’ve got this and remember we’re all here
No matter what your hair looks like you’re rocking it! I have alopecia, and you and your words helped me feel better about the way I look. Thank you. We’ve all got your back!
I never thought you would ever change your hair outside of the purple. It looks so amazing! Awesome thomas!
Ok, that haircut, the facial hair, the piercings! You are still rocking it Thomas! We all support you with any changes you are making and are on this ride with you! We love Thomas ❤
duudeee the haircut really suits with the beard, im digging it so much 🥰😍
As someone whose finally getting over their own stress induced autoimmune disorder (had a giant bald spot that’s finally getting covered up by my growing hair.) it does get better as you rediscover yourself because like you said, hair is a surprisingly big part of someone’s identity. I hope you keep feeling better everyday and I’m honestly digging the new style. Self care is key!
I never knew how much I needed to see Thomas with piercings... HE LOOKS SO GOOD!!! Not only is talking to friends and family about insecurities difficult enough, but you're telling the internet and I can't tell you enough how much that helps me. You inspired me to feel comfortable enough to come out to my mom, and to express myself better; thank you for everything, truly :)
🎉 Thats awesome
You are continuing to be a model of the importance of a close circle of friends and family, love and self-acceptance to now _multiple_ cohorts of young people. Thank you ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷
If I have been able to do that, I'm incredibly thankful and humbled.
You’re an angel. As someone who has dealt with hair loss in the past, IT GREW BACK! It’s a long story, but I so understand hair being a part of our identity. Its something we take for granted til it’s gone and my heart breaks with you. Sending you so much love and support.
I love how even during more serious videos about his personal life, there's gotta be elements of sketch comedy XD. Love ya, Thomas. You look great, man.
As someone who suffers from trichotillomania this hits home.
i'm glad to see you taking this in stride and not letting it get the best of you.
you're amazing Thomas!
just wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone :) sometimes with trichotrillomania you feel like the only person dealing with it, and i promise you’re not. you arent going crazy or faking it, you are real and valid. im sending all the platonic love
me too!!
trich babes assemble ❤
Present!
I also suffer from trich! I hope you're doing alright. ❤
Honestly Thomas, with the hair, hat and the facial hair, your whole look is a huge vibe, you're growing into your ultimate dad form!
You give off fun uncle vibes and I love it
Looking good! I’m SO glad you got a snazzy haircut you’re confident in, because your smile is what looks best on you!!
There will never be a time where I look at you, and NOT think, “Thomas looks swiggity swag right now!” You have, and will continue to be one of the most uplifting, beautiful creators, both inside and out. (Also, god DAMN, I love the facial hair with that cut, and the SHIRT TOO-)
The amount of pure pride I felt for you when you took that hat off kinda surprised me and made me tear up, well done Thomas you look great.
Awww! ❤
you are an amazing person, and i'm humbled you felt safe enough to share this with us
We are so proud of you Thomas!! Not only have you trusted us enough to share these feelings, thoughts, and stories with up, but you taught us that even when we don't feel confident in ourselves that there is always going to be someone out there that will help us through our tough times. The short hair really looks amazing on you along with the fascial hair and earrings too^^ I hope that you continue to love yourself the way you are you amazing human!!
OH MY GOD DUDE IT REALLY IS A VIBE! Less of the soft apperence from before and more of a rugged strenght that comes with age. You are doing amazing man! And no matter how you look, your creativity and warmth always shines through. We wish you the best!
It really suits you, you look great!
I'm so glad your getting through this struggle as best as you can, your honesty an inspiration Thomas and you are amazing for that 🥰🥰🥰
it fits you so unbelievably well! im glad that you were able to smile and laugh when you took the hat off. it made me smile and honestly tear up a little. we’re proud of how far youve come!
We will always support you no matter what you're going through! We love you Thomas 💙
You're so strong for sharing this Thomas.
Look at you! Thomas, you look amazing! ❤ Thank you for sharing your story with us. The message of this video is so important!
I'm so happy you found something that makes you feel more comfortable!
And I'm thankful you're willing to share this with all of us.
I know this isn't an easy journey for you, as you've explained before, so seeing you with renewed confidence, and with that beautiful smile on your face, makes me smile too.
I hope your confidence will keep growing, and that you'll smile many genuine smiles from now on 💗
*slow clap that breaks into a standing applause*
You look absolutely amazing, Thomas! I, for one, will always accept you for who you are no matter what you look like.
Thomas we are all so proud of you. The new cut looks amazing by the way! You’re amazing and you’ll always be beautiful and amazing!
The fact I've found this and then you tiktoks make me happy. No matter the look, I'm glad to have your funny short videos back
i have had alopecia since i was three. it started with bald spots but when 4th grade hit i lost my hair completely. you have always given me a safe place since i found you on vine and this video made me so happy and sad to know that you’re dealing with this but happy that i can relate to you in someway. also you rock the short hair ❤
I'm so, so proud of you! I think the short hair looks really good on you! And besides, you'll always be the same old Thomas, no matter what length your hair is! It's not like your entire personality has suddenly changed, you're still you! And let me tell ya buddy, I'm really friggin glad that you're you and nobody else! I love that you're you! After all, if you weren't you, we wouldn't have Sanders Sides, or Cartoon Therapy, a lot of amazing fanart wouldn't exist... If you weren't you, I don't think I would be me, either. I love you man, always. No matter what, I'll always be here for you.
I struggled a lot with losing my hair, and after three years I have only recently started not wearing hats. When you first posted something about it, you really helped me not feel so alone, thank you. My brother graduated yesterday and I was able to go out without a hat to support him.
I’m proud of you.
Great job! I’m glad that you’ve been able to make progress ❤
Thank you guys so much! It means a whole lot to me.
You didn’t owe this explanation to anyone, and you chose to share your vulnerability anyway. You are a courageous and beautiful soul. 💜 Sending massive virtual hugs to you as you go through this. So glad you have a strong support system around you ☺️
We love you Thomas!!! Your new hairstyle looks so good!!! I love the self-empowerment that you have learned to give yourself. Thank you for sharing with us!
I really like how he's still smiling throughout the entire video.
“At every stage in my life I have to find a way to love myself.” This sentiment will stick with me for a long time❤
You look great!! I’m glad you’ve had support through out this!
Aaaaahhhhh!!! So proud of you, Thomas!! Love the hair cut, the facial hair, your shirt!! You're doing amazing!! Love ya so much!
A) you look great!
B) props to the hairdresser for listening to you and giving you another option to make sure you were making the right choice for you
every guy in my family is starting to bald, and i've been scared since i realised i was trans to go on T, because it meant i'd prolly start balding too. but seeing you talk about it, and seeing your short hair, makes me feel a lot better about it. so thank you for sharing this
THOMAS!!!! You look AMAZING!!!! I honestly love the change and it is SO important to know what makes you happy and comfy in your own body!! Love you so much!!! ❤❤❤
Omg the reveal!! You look awesome and cool!! So happy and proud 💜💜💜 good luck on the journey!
It’s a new look, but it’s still you!! As someone who also struggles with change and body positivity, seeing you be so optimistic about this new change in your life is inspiring, it’s really cool to see that these things can be beaten. Thank you for sharing, and of course we’re all here to support you ❤
Watching you take your hat off and smiling the way you did is incredible. You look truly fabulous and you are so very brave for letting us all know. You're amazing; thank you for showing us
I admire how brave you are to be vulnerable with all of us, Thomas. ❤️ Keep up the great work! 😊
You look great, Thomas! Your story about taking back control and making changes that make you feel more comfortable really resonates with me. I plan on making some changes soon and this confirmed that it is the right course of action. Wishing you the best in the future! ❤
We are all here with you, Thomas, High school Musical style. Even just the updates have made me feel so much better, knowing you trusted us with even the updates of your own life. We are all so so proud of you, and you mean alot to us.
You look amazing, no matter what. Thank you so much for the update, Thomas. Love you, And Peace out ❤🫂
It's so inspiring to see you taking your power back. Thank you for continuing to be so vulnerable with us and giving us such a beautiful community.
You honestly have a great head shape for short hair! I'm sorry that you've been dealing with this issue and I'm proud of you for making it work for you! You look fab! ❤
this is such an amazing look for you! I'm so glad it makes you feel more confident! 😁💚💚💚
"At every stage in my life i have to find a way to love myself" this really hits home. As someone whose health makes me feel like I've lost a lot of control.
I absolutely love that you have a great support group and that you're embracing your new look, i absolutely love it. You're looking amazing. Thank you for sharing this not so easy journey with us and sharing your strength you've gathered through the process 🩵🩵🩵
God i love that shirt, I have one like it with purple flowers
Edit: his hairline looks great and the haircut suits him very well❤❤❤
You look incredible! So extremely proud of you for finding the value in your struggles and making accommodations for yourself when needed. Many of us have grown and changed since watching you on vine and, despite the stress this has caused you, it's rather nice to see you grow and change alongside us.
Glad you have found some happiness in the changes happening in your life and I cannot wait to see what comes next from you.
Big hugs from across the pond here in England ❤
I'm so sorry you've been going through this, but just know that you taught us all principles of love and acceptance by watching your videos and while we may not understand what you're going through, we will support and combat that anxiety however we can.
(And Terrence was 100% right, the facial hair and earrings is a SOLID look👌👌👌)
So proud of you showing your hair in its new state…True courage, bravo Thomas! 😊🥰 Take it easy with guys, gals, and non-binary pals 😁
Your videos are a huge proponent to my own mental health and self worth. You are part of the reason I am able to love me.
And while unexpected changes suck major butt (fellow earth sign with anxiety here) I really hope this change helps you on your way to loving you. You look so damn good!! And you are a badass, you have absolutely got this. 🖤✨
Loving the new look, it's so cute!! I've been going thru a similar loss of control in life and watching this video just now helped me recognize it's probably been affecting me more than I was willing to admit... I hope you start feeling more like yourself again as time goes on ✨
Oh sweets I’m so sorry this was all stress induced- I know you’re a hard working man we all love but please don’t push yourself too hard ever♥️
I love how you still manage to pull out funny jokes in hard situations. I hope this year gets better.
It looks so good on you and I'm so glad that it helped you mentally as well!
DUDEE UR SLAYYYY THAT HAIRCUT!!! I'm so glad you're starting to feel back in control!! Love you Thomas, and I hope things get better soon!❤
I love the thought that we can try to let our health struggles make us feel more connected to other people experiencing the same problems rather than letting it make us feel alone
As a higher member of the Cult of Hair who, as part of the initiation, had to swear to never cut or shave a hair on his body, I must say your haircut is beautiful. It goes fantastic with the piercings. Gosh, you make me miss the short styles I had to give up. I just love it.
We're so proud of you! For having a way to feel better about a not so happy situation and for feeling confident enough to put it out there :) Also, you look absolutely fantastic, so digging the vibe :D
You look amazing Thomas! We are so proud of you taking this big step to start feeling yourself again! You’re doing amazing!
I’ve been there. I’ve got psoriasis, eczema and dandruff, and other assorted mental stuff. I’ve lost a lot of my hair on and off, and it’s really nice to hear you normalising. Lots of love to you, and all the best for the future.
I love all of your different flowered shirts! And how you match all of your hats to them!
I'm glad you're feeling better, and your new haircut looks nice! I've had long blonde hair my whole life and I would say it's my best feature lolol so I can understand how it would be distressing to lose something you value as part of your identity but maybe take for granted. I'm glad the change has brought control back to you, and that you feel it's a new start to a better time hopefully. I'm also happy you have such a great support system surrounding you, as it's so important. And I think you look great! Hairs to (hehe) a better year full of joy and healing. I frickin love you! ❤
this looks so good. the beard plus this new cut work so well together. I'm glad it makes you feel confident
