Shaved my head bald at the ridiculously young age of 16 due to severe thinning and an inevitable bald patch to follow. I'm 27 now and my friends are all paranoid about their thinning hair, meanwhile I haven't aged in around 11 years hahahah. Best decision I ever made was to get it off and get on with my life.
Did you go completely bald and does your head still have hair growth ? I can’t imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would be to shave your head every single day.
@@XanVicious I can relate to that. I'm not bald as well, just paranoid. Hope my full head of hair lasts, though I'm not counting on it cuz my dad and grand dad were bald.
Lost my hair when I was 17 or so. Shaved my head every day for the past 10 years. Best advice is to just shave it, grow out a beard and/or go to the gym and get jacked.
Matthew Misleh yes I agree. We aren’t left with many options. I need something to frame my face but my beard it’s too particularly dense and I find I look younger with a relatively short beard.
This was without a doubt my biggest insecurity all through my 20's as I started balding at around 18 - 19. I'm 30 now and finally accept that I am a bald guy, and I actually like it.
My best friend started losing his hair at 18 and I always used to poke fun of him, it was all In jest, but thinking back I realize how cruel it was. Hair is one of those things you only appreciate it until you lose it. When you have hair going bald doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
@@j.j.4150 You do have a point, well honestly omo the problem isnt the haircut, as bald with beard has been a great style and also the buzz cut for exemple that got quite famous a time ago, its more about the hairline itself and the insecurity that comes within as it came in such early times. I dont know how ppl who had to deal with this in their hs or early twenties feels but I can only and definitely sympathize with them.
My hair started receding when I was in my early 20's, got extremely thin on top when I turned 25 and it keeps falling ever since (I'm 28). Greg, I'm mad at you for worrying and wishing you had a "better" hairline. You don't know what it's like to be in the process of losing your hair and see someone way older than you with a full head of hair. If you got this far with a full head of hair, you probably won't lose any more hair. So do me a favour and enjoy what you got, because you got A LOT of it.
Growing my hair out long seemed to make my the hair at the top of my widows peak to pull and get pulled out. It looks like it’s growing back but it freaked me out. I got the classic Dracula thing going on. I’m 33 and my dad never went bald. But his dad was bald at 16. I’m one of those guys who are neurotic about going bald. Props to all the guys out there that go bald and rock it.
Damn dude, same shit happened to me with the widows peak and growing my hair out past my shoulders. Thanks for the comment because I'm neurotic about the same thing.
@@parkasaurusrex I have a slight widows peak, crrently growing out and my temples look like receeding a bit. Could it be my normal hairline? You experience the same?
For the last 8 years ive been telling myself im receiding im 27 and by your description ive had just had a mature hairline since i was 19 😅 so ive spent alot of time worrying about absoulutely nothing ... thank you your video has made me feel 110% better about my self.
Me too. I had a high hair line since I was kid!!! But the rest of my hair on my head is fine and no patchy or thinning areas and no bald spots. I never seen a lot of hair fall out on my pillow or in the shower either, and it grows really fast. I am 45 this year....and have a lot of grey though.
Thx for that comment cuz ive been stressed about my left side hair line seems to be receding even tho im not seeing a falling hair like u said and my other side hairline seems fine so i think it just maturing hair and i really need to stop worrying about it
Maybe I have the same issue aswell then, I am 22 and this year I started to see my hairline has slightly receded a bit, but maybe it’s just the fact I am getting older so maybe it is receding but I just worry a lot because I don’t know if it’s going to carry on receding ?
I'm in my mid twenties and my hairline matured out of nowhere like a year ago, I thought for sure I'll be bald soon but that example you gave of your father gives me some hope! Really hoping it just recedes and stops.
@@souljayenihaha that's crazy I totally forgot about this, it literally did exactly that lol. It definitely receded noticeably back before I made that comment but it hasn't changed much over the last couple years. Hair in the front is maybe a tiny bit thinner but the hairline is holding on lol
@@souljayeni i think i have a mature hairline to because it had a time my forhead was big and i when i went to schol someone said my forhead look big and when i look in the mirror my forhead was big i thought i was going bald but nah it just maturing iam 14 to
@@Hunter-m5t mature hairline is barely ever something that happens that early in age. It’s more likely that’s just your natural hairline and you’ll further recede to your mature hairline in early 20s or late teens
I don't think the transgression from juvenile to mature hairline is just because of it receding, but also that our forehead still developes and gets a bit bigger, stretching it a little bit to the back.
An other thing to add for men with long hair,tying them too tight can lead to a slight loss of hair in the front over time. Easily reversible with a change in hairstyle (a looser bun for instance)
You’re telling me if you began to lose your hair you would embrace it? I find it hard to believe. Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and were a Norwood 5. You’d most definitely try minoxidil or finasteride if not a hair transplant. I respect that you tell guys to embrace it but also wished you would let them know about other options of what they could do to fight it instead of going the virtuous route. Cmon Greg, we both know how much you care about appearance so it’s quite evident to assume you would try minox, finasteride and other treatments if you went past a Norwood 3. Nonetheless great video.
Greg Berzinsky I know that, I’m not saying you wouldn’t worry. But you also said you’d embrace it and made it seem like the overall theme of your video. I disagree with this based on seeing how much you care about your appearance. I think it’s disingenuous that you told people to embrace what they have when you wouldn’t yourself. I mean cmon you had perfect teeth prior and still got porcelain veneers. Plus your modeling has hair as one of its biggest factors. I just truly wished you talked about solutions that could treat the problem instead of telling people to do nothing. That’s my main criticism.
I've been on finasteride since September of 2018 and I can't say I've really seen any results but I'm still taking it because I know they say it takes a lot of time. My sex drive has taken a hit though, rarely think about any of that stuff anymore nor have any urges but that's okay.
Definitely have a mature hairline, maybe pushing slight receding in the corners. Really appreciate the video as its been so long since I've grown out my hair and was getting a little self-conscious. Thanks again!
Hi Greg, it might be interesting to read something from someone who has had male pattern baldness since the age of 16. I thought it was awful and since then I had shaved my hair very short to a total bald head. Thank god I have a strong beard. And I focus on the beard. When it comes to hair, there's nothing more to be done. :) So I'm still a fan of your beard tips.
Since I was 15 I have had long hair now that I'm 50 years today I can definitely see loss of density I'm not bald but definitely thinning and almost cut it all off ...after seeing this video I'm a saved man😄👍
I'm in my 40's now and have a mature hairline. The thing about getting older is the hair gets thinner. If you're used to having thick, coarse hair...it can feel like you're balding when your hair starts to have less volume.
Can your hair thin out during puberty as it matures? Everyone in my close family has a full head of hair except for one uncle, everyone says im over reacting and not going bald, quarantine gave me an absolute lion mane and I could barely see but now that its cut shorter im not sure if its always been this thin or if im balding.
@@tallbeachyblonde5862 I don't think hair should thin out during puberty as it matures but your hair was probably always like that, how old are you and what's your hair type? It can also just appear thin if you have a certain hairstyle, for example if you have your hair cut short and if it's directed upwards your scalp might be a bit more visible in the crown area giving it an illusion that it's thinning, also genetic hair loss is a bit complicated and you can't tell exactly tell whether or not you're gonna go bald just by looking at the hair of people from your close family, sure you can get a rough idea of what you can expect by looking at the hairlines of other's in your family but for example i have a grandfather from my father's side of the family who was bald for generations, so my grandfather's dad was almost completely bald and only his sides remained while his mother's father was also bald and yet my grandfather who is now 71 still retained a decent amount of hair even though both sides of his family had a bald guy each, all in all if you're concerned about your hair just consult a dermatologist and he'll figure it out for you
@@tallbeachyblonde5862 Lol dude it's the same with me and I'm 18! Everyone laughs when I say I'm losing my hair I think I damaged my hair so hopefully it's restorable.
Thank you for a great video. You're reading my mind! I've been obsessing about my thinning hair for these past few days and just thought I should look into if I could possibly embrace it at some point. Like you, I also enjoy being able to have long hair, even though I've also been fine with going shaved in the past. I'm 31 and as far as I can tell, my hairline is at the "level 3" as the temples have receded by about 2 inches from how they were in my teens, which is a big difference, but they don't seem to recede further than that. So my hairline is just very mature, I suppose. And the front of it has not moved at all. As for the rest of my hair... it's thinned out a lot from how it used to be and breaking off very easily. I can see on pics from a few years ago that it was a lot thicker on top. But currently it's still just about thick enough to have long hair in a side-parting without it looking bad. With a middle-parting I can see my scalp shining through a lot, which looks bad, so I avoid that style. It's not technically an "over-comb" but almost, lol. To my defense, it actually looked worse in a short haircut. I really don't wanna lose my hair, but it's starting to slowly sink in that it's just going to happen. I think my plan is gonna be to try medicine to hopefully prevent it from getting worse, and if that doesn't work, then I'll embrace the bald look, I guess. I just don't wanna quit my hair without a fight first.
They told me my step father was my father. He was bald at 18 I was relieve when I saw my real father and he had a full head of hair! Not only that my grandfather from my mothers side had long hair into he’s 70’s. He only lost it because he had cancer.
It's so weird I was almost convinced I was, but it hasn't receded any more in over 4-5 years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, temples and crown both look the same they always have shout out to all those who had a panic attack lmao
To be honest I'm happy to have what remaining hair is left on my head, theres still enough thatch to style doesn't look to thin so very grateful for that, I'm 41 now and all the men bar 1 in my family were completely bald by 25 including my 2 brothers, only one to keep his hair was my grandad, dads dad who my dad always said I look like and have the same hair line. I do find when I'm really stressed I go thiner on top, I noticed this when I lost my mum and dad to cancer a couple years ago, I looked pretty bald on top and thought that I was actually following the male pattern baldness in my family but couple years later my hair has filled again.
I am thinning really badly in several ways but I completely agree. Embrace it. Rock what you’ve got. If it gets too bad, I will gladly shave my head, done it before.
@@ryanryessir just shave it off dude! Thinning hair or a receding hairline are just the worst looks ever. It's either you have a decent hairline and a decent amount of hair on your head, or nothing, no other choice. I advise you to watch Bald Cafe channel ...
Thank you for this video. I'm currently 45 and would say I noticed a distinct light receding of my hairline around the age of 38 (Although, as you stated it could've started earlier but I just didn't notice it). I still have a full head of thick hair but was worried I was loosing it and began using rogaine a few years ago. I think after watching this video I understand better that my hairline is just very much like yours and maybe I shouldn't worry as much.
Same here dude. I noticed a slight change in my early 30s but I'm 48 now and it hasn't changed any further, albeit it's now totally grey. Ha ha. I don't mind that though.
Halfway through this video he suddenly started looking like Nick Cage to me and now I can't unsee it haha Thanks for this information too! Puts me at ease quite a bit
I have abnormally strong baldness for someone who's not even 30 yet. My solution: Grow a beard and shave bald. My confidence is so much higher now that I've embraced the problem and found a solution instead of being constantly self-conscious about it.
Got to love the dice, my father was the only one in his family who was bald and no bald people on mother's side. I'm 21 and well my hair has receded and the middle of my scalp has begun thinning out drastically.
i just went from norwood 0 to norwood 1 at age 24 and panicked over temple recession , i think i got lucky cause my dad was balding at my age , my moms side alll 4 bros have hair in their 40s+ including their dad (my maternal grandfather) is NW 2 at 76, to this day i also cannot grow a beard and my hair is thick and grows too fast (literally a complaint of mine) , so i hope its a good sign i end up like you
Very cool analysis Mr. Berzinsky, you're one of my role models for growing a beard. I'm 38, some thinning on the roof but still enough hair to work with :)
A mature hairline is nothing. It's when you start thinning on top that's killer. I'd like to think that baldness stops at a certain stage but from everything I read, once it starts, it don't stop. Oh well, I can grow a sweet beard. 🤣
Bro im sorry to tell you but if that's you on the pic its already at a very late point. I have thinning but its at an earlier stage. Id suggest a shaved head or buzzed and rock the sweet beard.
@@kindsir1256 This iis true, my dad had a full head of hair into his 40s but it did recede in the fringes a bit. He had a full beard and full head of hair his life.
I definitely have the shape that is described as "mature" but my hair was that shape when I was 6 years old. The difficulty for me is trying to figure out if the temples have gone further back in the last few years. I think they have, but I'm not sure.
You're Norwood 1,5 dude I would say, I wish I had hairline like that in your age haha. I'm 24 and almost Norwood 3 and naturally thin hair. That's why I'm on hairloss medication
So Greg, what would you do if your hairline recession wasn't as much but your crown was really starting to thin out and become close to bald? Would you still feel comfortable with the long hair or do you think it would just draw attention to the crown?
You're getting a matured hairline. Don't worry my corners slightly receded when I was 16 and now I have a matured hairline like my father and my other male family members. Don't worry about it man, but if you're corners are receded way but way to much then that's where you should find a hair doctor and talk to them about the situation. But since you said that their slightly receding then you're getting a matured hairline and there's nothing to worry about. I'm also 17 by the way.
@@alexandermercer4473 it’s not that bad recession but i noticed it started to thin abit at the sides when I was turning 17 but I’ve always had super thick hair anyway so I think I’ll be fine
21 here, noticing some regular thinning and maybe a slight maturing hairline but it's still pretty good. I've always had a somewhat big forehead or normal I guess idk. I can't really grow a beard yet I only really get neck hair and some hair on the burns, if I were to start balding or my hairline just went way tf up like a level 3 I'd be pissed since I can't even at least have a beard to show for it lmao. I'd want to rock a Jason Statham look for sure if I was going bald... My Dad was in his 50's when he passed and he died with a pretty good head of hair, I remember it just looked thinned out but nothing insanely high. Fingers crossed mannnnn
2021 has been a very bad year for my hair. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was stress, maybe it was age. But at the start of 2021 I had a lot of hair. Like, a lot. And then it started falling. It got so bad that every time I ran my fingers through my hair I would come away with a clump of hair. Taking showers was a nightmare, seeing all the hair coming out. Now it seems to have slowed down considerably. Maybe it's a break in the loss or maybe this is where it will stay. I still have a full head of hair, so I am thankful for that. But yeah... seeing all that hair... that's one of the deepest depressions I've had in my life.
I just want you to know that your not the only one who experianced this, maybe it was stress or just a stagnant livestyle for the year, it sucks & was terrifing. Hope everything goes better for you
i was loosing hair a maturing hairline is 99% of the time the first stages of hairloss. Bought myself 5mg finasteride for 3.5 dollars cut in 4 and minoxidil for 7 dollars a month and I regrew my hairline at age of 22. Now I have no signs of hairloss whatsoever. Best decision of my life. I aint accepting my fate of going bald , now not for a big while at least.
It's gotta be so easy for someone like Greg to talk about hairless. "Most of 95% of you are going to lose your hair. I am not in that percentage, now will I ever be, I have fantastic hair for my age. Possibly better than yours"
People having receding hairlineb, trust me , grow a medium beard .. Shave your head ... You will be badass ... very true ... Im lovin my bald and beard look
hahaha this is not desirable in all places..that kind of badass look u described would be seen as uncle/seniors in our country lol.being bald is a curse in here
When i was about 20 i learnt an exercise created by a man called Tom Hagerty which involves using both the front forehead muscles and the muscles in the back of the head (which i had to gain control of FYI). When doing it correctly the scalp moves forwards and backwards and creates a great pump in the scalp when done for about 15-20 minutes. I'm now 37 and have managed to maintain my hair and in a family of all bald men, i'm pretty happy about this.
@@Feeelipeeee ah i see... Apparently it is normal as we age, most of the time it just stops and then starts again later in life. I had hair near my forehead when i was 12 and now, at 21, i dont have it. My hair is simialr to my fathers hair. Also, no onein my family is bald except my father uncle (my grandpas brother), so ig my chances of balding are really low? And yeah i believe this finger/top wrinkle test is bs because it depends on how many wrinkles you have and how big of a forehead you have. My forehead is pretty big and i have a scar on my top wrinkle since i was a kid. I looked at my old pics and it doesnt seem like my hair went up too much...
I am 63 lost my hair around 25 at the time shoulder length mousey blonde so what do you do find a style you like I keep it short and a full beard love yourself then confidence comes accept what you have and please no comb over or try some fancy patterns I love my beard it’s the only thing I have to comb you look great by the way
I was recently looking at a photo of me in 1976, even at 6 I could show movies on my giant forehead... lol (when you have a big head, a big forehead is in the cards I guess) But the good news is that in my early 20's it went up some, but has remained the same since... I'm approaching 50 this summer and although it's significantly higher than Greg's (about an inch above the top wrinkle), it isn't all that bad...
i am 19 now and i almost have realy a bad hair line i could not accepte it , thats realy schoking me and upseting me :'( . i eving that its still not a strong hair line
I have always had a widows peak, but my forehead is tall and somewhat rounded. So it’s a tad unsettling but when I compare to old photos of myself I don’t see a huge difference, perhaps just my skull got bigger as I got older. I’m 27yrs old male and I have a full head of wavy curly hair, my moms dad is bald but my dad has a full head of hair and all the other males in my family have hair except my cousin on my moms side who is losing hair (perhaps he got it from grandpa), but my dads dad has full head of hair and my paternal grandpa has a widows peak and wavy curly hair like mine and he kept his hair till he died at 83yrs old. So hopefully I do NOT go bald. I don’t mind going Grey. But I still remain conscious of my large forehead
I wanted to shave my head during Covid, but I didn't because my family was already distressed with the whole pandemic situation. When I went to the hairdress to get it cut, everyone was like,'Are you crazy?!, people would kill for your hair. I then mentioned the whole shaving my head thing to my family, and I got yelled at So I'm keeping my main for a while
My hairline started maturing at. 28 yrs old and its been the same ever since. A few things you can do to keep up your sex hormone are just healthy habits: 1) sleep well. No less than 7 hours a night 2) quit alcohol. It's a liver burden. 3) exercise regularly- both cardio and weight lifting at minimum 4) sauna, at minimum 2 to 3 days a week to promote nutrient circulation. 5) dont stress needlessly. Keep cortisol low.
I’m 25 and I’d definitely put myself at a level 3. All my uncles on my moms side have good hair, both my grandpas have hair and all my uncles on my dads side have hair, but for some reason my dad is bald. Dunno what that means for me but I’m pretty much expecting to go bald in the next 5 years.
It's common knowledge now it's DHT that is responsible for the amount of hair loss you get. But why some are devastated by this and others are not is so unfair You can try and make light of it but it is such a huge disadvantage to go through life bald.
I started losing my hair at 17, but within 6 months it had accelerated to the point that there was no covering it up. So I said to hell with it I'll just embrace my hair loss and started shaving my head. Now at 34 I am a 7 on that scale.

Don't lie, you don't like it. You would probably trade anything to get your hair back because being bald adds a good 20 years to your age.
You can fight hairloss, dont give up if you really care about your hair. Finasteride and minoxidl do wonders

Maybe I have the same issue aswell then, I am 22 and this year I started to see my hairline has slightly receded a bit, but maybe it’s just the fact I am getting older so maybe it is receding but I just worry a lot because I don’t know if it’s going to carry on receding ?
I'm in my mid twenties and my hairline matured out of nowhere like a year ago, I thought for sure I'll be bald soon but that example you gave of your father gives me some hope! Really hoping it just recedes and stops.
How’s the hairline now man?
@@souljayenihaha that's crazy I totally forgot about this, it literally did exactly that lol. It definitely receded noticeably back before I made that comment but it hasn't changed much over the last couple years. Hair in the front is maybe a tiny bit thinner but the hairline is holding on lol
@@fsxaviator that’s good to hear lol, thanks for replying!
@@souljayeni i think i have a mature hairline to because it had a time my forhead was big and i when i went to schol someone said my forhead look big and when i look in the mirror my forhead was big i thought i was going bald but nah it just maturing iam 14 to
@@Hunter-m5t mature hairline is barely ever something that happens that early in age. It’s more likely that’s just your natural hairline and you’ll further recede to your mature hairline in early 20s or late teens
This felt like Zeus talking to me. "Son accept you are hair loss!"
@@prathmeshmahurkar1575 Sab takle Jama Kar Baitain huwe hai bhai.
I don't think the transgression from juvenile to mature hairline is just because of it receding, but also that our forehead still developes and gets a bit bigger, stretching it a little bit to the back.
An other thing to add for men with long hair,tying them too tight can lead to a slight loss of hair in the front over time. Easily reversible with a change in hairstyle (a looser bun for instance)
Greg, you're totally a NW 1 !
There are also safe treatments to help slow down balding, one doesn't just have to accept it !
You’re telling me if you began to lose your hair you would embrace it? I find it hard to believe. Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and were a Norwood 5. You’d most definitely try minoxidil or finasteride if not a hair transplant. I respect that you tell guys to embrace it but also wished you would let them know about other options of what they could do to fight it instead of going the virtuous route. Cmon Greg, we both know how much you care about appearance so it’s quite evident to assume you would try minox, finasteride and other treatments if you went past a Norwood 3. Nonetheless great video.
Of course I would be bothered as I said at around 9:10 or so. No denying I would worry.
Greg Berzinsky I know that, I’m not saying you wouldn’t worry. But you also said you’d embrace it and made it seem like the overall theme of your video. I disagree with this based on seeing how much you care about your appearance. I think it’s disingenuous that you told people to embrace what they have when you wouldn’t yourself. I mean cmon you had perfect teeth prior and still got porcelain veneers. Plus your modeling has hair as one of its biggest factors. I just truly wished you talked about solutions that could treat the problem instead of telling people to do nothing. That’s my main criticism.
I've been on finasteride since September of 2018 and I can't say I've really seen any results but I'm still taking it because I know they say it takes a lot of time. My sex drive has taken a hit though, rarely think about any of that stuff anymore nor have any urges but that's okay.
Cam finasteride is prevention. Minoxidil is regrowth.
Homer shut up
Great video Greg!
Definitely have a mature hairline, maybe pushing slight receding in the corners. Really appreciate the video as its been so long since I've grown out my hair and was getting a little self-conscious. Thanks again!
Hi Greg, it might be interesting to read something from someone who has had male pattern baldness since the age of 16. I thought it was awful and since then I had shaved my hair very short to a total bald head. Thank god I have a strong beard. And I focus on the beard. When it comes to hair, there's nothing more to be done. :) So I'm still a fan of your beard tips.
Since I was 15 I have had long hair now that I'm 50 years today I can definitely see loss of density I'm not bald but definitely thinning and almost cut it all off ...after seeing this video I'm a saved man😄👍
man u are 50 yo and still scared from balding ..
why did u cut yout hair
I'm in my 40's now and have a mature hairline. The thing about getting older is the hair gets thinner. If you're used to having thick, coarse hair...it can feel like you're balding when your hair starts to have less volume.
im 20 and i feel you.
Can your hair thin out during puberty as it matures? Everyone in my close family has a full head of hair except for one uncle, everyone says im over reacting and not going bald, quarantine gave me an absolute lion mane and I could barely see but now that its cut shorter im not sure if its always been this thin or if im balding.
@@tallbeachyblonde5862 I don't think hair should thin out during puberty as it matures but your hair was probably always like that, how old are you and what's your hair type? It can also just appear thin if you have a certain hairstyle, for example if you have your hair cut short and if it's directed upwards your scalp might be a bit more visible in the crown area giving it an illusion that it's thinning, also genetic hair loss is a bit complicated and you can't tell exactly tell whether or not you're gonna go bald just by looking at the hair of people from your close family, sure you can get a rough idea of what you can expect by looking at the hairlines of other's in your family but for example i have a grandfather from my father's side of the family who was bald for generations, so my grandfather's dad was almost completely bald and only his sides remained while his mother's father was also bald and yet my grandfather who is now 71 still retained a decent amount of hair even though both sides of his family had a bald guy each, all in all if you're concerned about your hair just consult a dermatologist and he'll figure it out for you
@@tallbeachyblonde5862 Lol dude it's the same with me and I'm 18! Everyone laughs when I say I'm losing my hair I think I damaged my hair so hopefully it's restorable.
A lion talking about baldess... what you said was useful, tough. Thanks Mufasa
Thank you for a great video. You're reading my mind! I've been obsessing about my thinning hair for these past few days and just thought I should look into if I could possibly embrace it at some point. Like you, I also enjoy being able to have long hair, even though I've also been fine with going shaved in the past. I'm 31 and as far as I can tell, my hairline is at the "level 3" as the temples have receded by about 2 inches from how they were in my teens, which is a big difference, but they don't seem to recede further than that. So my hairline is just very mature, I suppose. And the front of it has not moved at all.
As for the rest of my hair... it's thinned out a lot from how it used to be and breaking off very easily. I can see on pics from a few years ago that it was a lot thicker on top. But currently it's still just about thick enough to have long hair in a side-parting without it looking bad. With a middle-parting I can see my scalp shining through a lot, which looks bad, so I avoid that style. It's not technically an "over-comb" but almost, lol. To my defense, it actually looked worse in a short haircut.
I really don't wanna lose my hair, but it's starting to slowly sink in that it's just going to happen. I think my plan is gonna be to try medicine to hopefully prevent it from getting worse, and if that doesn't work, then I'll embrace the bald look, I guess. I just don't wanna quit my hair without a fight first.
They told me my step father was my father. He was bald at 18 I was relieve when I saw my real father and he had a full head of hair! Not only that my grandfather from my mothers side had long hair into he’s 70’s. He only lost it because he had cancer.
Thought I was balding, turns out I'm just maturing. Thanks for the video, extremely incitful
Thought I was balding, turns out I am balding
@@dumbdickler670 sameee
It's so weird I was almost convinced I was, but it hasn't receded any more in over 4-5 years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, temples and crown both look the same they always have shout out to all those who had a panic attack lmao
To be honest I'm happy to have what remaining hair is left on my head, theres still enough thatch to style doesn't look to thin so very grateful for that, I'm 41 now and all the men bar 1 in my family were completely bald by 25 including my 2 brothers, only one to keep his hair was my grandad, dads dad who my dad always said I look like and have the same hair line.
I do find when I'm really stressed I go thiner on top, I noticed this when I lost my mum and dad to cancer a couple years ago, I looked pretty bald on top and thought that I was actually following the male pattern baldness in my family but couple years later my hair has filled again.
How is your hair now? Do you think it could have been Telogen Effluvium that just effected the top of your head?
I am thinning really badly in several ways but I completely agree. Embrace it. Rock what you’ve got. If it gets too bad, I will gladly shave my head, done it before.
Let's do a follow up of straight up balding guys who are cool and stylish
GREAT idea...and there are plenty on my opinion
@@BerzinskyRules For every cool/stylish bald dude there will be a bald dude that's fucked. Not everyone has the genetics to rock a bald head

Losing my hair at 21 was the best thing that happened.
No shampoo,no styling,
Wouldn’t want it anyother way.
Did you just go ahead and shave it all? I'm 21 and I have an horrible hair line/thinning now at the front!
Why do us men lose hair on our head but have hair everywhere. I have chest, back ,bum,hair. I have hair everywhere and I’m bald?
@@carljohnsoncj6896 "it is what it is"
@@carljohnsoncj6896 haha😝😂😂😂
@@ryanryessir just shave it off dude! Thinning hair or a receding hairline are just the worst looks ever. It's either you have a decent hairline and a decent amount of hair on your head, or nothing, no other choice. I advise you to watch Bald Cafe channel ...
Thank you for this video. I'm currently 45 and would say I noticed a distinct light receding of my hairline around the age of 38 (Although, as you stated it could've started earlier but I just didn't notice it). I still have a full head of thick hair but was worried I was loosing it and began using rogaine a few years ago. I think after watching this video I understand better that my hairline is just very much like yours and maybe I shouldn't worry as much.
Same here dude. I noticed a slight change in my early 30s but I'm 48 now and it hasn't changed any further, albeit it's now totally grey. Ha ha. I don't mind that though.
@@ariescustom I guess my hairline is alrrady maturing, and i'm 16. It is normal at this age?
@@Homelander5482 It's different for everyone. It might creep back a wee bit then stop or it may keep going. Fingers crossed for the former of the two.
@@ariescustom Thanks, i will pay attention to my hairline to confirm if it's receding or not. Thank you, i was worried about it lol
Yo that beard is fire 🔥🔥
Halfway through this video he suddenly started looking like Nick Cage to me and now I can't unsee it haha
Thanks for this information too! Puts me at ease quite a bit
I have abnormally strong baldness for someone who's not even 30 yet. My solution: Grow a beard and shave bald. My confidence is so much higher now that I've embraced the problem and found a solution instead of being constantly self-conscious about it.
Nice video, Greg! I always look forward to seeing you.
After that zoom in now you need to drop a video on your skin care routine lol looking good brother.
Got to love the dice, my father was the only one in his family who was bald and no bald people on mother's side. I'm 21 and well my hair has receded and the middle of my scalp has begun thinning out drastically.
I can't believe you're almost 60 and you have that much hair on your head!
Good genetics
i just went from norwood 0 to norwood 1 at age 24 and panicked over temple recession , i think i got lucky cause my dad was balding at my age , my moms side alll 4 bros have hair in their 40s+ including their dad (my maternal grandfather) is NW 2 at 76, to this day i also cannot grow a beard and my hair is thick and grows too fast (literally a complaint of mine) , so i hope its a good sign i end up like you
Very cool analysis Mr. Berzinsky, you're one of my role models for growing a beard. I'm 38, some thinning on the roof but still enough hair to work with :)
A mature hairline is nothing. It's when you start thinning on top that's killer. I'd like to think that baldness stops at a certain stage but from everything I read, once it starts, it don't stop. Oh well, I can grow a sweet beard. 🤣
Bro im sorry to tell you but if that's you on the pic its already at a very late point. I have thinning but its at an earlier stage. Id suggest a shaved head or buzzed and rock the sweet beard.
That’s not true... hair loss can stabilise. Because you start receding, doesn’t mean you’re going to go fully bald!
@@kindsir1256 This iis true, my dad had a full head of hair into his 40s but it did recede in the fringes a bit. He had a full beard and full head of hair his life.
Captain Picard rocked a shaved head🖖
I definitely have the shape that is described as "mature" but my hair was that shape when I was 6 years old. The difficulty for me is trying to figure out if the temples have gone further back in the last few years. I think they have, but I'm not sure.
Members in my family have very high foreheads to start with. Men and women....We joked that it was to contain all the power power
youtube just recommended me a bunch of male hair and hairline videos and everyone without fail brings up at least reagan
damn you reagan
You're Norwood 1,5 dude I would say, I wish I had hairline like that in your age haha. I'm 24 and almost Norwood 3 and naturally thin hair. That's why I'm on hairloss medication
This guys hair is freaking perfect
His son's is the same 😂
So Greg, what would you do if your hairline recession wasn't as much but your crown was really starting to thin out and become close to bald? Would you still feel comfortable with the long hair or do you think it would just draw attention to the crown?
I'm 52 and I approve this video.
Ah, if isn’t god himself discussing hair loss.
Great vid, thanks. I feel better about my hair's same issue as yours. I do feel more at peace with it now, knowing 95% of men go through it. Be well.
I’m 17 and my hair is slightly receding at the corners...
You're getting a matured hairline. Don't worry my corners slightly receded when I was 16 and now I have a matured hairline like my father and my other male family members. Don't worry about it man, but if you're corners are receded way but way to much then that's where you should find a hair doctor and talk to them about the situation. But since you said that their slightly receding then you're getting a matured hairline and there's nothing to worry about. I'm also 17 by the way.
@@alexandermercer4473 it’s not that bad recession but i noticed it started to thin abit at the sides when I was turning 17 but I’ve always had super thick hair anyway so I think I’ll be fine
@@stumpz69 Yeah you will man. I have natural thin hair so it's nothing to worry about.
21 here, noticing some regular thinning and maybe a slight maturing hairline but it's still pretty good. I've always had a somewhat big forehead or normal I guess idk. I can't really grow a beard yet I only really get neck hair and some hair on the burns, if I were to start balding or my hairline just went way tf up like a level 3 I'd be pissed since I can't even at least have a beard to show for it lmao. I'd want to rock a Jason Statham look for sure if I was going bald... My Dad was in his 50's when he passed and he died with a pretty good head of hair, I remember it just looked thinned out but nothing insanely high. Fingers crossed mannnnn
2021 has been a very bad year for my hair. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was stress, maybe it was age. But at the start of 2021 I had a lot of hair. Like, a lot. And then it started falling. It got so bad that every time I ran my fingers through my hair I would come away with a clump of hair. Taking showers was a nightmare, seeing all the hair coming out. Now it seems to have slowed down considerably. Maybe it's a break in the loss or maybe this is where it will stay. I still have a full head of hair, so I am thankful for that. But yeah... seeing all that hair... that's one of the deepest depressions I've had in my life.
I just want you to know that your not the only one who experianced this, maybe it was stress or just a stagnant livestyle for the year, it sucks & was terrifing. Hope everything goes better for you
@@kodyballard49 Thanks. Hopefully we've all managed to get out of that slump.

Just saved me from having a heart attack
i was loosing hair a maturing hairline is 99% of the time the first stages of hairloss. Bought myself 5mg finasteride for 3.5 dollars cut in 4 and minoxidil for 7 dollars a month and I regrew my hairline at age of 22. Now I have no signs of hairloss whatsoever. Best decision of my life. I aint accepting my fate of going bald , now not for a big while at least.
What side effects did you notice?
It's gotta be so easy for someone like Greg to talk about hairless. "Most of 95% of you are going to lose your hair. I am not in that percentage, now will I ever be, I have fantastic hair for my age. Possibly better than yours"

When i was about 20 i learnt an exercise created by a man called Tom Hagerty which involves using both the front forehead muscles and the muscles in the back of the head (which i had to gain control of FYI). When doing it correctly the scalp moves forwards and backwards and creates a great pump in the scalp when done for about 15-20 minutes. I'm now 37 and have managed to maintain my hair and in a family of all bald men, i'm pretty happy about this.
even still?
Everyone in my family is bald or going bald.
Me (21): *panic*
(21) same here... *Panic intensifies*
Hes back!!!
My top wrinkle is a whole finger below my hairline, but i didn't notice any hair loss (I'm 20) it's was always like that. Maybe I was born balding?
Over before it even began
You still have your hair?
@@DzenisMelkic Yes, it looks normal tbf, althought I did notice some diffuse thinning on the top and front, only visible when wet.
@@Feeelipeeee ah i see... Apparently it is normal as we age, most of the time it just stops and then starts again later in life. I had hair near my forehead when i was 12 and now, at 21, i dont have it. My hair is simialr to my fathers hair. Also, no onein my family is bald except my father uncle (my grandpas brother), so ig my chances of balding are really low? And yeah i believe this finger/top wrinkle test is bs because it depends on how many wrinkles you have and how big of a forehead you have. My forehead is pretty big and i have a scar on my top wrinkle since i was a kid. I looked at my old pics and it doesnt seem like my hair went up too much...
I am 63 lost my hair around 25 at the time shoulder length mousey blonde so what do you do find a style you like I keep it short and a full beard love yourself then confidence comes accept what you have and please no comb over or try some fancy patterns I love my beard it’s the only thing I have to comb you look great by the way
Kurt Russel has spoken!
I was recently looking at a photo of me in 1976, even at 6 I could show movies on my giant forehead... lol (when you have a big head, a big forehead is in the cards I guess)
But the good news is that in my early 20's it went up some, but has remained the same since... I'm approaching 50 this summer and although it's significantly higher than Greg's (about an inch above the top wrinkle), it isn't all that bad...
This guys hair and beard is godlike

Is that you in the profile pic? Looks like you still have a juvinile hairline
I have always had a widows peak, but my forehead is tall and somewhat rounded. So it’s a tad unsettling but when I compare to old photos of myself I don’t see a huge difference, perhaps just my skull got bigger as I got older. I’m 27yrs old male and I have a full head of wavy curly hair, my moms dad is bald but my dad has a full head of hair and all the other males in my family have hair except my cousin on my moms side who is losing hair (perhaps he got it from grandpa), but my dads dad has full head of hair and my paternal grandpa has a widows peak and wavy curly hair like mine and he kept his hair till he died at 83yrs old. So hopefully I do NOT go bald. I don’t mind going Grey. But I still remain conscious of my large forehead
I wanted to shave my head during Covid, but I didn't because my family was already distressed with the whole pandemic situation.
When I went to the hairdress to get it cut, everyone was like,'Are you crazy?!, people would kill for your hair.

So I'm keeping my main for a while
My hairline started maturing at. 28 yrs old and its been the same ever since. A few things you can do to keep up your sex hormone are just healthy habits:
1) sleep well. No less than 7 hours a night
2) quit alcohol. It's a liver burden.
3) exercise regularly- both cardio and weight lifting at minimum
4) sauna, at minimum 2 to 3 days a week to promote nutrient circulation.
5) dont stress needlessly. Keep cortisol low.

It's common knowledge now it's DHT that is responsible for the amount of hair loss you get. But why some are devastated by this and others are not is so unfair You can try and make light of it but it is such a huge disadvantage to go through life bald.

I started losing my hair at 17, but within 6 months it had accelerated to the point that there was no covering it up. So I said to hell with it I'll just embrace my hair loss and started shaving my head. Now at 34 I am a 7 on that scale.
