I recently read the book The War Of Art a brilliant book and I highly recommend it.
The War Of Art:amzn.to/2mhjGog
There are a few key principles in the book that can really relate to guys who are going bald and wanting to take that step of shaving their head and moving on from it.
- The more you fear shaving off that thin hair, the more you can know it's something that you know will benefit you.
-As the time comes closer and the want to shave it off and move on grows bigger, so will that fear.
- It's normal to fear this change because you are moving to a higher and more positive place with the hair loss.
- As you show others you are going to tackle your insecurity they will show push back known as "Envy driven criticism"
- A lot of guys will feel like they need to change something about themselves before taking this step of shaving their head. This is really just a distraction from the more difficult task. Take the head shaving step first. The other good stuff will follow.
- Watch out for yourself consuming products, especially those that promise the dream of giving you your hair back. This is just another convenient distraction from the more difficult but rewarding task of shaving that balding hair and moving on from hair loss.

It's harder to know when to shave when you're balding at a slower rate. I've been balding for 10+ years, but still have enough hair to warrant keeping it. It sounds weird, but some days I wish it'd all just fall out quicker, then I'd be forced to accept the shaved look and move on instead of dragging out the uncertainty (I know I will be bald, but will it take another 10 years? or 5? or 2? no idea).
I can't complain too much though...aggressive balding in your 20s is a rough hand to be dealt with, but at least it forces you to adapt. Right now I'm torn between enjoying hair while I can, but with the burden of knowing that I'm still balding, albeit slowly.
Im a barber with over 40 years behind the chair. I have also been shaving my head for over 20 years, when your ready you will know it. Relax it will be fine. Once you do shave it you will feel great. Its liberating and empowering. When your ready have your barber do it. You do you bro.
@@russellbogrett605 Yeah, true... I see that a good barber can still make a receding hairline look good up to nw3 (as long as you embrace the hairline, not hide it) but as soon as the front starts to really thin or the crown gets bad I'll be ready for a shaved look
I would guess that it will continue to just slowly thin at a similar rate to the last 10 years. A very interesting point of view. Id say keep rocking it until you don't like it anymore or its bugging you too much.
@@Baldcafe Yeah, seems like that might be the case, but you never know for sure with MPB. Either way I think bald is a strong look, so I'm feeling more prepared for it!
J K I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been saying I wish there were a doctor who could tell me exactly what’s up. Like “how long do I have doc?!”. I appreciate seeing the comment that it will likely go at the same rate. I’ve been wondering for just over ten years myself.
I am 38 and HV plenty of hair, but found your chanel when having a bout of depression. I found ur positive attitude fantastic, and it helped me change my attitude ,and now my depression is slowly being overcome with your contagious attitude and fighting spirit. Thank you!
Marc Lamparter Really pleases my content could help you out man and glad you found it. Really appreciate your support. That’s the beauty of the bad times. With a bit of work they can always be replaced by good times 👌
In denial
@@malcolmx4744 there are lots of challenges people face in life, which trigger depression -not just loosing hair. For me it was triggered when my company closed, and I went back to Uni, working and studying while trying to care for my family. So, though I am not loosing hair the principal of letting go of fear and having a courage's attitude and not being in denial applies to many of the challenges we face in life!
Looking in good shape man keep it up, keep the protein high
Tricky T Comps Thanks man. Always trying 👍
The moment to shave it off is when the balding is inside of your head instead of on it. When your day is dictated by thinking about it constantly is when the time has come. I did it faily early, because I was constantly worrying about it and couldn't really enjoy what I had left, which was pretty much an almost full head of hair with slight thinning back then. Do it when the time is right for you and if you are fine with having thinning hair and don't spend a thought on it, then don't shave. Don't let others dictate what you do. You'll face negative comments in the beginning, I am not gonna sugarcoat that, but people will adapt to your new look and so will you and more sooner than later those negative comments will turn into positive compliments as your confidence rises. I almost couldn't believe on how my very negative reactions in the beginning have changed into praise, not only because I had the balls to do it, but also because the look suits me damn well. Balding sucks, but being bald is awesome!
Love that first part 👍
Harry something else we have in common, shaved heads, beards, and we both play golf!
Trying to rekindle my golfing talent 😂 Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks for the book recommendation. Sounds right up my alley right now.
Ryan Ranger 100% recommend 👍
Waiting for the street interviews 🙌🏼
Oh they coming.
❤️
I love your channel but the first ad that came on was for a hair system 🤔
Nightmare.
you are absolutely amazing mate, you are taking the bulls by the horns and saying it as it is, you are changing my life mate, seriously.
really really good content here!
if the thoughts about your hairloss start occupying you,
you already know what to do in order to overcome it :)
Thank you 🙏 I agree.
Lead us to fight! Good thoughts Harry!
Thank you ✊ Onwards!
if our movement had originated in 19th-century France, it would be called “action baldness” 😂
Once you feel that balding is effecting your life and relationships. Never get attached to vanity because 50 years from now nobody will care how much hair you have or how big your arms are.
Truth.
I have noodle arms
@@nameless8674 My forearms suck, too :/.
But this is the point, when we are Young we want to be beautiful, when we get old we lost this things it's natural but losing your hair in the young age is like accelerat the process
@@nameless8674 my second half have chicken wings 😂
I shaved my head bald a few days ago bc of trich and documented it, i have a lot of videos on my channel about it. it's so freeing and liberating!!
It's very uncommon here in the philippines to go bald. And Im one of those 1 out of 20. It's really affecting my mental health. But thanks for your videos bro. I think Im gonna buzz it all off in the next few days
Shaved it today :)
The right moment is when the balding issue becomes an obsession or you horseshoe shows a lot.
@@tagada7 Exactly what I did 😎
Really glad I found ur channel, great content
I would say it depends on the person and the amount of recession. Sometimes a receded hairline works for some people, such as stephen a smith. As much as people poke fun at his hairline and hairstyle, it actually suits him and his loud/dramatic personality.
DannyLlerenaTV Yeah the ideas in this video are more of a follow up to the first one I put out on the topic. It was pretty difficult to come up with a perfectly suited title for this one. I think if you feel like you’ve had enough of the hair loss and have thought about shaving it off, then it probably shows it’s a good thing to do.
Epic t shirts mate 👍
Andrew Watkins Thank you 🙏 I really love this design for many reasons.
Im so sorry for all the people who's suffering from balding, i still have full of hairs, my hair is no longer falling but i never recovered from the right side of my head's hairs but is not noticeable anyway, i shaved my hair one month ago but im back with my hair, im still lucky.
Juni Delgado Colon Nothing to be sorry about. Glad to hear you are happy 👍
I already shaved my head 3 times and I know what I look like with my head shaved. I'm ugly. But my hair got to a point where I look ugly with hair too. So I don't know what to do and I feel awful, like I'm stuck...
I love this channel
Can you maybe do a vid about scincare, have some acne myself. Thanks and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I will try and get this covered for you for sure 👍
Hi. One question. I have less hair in the crown and every time increases. I already have some years that I cut my hair myself (12 mm max). But I felt about four or five warts on my head. The question is, should I remove them before shaving completely?
LuisFer73 I would suggest removing any warts or big sticky outy moles etc before shaving completely. Mainly for the reason of convenience. It will be difficult to have an enjoyable shave if you need to shave around them each time.
Hey mate, not enough capitalised words in the title for my liking.
bigbobabc123 will go all caps next time. I like variety
What head moisturizer with spf do you use? Your head doesn't look oily which is something I'm looking for. Btw big fan of the channel 🤙
German Tovar I use my own Bald Cafe butter. Coming out soon! 👍 thanks for supporting
Thinking of taking the plunge and razoring mine.. what razor do you use?
Daniel Hills currently using the Harry’s Razor. Brilliant bit of kit. Good luck and get in touch if you do! Insta DM’s always a good place.
@@Baldcafe ohh I've seen that one advertised.. the omnishave seems like the one I want to try I'm just not sure what to try as a first timer. I also have a Phillips onevlade which I love for beard and even 0.1ml for touching up hair but not sure I want to use it for a proper head shave as the hair goes everywhere lool
Daniel Hills All good products. I went with the normal stick razor first as I just found it the easiest to use when I first started shaving me head. 👍
The green keeper needs sacking 🏌️♂️😔
Darren Watters agreed! Did you see that bloody 3 putt on the 2nd! Wtf!
Harry, which electric razor do you think cuts the hair the very shortest without going full razor? I do both depending on my mood. I'm thinking either the Phillips one blade or the Pitbull electric shaver but what do you think?
MR. GENRES both of those give a pretty similar length of shave but the method is different of course. If you suffer with any irritation at all then I’d choose the One Blade. Foil shavers like the pit bull are an interesting one. Best for guys with very little hair left on top I think 👍
I just have a question, do you still using minoxidil for your beard?
Skull Crusher No. check out the video I put up recently called “why I started Baldcafe” and watch the last 10 mins especially 👍 all you questions answered on that
I'm 18 and I'm noticably very bald. Fuck.
I have a lot of hair but it’s ugly as fuck .. curly balls hair .. no shape, they curl without a direction .. it’s everywhere and looks like ass … also I have a few losses but nothing so drastic that I have to shave it all off .. but again it’s mad ugly so … a fresh buzz cut would solve this problem for good … I’m about to brace for impact .. my only concern is the frontal hairline .. I hope it’s shadow will be solid enough
I dunno, I'd rather have a full head of hair.
Greg Kinney as would many I’m sure. Just isn’t worth dwelling on though 👍
what's the real reason you dont want to consider SMP?
Dragos I don’t think there is any need/ reason for me to get it done.
@@Baldcafe 100 percent correct, there is no reason for anyone to do it, by doing SMP you are still trying to hide from losing your hair
Dude it looks fake real life.
Please man shave that beard not completely but it's like you turn your head opposite like too much if you want to rock a bald head better make the beard smaller.
Alex I.a This was recorded pre beard trim
Also I think iam going bald too I have a really small patch like a cowlick behind of my scalp and a small receding hair line.
So in my opinion Iam not quite a fan of a barista style you know like big beard iam more like a simple small beard because when I eat or drink I don't want my full meal fall in my beard.
So when I don't have enough hair and shave my head I think that will be my style.
but now Iam 21 and it's already started I tried to cut the sugar or fat meals like burgers and stuff like hoping they won't fall more than that but i don't know also fuck medicines I don't want creams or paint in my head🤣
Alex I.a just got to go with the flow of it. Ride that balding rollercoaster then hop of with a head shave when you are ready.
Nice video. But get rid of the compensation beard and rock a little stubble or clean shaven
Matt well since you put it so nicely
Having a beard isn’t compensation. It’s an overall look. What do you say to guys with a full head of hair and a beard?
Why are some you so worried about the man's beard? goddamn i ain't never seen so many busy bodies worry about a beard that is not on their face.
Just watched this video, stopped about half way through, got up and went into the bathroom, realized I had no shaving supplies, chickened out, watched a few more minutes, chided myself, went to a store, bought shaving supplies and shaved my head. It's still a bit sensitive, and it doesn't look that good right now due to a few razor bumps, some irritation and the really white skin at the sides, but I'm still really happy I finally did it. Thank you
The moment you know your hair is thinning is when you shave it off. My mentality is, if I don't have the genetics to keep it around like a regular person there's no reason to keep it.
a regular person goes bald. baldness is so common this isnt really an issue
I think he probably means like a person with a full head of hair 👍
shaving my head was the best thing I ever did. Had it like that for 10 years now
Fantastic stuff man. Keep wearing the look proudly.
Another great video my man. Is that Southampton I spot ?
BaldEagle 37 Sure is! Paultons!
Lately I have seen many people talking about massaging the scalp daily in a regular hourly practice, some people literally talking about it as it’s a way to stimulate hair growth.. can you pls make a video about this?
Another great video Harry! Liked the golf playing whilst talking for something a bit different. What’s the story behind the new t-shirt design? 😎
M Flem Thank you! I hoped some guys would like a bit of variety in the content. The design features Adam and Myself. Adam was the first guy to do a “LIVE” episode where we say his whole journey with overcoming the hair loss. It’s also in the style of the Blade Runner movie poster so looks badass! 😃
Ah I thought blade runner - t-shirt looks great! 👍🙌
Why dont groom the beard? The thing with being bald and have beard is that it should look great together.
I have done recently. ua-cam.com/video/9sGuTYS8RBI/v-deo.html
I shaved my head and I look like an arsehole! So ugly! Some guys can pull it off other can't! I wanna cry! Life sucks!
What kind of camera do you use?
This was shot on a Canon 80D last part on a Canon G7X mk2
This is an interesting point of view but in my case I found it liberating to save my hair. My hair is what I grew up with so it had become apart of my identity, losing it as a young man made me feel like I was losing a part of my identity and I was being forced by my genetics to conform to a new version of myself that I didn't like. Using finasteride and getting hair transplants helped me reclaim the identity that I felt was being taken away from me and in turn restored my confidence and mental well being. You look good Baldcafe but the bald look isn't for everybody and I can say that in all of my years fighting hair loss that I regret nothing and I'm glad I didn't "just shave it bro."
Taking drugs and hair transplants is not what we are about here, we are about embracing the truth, shaving the balding hair and living life post hair. Anything else is not accepting the truth.
