I know this is a different kind of video... but I want to be transparent about my hair transplant. So that one day people dont have to guess if I got a hair transplant when my hair starts to grow. Anywho I hope you stick around for this journey... it'll definitely be an interesting one to see the results next year!
My mate literally got this done this week in turkey Istanbul. I told him he had to as was very anxious about his hair loss. Fair play for you being so open about it mate.
@@natefiggs you didn't? Several podcasts I listen to have talked about this offer being made to them in recent weeks and the hashtags certainly made it look like a sponsor. Fair enough if not...
I've been shaving my head for the past 20 years, and I would rather be bald than to have to go through what you did and have to take pills for the rest of my life. I do hope everything works out for you though.
I agree with the maintenance of hair. It really is a nuisance having to use monoxidle and finasteride everyday. It just comes with the territory of keeping hair. Maybe one day I’ll get sick of it and just rock the shaved look.
That's what happens when you abuse your body with Meth, overeating on junkfood and taking gear for years and years. It's just like Jason said "be careful, Nate", looks like he wasn't ony talking about Dumbo.
So brave to show everything. Proud of you for being so honest with your audience. You look amazing without, can't wait to see the transformation! Here's to a quick recovery and a boost in body positivity!!
@BLNK BLNKRSN In life people should do what they want... at the end of the day, its the persons life and no one will ever know what goes on in their head whether you think you know. If something thinks they are happy doing what they want... then fuck yeah for that person! If it doesn't make the person happy... oh well. life goes on ya know?
@BLNK BLNKRSN you sound smart, you really do but also you can’t speak for anyone but yourself. Like I said you will never know what another person is thinking. My advice is enjoy your life and don’t worry so much about what others do with theirs 😊
I started losing my hair in my late 20s. Been shaving for 15 years. I'd rather have hair but it's just the way the cards fall. Curious what the total cost was inclusive of the swank hotel and limo service. He skirted around it but I wish he was a bit more transparent on the costs. I'm sure he got a good discount for the PR.
Respect the personal decision - however, you shaved (or cut super close) and the damn near bald look was solid on you. Either way, hope everything works out!
@@FTW54 I’ll tell ya this much. Clinics in the states tend to go the conservative route versus clinics in Turkey. Like this one won’t do more than 2,000 grafts in a session. They want you to start low and work your way up so you don’t deplete your donor supply so fast like you would going overseas. Mine is booked for 2,000 grafts to restore hairline/temples
@@zolpy Yeah thats what I would be interested in going for also. So 2000 grafts is gona run 14k? Is that what you meant by 7/graft? I hope everything goes well for you, nervous at all?
It actually surprises me by reading the comments how common this is for guys. i obviously know it happens, but it seems like it's happening to so many. I can imagine the hit it takes on y'all's self esteem. Some guys really do good with bald or buzzed cut heads, but people should do whatever they want with their hair. Meanwhile my dad is 74 with a full head of hair. My family doesn't have the best genetics but I guess we are ok in that area
Nathan, thank you so much for sharing this insight into your journey! Beautiful video and very cool footage of Istanbul - loved it! But I totally empathized with your share. I’m a woman who had always had very long hair that I loved to care for and style. Then, about a year ago at age 42, I got breast cancer and had to go through 5 months of chemotherapy and lost every single hair on my head and the rest of my body. It took a very emotional toll on me because my long head hair had become such an important part of my identity and self-confidence. My hair is now finally starting to grow back after chemo but it is a completely different color/texture and will take many years to get as long as I previously had it. That’s totally okay of course, but I totally get what you said about the importance of doing what feels right and makes you feel like your best most happy self with regards to appearance. I’m grateful that you shared such an intimate look into this part f your life and I wish you a happy recovery and transition to the new hair 🥰
Within a month, all that new hair will fall out from distress. But the follicles will survive. From there, it takes months to see any results. Really, it takes a year to see the final result.
in two months my new transplanted hair will fall out and the new hair should begin to grow in. but it take 6-12 months before it starts looking normal and thick. Hope all is well man!
Thank you for the honesty. Started balding at 26 and have been shaving hair since. Plan is to go to Turkey within the next year 👌 Goodluck for your journey
Be careful man. Once you start the process, you can never go back. Do tons of research and think about the lifetime of maintenance you will have to do. Not too mention the scars. Anyway, just my opinion.
I lost my hair when I was 21. Never thought it would ever happen to me in a million years, or if it did, it would be when I was significantly older. Needless to say my confidence plummeted, I did what you did and tried to wear a hat at any given opportunity. I'm 31 now and I'm so confident with it and everyone tells me I look better with a shaven head, I genuinely think I do as well too. Looking back at it all now, I think It wasn't as bad as I thought it was and I probably made too much out of it. I think when you lose your hair for the first time it's such a shock, it's hard to deal with because you're so used to having hair and not having it makes you freak out and you think you look weird which Is 100% not the case. You've got a great shaped head and face for a shaved head. But I understand why you did the surgery and it's something all of us go through when we first start losing hair. Hoping you have a speedy recovery and thanks for sharing. Would have loved to have a video like this when I first started losing my hair.
i did a transplant in Peru,( only 5 hours fly to Lima , from MIami) was a great experience! all was done perfect, no pain at all, and paid only $ 2500 + plus blood test ( around $ 150 USD) , very happy
Lost my hair at 22 in 2010. remember looking in Mirror and seeing a old man. I tried everything to grow my hair and keep from going balder. Ive been shaving bald since 2018. I love now a good shaved smooth head. When it grows back it annoys me
HELL YEAH ITS WORTHED !!! its once in a lifetime procedure ! This will stay forever so the amount of hours on this doesn't matter and there is no shame on this when you look good, also usually when the transplant is this professional your barber will never notice nor anyone else, Please update it !!! i cant wait to see the result !!!
Watching the video I wanted to laugh because the transformation to full cookie cutter is complete. In reality though, this whole video is a sad cope to justify destructive and unhealthy behavior/mindsets/obsessions. Stop, getting tattoos and plastic surgery, NATE. Go get mental health workers to help you through your issues; instead, of publicizing your mental anguish and looking for solutions in all the wrong places. I know, this is harsh but it's reality. Good luck, NATE.
Welcome to the club bro, I am about a month ahead of you. I had 4000 grafts at Hair of Istanbul. Documenting my journey as well on UA-cam. Good luck man, by spring/summer you will be roaring back.
My son lost his hair too. He is 30 now but it started a few years ago which is surprising because i have thick wavy hair. He just shaves his head now. Speedy recovery Nate.
Women are much less likely to lose their hair due to DHT levels being safe significantly lower than a mans. That’s why men get facial hair and more body hair too. Also if your dad has a bald hair or receding hairline it’s more likely your son will have the same.
You have always been open and transparent from day one which is why I watch your content (following since the Genova days). As a bald man myself, this is super relatable. I struggle with body image and seeing videos like this helps me so much. Cheers, Nate.
bruh when you posted you were going to turkey i hoped it was for this LOL ive been hesitant myself and trying to figure out pricing for the procedure with the flight trips and stay and etc cant wait for the results!
@David Merlot safe in which categories? We are not in a war, we don’t shot tourists...there are lots of Covid-19 cases tho. People don’t pay that much attention anymore like they used to before. Public transportations can be very crowded and so on...what were you specially asking for?
I am happy for u i am from istanbul. many foreign people come here and take hairtransplant service and seeing u also made me little smily but not suprised as i said turkey is so famous about hairtransplant.I hope u get through this easily and have ur lost hairs back
@David Merlot hı David.I think İstanbul is pretty Safe.No terror attacks for many years because of turkey's syria and iraq military operation and people of Istanbul mostly like tourist very much.But like all cities there is a little possibility that u can come across with some bad people if u are not careful ,try not to go deserted areas of Istanbul if u go just incase have someone that knows the area and be careful with taxi driver some of them tries to take money more than they should.Other than that i think there is almost zero chance of risk.on the street where i stay children play till 00.00 1.00 pm midnight. those come to my mind about safety if u have question more spesific u can ask have a nice day.
Hey Nathan huge fan! As someone who is curently balding, would you suggest getting the surgery earlier in the balding phase or when the balding is extreme? I have read that going earlier will just result in having to go multiple times because the rest of your hair will fall out. Thank you so much

@@natefiggs Can you use PRP, topical minoxidil just to maintain the hair? Taking Finasteride seems to mess with the internal hormones.
Nate to be honest i been following you and your channel for over 5 years easy, I just realized this is the first time I ever seen you without a hat…
That's what happens when you abuse your body with Meth, overeating on junkfood and taking gear for years and years.

I started losing mine in my early 20’s. I’m 37 now.
Best thing you can do is own it, not let it own you.
Same!! 21 was my age when I shaved my head!
Were you able to keep it?
