    Joe's UA-cam Channel: / @dadbodvlogs
    In this video video we welcome Joe. Joe had been dealing with his hair loss for many years. He first noticed it in his early - mid twenties and things ramped up relatively quickly. His balding and the insecurities that surrounded it began to impact his life in more and more ways. It was impacting his career and passion as a high level rugby player. He began using hair fibres and photoshopping his pictures to disguise the balding but this continued to erode his confidence in himself further. Joe had never had this short hair before. Watch the moment as he shaves off his thinning hair for the first time starting with a grade 3 buzz cut and ending this video with a grade 0 head shave. As you can see Joe was shocked and it took time for him to get used to his new look.
    Thanks so much Joe for sharing your story as real as it gets here at Baldcafe. That took courage. 🤝 We are forever grateful.

      You make it sound like you're losing an arm, seriously... Also if you're having a really hard time like this guy shaving it off, it's very healthy to do so, even if you're not balding, just to for a lack of a better line, "man up a little".

      This is usually biggest heard mantra and safe-mechanism which is clear indication towards what only bald people will say. It's actually required in order to keep their illusions grandeur despite of opposite reality which is just sad. Because mental wound from balding is so deep and painful that they refuse accept the reality and be truthful to themselfs. In reality they are suffering and being victimized from Stockholm Syndrome.

      Going bald is completely a choice. There is so many different solutions to use towards it and you don't even need to take hair transplant. For my case i started balding and i took first finasterine and then minoxidil, which completely stopped my balding process and hair started growing and coming back. What i found best solution to cope this problem and what really fixed it was taking dosage of propecia. Now someone may say that your dick will stop working while taking it, but back in the days wasn't even aware of this problem, never faced this problem either myself but if anyone decide to try it at your own risk and each at their own i guess. I been having history of taking steroids so taking this wasn't nothing new to me at this point.

    Harry, thanks for uploading this. After years of watching your videos, I decided last year to shave my head. Much like Joe here, I did not like my look. I was fully bald for 6 months, but I just lost all confidence in my appearance. I then decided to grow it back. I have diffuse thinning all throughout the top and it’s clear I’m balding. But I think I look a lot better with hair than without.
    All this is to say, from someone who went from thinning to bald to thinning again, I can understand Joe’s and other’s reaction about the initial shave not always being a triumphant moment. It can be even more devastating because you think you’ll look great bald, but you feel as though you are not. Again, thanks for uploading a video where it’s not all bliss.

    I started losing my hair at 17, and it was devastating for me. High school kids can be brutal! I was extremely insecure about it for over a decade. Then a funny thing happened. I started to realize that the only reason I felt negative about my situation was that it wasn't the "norm" for a young guy to lose his hair. Once I got into my 30s, I started to see more and more of my peers starting to lose their hair also. Now in my 40s and most guys start losing a little. I no longer feel like the odd man. I wished someone explained that to me when I was younger...it would have helped me feel better about myself. I now prefer my shaved head. I shave it myself, so I never have to pay a barber, and I never have to worry about my hair getting messed up. No bed head, no hat head. Overall I look tougher and manlier. You do too, mate! The sooner you embrace it, the sooner you'll love yourself again.

    My hairline started to recede in my mid 20s. Because of it, I rocked a variety of mullets and eventually got tired of doing anything with my hair and took the plunge to shave it. Having a nice shaped head is thankful, but I also think it gives you a sense of confidence you didn't have before. Before, my hair was a security blanket. It was a statement. Shaving it off was a weird feeling, but one I had to learn to cope with. I've received a lot of positive comments on it and have even been told I look very attractive with my head bald. It definitely made me feel a lot better and confident in myself as a whole.

Went to the barbers and he started cutting and I just said "Take it all off please" - he asked me a few times if I was sure. It was a HUGE shock and I had to walk through the city centre after, I felt very paranoid and vulnerable. But after a few days I started to take to my new look, especially when I went into work and my colleagues ALL said I look so much better for it. I would never go back to hair now even if there was a cure for baldness. Shaving my head a couple of weeks is so liberating !

    When you’re losing your hair that first time cropping your hair off is really intense and scary because you’re closing a door on a part of yourself that you’ll never get back again but ALSO you’re freeing yourself. I started losing my hair 25 years and have been shaving my head for 20 and there isn’t a day that goes by that I haven’t thought about it or wished it hadn’t gone but ultimately it just is what is and acceptance is a huge part of moving forward. Brave it and shave it, dudes, it’s the only way. You can do it.

    You don't sound like you're from too far from where I live.
    We've all been there man, that reaction broke my heart because the sou d of that shaver is like a chainsaw when you take that step man... it fucking hurts, and it's terrifying. But YOU BEAT IT. When I did mine, I turned it off and on about ten times, and paced the room shaking just like you... Fair fucks for bravely showing your emotions too dude- that is wonderfully braver than ANY head shave.
    One thing that gets overlooked in the headshave process is how you look there and then. You're in a different environment. A different surrounding in mind and body. You're wearing clothes that you might not wear outside (maybe you do but hopefully you catch my drift) and don't feel presentable. TRUST ME the reward of dressing nicely, having a good shape up on your beard, having a little tan on your chrome dome etc is unmatched. In the summer, having a bald head is ELITE. I feel sorry for those that don't. A plain black/white t shirt on a sunny day, some sunglasses and a radiating head is fucking bliss man... BTW this is NO WAY an attack on how you're dressed or anything, this is a general statement to head shave videos. None of us, me included, did it in the clothes we'd go out in in an hours time - sorta more the longey stuff we wear indoors. Hope I'm making sense 🤣
    I'd recommend shaving it to the wood too, at least to try. It grows back after 2/3 days anyway so no real loss if you don't like it. That made me appreciate the bald look more. The experience of shaving was something I looked forward to. I loved it. You feel clean and sharp! You look fuxking amazing man! Don't tell yourself otherwise, proud of you man 👊🏼

I go 0 guard now but am looking at shavers that will take me down to the skull! I'm really happy without hair now just the initial reaction was a shocker! I think part 2 is in the bio and going public soon so there's more on my journey there. Thanks for your energy man!

    In 2014, I was going bald at the back too. I was chatting up a girl in a bar and we were sitting, level to each other. I was taking the piss out of her and making her laugh. She got up for the bathroom, saw the top of my head for the first time. I saw the disgust on her face. Suffice to say, I was not there when she came back and I started shaving my head soon thereafter. Now, most women won't look twice at me but at least you know where you stand with the ones who do.

    I think the main reason why we men dread going bald is because we feel like our youth is over. It’s like a vestige of our childhood. Once my hair fell out I felt like I was becoming my father.

    I start balding and havе the same pattern as you - receeding crown with unnoticable receeding in front line. The more I get bald the more I shave. It is good idea to shave either head and beard by razor - seems more fresh than buzzing and beard.

    I started shaving my head 13 years ago because of my receding hairline. I felt absolutely amazing the first time I did it because I let go of silly attempts of hiding the problem and for the first time in a long time I felt I looked GOOD! Some years later my then girlfriend made me grow a beard too which made it even better! Whatever you choice is make sure you feel good in your skin brothers! 👊🏼😎

    Never understood why people got so emotional over hair... But fair enough.
    Might be because I shaved my top bald by choice. Like 18-19, just wanted to try. Could always let it grow back if I didn't like it. Nothing was taken from me. From then on, I just liked it, and been shaving my head for the past... Almost 20 years.
    Had nice thick hair back then... Tried letting it grow back a few years ago... Again just to try it. Damn man, it have gotten VERY thing in the front. Back to bald xD

      It's easier if you didn't have anything to lose. But seeing yourself gradually becoming less attractive and trying to hold on to it is what makes it so painful. It's basically taking a next step into a new style and saying goodbye to an old style you will never have again.

    Hey bud, I came across your channel and had to drop some info. Your baldness isn't that bad, you can get at least 60% of what you lost. The good part is you can get it back in like 3 to 6 months. You need, dermaroller, and take two pills daily, dutasteride 0,5mg and minoxidil 5%, I got some of my hair back and went from shaving my head with halt way the clipper opened up to #3 ta the very top. Thankfully there a choice now days.

    Been there myself and I know how it feels, it’s been 8 years or so since I shaved it off, and I can honestly say it doesn’t bother me the slightest. I shave my head every 3 days or so using the pit bull shaver, it does go very low. I would rather shave it off, then have a balding head, the shaved look makes you look much younger, as well as a neater look !!
