    When going bald and losing your hair it is easy to get into a situation where you feel out of control and aren't sure where to begin in dealing with it. You might be in two minds, should you shave it off or shouldn't you? For some having an open mind to one day shaving off that thin hair and knowing that it is a genuine option for you, one that you could take at any time, can be enough to regain that control. Knowing that you can make that decision at any point can help you realise that there is no set time to go for it. Its all about how you feel. For some just getting it done and out of the way is the best option. For others knowing that one day that can and will shave off their balding hair, can settle the hair loss situation a while longer and allow them to enjoy what they have for as long as they have it.

    Quite a tough one to verbalise but I hope this advice can help. As we know its not at all about how much hair you physically have left on your head. Perhaps for some guys just knowing that one day they genuinely can shave it off (meaning they might not have entertained that option but now they know they actually could) might allow them to forget about it for a while and then transition into actually shaving the thin hair off with relative ease. Thanks for watching guys 👍 Much love.

      I can tell you my opinion:
      Sometimes when you realize that your hair have some thinning hair somewhere in the head you get paranoic, and you think that baldness is causing your hair to not satisfy your look.
      I thought that when i realzed that my right temple have less hair and some thinning. Than i watched that there where some people with hair worser than mine with a way better looking haircut, so i understood that my hair look problem was not related to HL, but due to an haircut that not meets my tastes. So i went to the hairdresser and asked him for an advic. He made me a shorter hairstyle which fits perfectly my head and I love it.
      So yes, I have some hairloss but still lot of good hair, so I choose just not to care about hairloss. Until my hair look cool and I like them I won't care about hairloss. If somedays It will be a problem I just will shave them off.
      But for now i sugest you, go to do a good haircut and enjoy your hair.

    31 and no sign of thinning or recession as of yet. But I still love to watch these videos for their positivity and support. Mainly bc one, there are very few platforms that are focused on support and help (of any kind) with men as the primary focus. And two, I like knowing that if the day ever comes that there are plenty of others there with me and I'll have a place to go to for help.

  • @nickwilsonxc

    I tormented myself with the same thoughts you’re having for 7 years. I then shaved my head for a few months last summer and I remember looking at pictures from 3-5 years ago, thinking “Wow I had a full head of hair back then. I can’t believe I spent all that time worrying about going bald.” Even during the time I was shaving my head bald I still had dates here and there, neighbor girls crushing on me, and nobody really seemed to give a shit about my lack of hair except me. I ended up growing it back out and decided to stop being so damn self conscious from that point on. Plus after having been bald for a few months and getting used to it, I knew that option would always be on the table and once I decided to pick up the razor again that everything would be fine and life would go on. Just appreciate what you have while you have it. Right now it doesn’t look like your hairline has receded much at all and you still have a nice full head of hair. Just enjoy what you have while you have it. Be happy. Stop wearing hats for insecurity reasons. You have nothing to hide. Style your hair more. Even try new hairstyles. Now I really am going through male patterned baldness and these are the things that I know that I will miss. So enjoy what you have while you have it and be happy. You look good my friend. If I could go back 5-7 years and give myself some advice in regards to male pattern baldness this is what I would tell myself. Unfortunately I can’t do that, but that’s why I tell all the other young men I can who are worried. Don’t be. Love what you have while you have it. And when you decide that you think you’d look better completely bald, you can shave it and life will go on. Hope this helps somebody. You’re not alone brothers. 🤙🏼 Thanks to Baldcafe for really pushing this movement forward. You’ve done as much if not more for this movement than any celebrity has and I take my hat off to you sir.

      @HiddenFormula 4 роки тому +1

      Same experience here, couldn't agree any more with your advice.. Shaving for me was great in that it made me realise that life goes on as normal without hair so it alleviated a lot of fear about MPB, but soon after I also realised that I still have plenty of hair and may as well enjoy it, so now I keep it longer, even though it's receded. I will return to the shaved head at some point, but I don't see the point in rushing it right now...I think deep down a man knows when it's time to properly embrace the bald look.

    Don’t always think if you start receding, you’re going bald. I remember a mate of mine said, ‘Christ you’re receding, by the time you get to 25 you’ll be bald!!!!! I remember being really conscious and worried about this, but hey ho, I’m now 50, and have the same hairline!! I hope this makes some men a bit more positive! 👍 ps if you are going bald, just shave it off! I don’t think there’s as much of a stigma, as it was in the 70s,80s., or 90s. A shaved head is a good look! 👊

    I also still have quite a bit of hair growing, except the very top of my scalp (i´m 27 btw.). I knew that it´s going to become worse with time since i was a teen, as my grandfather went bald in his early 30s. So after considering and joking about it with friends and family for years, i decided to go completely bald last august. I found a great barber with whom i consulted and he was probably just enthusiastic about it as i was. I went with a razor shave right away, just to push my decision through. Now, half a year later... i must say that i never felt better about my head =). I also decied to grow my beard, as i always liked long beards and again : never felt better. I think we often overthink balding and precieve it as something bad, but after going bald i found myself noticing so many bald man around me (in Berlin), which i never noticed before. So give it a go guys! Most man look better without hair anyway ;)

  • @Claymorekeks
    @Claymorekeks 4 роки тому +21

    Thank you so much for this channel. My receiding hairline is not as visible the ones of most of the guys in your videos. Nevertheless i felt super selfaware and could not stand looking into the mirror.
    My bigest enemy was the wind so i wore my hat almost 24/7. My girlfriend didn't mind and told me my hair looks perfectly fine, but because this negative feeling gnawed on me i simply could not but think that she is saying it only to make me feel better (which I appreciate ofc). I watched a lot of your videos and saw that most of the guys look a lot better, in my opinion, after they shaved their head. So last week i decided to go for a 3 mm cut. I KNOW 3 mm is not actually bald, but most people i encountered so far see it as being bald. I got a few compliments that i look more masculin, mature(i am 22 years old) and a lot better, while some others say that they liked my look with longer hair more. Of course at first people were shocked by such a drastic change, but overall I get the feeling i did the right thing. I will def. try the "no hair at all" look, but for now i will keep it very short.
    The only thing that annoys me is the fact, that some people think it is funny to joke about me being a Nazi, since i am german. But that is a thing i simply can't change.
    I can finally go out and not worry about wether it is windy or if my hair is positioned perfectly. And most important, i got a lot of my confidence back!

I actually took a similar approach going for a very short cut first and then quickly changing to a 0 all over once I realized that actually the short hair was a pretty sweet look and the not having to worry about it falling out was even better 👌 keep doing your thing man and forget those that make snide comments. They are doing it because your confidence and security in yourself is uncomfortable for them and their own insecurities. Show compassion to those people and rock on ✊

    If hair loss is just a receding hairline, without a lower density of hair, I think any short hairstyle is a right solution (short buzzcut, HNT, shaved head...).

    I think this a great position to be in, you've noticed it early and have time to decide. You can choose to treat it or experiment with shaving to see if you like it. Medications are great if you catch it early but there is a small chance of side effects, but taking a pill is very easy. Shaving is probably very liberating especially if you're at the point where you are doing comb-overs but as someone who hates shaving I'd personally find it annoying but you don't have to worry about side effects. Each have their pros and cons but this guy has the time to explore his options and see what works for him

I saw these videos, said fuck it, made some before pics where it showed my thinning really badly (hair combed straight up, hair was quite long) and went to the barber and took most of it off. Now rocking the quite-short hair, grown accustomed to it, and probably going for the 1/2 guard next shave. Don't have the best facial hair at 20 but I'm experimenting with the growth. The experience has been really positive. Thanks baldcafe!

    Hey Harry, are you still experimenting with shaving with a DE razor? I have also had trouble with shaving my head with one (I had the Merkur 34C) and it wouldn't shave close enough and found it painful, but I can't afford cartridge razors so I kept seeking, and I realised that you can get adjustable DE razors and that since my hair is super course and thick (My hairloss is still mild-ish) my original DE razor was simply not aggressive enough, so after lot's of research I bought myself the Merkur Futur, it's considered one of the best adjustable De razors on the market, had my first head shave with it today and it worked so much better! perhaps you also just need a more aggressive DE razor to get a smooth shave and you can stop buying the plastic cartridge razors, I think the Merkur Futur is seriously worth trying, I hope you read this!!

As I got older I learned to accept that there is no "standard" for hairlines/shapes, but I do now wonder more often when/if my hairline will go farther back to the point where I should just do away with it all together.

    I don't know why guys worry about receding hairlines. It's more normal to experience some temple recession in young adulthood than not, and anything up to nw3 it looks perfectly fine with most haircuts and a lot of men stabalize around that point for a long time. It's the overall thinning on top that means that it's probably time to shave, but when it's just receding and the rest of your hair is still healthy, I say just leave it and enjoy it while you can.
    Sometimes I think the current young generation are WAY to fixated on having perfect hair, to the point where this all or nothing mentality takes over. Back in the 70s a receding hairline was a complete non-issue.
