Many guys all over the world will experience hair loss and balding in their early 20's. For me I first noticed I was going bald and losing my hair at 25.
Fortunately it didn't take me long to realise that acceptance was the only real way to get over losing my hair once and for all.
For Andre Agassi the transition from epic mullet and "Image is everything" to a happy and successful bald guy who shaves his head took years.
We can learn a lot by looking at this example of a young successful guy going bald and I hope it gives confidence to other guys out there who may be struggling with going bald.

Sometimes it takes a little while for people to realize that their true worth comes from what's inside your head, not from what's on top of it!
Ricochet Jack 100% it can take a while but what a beautiful feeling that realization is.
Yeah and not only time, but suffering.
Played in a rock band and my hair was a huge part of my identity. Been struggling with losing my hair recently and finally shaved it. Your videos helped me.
Pleased to hear it man and happy for you 👏 Its such a better feeling once its been dealt with.
Same here bro! Hair metal image! Ended up shaving my head! Now we all wear wigs when we play! For a laugh!!!
Same here man! Metal band played lead guitar.... hairs a big deal, still play now, just no hair lol
Joe Satriani is bald and a great Guitar player , Phill Collins is bald and was and still a good musician and famous , etc everything is in people's minds.
Good Video. I started losing my Hair at 19 years of age. I shaved my head one summer when I was 20 in 1985 and back then was made fun of and had all sorts of jokes. So back then it was not an accepted thing plus I wanted hair because you are only young once. Then in 1986 made the biggest mistake of my life and had surgery- Transplants. Long story short from 1986 to 1993 I had all sorts of Surgeries from Punch Grafts, Scalp Reductions, Flaps and strip surgery. The Flap surgery disfigured me for a lifetime. Now I could not go back to bald because I looked like a burn victim. Wore wigs for 14 years which were awful because you cannot keep them on without a ton of glue. I did go to the Gym, Swam in the Ocean but you always have to be in private afterwards to reglue the dam thing back on or Else it feels like a wet bandaid. If you can do what you do and somehow accept it you are better off. Surgery even to day has risks. I get very jealous when I see these guys who are very bald and get these great results but I was not one of them. Now I have had 12 corrective surgeries and have a thin look which is ok but not the best. Will most likely have one more surgery because I can not shave my head because of the. scarring. In fact I have to keep my hair longer for Camouflage. The sad part though and I hope you do not experience what I am gong through now is I cannot even say " Well when I was young I had nice hair". I did at age 16 but by 19 it was obvious I was going to be bald. So in other words for me at least it is not easier and I am 54. I still want that thick head of hair I use to have. It will never happen but you are correct it is a big deal for many people. Hair does something to frame the face and when it is gone sadly the confidence goes too. However there are some guys who have thick heads of hair and have no confidence either. So good video and your message is good for many however Baldness is not a one size fits all. Some will still do a comb over, wear wigs, have transplants or go bald but never truly accept it. One has to do what is best for themselves and no person should be made fun of this condition. It is a devastating thing and people with full heads of hair do not understand and many are Mean spirited. Keep up the Good work and Message!
Beautiful story mate ❤️hair is not everything
Very good video, made me think about life and that hair is not everything.
João Maciel Thank you 🙏Glad you enjoyed it. It makes you think right! Best of luck to you man.
Great video man, love the channel. I started losing my hair in early to mid 20’s, ended up mostly bald by 30. I’ve gotten used to not having hair for the most part but I think we all have moments where we miss having hair. Keep up the hard work.
What I learned from this video is: if you're really going bald, let people know once and for all, or you'll end up been asked to take your cap off during an interview. 🤣
Seriously, this channel is amazing!!!
It’s happening this weekend, bro! Got my clippers and the confidence to use them. Haha. Can’t tell you enough how much your channel has helped me deal. We feel alone handling the stress of balding so thanks for helping me feel like I’ve got some support! Much love to my bald (and almost bald) brothers out there. You got this!
Sand N Surf This is awesome man. You have to let us know how it goes. Go kill it!
I've always liked and admired Andre Agassi - big reason being (among other reasons) that he had the guts to shave his head.
the moment you decide its not worth hanging on to hair and just shave it, its the most liberating feeling ever. I was afraid that people would make fun of me, and of course it happens sometimes but usually its stupid people that call me egghead or whatever, for the most part its not as bad as I tought it would be. Have a sense of humor about it, becuase sooner or later people are going to comment on your look, specially when stupid people are pissed off at you, or are jealous of you, the first thing that they´re going to bring up is your shaved head. Humor shows youre confident and carefree, people respect that.
Juan Pablo oh most definitely. And they usually say something when they see you rocking confidently what they think should be a weakness for you. When they see you going about your day undeterred it makes people feel uncomfortable. Especially if they are dealing with their own insecurities.
Just shave it bro
What a fantastic video! A great story, including a rude interviewer, a joke with Federer and a positive change in his life.
Thanks!
Thank you for watching 🤝 Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your help. Just done it today, merci encore!
Great video! It sure is tough for a balding superstar. There's no place to hide
Very painful experience for him, I totally understand that.. the more famous and the more spotlight on your life, the more anxiety hair loss will bring. The good thing is he eventually succumb and embraced the change and like an adult shave things off, get rid off the cap and go out there.. thanks for the video, this was a good example for us ordinary guys that thankfully not much spotlight in our lives
Glad you enjoyed it. It was nice to see that after all the years of struggling with it he could still be bald and very happy.
Nice informative video!
Thanks Baldecafe.
Please do more videos like this! They're so interesting to me.
kakarotting I’ll have a good look into a few more caste study’s and out something together. See what we can learn from it. Any suggestions then let me know 👍
Great video! I think it was a very freeing moment for Andre when he decided to get rid of the ponytail.
His performance improved as well.
1995 was one of his best years on the tour and it was the first season that he played without his hair-piece.
Great video. Agassi is my favourite athlete of all time.
Another amazing video 👏🏻
Excellent video....very inspiring & motivating......greatttt
Amazing Book! One of my favs
MrRc000 Need to read it for sure 📖
Excellent vid.
I'm going bald.... and I was struggling with it, until I got to your videos. After feeling motivated by your liberating speech, I finally decided to go for it and I've recently got a buzz cut, I'm also letting my beard grow so I can play with it a little bit and maybe get a nice beard cut. I'm getting ready to shave my head, just waiting for my HeadBlade Moto to arrive. Thank you, brother, your work is very important, liberating and motivating! We, the worldwide balding men, do appreciate your work pretty much! Keep going!
Thank you so much man. Really glad you found the content and that it helped. Even more pleased to hear you took that step and can move on from balding for good! Congratulations man. much respect
Robd1 replies bald cafe says he is 27 .. but it’s very hard to believe .. my guess is he must be between 35 and 38 .. even with bald head .. it’s not hard to figure out a person’s age approximately ..
Indian mindset is very shallow .. Bald men are looked down upon ..
Great video man, we all research and know the main bald guys, it’s good to find a more obscure guy to add to the list.
TheCoverCove I agree. Inspiring bald guys from all walks only life these days 👍
He had a brilliant quip at Wimbledon back in mid-90s.
He said “It makes me more aerodynamic!” 👍🏻🇬🇧
cool video! great example
Monsieur Baldy Thank you 🙏 Happy you enjoyed it 👍
very good video , its about you and who you are not the hair .
Great video. Keep it up.
Paul Burger Thanks man 👍 will keep pressing on 😃
Inspiring.
Bald Men Looks Older, It seems that the Youth is partially in the hair.
"balding" is what makes you look older , a clean shaven head can give you a reasonable youthful look that's why if i ever went beyond the NW2/2.5 state that i'm in right now i'll go completly with bald look and probably do the scalp micropigmentation yoiu goitta work with what you have.
you can't tell me that 40 years old massari doesn't look youthful

@@pczone7641 Yes. Micropigmentation is very useful, The guy in the picture looks young and fashionable. It Is a great solution for bald guys...
Bullshit you look younger when you shave your head.
Oh yeah, a young face in his 20s with a bald scalp looks older than a 45 year old face with a full hair scalp, yeah right!
Your Videos are really an inspiration. I have a long hair right now and I don't care if Im gonna shave it off one day, I'm 28 and I don't have sign of getting bald though but getting tired of my long hair so I might cut it short again.
Great video mate. Really well put together and very comforting indeed. That transition is a bastard and so much time is wasted allowing it to consume us. It’s the best, and only advice to all in a similar situation; just shave it off and get back to living for the things that matter.
Thank you man glad you enjoyed the watch. I feel like I'm going to need to have you on my podcast you know. For some reason your story has always stuck in my mind.
Baldcafe Well I’d be honoured to help in some way mate. I believe you have my email - let me know what you have in mind.
Andre Agassi , seems a top bloke !
Your awesome, I really like your content, I myself am debating to shave my hair bald 👨🦲, it’s just matter of time
Love Andre. Great for tennis!!!
I saw the hairweave that he wore in process (not on him) it can be a painful process. I read his book and he was scared out of his mind with loosing his hair.
Russell Bogrett I think I should read his book. Was I correct in my assumptions?
@@Baldcafe yes. Brooke Shields who was married to him wrote in her book that he was insanely obsessed with his hair. So much so he used to cry over it.
Russell Bogrett damn that’s real
Awesome video...I went through all of that same exact journey.. .save yourself time and money and just shave it
I feel that the less shallow you are the easier you are going to embrace baldness. If appearance is your main forte, it will be difficult
I think that is part of it for sure. How much value you put into your looks rather than character etc.
Unfortunately that goes for most of the population today
Society makes us overvalue our appearance, possibly because we believe that our primary value/purpose in our life is to be attractive and validated by the opposite sex. Theres much more to life than that, our character, stewardship, and good will have much more impact on the world and that is what we should be judged on.
You doing great man btw seems like small beard suits you more well just a suggestion but obviously it’s your choice
Can you do Zidane, Robben or Henry's hair loss?
Wesley Sneijder 😂
Wayne Rooney
@@cropunisher5879 urgh that dude, his ex-wife pushed him to get hair plugs and doesn't even look good
I read his book (Andre Agassi) and it is a very interesting read! In his eyes he looks really 'upset' when he was asked to 'remove his cap'! I guess when you are famous for having this 'image' for long hair it would really rock your world going bald at the start ( I can understand that!) But he looks amazing bald and younger, handsome. He looks at peace with himself now and much happier! :)
Agreed. For sure he would have felt such relief to have finally dealt with it.
Life finds a way 🎉
Until I was in my early 50s, I used to have really long hair. Middle of my back length. When I moved to Arizona, I cut it all off. Been sporting a buzz cut for the past 8 years. I love it. It's so liberating. Virtually no maintenance. Just run the razor every couple weeks across my head and that's it. I can still grow a full head of hair if I wanted to. But I have absolutely no desire to. Plus, I look at least 10 years younger without it.
The idea of a international tennis player wearing a wig is like a Hollywood comedy script, pure comedy gold, but unbelievable!
It was actually wife no. 1, beautiful Broke Shields who convinced him to ditch the wig and shave his head.
He in return, helped her gain loving autonomy with her codependent problems with her alcoholic mother. They probably helped each other emotionally as much as they could before divorcing and continue their own paths forging even healthier relationships.
Out of curiosity, what camera do you use for this content making?
McEnroe cert' didn't have Agassi's (now gone) long streaks! Grey now/Different story, but Alan Shearer seemed to go bald/shaven headed overnight! Forgot Agassi is now tbh (can relate.👍)
great video, from a tennis fan. check out another current pro tennis player Adrian Mannarino, he was losing his hair and started balding it a few years back, and he looks killer!
I am 23 just shaved yesterday, feeling better than ever
Do Michael Jordan next.
LoneWolf Thanks for the suggestion 👍
I am 69 years old and here is my perspective... Men concern themselves with their looks. This subject could go into shaving chest hair, tattoos, etc. As for the scalp specifically, I really don't see much difference between a guy who wants to maintain the hair-mane look when compared to the guy who tries to look good with a shaved head/-goatee combination, for example. The objective is the same. I grant that Agassi went over the line and became obsessed but that was likely at least partially for financial considerations.
I remember seeing Gianluca Vialli with a big fuzzy hairdo and a big bald patch at the back. When he shaved his head in later years he looked a lot better.
As for Agassi, anyone who ends up married to Steffi Graf has got to be happy.
Andre Agassi looked way way better bald. He had the facial features and seemed a lot more confident. I've buzzed mine down and chop and change from a 0.8 to a 0 and enjoy having no hair and I'd say I'm a Norwood 1/2. Being bald is a good look for many
David Rhys Roberts no he doesn’t
A lot of people think celebrities are immune from insecurities and life issues. He looks great with a shaved head & he is at peace as you can see with him smiling. Image is fleeting in life so basing your self esteem by how you look is never a great thing. When i was younger i thought me building muscles would solve my issues with women and life, I did that and nothing changed so now imma be 27 at the end of this month & i know as cliche as it is that confidence trumps everything.
JKnowledge it was great to see that he turned it all around
Hey big fan of yours what do you think of scalp micro pigmentation could you make a video on this subject or say what you think was thinking about this but to be honest a don’t really think it makes much of a difference
I agree. Ive got an interview with an SMP guy coming very soon.
Hey guys, I recently shaved my head for the first time, and I am loving it! My next hurdle is seeing most of my extended family for the first time since shaving it off. I know they are going to say "what happened to your hair" and I am not looking forward to it.
Any advice on how to respond or joke ideas to get around this awkwardness would be appreciated.
If you want to make a video about this my man. That would be great too.
Jim Spisto That’s fantastic man well done. Check out this video for some advice. ua-cam.com/video/jXUhYdqTrLM/v-deo.html Your best option is to own it and be 100% honest about it. Tell them “my hair was falling out, I didn’t want to hold onto that insecurity like so many do. I grasped my many nuts, said F this and just shaved it off and now I rock a shaved head and I love it”
Believe in what you say and your honesty. There is nothing anyone can say that can hurt you that way.
@@BaldcafeThat video addressed exactly what I was talking about. Thanks dude.
I could see Agassi was wearing a wig at The French Open, tied on with a headband.
He bagged Steffi with no hair....I call that a result.
and Brooke Shields knew of his wig.
Really? She isn't very attractive. Compared to Brooke Shields, she is ugly.
I 36 years old still have my hair i thinning litte bit i can nide it but i lucky age i am my dad went bald mid 40s i end up same .
Andre Agassi won Wimbledon in 1992 wearing a long blond wig
But it's amazing how Silvestre Stallone and other still have hair after having a transplant
i am your subcriber.. what do u think about scalp micropigmentation. should i go for it
No. But let me know what questions you have about it.
His hairstyle made his sex appeal ! The girls were jubilant when he arrived on Tour !
Some women don't like bald guys, so I understand Andre feeling bad at the time.
Rafa Nadal have alopecia, Andy Murray have MPB, Roger Federer have received hairline and he own it very well.
All great lads I hope they deal with it well 👍
Do one on micheal jordan
one question if you don't mind. You had this sea salt spray wavy hairstyle and I wanna know how you did that and which product u used.
I wanna achieve the same look :D
Do work yeah it was just salt spray by Swarzkopf got2B beach matte. Get out the shower. Towel dry lightly, spray in the salt spray and let the hair dry naturally. I was inspired by that look after a day swimming in the sea. I got out and my hair dried naturally with the wind and salt water and it looked epic.
@@Baldcafe honestly dude you are a huge inspiration I don't have any issues with m hair but I came across your channel and I just love your personality . Keep up
Thank you man, I appreciate that 🙏
5:03 you can see he got very annoyed and tried maintaining his composure.
Agassi actually shaved his head in 1995 and two years after went to 141 in the world and was doing meth. I think it was more than just the hair, I think it was losing his identity and hating tennis. The transformation to success took some time after the shaved head but he hit rock bottom after he shaved his head.
Yes. Even when losing his hair he still managed to win US Open 94 and then win the next Grand Slam (Australian 95) after shaving his head. Loads of problems after that eg wife, coach issues and he was never the most disciplined player mainly relying on his stratospheric talent. However, the video is correct in that he clearly did struggle with the threat to his image and confidence
Now you need to do video about rafael nadal who's been balding for years but still refuses to shave it off
Someone mentioned his already had two transplants, who would have thunk. I thought it was his natural ratty hair. He would look better buzzed.
as sad as it sounds, Andre was the only balding hero out there when i started losing my hair and shaving it.
Bro! Make a vídeo about Rafael Nadal. Hes going bald as well. Plis and thank u
I think he had a hair transplant. He doesn’t seem to be balding recently
I read in Agassi's book Open he was only 15-16 already losing his hair. Rafael Nadal is another player whom admits he had a hair transplant in 2016 and looks like he recently had a second one
Yeah super young to start losing it but not uncommon. He ended up happy and without hair in the end which is the main take away point really.
@@Baldcafe you are very spot on mr james. I'm still in denial taking it off permanently upstairs. I keep shaving my head for a short period then keep growing it back. After watching one of your videos where you showed a pic of a hair cut you tried which was high up like a military cut.... looks exactly the same atm 😫
I started losing it at 17, I'm 20 now.
@@alexstefanmmaThat is because you people dont take care of your hair. Most people eat junk food, dont oil their hair.
I may never ever be comfortable with the idea of hairloss. I'm 28 and it already started happening. I'll do anything to hold on to them for as long as possible.
Never say never man. I felt the same at one point. Regardless, good luck with the journey
Hey baldcafe, i'm a bald 6'1 man who lifts weights a lot, i get told all the time i look good but i'm 27 and i wear a hat all the time, i struggle in situations where i have to go hat free, I shave my head bald and part of me accepts it but ive always had a bit of anxiety even before i went bald, can you give me any advice? Thanks
Hey man. This is a tough one but honestly I think in this situation you'd have to go all out to get over it. For a start. Stop believing the stories in your head that you look bad or you will look bad without the hat. You are tall, handsome and healthy as people are literally telling you. The next time you go out just leave the damn hat at home. Force yourself not to wear it for a day. You will be very pleasantly surprised at A. the lack of reaction from others and B. probably a few people close to you saying "Thank goodness you got rid of the hat" Just go for it man there is nothing to fear. That hat has become part of you probably. Leave it at home 👍
Why be normal when you can be like the one and only caped baldy, Saitama!!
Ah a fellow anime fan sweet
It took me a while to know this reference
Dan how tall are you ?
His autobiography is great. Recommend reading.
great read. i think he had other problems than being bald lol.....he still dropped ranking after losing the 95 us open final and took 2-3 years to get back to top ten
The bald look suits him better than the long hair even if it wasnt thinning.
My fav mathematician David Hilbert is bald
Started losing my hair at 19. At age 23 I started wearing a hairpiece. Lasted about a year. It was a nightmare. Weaved into my existing hair...very uncomfortable. One day I cut it off and shaved my head. Best thing I have ever done.
The point is that if you are famous,and rich like andre agassi,zidane,jordan, the rock johnson etc etc etc, you dont have to worry about hair loss,or not in the way like"normal" people like us do,they are successful in their jobs,millonaires and can get any woman that they want, even if they are bald or whatever.That is the sad truth.
Vince Carter?
Where can i see the full interview of andre and the akward moment.
Pakistani singer Naeem Abbas roofi gave this message in the year 1995 . So he was ahead of everyone in this regard.
If he was so insecure about going bald, you would have thought with all his money he could have done a hair transplant with a top with the best clinic, rather than wearing a wig. You could tell it was a sensitive issue for him. At least he got over it and is happy with a shaved head, Must be so much harder for a public personality
"Image is everything"; ok, but the image isn't only hair, I mean, he is a tennist and a person, not only hair. Like, the hair isn't powerful enough to sustain his image. It's just a small thing. It should be. If it's a big big thing, that only shows how superficial the person was
In context the "Image is everything" was an ad for a camera company so it's just something he had to say.
Brooke Shields helped him. I think Andre was used at a young age, he was the face of tennis in the early 80s and 90s. Agassi is a good person.
Lebron and Nadal are in the same boat 🚤
Life's too short
As three days ago i started to use Minoxidill in the affected area and soon i will tell if i have a good effect, this may day 3.
Good luck
Wow just look at a difference that a clean bald head does..at 6:09 he looks old and bald as hell and at 2:55 he looks fresh asf
Barry Ramírez he looks happy ay
Baldcafe he just looks fresh and happy and I kinda thinks it looks cool
Some people look extra good being bald.....the problem is for those who do not look good bald...
Some people look good, some people look extra good. Reality is we all look different, we all have our + and - you just have to make the most of the +'s and forget the -'s just not worth worrying about.
@@Baldcafe
Any videos with wide set bald heads (i.e. round, square, lightbulb head shapes)? All guys I've seen from your channel so far have phenomenal head shapes.
Wish I lost mine at 20. I started losing hair at like 14 lol
I can still grow hair, but not enough that I would want to keep it and walk around like that. So yes I am bald, by choice
It is what it is, can't do anything about the genetics you're given in life haha
@@omarthecupoftea7224 I have tried minoxidil and finasteride. Results are not guaranteed for absolutely everyone.
Also even if I wanted a hair transplant most people that do it would want me to be older than I am currently to get it done
@@omarthecupoftea7224 21. There are some places that will do it at 21 but everywhere around me really wants you to be 25.

Yeah, how you think rod Stewart losing his hair. Is all about the image.
his volatile relationship with Brooke Shields probably escalated that hair loss lol
you seem to have quite alot of hair follicles on top of your head, if it was grown out and inch or two i womder what it would look like?
I'm going to be growing it out for 1 week maybe 2 this month. Videos coming very soon.
@@Baldcafe looking foward to seeing it
Let’s talk John Travolta next.
Justin Case yeah I think I should put one together of his hair journey I guess. I’ll have to dig deeper. I did do a short one on him when he shaved for the first time.
Justin Case ua-cam.com/video/F4wcZnulVNs/v-deo.html
Looks better and younger! Travolta!
Nadal is next.
Balding at 19..pain
that was messed up to put him on the spot like that. Low blow move by the interviewer.
Could it be that hair is blocking our true potential? Once a great tennis player shaves his head, does he become even greater? I think so. ;-)
Similar to women going grey
