You've reached a whole new level of acceptance. The first stage of accepting balding is shaving it all off. The next stage is the realization that you can survive no matter what your hair looks like. I think I'll stick with my current chrome dome but thanks for being such an inspiration 🙏
I think so man. Went pretty much as deep as you can go balding wise. I feel it’s mission accomplished and not time to really get to my purpose of ending balding insecurity for as many men as humanly possible.
I think that heavily depends on your age and relationship status though… I am 26 now and single and the girls I date have no problem with my hairloss, but I think that is due to the fact that I shave my head and I am sure I would have far less dates if I grew my hair longer!
@@BH-ix7nq Would you date someone that is largely overweight, has oily, greasy hair or that has long hair under the armpits? No, you wouldn't. Would you be considered shallow for that? I don't think so, there's al imit to everything, including how much you can just "let go and live how I want" If you're young and you are losing hair, you ought to shave it off, or you look like you're 50 yo or at the very least, someone that really doesn't bother to even look remotely nice. I get that it's your head, your choice, but at the same time, it's other people's choice not to date you if you look 30 years older than you are. It's not being shallow, it tells a lot about a person... usually it means they don't even want to take 30 mins every 3 days to shave what little hair remains. That tells a lot.
I honestly think you look pretty good looking with the balding look. We have to stop demonizing guys who choose to not fully shave their heads and embrace the duality of having hair where it grows but also bald spots wherever it doesn’t.
Honestly it can even look better for some men. But if you have a rather narrow head, the hair on the sides will just make your forehead look even taller. So in most cases completely bald just looks better. I stll respect any guy who lets the remaining hair grow out. I don´t even want all men with hairloss to shave their head because it makes us baldies look less special xD
There’s a lot to be said for the benefits of some Length. I love the feeling of something to touch. I especially like when he had the curls in the back.
The Aristotle look is absolutely amazing to me. But it has to be said: the final look is something very few people can pull off this well! It looks mature and badass!
Peak male form right here! Respect for actually doing this Harry, not everyone would be willing to go with this look. I actually don't think it looks bad.
Harry you have done so much to make me feel comfortable with my own balding. You facing the fear that we all have for 18 months only inspires me more. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for this. I’ve been balding since my early 20’s and it’s a deep insecurity of mine. I’ve longed to have the confidence to grow it out again and just see what’s what but every time I do I get self conscious about how glaring my balding becomes. This video inspires me to consider doing it, just for me.
I love your channel. I'm 24 and my hair is pretty much thinning since like 2-3 years now. At first It's been difficult to accept it, but man you helped me so much. I love it, I love you and everything about this channel. Really, thank you man!
Im 51, and ive had results using indian healing clay mixed with vinegar and water to make a paste, message into scalp and hair, been doing this for 2 weeks, and i have fine hair growing in the front, more than ive had in a long time, oh, and havent used shampoo thru this.
@@wolves1980 um, you just rinse it out after it dries, and you can the clay from Walgreens, Walmart and other places, it's like 9 bucks, but but should last awhile
As a 30 year old dude whose starting to see midly bad hairloss. Watching baldcafe completely changes my mood for the day. Especially this video gives me lots of confidence to rock a thinning hairstyle since I am pretty insecure about my headshape. Thanks man, you are out here making people's life more enjoyable.
I can’t believe the patience you have to grow out your hair on the sides and back like that! Nothing but respect to you for having the confidence to do that and remain positive 👌🏻
Harry you pull off the balding look insanely well. You wear it with confidence and it makes it look good. It almost makes me excited for me to keep losing my hair 😂
excellent video. this expresses perfectly the ultimate acceptance level. i’ve shaved my head for the first time almost a year ago - thanks to your videos -, after four years of mastering a “stealthy architectural combover”. now i’m playing with options such as a Mohawk/Maori/Cherokee of sorts. it’s fun to accept and move forward. we will always have the razor! cheers to all the bald/balding mates.
You are a great and beautiful man, bro! You're perfectly right. No need to be inesecure. I'm struggling myself and you've been a great help. In a world where every insecure can be fixed by transplants and surgery, it's nice to meet someone that centers on acceptance. Balding is okay, it's natural. There's great women who'll love us (and are currently loving us if that's the case)!
I respect you and others on this channel as most can’t deal with the fact that they’re going bald and find a ton of ways to hide it. I will probably go for the bald look soon as I’ve got a m hairline 😅
Something I've noticed here in Saudi Arabia is that a lot of people prefer the balding look than shaving it all off. It's all about accepting yourself and being comfortable with your own skin so to speak.
I’ve been very inspired by people such as Hunter S Thompson for example. Rocking the balding hair for me is very empowering. It forces you to fully let go of judgment and delve into full acceptance of yourself. Recently, I was talking with a full headed friend of mine who told me sincerely he believed I was the most confident man he knew because I was able to fully embrace the look! It takes courage and people will see that ! Much love 🤙
This is actually the most life changing work that I’ve ever witnessed on youtube to be honest. You’re really, actually changing people’s lives with these videos. Thank you 🙏🏼
Legendary stuff, the comb over! 😂 37 and thinning, this channel has helped my mental so much. No meds, no surgeries. Nothing beats working on confidence for what you have been given, and energy in to things you can improve.
I shaved my head for over a decade from early 40’s to mid 50’s. Now I have grown it out the last 10 months and I feel great! It’s like an authentic part of me is back!
I'm 26, shaved my head 2 weeks ago cuz I have some aggressive recession around my temples and wanted to see how I'd look with it shaved. No deliberation, no second guessing, just walked to the bathroom and shaved it. Felt good, weird but good. Personally I prefer myself with hair, but there's no need to be afraid of how you look without hair. Accept what you can't control and you'll be happier
Total respect👏👏👏 For me the biggest lesson from this is that bald or balding guys live their whole lives worrying about what other people will think of them this includes me. This video is inspirational for me as it shows that other people dont really care whether your bald or balding or anything else inbetween. When you shave or buzz your head regularly every time you do it means you have to think about the problem. Theres such a freedom or release about not having to think about the next time you have to shave your head in case someone notices your balding or horseshoe shape. If we can all learn to care more about ourselves and less about other people's opinions who you may not even know this has got to be good for your mental health. Thanks Harry for putting things in perspective 🙏
Deserves a golden globe bald journey acceptance award 🥇 this work has no doubt given thousands of men a boost to go bald or go home courage !!!! 😂 I think this is one of the best videos you have done and need to say thankyou and don’t stop your a legend , god bless
i went through a similar experience having gone 11 months without a cut after buzzing it, the hatfish look was my favorite. i'm honestly happy to have gone back to the buzz now and i feel less self concious about letting it grow out a little in between cuts
dude I dig the greek philosopher look. 32 and have been receding a bit, not sure how far it will progress, but if it does, I would love to rock that socrates look. It shows confidence mixed with ruggedness and wisdom.
That bigish beard with the longish horse shoe… someone help me out with a name for that look…. I think that was my overall favorite era 03:50 and 08:50
I’ve always found this a really attractive look on men, but feel like society/media has made it that you’re not allowed to say so! (Same goes for a receded hairline) - It’s actually a very masculine look.
Thank you for the videos. Ive been experiencing the hair loss over the last few years. Ive always prided myself on my hair. Having nice styles and its worked for me. Your videos have made me more comfortable accepting theres nothing i can do about it, and its not the end of the world.
21 years old , was balding bad at the hairline and my crown and when wet it looked like I was bald already, just shaved my whole head with a #1 guard and I love it . Having a little beard helps too thanks for the inspiration man
Great idea for a channel, shaving is a choice but balding isn't. I started losing my hair in my late teens and it bothered me for many years. Finally, at the age of 44, after a really bad haircut in Phuket I decided to shave it off. Someone helped my so I never saw it until after it was all removed. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking "I can live with that" One of the best decisions I have ever made, I'll never forget the feeling of wiping a cold wet towel over my scalp in the tropical heat...bliss. A few years ago a friend sent me an advertisement for some kind of hair transplant procedure. I told him that if I was offered the best hair transplant/weave/whatever for free I would turn it down and I meant it. Cheers
You’re so right about the look at 4:00. You legit look like Aristotle lmao, you’ve actually inspired me to grow out my beard and hair cause I’m trying to achieve that look now. Thank you mate
You would be an ideal candidate for a hair transplant, your donor area where they pick the transplanted hairs from is very strong and thick. You would get a phenomenal dense hairline. But respect for you sticking to your truth and embracing your bald look. I'm 25 been dealing with hair loss since 19 and I'm starting to come around to shaving it.
Love the horseshoe bald look, with a trimmed beard. As you say yourself several times in the video, you kind of like it. So yes, that 7th month look is now my favorite, I might even go for it myself.
Omg I have been itching to comment almost immediately as I started this video! I love that slicked look, I think it looks fucking AWESOME! All the stages you lliked are all my favourite stages too, I'm so glad you are free of your invisible chains and can absolutely rock these looks! Mate, wear it and never feel the need to shave it off! The beard issue is the key thing here, maybe if you can some help with your skin irritations (you probably are ON IT already lol) but the beard looks great with that growing hair 'Romaneske look' I can't empathize enough how great this video is mate! Super inspired by your journey and so proud that you have the sheer balls to pull these looks off! I am torn between your end look, slicked back with the beard, and the earlier look where you suddenly started to really feel the hair growth around 5+ months mark! The beard really sets it off! 👊
You can make any of those looks work, as you have the main ingredient which is confidence, and owning it, but also not hiding it. Awesome journey man. Keep up with the great content.💪
i wrote it years ago and i write it again: that grown out balding hair suits you the best, even better than ur full head of hair 🤷🏼♂️ great that you finally realized 😊💪🏻
Not gonna lie bro, there’s something chill about the hair growth look. Relaxed, cool geeza vibes 😎 Inspiring many people here to work on internal growth bro ❤️
THank you brother, your content has good heart, im always trying to grown up my bald hair, but around two or three months in i gave up, the relationship with me and my hair, its like if can not have it at maximum potential, its not worth it, but i'm slowly learning that sometimes not having the best, does not mean that is bad
Awesome video man . Your hair looked great all the way through in my opinion. I started shaving in my mid twenties at the first sign of thinning. I couldn’t keep my hair long with the job I had for twenty five years and I didn’t mind the buzzed head look on me . Fast forward to today in my mid 40’s, I’ve been growing it out for 2 months now and like you had said a couple times , I’m not hating it ! After this video I’m going to go at least 8 months! I’m not near as self conscious about it as I was in my twenties. Thanks for making the video brother
I like how you have grown your hair out Harry! I grew out my hair long like yours during COVID and the lockdowns. I loved growing the hair out. I cut it off a one ago April. I love your messages about being confident and not being insecure. Greetings from Canada!
I think the bald pony tail look is really cool. I'm already having a receding hairline so if I reach the point that you are in I might try to rock that look. I think it will help you stand out from the crowd in a positive way, too many people are all copying each other and looking the same but when you do your own thing, you look uniquely yourself. I suggest a white partially buttoned up shirt with leather cuffs to really compliment that masculine care free look the pony tail gives you. Maybe add a dark necklace as well.
I think the look you had at 5:56 and 19:04 looks quite good with the beard as well. I used to be one of those people who would say just shave it of if you're balding but i changed my mind on that now. Do whatever makes you feel good.
It’s because of this channel that I took the plunge to shave my head and was very happy I did it. Now a new form of acceptance that is very inspirational. I don’t know if I can do that because I like my shaved head and easy maintenance. But you are doing so much for the balding community. I def always tell young guys going through the same thing about this channel.
You should do a BaldCafe live show and have some of your biggest transitions on there and have live music and stuff! I’d be up for it! - 6 Month on from you supporting me through my trim and I’m now shaving with the the razor and living the dream as a baldy! Your a legend mate, and videos like this are so eye opening. I’ve seen you get a fair bit of crap for not shaving the head through this process but now we see the end product its clear why. What you learned about yourself you can teach others! Well done my man!
When I first shaved my head and saw people with the balding look I thought to myself: „What are you doing, clinging on to those shreds?“. But you completely changed my view Harry. I even let it grow out for two months myself.
I’m digging the look. I'm at the point where weeks go by and I don't shave my head. The crazy thing is that it doesn't bother me like it used to. The time comes when insecurity goes away and you feel comfortable in your skin. I've been following you for a few years and I've grown with you along the way. you have my respect.
You look great with natural hair and a not too long beard! Months 5 and 10 are my favorites. The mustache also suits you very well. You look happier with hair. I also shaved my head many years ago when I started balding. But then I thought about letting my hair grow even though it's obvious that I'm partly bald... I don't agree with that idea that all of us who are balding want to hide our baldness or are insecure or things like that, I think that on the contrary, we know that we are somewhat bald but we also like how our bald spot looks with some hairs there... regards!
I find it hilarious that prior to this video starting UA-cam recommended another one of those dodgy hair transplant ads! Wrong audience guys! You're awesome dude.
Of course the best thing is that you have lost your insecurities, but it was great to hear that you could have fun with your balding hair just as you could before it started to fall out. Great video Harry! 😌👏
Love the channel man! I literally have the same beard and balding as you! And I have to say I enjoy that look as well. It doesn’t look bad at all!!. In fact, it looks really good and the beard that fits you well man!
when I feel down I come to this channel and I love it dude.. don't change....also the vid you said " I'm out here looking straight homeless" I spit my food out...
I've been following you for years (even if I started my "baldingness" journey before you did xD). You and your videos are really fun. The experiments are hilarious. The travel videos are also interesting. Your "mission" is to be praised. Bravo!
Bro, it's all in your head (obviously not on your head). You're lookin good with each of the styles. I feel for you. You struggled with something you can't change, something you have no choice over. I say this not to bullshit or comfort you. I genuinely think you're a good lookin dude and with the confidence it was clearly visible. Also good gains man. You focused on the hair here but your physical improvement is awesome.
Brilliant video Harry youve done amazing facing your fears. I rocked the shaved look for 10 years then started wearing a cap when i couldnt be bothered shaving and then couldnt take the cap off. Eventually i got smp which iam happy with but great video and confidence mate.
@ I’m at like a Norwood 5/6 with receding, balding crown and it’s gotten quite thin towards the front which is like an island of hair. I shaved my head for three years straight, but like you’ve said I’ve kinda hit a new level of acceptance and kinda wanna grow it out for a year like you did. Go for the Rick Rubin look. Any ways man, thank you for your videos and all that you do helping guys deal with and accept male pattern baldness, it is appreciated!
The look is honestly pretty cool. It is more distinctive. A shaved head will always be clean and professional. But, having a bit of hair still lends itself well to individuality.
I'm all for this channel supporting guys who feel they have to accept their incoming baldness. You helped me so much when I shaved my head, and I think it was a necessary part of my growth as a man to surrender to that. BUT! I have my hair back now, and though I didn't feel I *needed* to after having gone through the shaving process, I prefer having hair than not. Just letting other guys know that balding is something you no longer have to accept, and you don't need to take side effect producing drugs either. Dutasteride *mesotherapy* literally has 0 side effects, only needs to be done every 1-2 months and takes 5 minutes. 0.01% concentration 1-2ml. Not medical advice.
And the best part about this video, is that not ONE single person who saw you like this out in public, remembers a thing about “that balding guy”. Goes to show we should stop caring and worrying about what others think.
This channel isn’t about being bald or not. It’s about being comfortable in your own skin. Great work mate👍
Very true
@@PaudyHourihane it’s my perception and I didn’t ask for your opinion.

No the hair looks awful. It’s thin and patchy, he should shave it off.
I agree, I just let mine grow for for a month or 2 and then just shave it again. Yeah, I am bald, but I’m not in denial.

Great idea for a channel, shaving is a choice but balding isn't. I started losing my hair in my late teens and it bothered me for many years. Finally, at the age of 44, after a really bad haircut in Phuket I decided to shave it off. Someone helped my so I never saw it until after it was all removed. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking "I can live with that" One of the best decisions I have ever made, I'll never forget the feeling of wiping a cold wet towel over my scalp in the tropical heat...bliss. A few years ago a friend sent me an advertisement for some kind of hair transplant procedure. I told him that if I was offered the best hair transplant/weave/whatever for free I would turn it down and I meant it. Cheers
Dude that look from may 2022 is awesome. The head hair and short beard look really good
you are an inspiration mate. Thanks for all your work. Giving a lot of guys a real self esteem boost and the courage to enjoy life while balding.
You’re so right about the look at 4:00. You legit look like Aristotle lmao, you’ve actually inspired me to grow out my beard and hair cause I’m trying to achieve that look now. Thank you mate
Inspiring journey, thank you for what you're doing for all men!
My favorite look was the Socrates look and the little ponytail!
This is elite level
Confidence here. You’ve forcefully escaped the stigma and embarrassment of hair loss that life puts on you.
You would be an ideal candidate for a hair transplant, your donor area where they pick the transplanted hairs from is very strong and thick. You would get a phenomenal dense hairline. But respect for you sticking to your truth and embracing your bald look. I'm 25 been dealing with hair loss since 19 and I'm starting to come around to shaving it.
Love the horseshoe bald look, with a trimmed beard. As you say yourself several times in the video, you kind of like it. So yes, that 7th month look is now my favorite, I might even go for it myself.
This dude always makes me feel good with a bald head at a young age. Thanks brother
Omg I have been itching to comment almost immediately as I started this video! I love that slicked look, I think it looks fucking AWESOME!
All the stages you lliked are all my favourite stages too, I'm so glad you are free of your invisible chains and can absolutely rock these looks!
Mate, wear it and never feel the need to shave it off!
The beard issue is the key thing here, maybe if you can some help with your skin irritations (you probably are ON IT already lol)
but the beard looks great with that growing hair 'Romaneske look'
I can't empathize enough how great this video is mate! Super inspired by your journey and so proud that you have the sheer balls to pull these looks off!
I am torn between your end look, slicked back with the beard, and the earlier look where you suddenly started to really feel the hair growth around 5+ months mark! The beard really sets it off! 👊
22:38 Limmy
Still, it looked great! Inspiring me to do the same, I am 24 and at the same norwood you're at
You know what, I think I'll attempt that philosopher look. Thanks for this video!
Cool experiment! Experiments help us grow and enrich our lives. Good on you 🤘🏼🎶💛
You can make any of those looks work, as you have the main ingredient which is confidence, and owning it, but also not hiding it.
Awesome journey man. Keep up with the great content.💪
Hahaha, the commentary along with it is fantastic. 😂 "Look at the size of the horseshoe we've got now" 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it brother. I like these look back vids
i wrote it years ago and i write it again: that grown out balding hair suits you the best, even better than ur full head of hair 🤷🏼♂️ great that you finally realized 😊💪🏻
Not gonna lie bro, there’s something chill about the hair growth look. Relaxed, cool geeza vibes 😎
Inspiring many people here to work on internal growth bro ❤️
THank you brother, your content has good heart, im always trying to grown up my bald hair, but around two or three months in i gave up, the relationship with me and my hair, its like if can not have it at maximum potential, its not worth it, but i'm slowly learning that sometimes not having the best, does not mean that is bad
Three month is an absolute solid piece of work mate 👍 that’s a very large comfort zone your should be proud of
Awesome video man . Your hair looked great all the way through in my opinion. I started shaving in my mid twenties at the first sign of thinning. I couldn’t keep my hair long with the job I had for twenty five years and I didn’t mind the buzzed head look on me . Fast forward to today in my mid 40’s, I’ve been growing it out for 2 months now and like you had said a couple times , I’m not hating it ! After this video I’m going to go at least 8 months! I’m not near as self conscious about it as I was in my twenties. Thanks for making the video brother
Harry, thank you very much for this channel, it helped a lot!
Happy to help!
I like how you have grown your hair out Harry! I grew out my hair long like yours during COVID and the lockdowns. I loved growing the hair out. I cut it off a one ago April. I love your messages about being confident and not being insecure. Greetings from Canada!
I think the bald pony tail look is really cool. I'm already having a receding hairline so if I reach the point that you are in I might try to rock that look. I think it will help you stand out from the crowd in a positive way, too many people are all copying each other and looking the same but when you do your own thing, you look uniquely yourself. I suggest a white partially buttoned up shirt with leather cuffs to really compliment that masculine care free look the pony tail gives you. Maybe add a dark necklace as well.
I think the look you had at 5:56 and 19:04 looks quite good with the beard as well. I used to be one of those people who would say just shave it of if you're balding but i changed my mind on that now. Do whatever makes you feel good.
It’s because of this channel that I took the plunge to shave my head and was very happy I did it. Now a new form of acceptance that is very inspirational. I don’t know if I can do that because I like my shaved head and easy maintenance. But you are doing so much for the balding community. I def always tell young guys going through the same thing about this channel.
You should do a BaldCafe live show and have some of your biggest transitions on there and have live music and stuff! I’d be up for it! - 6 Month on from you supporting me through my trim and I’m now shaving with the the razor and living the dream as a baldy! Your a legend mate, and videos like this are so eye opening. I’ve seen you get a fair bit of crap for not shaving the head through this process but now we see the end product its clear why. What you learned about yourself you can teach others! Well done my man!
you growing out the balding hair looks really good on you, better than all bald, it gives you personality and a cool look, I like it
When I first shaved my head and saw people with the balding look I thought to myself: „What are you doing, clinging on to those shreds?“. But you completely changed my view Harry. I even let it grow out for two months myself.
much respect for what you are doing and have done already!
I respect you so much Harry, you're a godsent!!!
Mutual respect 🫡 thanks for being a part of this
Honestly if it’s just about looks I think you look waaaay better with shaved or trimmed head BUT I understand and respect the Idea behind doing it👌😊
I’m digging the look. I'm at the point where weeks go by and I don't shave my head. The crazy thing is that it doesn't bother me like it used to. The time comes when insecurity goes away and you feel comfortable in your skin. I've been following you for a few years and I've grown with you along the way. you have my respect.
Can you get a hair system just for a video
You look great with natural hair and a not too long beard! Months 5 and 10 are my favorites. The mustache also suits you very well. You look happier with hair. I also shaved my head many years ago when I started balding. But then I thought about letting my hair grow even though it's obvious that I'm partly bald... I don't agree with that idea that all of us who are balding want to hide our baldness or are insecure or things like that, I think that on the contrary, we know that we are somewhat bald but we also like how our bald spot looks with some hairs there... regards!
I find it hilarious that prior to this video starting UA-cam recommended another one of those dodgy hair transplant ads! Wrong audience guys!
You're awesome dude.
I know dude it’s mad. They are trying to infiltrate
lovely brother youve helped me alot these past few years im grateful af to you
Of course the best thing is that you have lost your insecurities, but it was great to hear that you could have fun with your balding hair just as you could before it started to fall out. Great video Harry! 😌👏
Love the channel man! I literally have the same beard and balding as you! And I have to say I enjoy that look as well. It doesn’t look bad at all!!. In fact, it looks really good and the beard that fits you well man!
when I feel down I come to this channel and I love it dude.. don't change....also the vid you said " I'm out here looking straight homeless" I spit my food out...
I've been following you for years (even if I started my "baldingness" journey before you did xD). You and your videos are really fun. The experiments are hilarious. The travel videos are also interesting.
Your "mission" is to be praised.
Bravo!
I'm for sure doing this. Thanks for the inspiration.
I reached a point now I'm happy to be bald and just be happy being myself. Thank you for your message.
My pleasure brother 👍
Hair around 13:00-14:00 mins, where you're asking how it looks, it looks awesome! Seriously. Really cool.
You have helped so many of us. Thanks buddy!
My pleasure man. Honestly.
Damn… you’re lookin pretty Ancient Greco-Roman in some of these clips mate! 🔥
Bro, it's all in your head (obviously not on your head). You're lookin good with each of the styles. I feel for you. You struggled with something you can't change, something you have no choice over. I say this not to bullshit or comfort you. I genuinely think you're a good lookin dude and with the confidence it was clearly visible. Also good gains man. You focused on the hair here but your physical improvement is awesome.
Wait, the head shave world tour has not been forgotten!? Amazing, look forward to you resurrecting that bad boy!
"IDGAF" mentality and rocking the samurai style like a G.O.A.T.
Nice video! keep living without prejuice and shame in this field.
Brilliant video Harry youve done amazing facing your fears. I rocked the shaved look for 10 years then started wearing a cap when i couldnt be bothered shaving and then couldnt take the cap off. Eventually i got smp which iam happy with but great video and confidence mate.
Yeah man the cap is such an easy trap to fall into for real.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks mate
Glad you enjoyed it
@baldcafe I’m not gonna lie man, I think you look pretty cool around the 17-18 month mark, with the long beard and long hair.
cheers man. 👍 it was certainly a look
@ I’m at like a Norwood 5/6 with receding, balding crown and it’s gotten quite thin towards the front which is like an island of hair. I shaved my head for three years straight, but like you’ve said I’ve kinda hit a new level of acceptance and kinda wanna grow it out for a year like you did. Go for the Rick Rubin look. Any ways man, thank you for your videos and all that you do helping guys deal with and accept male pattern baldness, it is appreciated!
The look is honestly pretty cool. It is more distinctive. A shaved head will always be clean and professional. But, having a bit of hair still lends itself well to individuality.
I'm all for this channel supporting guys who feel they have to accept their incoming baldness. You helped me so much when I shaved my head, and I think it was a necessary part of my growth as a man to surrender to that.
BUT! I have my hair back now, and though I didn't feel I *needed* to after having gone through the shaving process, I prefer having hair than not. Just letting other guys know that balding is something you no longer have to accept, and you don't need to take side effect producing drugs either.
Dutasteride *mesotherapy* literally has 0 side effects, only needs to be done every 1-2 months and takes 5 minutes. 0.01% concentration 1-2ml. Not medical advice.
Good point. It's the distinction between accepting a situation and being positively proud of how you look.
Your videos helps a lot of us,keep it going
Thanks brother
Jesus, look at the physique on the guy 9:45. Thats impressive stuff 8months in. What a legend.
What a video, great work! Congratulations for your security
And the best part about this video, is that not ONE single person who saw you like this out in public, remembers a thing about “that balding guy”. Goes to show we should stop caring and worrying about what others think.
