I understand this guy, the same was happening and still with myself. I’m broken but that is that way, I can’t change. I have to accept myself. The worst part is everything has came in my 20. I shave my head and now this is me.
Dw man baldness shouldn't get in the way of you being you. Once you get your confidence back you'll realize that's all that you really need to succeed 🙏.
Love your Chanel dude. It’s such a breath of fresh air. Men being men dealing with male issues. But without pussyfooting around the problems. Without promoting or hiding the facts. Embracing the reality that bald is an option. A real option. You can and will look and be better without hair.
Why accept something that will reduce you SMV so much? Its so easy just popping a fin every 3 days. Sometimes i go a few weeks without it. I started at 19 and at 30 i still got a norwood 1.5. Have so many friends that legit are pissed off they didn't do it. Its not hard to accept going bald. But its good to have an option atleast. Sexual sides are sooo rare. But if your already bald, rock it! So much bad stuff that can happen!!
Holy this poor guy went from looking like a twelve year old kid when he was 15 years old to look like a 45 year old dad only five years later. He looks defenetly a lot younger and better again now with the short hair a really big improvement !
@Brandanmayhew I'm not even balding but stfu dawg. No one's "coping" and ur clearly commenting this bc of ur own insecurities u have going on in ur life
i feel you bro. i had a really long and healthy hair until my late 20's and when i was 28 i started balding. When i was 29 i got way worse and impossible to hide and was the moment i decided to shave my hair. I cried as a i saw my hair falling on the ground. I'm 32 now and i still hate seeing myself in the mirror and i fully stopped taking pictures of myself and i always avoid being in group pics (i always volunteer to take the pic for them). Now i'm trying to grow a beard cus i think i can look good if i can grow a proper long beard. Cheers!
You probably were balding long before that I literally started balding as soon as I hit puberty by the time I was 19 it wasn’t noticeable yet to anybody but me that’s when I started using rogain parents caught me made fun of me because they didn’t think I was balding. I’m 35 now. Nobody thinks I’m balding still.
Minoxidil saved me at 18, you have to be consistant and it does take quite a while (around a year) for proper results to show, but now my hair is thicker, and actually grew back in places I lost it. My hair doesn't look perfect and never will, but at least it's better than it could have been.
Currently been using Minoxidil for about 3 weeks now. It's hard to get into the habit of applying every day but if I can get a few more years of thick hair I'll do it
Hey man, im really sorry for what's happened to you. I hope you are doing well. Thankfully, your voice is heard now. Many pros can help you. Many people lose their hair at a very younger age and have nobody to talk to or get help. Wish you the best mate❤
turning 19 in a month and my hairline is absolutely cooked, watching these videos and seeing that im not the only person my age dealing with this problem gives me the courage to shave my head.
Im 21 and I have seen my hair line was receding. But I figured out that was my diet since I was in a cutting phase I was avoiding the most fat intake I could and I started consuming more fat in my food and my hair started getting thicker and grew faster. Sadly my hair line did not came back but at least I stopped it. I also used Biotin shampoos and it makes your hair thicker.
It’s great that he has such a confident attitude! He’s a very good looking guy and I think he actually looks better with a shaved head! Actors can always wear wigs etc so I really don’t think that should hold him back professionally either. The bald head isn’t the main thing that you see when you look at him either, it’s his confidence and spirit!
I feel so uplifted from watching the video. ❤I am a woman with thick long hair and in a way not a target audience for the video, but I am super glad I came across it. My "balding" is the extra 15-20 lbs I've tried to lose for years. This video gave me a needed prospective. Thank you!
This happened to a guy I went to high school with, he was 16/17 too and it was noticeable then. His answer was to get built and as in great shape as he could. I saw a picture of him years later and he shaved his head and was still in great shape/muscular. My heart goes out to guys that go through this at such a young age.
I have had the exact same thing as him only it started when I was 16, I am 18 now, and the way he talks about girls and the stress you get when someone asks to take off your hat is insanely accurate. I really appreciate this guy and his story, it makes me feel like I am not alone thank you very much!!!
Regardless of what happens dude, you're extremely strong dude, you're more that just your hair and honestly you look really good right now!! I wish you the very best!!
My bro was balding at 16. My forehead gets bigger every year. Best thing we did was take care of ourselves, shave our heads, and NOT GIVE A SHIT. You can still get laid and get hot women without hair. And if a woman doesn't like you because of your hair, shes not the type of wonan you want. My balding has alerted me to the red flags of women way earlier. And i have been with some beautiful women. Its just hair guys. Get over it. Lift weights and eat good.
@@warnertesla8297 yes it most definitely will, and this is coming from a girl. i’ve been into some guys who definitely aren’t traditionally attractive because they were so charismatic and confident.
Bro, you are a rockin it... The gem we can take from these things is the transfer of that learning to our next challenge. Well done for cracking the code and getting free my mate
man i can feel that pain and i relate SO much, and I'm just losing hair on the sides... imagine being almost full bald and shaving, thankfully i'm going to have a hair transplant in 8 days, but i feel very happy you are confident again, i can feel all the pain when people say they are balding... and i'm so happy you are feeling good man, congratulations
Thank you for this. I've been stressing for the past few years about it, but I recently have come to this realization, that it doesn't matter that I'm only 19, I shouldn't be afraid of shaving my hair when the time comes. I've stopped comparing myself to others, I just want to be myself
@@ben0789 He said his father side has minimal male baldness. His mother's side all the men are bald. Thus makes sense his turbo balding came from the mother's side.
Started balding at 19 and life has been brutal ever since. I'm 30 now and I've fully come to terms with the fact that it's completely game over for me as it pertains to my dating life so all I do now is cope with the gym and video games. Hopefully I can get a Dog soon to help with the crippling loneliness.
I suspect your hair has nothing to do with it. No confidence and a negative attitude are two things women pick up on. If you cant change those two things just fake it until you make it. Good luck.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 That's blue pilled drivel your spewing. Looks and money are all that matter and personality means next to nothing. I don't make the rules in this clown world. . VVomen didn't like me before I started balding and they definitely won't like me after balding when I'm even uglier. It is what it is.
@EliHank you have a negative mindset. That is a turn off and life draining. Grow a pair and grow confidence. You had years to accept and develop yourself. Yet you choose to indulge in self pity
Hair loss is complex, but androgenic alopecia can reliably be halted using finasteride. Side effects are relatively well understood as well as their mechanisms via blockage of 5ar-2 & 3 in higher doses. Dosing standards need to improve, ideally by dropping initial dosage to 0.25mg per day as that exerts around 75% of the effect on 5ar-1 (the enzyme responsible for male pattern balding), at a quarter the dose, with way lower side-effect risk. We know from it's use in prostate cancer treatment that higher dose is associated with greater side effects, but the maximum effect on balding stops at 1mg, and is about 90% strength at 0.5mg. Minoxidil doesn't need to be 100% understood to understand it's function, utility & limitations. We know enough to know who responds and who doesn't, and why; non-responders lack enough enzymes in their scalp to break minoxidil down into it's active form: minoxidil sulfate. If we can devise methods to make minoxidil sulfate stable, even non-responders could benefit from it, and it may even be more effective than normal minoxidil since it's more chemically active. But honestly? The biggest thing that needs to improve is information and accessibility. If people are too scared to even try preventing it, or don't know how to prevent it, they're *going* to go bald and either regret it, or learn to deal with it. Personally I'd love to see some 5ar blocker that *only* targets 5ar-1, so it would have practically zero psychological side-effects, but the likelihood of that is fairly slim since finasteride has been deemed 'good enough'/within acceptable risk.
I'm balding since 14 yo, 18 now and tommorow cutting my hair. Accepting it seems much better than worrying like all these years, thanks for this video.
Honestly, massive respect! Mine started going at that age as well😅. Hearing someone elses struggle for some reason makes me feel more confident. Thank you for sharing!
Its one thing to find some silver lining or level of acceptance to keep propelling yourself forward in life but we don't need to be delusional about it. Balding still sucks and we definitely do not look better, in my case, with a receded hairline.
Sometimes lack of hair is beneficial. I have pretty standard amount of hair of my head, could've grown them longer if I wanted but man, the short buzzcut is simply too good. It basically gives you an ability to not be bothered by drying your hair or going to hairdressers etc. And losses in appearance are pretty insignificant, I, for one, think that it gives you more mature, serious look which is not a bad thing.
@@wateo1782 I started balding at 13. I'm on pretty aggressive treatment, but still balding today. I'm 19 now, but I still have hair due to treatment. Really thin now though.
@@МаксимК-я4ы Damn... Hope it's stabilized for you now. I've noticed for me that I started visibly losing hair at 22, now at 31 I've somehow stabilized with finasteride and minoxidil. Been on topical finasteride for 7 months so far, noticed improvements in the past two months.
@@wateo1782 I can't take oral Finasteride because I'm too young, so I microdose topical solution. Tried different AI bald filters, really dislike the look. I also notice improvements, but even still, I don't like my hair. I think it never will be as thick as it was before balding. The worst thing is, because It was so long ago, I don't even remember how it looked like before balding. I don't have any of my photos before balding, so I couldn't even show anything to hair transplant doc if I wanted to do a transplant...
@@МаксимК-я4ыAI can't tell the shape of your head. I know it's hard, but trust me when I say that you are likely fortunate enough to have the head shape to compliment your face. It's a journey for all. I'm not balding, but I went and gave myself a skin-close buzz cut and the main thing was overcoming the feeling of unfamiliarity. You will always be you no matter what happens to you. You will remain beautiful.
It's awesome you are sharing your story and feeling great about your new look! For me it was similar, started slightly later at around 21 and I could slow it down with finasteride until around 25/26. Then the shedding came back despite the drugs. So i shaved my head, got off finasteride and never looked back. Not having to constantly worry about how your hair looks is one of the most liberating things there is!
I'd leave the mustache as stubble and maybe try some minoxidil on the jawline to get some stubble growth there as well. Right now the pedostache is not a good look.
I always love watching these reinventing videos. I even make a playlist of my favorite shaves. I started balding at my sweet 16s but it hasn't progressed as fast as that guy in the video. But when the time comes, and I am definitely ready, I will shave my head. Bald is bold, beautiful, and ubiquitous, guys. Legit we never pay mind bald guys when we were young, only when we overfixate on our hairloss, do we panic. But such, life is so much larger than our locks
Hey Man, thanks to this channel and the people that come forward and reveal their journey. Honestly, this is the most inspiring and comforting channel. ❤
Damn that's fucked up. Can't imagine doing baldness speedrun at 17. I'd be chugging that finasteride ngl even tho it's probably bad for you when you're that young. My hairline started to receed when I was 18, but now 9 years later I am still only Norwood 2 technically, it's noticeable that my hair is thining, I think it's called diffuse thining, but It still looks good for now if you style it well. Started taking finasteride recently, like literally two weeks ago, can't speak about any experience with it yet, but one thing is certain is that I don't worry about going bald anymore.
Not gonna lie you look better bald, your head is a little big, but im not gonna lie you do look better bald. I havent met more then 10 people who I have genuinely believed that for, so 🤷♂️
super respect for someone just getting over the inevitable wall. I'm subscribed because my husband needs these sorts of videos for his own MPB,... Boob jobs don't take the same amount of work as male hairline maitinence, but the cost are similar. My own mum she blew a lot of the money on her chest dad gave her for my sister and I. Nothing makes you hate maintenance heavy plastic surgery; and sorry, hair plugs and hormone treatments are that too; like having the power be shut off in a 6 bedroom manor house at a 13 year old kid. It's a bunch of fuzz you don't need to deal with as a young person.

I started balding at 27 and it completely destroyed my mental. I hate myself and I stay at home all day.
Im sorry buddy
Dw man baldness shouldn't get in the way of you being you. Once you get your confidence back you'll realize that's all that you really need to succeed 🙏.
Get the Schick ready. Leave no corner of your scalp unshaven. Get outside and face the world. You will not regret it.
You're a *MAN* not a woman.... toughen up! It's just hair lol
@@NAT-turners-RevengeYeah tell that to all the women. Not many of them accept balding men especially if it happens at a very young age.
Love your Chanel dude. It’s such a breath of fresh air. Men being men dealing with male issues. But without pussyfooting around the problems. Without promoting or hiding the facts. Embracing the reality that bald is an option. A real option. You can and will look and be better without hair.
Hell Yeah 👌
@@Baldcafe and maybe we start a bald event. Meet up. Celebrate being silky warriors 😂😂😂😂🙏
@@Baldcafe imagine an event with 100 Turkish barbers ready to improve the lives of 100s of balding guys. Then we go drink beer 😂
Why accept something that will reduce you SMV so much? Its so easy just popping a fin every 3 days.
Sometimes i go a few weeks without it.
I started at 19 and at 30 i still got a norwood 1.5.
Have so many friends that legit are pissed off they didn't do it.
Its not hard to accept going bald. But its good to have an option atleast. Sexual sides are sooo rare.
But if your already bald, rock it! So much bad stuff that can happen!!
Holy this poor guy went from looking like a twelve year old kid when he was 15 years old to look like a 45 year old dad only five years later. He looks defenetly a lot younger and better again now with the short hair a really big improvement !
Cope😂
@Brandanmayhew I'm not even balding but stfu dawg. No one's "coping" and ur clearly commenting this bc of ur own insecurities u have going on in ur life
i feel you bro. i had a really long and healthy hair until my late 20's and when i was 28 i started balding. When i was 29 i got way worse and impossible to hide and was the moment i decided to shave my hair. I cried as a i saw my hair falling on the ground. I'm 32 now and i still hate seeing myself in the mirror and i fully stopped taking pictures of myself and i always avoid being in group pics (i always volunteer to take the pic for them). Now i'm trying to grow a beard cus i think i can look good if i can grow a proper long beard. Cheers!
You probably were balding long before that I literally started balding as soon as I hit puberty by the time I was 19 it wasn’t noticeable yet to anybody but me that’s when I started using rogain parents caught me made fun of me because they didn’t think I was balding. I’m 35 now. Nobody thinks I’m balding still.
@@michaelsurratt1864Do we need to use it every day? Or can we stop using it after a few years?
Minoxidil saved me at 18, you have to be consistant and it does take quite a while (around a year) for proper results to show, but now my hair is thicker, and actually grew back in places I lost it. My hair doesn't look perfect and never will, but at least it's better than it could have been.
@erikbm1701 so many people casually say this but the biggest issue with hair transplants is having to take finasteride fuck that drug.
Currently been using Minoxidil for about 3 weeks now.
It's hard to get into the habit of applying every day but if I can get a few more years of thick hair I'll do it
@@TheTacticalHaggis its twice day you got to do it in the morning then the afternoon rembeber you need 2 hours before showering
@SamuelIlizarov what's your result 🤔 you use foam or spray??
@@SamuelIlizarov Urgh missions!! I'd rather just go fooking bald m8!! 😂
God i wouldn’t even imagine balding that young at all you’re a trooper majorly
Hey man, im really sorry for what's happened to you. I hope you are doing well. Thankfully, your voice is heard now. Many pros can help you. Many people lose their hair at a very younger age and have nobody to talk to or get help. Wish you the best mate❤
turning 19 in a month and my hairline is absolutely cooked, watching these videos and seeing that im not the only person my age dealing with this problem gives me the courage to shave my head.
Im 21 and I have seen my hair line was receding. But I figured out that was my diet since I was in a cutting phase I was avoiding the most fat intake I could and I started consuming more fat in my food and my hair started getting thicker and grew faster. Sadly my hair line did not came back but at least I stopped it. I also used Biotin shampoos and it makes your hair thicker.
I went bald in 2022 and i was one of the best decisions ever. Been receiving 100% positive opinions.
yeah bcs being bald is better than balding
It’s the process that peers notice. Going grey early also can be a double whammy and cause severe anxiety social distancing all kinds of negativity
Naw, you can always dye your hair a cool color. Going grey is infinitely better then balding.
"100% positive opinions" lmfao if u believe that shit bro
compare how much romantic attention u got from women before and after
It’s great that he has such a confident attitude! He’s a very good looking guy and I think he actually looks better with a shaved head! Actors can always wear wigs etc so I really don’t think that should hold him back professionally either. The bald head isn’t the main thing that you see when you look at him either, it’s his confidence and spirit!
It has to be a scary thing at 17. Just a kid.
I feel so uplifted from watching the video. ❤I am a woman with thick long hair and in a way not a target audience for the video, but I am super glad I came across it. My "balding" is the extra 15-20 lbs I've tried to lose for years. This video gave me a needed prospective. Thank you!
This happened to a guy I went to high school with, he was 16/17 too and it was noticeable then. His answer was to get built and as in great shape as he could. I saw a picture of him years later and he shaved his head and was still in great shape/muscular. My heart goes out to guys that go through this at such a young age.
I have had the exact same thing as him only it started when I was 16, I am 18 now, and the way he talks about girls and the stress you get when someone asks to take off your hat is insanely accurate. I really appreciate this guy and his story, it makes me feel like I am not alone thank you very much!!!
What a cool guy. Thanks for the work man 🫡
God bless you brother. If I start balding I’m shaving my head completely bald or I’ll have a weird haircut and Imma love it!
Guy has a good engaging personality. Anyone speaking to him in person shouldn’t even notice his hair loss.
He looks like Justin Bieber. He can just wear a cap or a hat and that's it.
He got a great RACEnality.

I wish you the very best!!
My bro was balding at 16. My forehead gets bigger every year. Best thing we did was take care of ourselves, shave our heads, and NOT GIVE A SHIT. You can still get laid and get hot women without hair. And if a woman doesn't like you because of your hair, shes not the type of wonan you want. My balding has alerted me to the red flags of women way earlier. And i have been with some beautiful women. Its just hair guys. Get over it. Lift weights and eat good.
Bro knows his stuff 👍
Holy cope. Confidence won't get you girls bro
Your cope level is high
@@warnertesla8297lol. Keep telling yourself that.
@@warnertesla8297 yes it most definitely will, and this is coming from a girl. i’ve been into some guys who definitely aren’t traditionally attractive because they were so charismatic and confident.
Bro, you are a rockin it... The gem we can take from these things is the transfer of that learning to our next challenge. Well done for cracking the code and getting free my mate
this man's mindset is just beautiful, dude was raised well
Absolutely 👌
man i can feel that pain and i relate SO much, and I'm just losing hair on the sides... imagine being almost full bald and shaving, thankfully i'm going to have a hair transplant in 8 days, but i feel very happy you are confident again, i can feel all the pain when people say they are balding... and i'm so happy you are feeling good man, congratulations
Woah dude you look so much more handsome...I'll cast you in a movie if i ever become a director
Thank you for this. I've been stressing for the past few years about it, but I recently have come to this realization, that it doesn't matter that I'm only 19, I shouldn't be afraid of shaving my hair when the time comes. I've stopped comparing myself to others, I just want to be myself
Moms genetics really dusted him
How's that the moms genetics?
@@ben0789 He said his father side has minimal male baldness. His mother's side all the men are bald. Thus makes sense his turbo balding came from the mother's side.
@euj0 people say balding comes from the moms side of the family but if that was true I would be safe from going bald. Sadly I'm not
It always is
Turbo balding is wild. I guess that's what I had also really.
Well done mate got your confidence back 👏
I met a 19 year old that looked like the guy on the right. It was freaky to see that level of baldness... I'm sorry for their loss lol
Don’t be sorry like that bro just respect the handling of the situation. That’s where the focus is 👌
What a weirdo you are....freaked out by another man's appearance because he's bald? LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't have a problem with my hair, however I love watching you, you have helped so many young men, it just makes me happy
Awesome interview guys. I still have my hair but been on fin for like 5+ years.
Thanks for sharing your insight ❤
He looks significantly better with it buzzed/shaved.
Damn bro, these were pages ripped right out of my life. Love the confidence you got.
Started balding at 19 and life has been brutal ever since. I'm 30 now and I've fully come to terms with the fact that it's completely game over for me as it pertains to my dating life so all I do now is cope with the gym and video games. Hopefully I can get a Dog soon to help with the crippling loneliness.
I suspect your hair has nothing to do with it. No confidence and a negative attitude are two things women pick up on. If you cant change those two things just fake it until you make it. Good luck.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 That's blue pilled drivel your spewing. Looks and money are all that matter and personality means next to nothing. I don't make the rules in this clown world. . VVomen didn't like me before I started balding and they definitely won't like me after balding when I'm even uglier. It is what it is.
@EliHank you have a negative mindset. That is a turn off and life draining. Grow a pair and grow confidence. You had years to accept and develop yourself. Yet you choose to indulge in self pity
he's the best person for this to happen to because he actually fits the buzz bald look
He is handsome. The kid had great facial features to begin with, now with the bald look he went from pretty boy to sexy man 👍
Hope you're a woman saying all that 😂
Welcome back Jessie Pinkman
Hair loss is complex, but androgenic alopecia can reliably be halted using finasteride. Side effects are relatively well understood as well as their mechanisms via blockage of 5ar-2 & 3 in higher doses. Dosing standards need to improve, ideally by dropping initial dosage to 0.25mg per day as that exerts around 75% of the effect on 5ar-1 (the enzyme responsible for male pattern balding), at a quarter the dose, with way lower side-effect risk. We know from it's use in prostate cancer treatment that higher dose is associated with greater side effects, but the maximum effect on balding stops at 1mg, and is about 90% strength at 0.5mg.
Minoxidil doesn't need to be 100% understood to understand it's function, utility & limitations. We know enough to know who responds and who doesn't, and why; non-responders lack enough enzymes in their scalp to break minoxidil down into it's active form: minoxidil sulfate. If we can devise methods to make minoxidil sulfate stable, even non-responders could benefit from it, and it may even be more effective than normal minoxidil since it's more chemically active.
But honestly? The biggest thing that needs to improve is information and accessibility. If people are too scared to even try preventing it, or don't know how to prevent it, they're *going* to go bald and either regret it, or learn to deal with it.
Personally I'd love to see some 5ar blocker that *only* targets 5ar-1, so it would have practically zero psychological side-effects, but the likelihood of that is fairly slim since finasteride has been deemed 'good enough'/within acceptable risk.
Damn and i thought loosing my hair at 22 was too early 😢
Shit’s brutal
im 18 and losing it, been shaving it for years and the year i want to grow it out i notice the recession, fucking brutal
I'm balding since 14 yo, 18 now and tommorow cutting my hair. Accepting it seems much better than worrying like all these years, thanks for this video.
You look good with short hair
One of the best guest yet.
For what its worth you look better buzzed than with the long hair seriously
Honestly, massive respect! Mine started going at that age as well😅. Hearing someone elses struggle for some reason makes me feel more confident. Thank you for sharing!
I nothing Bald issue, but I always came back this channel, I like see diference perspectives in life
Its one thing to find some silver lining or level of acceptance to keep propelling yourself forward in life but we don't need to be delusional about it. Balding still sucks and we definitely do not look better, in my case, with a receded hairline.
This guy is an inspiration to anyone double his age and still struggling with it. He’s gonna be fine.
At 19? Hell no, I'd go like "You know what? F off genes, hair transplant time"
Sometimes lack of hair is beneficial. I have pretty standard amount of hair of my head, could've grown them longer if I wanted but man, the short buzzcut is simply too good. It basically gives you an ability to not be bothered by drying your hair or going to hairdressers etc. And losses in appearance are pretty insignificant, I, for one, think that it gives you more mature, serious look which is not a bad thing.
Having a buzz cut and actually balding is different
I knew someone who started balding in middle school/freshman year of highschool. Literally never seen aggression like it.
Just how.... Kid must have been like 15 at that point...
@@wateo1782 I started balding at 13. I'm on pretty aggressive treatment, but still balding today. I'm 19 now, but I still have hair due to treatment. Really thin now though.
@@МаксимК-я4ы Damn... Hope it's stabilized for you now. I've noticed for me that I started visibly losing hair at 22, now at 31 I've somehow stabilized with finasteride and minoxidil. Been on topical finasteride for 7 months so far, noticed improvements in the past two months.
@@wateo1782 I can't take oral Finasteride because I'm too young, so I microdose topical solution. Tried different AI bald filters, really dislike the look. I also notice improvements, but even still, I don't like my hair. I think it never will be as thick as it was before balding. The worst thing is, because It was so long ago, I don't even remember how it looked like before balding. I don't have any of my photos before balding, so I couldn't even show anything to hair transplant doc if I wanted to do a transplant...
@@МаксимК-я4ыAI can't tell the shape of your head. I know it's hard, but trust me when I say that you are likely fortunate enough to have the head shape to compliment your face. It's a journey for all. I'm not balding, but I went and gave myself a skin-close buzz cut and the main thing was overcoming the feeling of unfamiliarity. You will always be you no matter what happens to you. You will remain beautiful.
It's awesome you are sharing your story and feeling great about your new look!
For me it was similar, started slightly later at around 21 and I could slow it down with finasteride until around 25/26.
Then the shedding came back despite the drugs.
So i shaved my head, got off finasteride and never looked back.
Not having to constantly worry about how your hair looks is one of the most liberating things there is!
I'd leave the mustache as stubble and maybe try some minoxidil on the jawline to get some stubble growth there as well. Right now the pedostache is not a good look.
I always love watching these reinventing videos. I even make a playlist of my favorite shaves.
I started balding at my sweet 16s but it hasn't progressed as fast as that guy in the video. But when the time comes, and I am definitely ready, I will shave my head. Bald is bold, beautiful, and ubiquitous, guys.
Legit we never pay mind bald guys when we were young, only when we overfixate on our hairloss, do we panic. But such, life is so much larger than our locks
Hey Man, thanks to this channel and the people that come forward and reveal their journey. Honestly, this is the most inspiring and comforting channel. ❤
He's handsome, so he looks good with that look!!
this would have been me if i didnt start taking finasteride early
You rocking it bro
Balding before 50 is brutal
I suspect it isnt a barrel of laughs at 50 either.
Ketoconazole Shampoo plus Minoxidil plus low dose Finasteride and you will have a full head of hair for your whole life
@@straightflush6095Can you send the precise therapy please ? 🙏
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 yeah but by then its not even balding it's just getting old
Before 50? You mean before 30. A lot of guys start balding after they turn 30.
Shaved head suites him so much better than longer hair, he looks great in the interview.
I guess we will be seeing this guy on tv and in movies pretty soon then.
I have a sneaky suspicion 👌
I loved this, he explained how he felt before and how he feels now etc in so much detail
Damn that's fucked up. Can't imagine doing baldness speedrun at 17. I'd be chugging that finasteride ngl even tho it's probably bad for you when you're that young. My hairline started to receed when I was 18, but now 9 years later I am still only Norwood 2 technically, it's noticeable that my hair is thining, I think it's called diffuse thining, but It still looks good for now if you style it well. Started taking finasteride recently, like literally two weeks ago, can't speak about any experience with it yet, but one thing is certain is that I don't worry about going bald anymore.
i know getting bald is pretty hard to accept, but you look absolut fresh now!!!
Not gonna lie you look better bald, your head is a little big, but im not gonna lie you do look better bald. I havent met more then 10 people who I have genuinely believed that for, so 🤷♂️
happy that this guy has managed to turn his mental around and get his confidence back again 🔥
By 19, I almost had no hair on my forehead
What a beautiful young gentleman! He looks soo amazing now!!
super respect for someone just getting over the inevitable wall. I'm subscribed because my husband needs these sorts of videos for his own MPB,... Boob jobs don't take the same amount of work as male hairline maitinence, but the cost are similar. My own mum she blew a lot of the money on her chest dad gave her for my sister and I. Nothing makes you hate maintenance heavy plastic surgery; and sorry, hair plugs and hormone treatments are that too; like having the power be shut off in a 6 bedroom manor house at a 13 year old kid. It's a bunch of fuzz you don't need to deal with as a young person.
The "work" is swallowing a quarter of a pill every day. This is effective for a huge percentage of people.
