My son started losing hair in his early 20s. By his late 20s he had a grandpa head (a ring of hair from ear to ear) with nothing to comb over in the middle even if he'd wanted to. Around 30, when he'd been married a few years, he went into his bathroom and shaved it all off. He's been that way ever since. He's now 54 and handsome as ever.
Hair on men is overrated. I met my husband in high school - he began losing his hair in his early 20's and he went to great lengths to try to change that. I feel bad it bothered him so much because it never bothered me. Bald men are gorgeous too. Oddly, our son still has a full head of hair at nearly 30.
Rob Reese 2 minutes ago (edited) It's so annoying and tired of listening to the people around you that says having hair transplant is a form of 'vanity'.. No, I don't think so. . The difference between Vanity and of Correction are way too much,whereas the vanity was only to enhance or add what you don't have before in your self while the Correction is simply just 'taking back in' what you've lost already like for instance a hair -of which is the symbol of Manhood's crown of confidence and dignity..
A lot of coping. Bald/balding men simply are not as desirable generally speaking. Any man with even a moderate degree of hair loss notices the difference in female attention, as I can attest to. It sucks, and there currently isn't any excellent treatment option available except for transplants. But let's not pretend that it doesn't make a big difference. Men need to be heard out on this, instead of dismissed, whichever option you go with
I think doctor Gary is very cute and he looks so natural without hair. He is so cool. And it's very psychologically comfortable and non-toxic the way he talks about this sensitive thing
My father started losing his hair young and just embraced it and has a clean head and I almost ALWAYS think men look better 100% bald than with a thinning head of hair. I hope more can embrace that!
As a woman, it is interesting to see this kind of almost dysmorphia, talking about all of his insecurities and then showing the pictures and not seeing any problem.
It absolutely is. Even worse when dysphoria also gets involved... I have been in the freeze part of the fight or flight response for years now. I consider just watching this video an absolutely huge step...
9:32 Wisdom and the reason I subscribe this channel. Not only Gary is of course a medical professional but he has an excellent grasp of human psychology as well.
A good hair transplant will definitely last a lifetime. You might not keep 100% of what was transplanted but 80% for sure if you take care of it, and are regimented with the finasteride and minoxidil treatments. Also: never do it on the cheap, and don’t do mega sessions. Better to do 3 smaller sessions over a five year period than one big one where the blood flow isn’t adequate to keep all the grafts growing.
Idk about that, I been on propecia for about 18 months before my hair transplant and 6 years after my transplant and with taking propecia as well I lose about 50% about 25% in the front and 25% in the crown. It's not a permanent solution.
@@guesswhat-chickenbutt a procedure involving 2500 grafts can cost up to 10k, but it highly depends on the surgeon. I'd rather pay 10k and have it done by someone professional than pay 6k and being 'just another client' while everything is performed by assistants
Dr. Gary you seem so realistic and caring. I wish more doctors were thorough and well spoken like you. I went 10 years without getting a diagnosis for basic small fiber neuropathy. In that time I learned that the medical profession is full of untrained, uneducated people. Maybe people that forgot their education? Not sure. I live in america, supposedly one of the greatest countries in the world. The medical system failed me and my quality of life is worse now because a bunch of the "best" neurologists in new york, philly and new jersey could not do a basic skin biopsy. A physical therapist diagnosed me and sent me to her neurologist. It's a sad state when physical therapists are better than neurologists at their job. So anyways, this is all to say that I appreciate doctors that care. Doctors that can speak clearly and concisely. Doctors that don't gaslight you. Doctors who are sensitive to people's mental struggles (like those patients who are very emotional about going bald) and I can tell you are one of those men.
Shaving very short or completely is ALWAYS better than trying to hide it. You need to rock it because trying to hide going bald oozes of insecurity. Listen guys, a toooon of men go bald, there's literally nothing to be ashamed of, though 99% of us would like to have the option to have hair. You can try to "fix" things, but until you actually succeed in it, don't hide it.
@@danlc95 What I mean is that generally people will see you as insecure and ashamed of yourself if you try to hide it. If you never think about what other people think, more power to you of course.
@@JimmyRingz but isn’t confidence doing what you want? If I want to rock a balding head why people should see me as insecure? To me is more insecure shaving every 2 days to hide the fact that you are balding
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk If you are rocking a balding head I wouldnt say you are insecure, if you have a combover, tattoo dots on your head or have a hairtransplant I would think you are insecure. I shave my balding head once a week and think nothing of it, though I would probably shave even if I wasnt balding, or have long jesus hair..
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk If you want to rock a balding head WITHOUT trying to hide it, it of course isn't insecure looking etc. Feels like you're trying to make an argument just for fun. Again, I'm of course talking about if you're trying to hide the balding.
Merry Christmas Doctor! I just had a hair transplant of 2039 grafts 2 weeks ago and your channel has helped me so much leading up to the surgery and for what to expect in the coming months. Thanks for all your helpful info☺️
Merry Christmas, Gary! Thanks so much for providing us with crucial information about hair loss throughout the year. I can easily say on behalf of most young adults you've given us solutions to approach a big insecurity most of us might face. Whether you celebrate or not, have a great day!
As a nurse I will say as tempting as it can be to have a procedure done in another country (due to the finances), if anything goes wrong, things can get really complicated…
Exactly, i know Turkey is the spot right now but daily i pray America can perfect this. I would honestly rather save and pay extra than to go overseas. Imagine if you have issues.. youl'd have to find someone in the US or head back to turkey and hope the new clinic doesn't screw up too.
Dr. Linkov, can you please make a video about your own hair regrowth journey? Would be great to see what has been done, because it’s the first time I see someone having such amazing results with alopecia ❣️ Thank you!
Got kudos from my dermatologist for asking about help with my hairline soon after I noticed it starting to recede rather than waiting until I lost enough to be unhappy with it. Hoping to keep most of what I've got because I probably wouldn't spend the cash on a transplant.
He actually looks pretty good with short hair, even after the messed up transplant. I always wondered actually if an extremely low density transplant over a large area could work, if you just keep the hair really short? Like for guys who are Norwood 5 or more
I think it really does make you look not fully bald. Might work for people who dont want the round headed balded look. Your hair will still look thin asf but the shape will look different enough.
@@neemayaz1113 I've seen older guys who have just a little really thin hair, and it actually looks alright as long as it's cut extremely short. It keeps them from getting the horseshoe shape that fully bald buys have
I find it hard to believe some men 1) refuse to accept that they need to KEEP the transplanted hair with meds, and 2) fail to understand that they need to keep the hair on the back of their head 3/8-1/2" long to cover the tiny donor punches. smdh...
Im envious of bald men since my transplant didn't take and whole back of my head is a mess of circle scars. Have had to wear a wig for 30 years. Dont mess with what God gives you. If I had just accepted baldness I would have been a much happier man today.
He should have been on some medical therapy/medication after he got the transplant to prevent any thinning hair. Prevention is key especially if you pay that much money for the procedure, you want to maintain those results.
Why would it started thinning if the frontal part was all transplanted hairs? I thought the transplanted hair are genetically predisposed not to lose no matter what.
@@rksleung that's kinda what i dont get either. i thought the follicles from the donor area are genetically not dht sensitive but what dr. linkov called it was a "dht sensitive area" which means the top of the head is dht sensitive regardless of what type of hair is there i guess?
@@neemayaz1113 I have a theory actually. I read it from somewhere. It's due to Skull Expansion. Folks that were born with a skill that is flatter on the top is locked physically to expand beyond adolescent. Folks that has slanted frontal part would try to expand beyond adolescent. That explains why hair started thinning as blood vessels was constricted with the skull expansion. The skull expansion would continue until it reaches a state when is not as slanted viewing from the side. When you transplant the hair there, it would be fine. But if you transplant hair onto area which is still undergoing skull expansion, the blood vessel would thin out and those hair would be lost as well no matter if it is dht predispoed or not.
I'm using minoxidil for about 1 year now, I can say I have never had this amount of hair in my entire life. I have been using it on my eyebrows too and it looks totally different than before, much much better! I suggest that if you started noticing something different in your hair, or even if you have always had thin hair your entire life, go to the dermatologist and start your treatment.
You're so right! The issue with the guy on this video was that he was not patient enough (or informed) to use finasteride + minoxidil for at least 18 months once he realized his hair were thinning. He may still be able to recover but he needs to give some time and maintain the regime! It progresses slowly but after 1 year mark the improvement is astonishing in a lot of cases! Also, he needs to find a good doctor, in Turkey they pretty did not educate him about how to maintain and combat his hair-loss which is always chronic in men with androgenic alopecia!
@@snakeeater80 The problem is Finesteride play with the hormone, most people will have erectile dysfunction after using it for a while, the doctor will tell you it's side effect before surgery and most people will not use it, stopping Finesteride also documented to give people suicidal tendencies too, even when they have no prior self-harm case. it's magic for hair growth but it's side effect is scary
@@cheesecake3578 My husband uses it and I know other men that uses too, surely people have different experiences but I don't think the erection dysfunction is so common, is like when you read the medicine leaflet, they always mentions horrendous side effects that most people will never experiment. Also, you can that use minoxidil, as pill or topic medicine, microneedling with it too. I don't understand how someone can travel to another country, pay a huge amount for a surgery and not visit a good dermatologist that will prescribe medication and give you the cause of your problem.
@@sinatraforeign I think that acne medicine is much worse them finasteride. Haven't heard about suicidal thoughts with its use, I know at least 3 Men ( one is my husband) that use it and are fine, also Men can use the minoxidil pill, which will improve their hair immensely, also you can use it on your beard too.
@@keo872 I don't think acne medicine is worst on males, cause Finesteride suppresses the male hormone specifically, there's a UA-cam video bout it if you search "Stop using Finesteride suicidal thoughts" but it is listed as possible side-effects in the documents.

Sometimes I complain about my hair being too thick, but I now know I take it for granted after seeing some of the struggles that people with hair loss face...
Yes. It's true for most things in life. Some people don't like that they are naturally slim. Can't gain weight. Then you see people who wish they didn't gain weight.
When i read the comments it makes me sad to think all the maintenance people have to do to hold on to their hair. Losing my hair was devastating and made me feel like i lost my idnetity. I considered a transplant but refuse to take meds in order to maintain it. The longer i left it the more i got use to it and in the end i feel like the key is acceptance. Its not the same for everyone but if your friends and family love you then its only you that needs to learn to do the same. I would love my hair back but not at the cost of my health.
Hola. Si yo fuera calvo, por que no lo soy, me haría micropigmentación. La micropigmentación hecha por un gran profesional se ve increíble y natural. Te tienes que volver a hacer un repaso cada 5 años. Es en simples palabras un tatuaje. Te dejo unos link para que los veas Saludos desde Chile
Love Baldcafe because i found them helping my own husband out with his widows peak over baldness options. Think it's important for anyone to be able to feel it's okay to say no to cosmetic medication or even pricier cosmetic surgery. Those with means, sure they can and should consider it if it means so much to look just so; but no one should ever be thought of lesser for not being bothered to cough up over being bald. Thank you for your wonderful thoughts Linkov.
Several years ago my gf at the time had an opinion on men losing their hair. She said , "better to lose your hair than a good strong hard-on". Hahahahaha! My gf had a high libido! Several years later I started to notice I am losing my hair. I remember what my ex gf said back then! Still got it! Hahahaha!
Read this before booking: I was desperate for help and stumbled upon a glossy Bloomberg video. I fell for the whole presentation and booked immediately. I later found out, Blue Magic isn’t on the ‘Top 10 clinics in Turkey’ list. I wish I had done much more research. But I flew to Istanbul in May 2022. I was picked up in a dirty van and brought to a mediocre hotel. The clinic you see in the website photos and UA-cam videos does not exist. Instead, I was brought to an empty office building with a very temporary set-up. I asked 4 people why we were in such a dingy building with mis-matched furniture. One told me they were renovating the old space, one said they have multiple offices, one said they were building a brand-new clinic and one said that this is their only space. The first person who greeted me was a sloppily dressed student - my translator. She said, “who are you?” and gave me a document to sign. The document was a release form in case of death, waiving all responsibility. It also mentioned possible extra costs. It was a very odd welcome. No champagne, no greetings. I had questions about the document. She told me to sign it, and my questions would be answered later. Four of us crammed into a tiny elevator. There were no COVID rules, no masks. We arrived in the offices - I sat on some old IKEA furniture. The “doctors” and “technicians” were all around 22-25 years old. There was no leader or manager. The main “doctor” wore jeans and was maybe 28-30. The experienced old men in white coats from the videos were nowhere to be seen. There were no staff rooms, the staff just hung out in the receptions area and looked lost and rather chaotic. There were no changing rooms, or any privacy at all. A man with a video camera was following us. The reception desk doubled as a blood centrifuge station. The receptionist worked with blood samples less than a meter from where I sat. The staff were on their phones the entire time. They had no other computers or tools. There were a few pieces of equipment scattered around. It did not feel at all like a medical facility. There was nothing hanging on the walls - only dust outlines from the previous tenants. The man beside me was given a pill for his high blood pressure. He didn’t know what it was. Him and I started nervously counting the red flags. I understand that the staff can’t all speak English, but they constantly pointed at us, talked and laughed in Turkish. That was unnerving. We were to wear our street-clothes for the surgery. We were given no gowns. When meeting with the “doctor”, I was asked all the questions I had already answered in my medical questionnaire weeks ago. He had done no preparation and didn’t have a copy or any paperwork at all. I had to inform him what procedure I was having. I told him what the team had promised me, he disagreed and told me it was not possible. I showed him the many, many photos I was sent from the sales team, he just said: Not possible. I was mis-informed about what results I could expect - and found this out in Istanbul, 10 minutes before the scheduled surgery. I had already paid the full amount for the procedure. A 400 GBP deposit and a 1844.87 GBP payment that morning. I was horrified. I decided not to do the surgery. The American man with the high blood-pressure walked out as well. Two of the four men backed out that day. The American went back 2 weeks ago. In November 2022. Same building, same conditions, same staff. He said the procedure was horribly painful and would never do it again. He said: They are just a chop-shop. Since May, the CEO’s assistant has tried to convince me to also come back. She apologized for almost everything, blamed culture differences for the rest, and thanked me for the valuable feedback. No compensation has ever been offered. Finally in November, with no progress or acceptable solutions, I decided not to go back. Too many broken promises, too much misleading information. Too many reasons to just go somewhere else. I asked multiple times for a refund. They have flat out refused. As a last resort, I threatened to leave some bad reviews. The CEO replied to may last mail on November 11 and wrote: “Unfortunately from today onwards, no one at our company will be at your disposal neither will come back to you further this last email of mine. You can proceed with all the things you listed, I am sure it will keep your life busy for a bit. But I invite you to think about something. How good this will make you as a human being for acting unfairly towards a group of people that at the end of the day, only tried to help and support? Best of luck.” Looking back, there were so many signs. The company has a “clinic” in Turkey, the employees are in Albania with, sometimes, British phone numbers. The company “headquarters” is in the UK. This means, there is no way to hold them legally accountable for anything. The messiness is intentional. My lawyer wouldn’t touch it. But caution: The sales staff are unbelievable friendly. Super polite, almost creepy. They told me exactly what I wanted to hear every time. They comforted me and assured me. They called me 'family' and guaranteed we would all be best friends. They sent 30+ before and after photos of happy clients. (I am not sure the clients are aware that their ‘before’ photos are being Whatsapped all over the world - without their consent) I never waited more than 4 hours for an answer. Until they had my money. They have “medical specialists” to answer specific questions. Although, I have a biology degree, and most of what they told me was horribly inaccurate or completely wrong. I guess most people don’t question it? My desperation for change and improvement somehow let me ignore so many things. Turkey has many clinics. Blue Magic does own any special technology. I contacted Bloomberg to ask if they know about the misrepresentation in their video. I have received no answer yet. “Too good to be true” really applies here.
Actually Dr Gary looks hot AF bald and I'm a hair challenged person myself. It just suits some people and doesn't suit others as well. The guy in the video looks great shaven too.
Bro. One hair transplant is never enough for most cases. I did 3 FUE hair transplants and had the same problem. So I bought a laser cap and been on finasteride and dutesteride. Still wasn't fully enough. You know what I did to cover to small patches in between? SMP. Scalp Micro Pigmentation. It freaken works. I ever went and did SMP on the back so that the missing grafts are now covered up. All this resulted in me going from bald looking like I have a real NATURAL full head of hair.
Same thing happened to me. Got the transplant, never used any medication. First year or two, it looked pretty good, but after that transplanted hairs have gotten thinner and so it's almost going back to the pre transplant so i shaved my head now. 4th year now and I got a good hairline which is nice and also not nasty looking donor area is also good. But with no medication i guess the transplant worked only 40 percent of what i thought i would achieve honestly.
This is something that I needed to hear! Im about to get a transplant in a few weeks. I'm NW3 and I suspect that my transplant will only look. good for 2-5 years if I don't get on the meds. I will try them once I have it done, but if they don't work for me it's really good to know that it's possible to sport a shaved look, with a decent hairline. That's my main concern. Does your hairline, whilst shaved, look natural? How short do you wear it?
@@gabrielfoskett4262 Just be careful with the clinic and the doctor you choose. Get some warranty. And use medication. At this point i know that i'm not gonna get my hair from 20 years old back. Will try some micropigmentation later. Maybe 2 more transplants.
@@posintabook597 It's supposed to be, but without medication the results won't be good. Like i said i didn't use any medication and it's been 5 years and i'm thinking of doing it again maybe 2 more times. You are aging and as you age the transplanted hairs are also getting thinner so...
“Never used any medication”? That’s probably why you lost your hair, most hair transplant clinics don’t recommend a hair transplant unless you consistently use minoxidil and finasteride. Like using both correctly and consistently will allow you to keep your hair for a lifetime
@@Vision-lz4ru Yeah it's what i'm saying. That's why people gotta choose a good clinic to do this operation. And be aware of the medicinal part of the process is as important as the actual surgery.
Did a hair transplant 5 years ago and it looked good tbf. After a few years the front started to look thinner and thinner so I gave up and shaved (3mm) my head. Yep the scar is quite visible on the back but I just decided to not give a shit.
The transplant scars I’ve seen honestly don’t look bad to me. Maybe it’s different in person but he could rock that just fine from what I’m seeing here. And he’s still got the lower hairline too which also looks good while buzzed

Can you PLEASE do a video on lacrimal gland repositioning? You are the reason I found out what’s “wrong” with my eyelids and need done to correct it! ❤
@@Chronically_JBoo My left eyelid has been giving me issues the past couple of years but definitely more so this year with it twitching or then like the muscles feel like they give out and my eyelid droops for a few seconds. I’m definitely going to Google about the gland being the cause of that.
I'm a woman and my hair is getting really thin but you mostly see it on top of my head, by the crown. And I'm incredibly self conscious about it. I'm trying nearly everything to get it back to where it was a few years ago. I haven't tried a hair transplant because it sounds so painful. Now there's this to consider. Thank you for discussing this!
Clean your diet up, look at you hormones and manage your stress and your hair will come back... The above 3 suggestions are simple but its a daunting task at the start.
It is hormonal imbalance. I was drinking milk everyday and it was the reason that triggered my hair loss. I think because of the hormones in milk which messed up my own hormones. I stopped drinking it and hair loss slowed down. But didn't stop completely
After surgery it's crucial in the first year to take care of yourself meaning eating right exercising taking natural DHT blockers using light laser helmet, DHT blocker shampoos and conditioners..
2:10 bigger picture - most doctors will never consider that, they will just recommended PRP, GFC, Minoxidil, Finasteride, or hair transplant Just by seeing you
my heart goes out to people who have to deal with this difficult problem to deal with self worth and have that tied to an unstoppable physical change I'm ~34 and I've been super lucky, we'll see, my dad was balding hard by this point
I went on Monoxidil in 2002 with phenominal results where I recovered half my losses in the crown back within 6 months. By 2014, the losses started getting more severe and even the front hairline was thinning so I went on Finasteride. That immediately thickened the crown & front hairline with really good results, but I still had to rely on hair fibers to cover the severe thinning in the crown. Then in May 2023 I got around 3200 FUE grafts. Now 1 month in, I'm probably suffering a little shock loss but I already see fuzz in the crown and front hairline so I'm hoping for a full head of hair in another 6 to 12 months. On the day I got the FUE, I switched from topical to 1.25 mg oral Monoxidil in addition to keeping up the 1 mg Finasteride. It would be stupid to stop the medication at this point and it would undo all the money and effort I put in.
@@chloel5996 I'm at 7 months now and got most of the hair filled in. I still have some growth coming to fill out the remaining and hopefully have no indication of any thin spot in the crown after a year.
I’ve been shaving my head for about 15 years now. Since I was 25. Sometimes I would love to have a full head of hair, but I just embrace it. Women love my bald head.
It's funny how the better looking people are often the most self-conscious. Just shave it dude and move on. It's gone but at least he has a good shaped skull.
I'm genuinely looking forward to losing all my hair for convinience. I started going bald as a mid teen and by 19 I had a full monk style hair loss pattern, but the sides and back remained thick. i'm in my early 30's now and finally the sides and back are receeding at a nice pace, which means I won't need to bother shaving my head anymore. I'm thankful that whatever happened to develop my mentality left me with no stress or care about the hair loss, I see so much stress about it and going through surgery to try and maintain it? I can't imagine it.
That is really good, because Doctors don't tell people the truth, they lie and hide the truth from patients, why don't just say simply most people do hair transplant will go bold again and enjoy max 5 years of hair , I did hair transplant and I balding again after 5 years, and most people I know in my town did hair transplant bold again, and if you asking doctors the answer is it could be genetic it could be lack of vitamin it could be stress it could be it could be and it could be never stops I don't understand why they are hiding the truth probably for money 💰
In my late teens, early 20s I moved from California to Miami. Because of the humidity, I always kept my head shaved or cut close. I soon began to appreciate the low maintenance and not having to spend all the money I used to, on hair products. Now that I've lost the hair years later, its a non-issue. I wish it would all fall off my head and save me the shaving time. 😅
Wtf.. i live in madafackin’ tropical island even on equator line (which means it’s 5x hotter than what the weather app told ya) it’s a low maintenance actually! You’ve been scammed by soap company! bathed 3 times a day, and only uses a shampoo only on Saturday.. i used to have a short hair till lockdown.. night and day it’s better than getting an instant stung by equator heat
Something similar happened to me, while I had hair, I really don't like any hairstyle, so i used really short (#1 or 2 with machine), I was like my hair hasn't any function. 20 years later, bold with some hair, I use the same cut. Of course I really wish to have my hair back and have the option of long hair. But on the other hand I don't suffer any depression about that, it's just the cut of always
Dr. Gary has such an interesting Slavic face, I grew up in Russia and I could immediately tell he is from a Slavic country. Also how does he make baldness look so sexy? 😭
What I enjoy most about this video is that a near hairless albino is in the business of giving hair (or at least good looking scalps) back to insecure (not meant in a negative way) men.
Doc, you da man. I love watching your vids. You seem honest, highly-qualified, and very sincere. Your voice and relaxed speaking style are reassuring, too. Keep up the great work.
His hair actually looked great. We are sometimes are our own worse critics. We will never look 19 again that was a great head of hair for the stage of life he was in.
I had a FUT took propecia for a number of years but had side affects and so stopped. My hair thinned but hopefully stabilised. It’s a hard one as I worry propecia has long term side affects and can cause other issues, but then end up with FUT scar visibility if you cut short. I have thought about going back on propecia - but now it may be too late, or have an FUE to top up and then take propecia. It is a battle. What is annoying is that surgeons don’t tell you that you will only keep it if you take the meds, they talk as if you will keep the hair as it keeps the donor properties but take on the hair loss too. Wish you were in the UK as I would have a consult with you too
Would love to see a crossover video/interview between these two. I’m an avid watcher of both Baldcafe and Dr Linkov, so would be really interesting to see an exchange between the channels
Female here, I was losing lots of hair as I got older. I changed shampoos so many times, some made it worse some better but still shedding hair. I stopped shampoo all together and use bi carb now with a bragg apple cider vinigar conditioner soak mixed with water for 3 minutes, then rince off. It took a while but my hair is soft and shiney and not falling out any more.
I realized really early on, maybe 16 or 17, looking around the table at a big family Christmas dinner where no male in my family over 30 had a full head of hair that i was going to go bald and just accepted it as fact. I enjoyed my hair while i had it and as it started to thin out i just shave my head now.
I’m similar, mothers side plenty of bald guys so knew it was coming. I’m 29 now and probably have a couple years left then will just shave it, keep my beard tidy and stay in shape. I’ve considered medication, surgery and the rest but I don’t know… it is what is
With all this stress that is coming with hair transplants , I don’t think i wanna do this anymore , i just shave it all off skin. Thanks , done , I’m deading that thought and outta here
I hope this is a message to all men watching this. Your hair is not what makes you attractive. Your personality, hygiene and how you treat your partner is.
I think bald men and semi-bald men can be very handsome especially if they have an attractive face. I think intelligence and kindness are the most important feature of a man.
My hair was thinning at 30 yrs old. Shaved my head and loved it ever since. Helps that there are a lot of attractive celebrities with shaved heads to dispel any stigma. Although I will say that some people have a head that does not look good shaved.
I've watched so many of these hair transplant react videos now and I'm convinced a hair system is the best thing for me. I always thought the transplant was the goal. not anymore. hair system here I come
Do you have any recommendations on when women should begin to take medical therapy?/if we should take it? It seems that women’s hair tends to thin later in life and I’m wondering if beginning this early can prevent that from happening? :)
Hi Dr Gary. What would suggest for those who want a hair transplant, but can’t tolerate medical therapy due to the side effects (I couldn’t sleep on Finasteride)? Many thanks in advance :)
This is one of the most badass guys I've even seen on YT. "I don't give a damn about hair, i even have my head shaved, but if you care that much, here's what you should do"
I love being completely bald. No hair care needed. No barbershops. No drying my hair after showering. Men who worry about their hair are just not confident in themselves.
I'm so glad I just decided "nothing I can do about it, if people want to judge me based on it I don't want them in my life anyway" and just shaved it when it started receding. The trouble people put themselves through for the validation of others is insane to me.
Every time youtube suggests me videos such as this is an uplifting experience. I had a huge mane when I was into rock music, down to my waist. And now, when my hair is thinning, I really don't care, nor my wife, or my children. And to see people poor so much money, and time into their insecurities is kinda making me feel better about myself. People should waste more money on regular checkups, or maybe on their gut health, and not this. Unless their work depends on it, like modeling, or hosting shows.
Agree. The medicines for hair loss are really horrible and minoxidil only prevents loss at the mid scalp. Hair transplants are expensive and if the hairs aren’t placed right it’ll look weird. Just let it fall naturally and cut it short. Men need to accept themselves as they are. By placing importance on your hair and letting it impact your confidence, men are giving themselves the recipe to be unhappy. One day they will shave their hair, transplant isn’t forever regardless what webmd says. And these men will realize none of it mattered.
My hair was also thinning for some years. So before deciding if surgery was for me, I needed to test how I would look bald. So I ended up shaving one of my testies completely bald, drew some eyes and a smile on it. Then I took a picture of it and sent it to 5 different chicks to get multiple opinions. 3 of them blocked me and the other two just put laughing emojis. I knew after that I’d need to get the surgery. So I got it six months ago. And about two weeks ago the two chicks asked how it was coming along, so I said it to take about another 6 months and it’ll look full. Then I sent them that same testie pic except the bush has been growing out for about 7 months at that point. Then they both blocked me. Point is chicks don’t know what they truly want. Get the transplant for yourself
@@Avievan91 yeah, me too, hate it even after a days growth, especially when that egg in the nest appears at the back. I won't even leave the house with a slight egg in the nest showing 😂
Everyone has the right to be insecure but as a balding guy myself I personally don't get it. To me its about confidence and I really don't think twice about my balding. I mean I dont like when it grows in and I get the runway look but I keep it short with clippers to scalp and even though i don't have the front hairline i project confidence ( i have a nicely shaped dome). I really don't think twice about it until I watch something like this. I am glad there are options for people that do feel insecure but most people dont notice it if you don't project the insecurity.
I’m in the Same boat as this man , I’m 3 years into my hair transplant and it’s thinning and falling out. I can’t take medication due to the side effects. Looks like I’m just going to have to brave the shave. It’s pointless getting another one
@@QUECHULAESPUEBLA94 yeah I’m starting to get the noticeable strip at the front though as I only had the hairline done first. But my crown is going now. So I might have to get another just to even it all out even though it all might fall out again. Otherwise Il be left with the dreaded island
My hair transplant lasted about 2 years. I don’t blame anyone as I couldn’t cope with the side effects of the meds. I look like I’m constantly still in the ugly ducklings phase so I keep in buzzed to 1mm. I thought about having a repair surgery but without meds I don’t see the point.
@@absurdistloft it’s wierd, I don’t know what I’ve done or what I’m doing but it looks better today where I’ve been transplanted to what it was last year. I think it gets to a point where it stops falling out. Or you go through phases. My crown is thinning more though, so it’s thick everywhere but the bald spot on my crown
Very interesting video. Love how this doc explains things. I was on Finpecia for a few months. It helped with thr hairloss, however i developed quite abit of brain fog. On the recommendation of my GP i went off it. Now im only on a BioTin supplement. Its also helped slow down the hairloss. Id like to find out from this doc if he would advise giving Finpecia another go? Or should i rather just go on something like Minoxidil? And is Minoxidil effective enough on its own?
I perform a lot of SMP on clients like this. They are often left with poor density that doesn’t allow them to wear their hair the way the want, so they end up Shaving. Now you often have an unnatural hairline shape due to lack of artistry and available single grafts, and scarring to contend with. With SMP we reshape the hairline making it aesthetically pleasing, give proper density and conceal the scarring.
So, unless you continue to use Fin etc even after a transplant, the transplanted hair that is taken from a location on the back of the head which is geneticly suppose to grow forever... will still die and fall out?
My understanding is not only could you lose the transplanted hair, but you'd also jeopardise the hair around it that you may have stabilised by taking fin. In other words, all hair is in peril once your off.
Had mine done about a decade ago (early-mid 20s) in Newport Beach (so cal). Couldn’t be more happy with it. My hair is still a bit light up top, but easy to maintain/manage and I don’t have to worry about it thinning out anymore. I hear a lot of horror stories; I’m thankful mine was/has been a lasting success!
I honestly think Dr. Linkov looks more handsome, powerful and interesting as a bald man than with hair. I think there are a lucky 20% of men who are like this.
Stop it please. If you seen him walking down the street you wouldn’t pay him any attention. You’re just a fan. And that’s no disrespect to the guy but y’all in the comments are full of it
I think he looks fine. Sadly he has a wife that didn't know it was important not to point out things most people won't ever pay any attention to or even ask him about. Vanity is a handicap, especially if one is male.
I agree, and the back of his head from a social viewing distance seems to look like cheap clippers failure or even an intentional "swoosh" flourish by a hairstylist. His wife is going to much closer in than others. It would be interesting to know if she is nearsighted. I hope the fellow learns of the micropigmentation correction option through Dr. Linkov's video.
It's crazy that you don't mention bloodflow to the scalp and anti oxidants and anti histamines. I stopped my hair fall ... no finasteride or creams. Just by eating better and massaging neck and reducing life stress.
I struggled extremely the past 2 years with my hair because I wouldn´t accept that it has receded a little bit although I´ve had "less hair" my whole life...but now it´s obvious. I still can style it properly when I have the right cut but I just got over it. I will just shave it off once it gets to the point of no return where things don´t make sense any more. Trying to hide this makes things just worse. Now I feel a huge relieve since I literally confessed to myself and took things like they are.
DON’T do that!!! You can still save your hair! Start immediately on a topical minoxidil and finasteride treatment and you can still save yourself! Going bald ruins your life
@@flightevolution8132 I´m already using minoxidil since June 2021, so far so good. And NO, going bald does NOT ruin your life. You ruin it by yourself by letting these thoughts overcome you, that´s it. I have family members & friends that have been bald since I can remember. Also, I´ve had already "less hair" when I met my wife the first time so it´s not a big deal regarding this. Not to mention that I´ve got a bald cut a few times in my life. It´s really not a big deal for me because it´s normal. But I can understand the struggle because I had it myself. Accepting this as a simply normal thing will save you, trust me. And you can accept this WHILE being on a hair loss prevent treatment.
I think this just further reinforces the importance of having a good, honest, and involved surgeon.
Good luck finding one
Yep. Unfortunately most of them have god complexes and see you as nothing more than a cash cow rather than a patient.

Exactly my thoughts. He still looks handsome
My son started losing hair in his early 20s. By his late 20s he had a grandpa head (a ring of hair from ear to ear) with nothing to comb over in the middle even if he'd wanted to. Around 30, when he'd been married a few years, he went into his bathroom and shaved it all off. He's been that way ever since. He's now 54 and handsome as ever.
Hair on men is overrated. I met my husband in high school - he began losing his hair in his early 20's and he went to great lengths to try to change that. I feel bad it bothered him so much because it never bothered me. Bald men are gorgeous too. Oddly, our son still has a full head of hair at nearly 30.

It's so annoying and tired of listening to the people around you that says having hair transplant is a form of 'vanity'.. No, I don't think so. . The difference between Vanity and of Correction are way too much,whereas the vanity was only to enhance or add what you don't have before in your self while the Correction is simply just 'taking back in' what you've lost already like for instance a hair -of which is the symbol of Manhood's crown of confidence and dignity..
A lot of coping. Bald/balding men simply are not as desirable generally speaking. Any man with even a moderate degree of hair loss notices the difference in female attention, as I can attest to. It sucks, and there currently isn't any excellent treatment option available except for transplants. But let's not pretend that it doesn't make a big difference. Men need to be heard out on this, instead of dismissed, whichever option you go with
Shaving almost always looks better than trying to hold on to your hair, if it's at that point where you can't cover it up.
I think doctor Gary is very cute and he looks so natural without hair. He is so cool. And it's very psychologically comfortable and non-toxic the way he talks about this sensitive thing
My father started losing his hair young and just embraced it and has a clean head and I almost ALWAYS think men look better 100% bald than with a thinning head of hair. I hope more can embrace that!
Liar

As a woman, it is interesting to see this kind of almost dysmorphia, talking about all of his insecurities and then showing the pictures and not seeing any problem.
It absolutely is. Even worse when dysphoria also gets involved... I have been in the freeze part of the fight or flight response for years now. I consider just watching this video an absolutely huge step...
9:32 Wisdom and the reason I subscribe this channel. Not only Gary is of course a medical professional but he has an excellent grasp of human psychology as well.
A good hair transplant will definitely last a lifetime. You might not keep 100% of what was transplanted but 80% for sure if you take care of it, and are regimented with the finasteride and minoxidil treatments. Also: never do it on the cheap, and don’t do mega sessions. Better to do 3 smaller sessions over a five year period than one big one where the blood flow isn’t adequate to keep all the grafts growing.
Do you have a good idea on the monetary value of what you described?
Idk about that, I been on propecia for about 18 months before my hair transplant and 6 years after my transplant and with taking propecia as well I lose about 50% about 25% in the front and 25% in the crown. It's not a permanent solution.
OR You could just accept that your bald? I really think its sad men have embraced being woman in the worst way.
@@guesswhat-chickenbutt a procedure involving 2500 grafts can cost up to 10k, but it highly depends on the surgeon. I'd rather pay 10k and have it done by someone professional than pay 6k and being 'just another client' while everything is performed by assistants
@@renes3360 If you are still losing hair it might be better to up the dose of fin or even start thinking about using dut.

@@pralayaryan Could be. But i think i would be almost no noticable if he just grew his hair a bit longer.
Gary, you are indeed right, we tend to judge ourselves more thinking about how people would perceive us..there is nothing shameful in staying bald!
This was such a chill and informative and normalising video, really enjoyed hearing this both very professional and human perspective!
Dr. Gary you seem so realistic and caring. I wish more doctors were thorough and well spoken like you. I went 10 years without getting a diagnosis for basic small fiber neuropathy. In that time I learned that the medical profession is full of untrained, uneducated people. Maybe people that forgot their education? Not sure. I live in america, supposedly one of the greatest countries in the world. The medical system failed me and my quality of life is worse now because a bunch of the "best" neurologists in new york, philly and new jersey could not do a basic skin biopsy. A physical therapist diagnosed me and sent me to her neurologist. It's a sad state when physical therapists are better than neurologists at their job.
So anyways, this is all to say that I appreciate doctors that care. Doctors that can speak clearly and concisely. Doctors that don't gaslight you. Doctors who are sensitive to people's mental struggles (like those patients who are very emotional about going bald) and I can tell you are one of those men.
Dr. Linkov is the best. He's really sincere and gives great advice
Shaving very short or completely is ALWAYS better than trying to hide it. You need to rock it because trying to hide going bald oozes of insecurity. Listen guys, a toooon of men go bald, there's literally nothing to be ashamed of, though 99% of us would like to have the option to have hair. You can try to "fix" things, but until you actually succeed in it, don't hide it.
Do whatever is comfortable.
Wether it be a rug, a hat, surgery, whatever.
If someone see you as insecure or whatever, that's their problem.
@@danlc95 What I mean is that generally people will see you as insecure and ashamed of yourself if you try to hide it. If you never think about what other people think, more power to you of course.
@@JimmyRingz but isn’t confidence doing what you want? If I want to rock a balding head why people should see me as insecure? To me is more insecure shaving every 2 days to hide the fact that you are balding
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk If you are rocking a balding head I wouldnt say you are insecure, if you have a combover, tattoo dots on your head or have a hairtransplant I would think you are insecure. I shave my balding head once a week and think nothing of it, though I would probably shave even if I wasnt balding, or have long jesus hair..
@@TetsuoTakayamaCyberpunk If you want to rock a balding head WITHOUT trying to hide it, it of course isn't insecure looking etc. Feels like you're trying to make an argument just for fun. Again, I'm of course talking about if you're trying to hide the balding.

what should i do
As a nurse I will say as tempting as it can be to have a procedure done in another country (due to the finances), if anything goes wrong, things can get really complicated…
No body wants to go overseas for hair transplant. I think most people in western countries have 30k+ for hair transplant.
Nurse salary is not that good
Exactly, i know Turkey is the spot right now but daily i pray America can perfect this. I would honestly rather save and pay extra than to go overseas. Imagine if you have issues.. youl'd have to find someone in the US or head back to turkey and hope the new clinic doesn't screw up too.
@@notapplicable3450 70k a year starting isnt bad, up most make 6 figures a few years into the career
Dr. Linkov, can you please make a video about your own hair regrowth journey? Would be great to see what has been done, because it’s the first time I see someone having such amazing results with alopecia ❣️ Thank you!

He has, on his channel
Is he getting his hair growing back or just eyebrows.?
What are he regrowing?
Didn’t realize he was regrowing anything but he’s looking very handsome!
Got kudos from my dermatologist for asking about help with my hairline soon after I noticed it starting to recede rather than waiting until I lost enough to be unhappy with it. Hoping to keep most of what I've got because I probably wouldn't spend the cash on a transplant.
Did you hop on fin?

@@Pitty212on I appreciate this comment was made long ago, but I started to get dry eye and saw there was a link in the studies.
He actually looks pretty good with short hair, even after the messed up transplant. I always wondered actually if an extremely low density transplant over a large area could work, if you just keep the hair really short? Like for guys who are Norwood 5 or more
I think it really does make you look not fully bald. Might work for people who dont want the round headed balded look. Your hair will still look thin asf but the shape will look different enough.
Hair transplant + SMP could be a solution in that case yes
whats better, completely bald or having hair but its not dense and its thinning?
@@neemayaz1113 I've seen older guys who have just a little really thin hair, and it actually looks alright as long as it's cut extremely short. It keeps them from getting the horseshoe shape that fully bald buys have
I find it hard to believe some men 1) refuse to accept that they need to KEEP the transplanted hair with meds, and 2) fail to understand that they need to keep the hair on the back of their head 3/8-1/2" long to cover the tiny donor punches. smdh...
The irony is not lost on me that one of the biggest hair transplant surgeons is bald/shaves his head
He guides people to a treasure he cannot possess.
Im envious of bald men since my transplant didn't take and whole back of my head is a mess of circle scars. Have had to wear a wig for 30 years. Dont mess with what God gives you. If I had just accepted baldness I would have been a much happier man today.
God doesn’t decide who has hair and who doesn’t.
Genes do
And nowadays transplants are much better
Not everyone is content with slowly watching their lives change without getting involved.
@@2l84me8 yes, that was me and I got screwed trying to mess with nature
I just shaved my head a month ago…Embraced change! 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻 So much less fuss, plus embracing your natural look is sexier than faux anything. 😁😎
He should have been on some medical therapy/medication after he got the transplant to prevent any thinning hair. Prevention is key especially if you pay that much money for the procedure, you want to maintain those results.
Some have been on finasteride since day, one and transplant, still failed
Not all heads can carry off the bald look but Dr Gary, have to say you make it look cool (plus the mo is a nice touch).
I remember watching the original video and as soon as he said “it started thinning”, I asked myself was he even doing anything to keep up with it?
Why would it started thinning if the frontal part was all transplanted hairs? I thought the transplanted hair are genetically predisposed not to lose no matter what.
@@rksleungI think it is because of the reason he only transplanted in the front. Rest of the hair at the top is still going to thin out
@@rksleung that's kinda what i dont get either. i thought the follicles from the donor area are genetically not dht sensitive but what dr. linkov called it was a "dht sensitive area" which means the top of the head is dht sensitive regardless of what type of hair is there i guess?
@@neemayaz1113 I have a theory actually. I read it from somewhere. It's due to Skull Expansion. Folks that were born with a skill that is flatter on the top is locked physically to expand beyond adolescent. Folks that has slanted frontal part would try to expand beyond adolescent. That explains why hair started thinning as blood vessels was constricted with the skull expansion. The skull expansion would continue until it reaches a state when is not as slanted viewing from the side. When you transplant the hair there, it would be fine. But if you transplant hair onto area which is still undergoing skull expansion, the blood vessel would thin out and those hair would be lost as well no matter if it is dht predispoed or not.
Love Bald Cafe!!! He’s doing great things over there for our folically challenged fellows! 👏🏻
I'm using minoxidil for about 1 year now, I can say I have never had this amount of hair in my entire life.
I have been using it on my eyebrows too and it looks totally different than before, much much better!
I suggest that if you started noticing something different in your hair, or even if you have always had thin hair your entire life, go to the dermatologist and start your treatment.
You're so right! The issue with the guy on this video was that he was not patient enough (or informed) to use finasteride + minoxidil for at least 18 months once he realized his hair were thinning. He may still be able to recover but he needs to give some time and maintain the regime! It progresses slowly but after 1 year mark the improvement is astonishing in a lot of cases! Also, he needs to find a good doctor, in Turkey they pretty did not educate him about how to maintain and combat his hair-loss which is always chronic in men with androgenic alopecia!
@@snakeeater80 The problem is Finesteride play with the hormone, most people will have erectile dysfunction after using it for a while, the doctor will tell you it's side effect before surgery and most people will not use it, stopping Finesteride also documented to give people suicidal tendencies too, even when they have no prior self-harm case.
it's magic for hair growth but it's side effect is scary
@@cheesecake3578 My husband uses it and I know other men that uses too, surely people have different experiences but I don't think the erection dysfunction is so common, is like when you read the medicine leaflet, they always mentions horrendous side effects that most people will never experiment.
Also, you can that use minoxidil, as pill or topic medicine, microneedling with it too.
I don't understand how someone can travel to another country, pay a huge amount for a surgery and not visit a good dermatologist that will prescribe medication and give you the cause of your problem.
@@sinatraforeign I think that acne medicine is much worse them finasteride.
Haven't heard about suicidal thoughts with its use, I know at least 3 Men ( one is my husband) that use it and are fine, also Men can use the minoxidil pill, which will improve their hair immensely, also you can use it on your beard too.
@@keo872 I don't think acne medicine is worst on males, cause Finesteride suppresses the male hormone specifically, there's a UA-cam video bout it if you search "Stop using Finesteride suicidal thoughts" but it is listed as possible side-effects in the documents.

When i read the comments it makes me sad to think all the maintenance people have to do to hold on to their hair. Losing my hair was devastating and made me feel like i lost my idnetity.

Think it's important for anyone to be able to feel it's okay to say no to cosmetic medication or even pricier cosmetic surgery. Those with means, sure they can and should consider it if it means so much to look just so; but no one should ever be thought of lesser for not being bothered to cough up over being bald. Thank you for your wonderful thoughts Linkov.
Several years ago my gf at the time had an opinion on men losing their hair. She said , "better to lose your hair than a good strong hard-on". Hahahahaha! My gf had a high libido! Several years later I started to notice I am losing my hair. I remember what my ex gf said back then! Still got it! Hahahaha!
Read this before booking:
I was desperate for help and stumbled upon a glossy Bloomberg video.
I fell for the whole presentation and booked immediately.
I later found out, Blue Magic isn’t on the ‘Top 10 clinics in Turkey’ list. I wish I had done much more research.
But I flew to Istanbul in May 2022.
I was picked up in a dirty van and brought to a mediocre hotel.
The clinic you see in the website photos and UA-cam videos does not exist. Instead, I was brought to an empty office building with a very temporary set-up. I asked 4 people why we were in such a dingy building with mis-matched furniture. One told me they were renovating the old space, one said they have multiple offices, one said they were building a brand-new clinic and one said that this is their only space.
The first person who greeted me was a sloppily dressed student - my translator. She said, “who are you?” and gave me a document to sign. The document was a release form in case of death, waiving all responsibility. It also mentioned possible extra costs. It was a very odd welcome. No champagne, no greetings. I had questions about the document. She told me to sign it, and my questions would be answered later.
Four of us crammed into a tiny elevator. There were no COVID rules, no masks.
We arrived in the offices - I sat on some old IKEA furniture. The “doctors” and “technicians” were all around 22-25 years old. There was no leader or manager. The main “doctor” wore jeans and was maybe 28-30. The experienced old men in white coats from the videos were nowhere to be seen.
There were no staff rooms, the staff just hung out in the receptions area and looked lost and rather chaotic. There were no changing rooms, or any privacy at all. A man with a video camera was following us.
The reception desk doubled as a blood centrifuge station. The receptionist worked with blood samples less than a meter from where I sat.
The staff were on their phones the entire time. They had no other computers or tools. There were a few pieces of equipment scattered around. It did not feel at all like a medical facility. There was nothing hanging on the walls - only dust outlines from the previous tenants.
The man beside me was given a pill for his high blood pressure. He didn’t know what it was. Him and I started nervously counting the red flags.
I understand that the staff can’t all speak English, but they constantly pointed at us, talked and laughed in Turkish. That was unnerving.
We were to wear our street-clothes for the surgery. We were given no gowns.
When meeting with the “doctor”, I was asked all the questions I had already answered in my medical questionnaire weeks ago. He had done no preparation and didn’t have a copy or any paperwork at all. I had to inform him what procedure I was having.
I told him what the team had promised me, he disagreed and told me it was not possible. I showed him the many, many photos I was sent from the sales team, he just said: Not possible.
I was mis-informed about what results I could expect - and found this out in Istanbul, 10 minutes before the scheduled surgery.
I had already paid the full amount for the procedure. A 400 GBP deposit and a 1844.87 GBP payment that morning.
I was horrified. I decided not to do the surgery. The American man with the high blood-pressure walked out as well. Two of the four men backed out that day.
The American went back 2 weeks ago. In November 2022. Same building, same conditions, same staff. He said the procedure was horribly painful and would never do it again. He said: They are just a chop-shop.
Since May, the CEO’s assistant has tried to convince me to also come back. She apologized for almost everything, blamed culture differences for the rest, and thanked me for the valuable feedback. No compensation has ever been offered.
Finally in November, with no progress or acceptable solutions, I decided not to go back. Too many broken promises, too much misleading information. Too many reasons to just go somewhere else.
I asked multiple times for a refund. They have flat out refused. As a last resort, I threatened to leave some bad reviews. The CEO replied to may last mail on November 11 and wrote:
“Unfortunately from today onwards, no one at our company will be at your disposal neither will come back to you further this last email of mine. You can proceed with all the things you listed, I am sure it will keep your life busy for a bit. But I invite you to think about something. How good this will make you as a human being for acting unfairly towards a group of people that at the end of the day, only tried to help and support? Best of luck.”
Looking back, there were so many signs. The company has a “clinic” in Turkey, the employees are in Albania with, sometimes, British phone numbers. The company “headquarters” is in the UK. This means, there is no way to hold them legally accountable for anything. The messiness is intentional. My lawyer wouldn’t touch it.
But caution: The sales staff are unbelievable friendly. Super polite, almost creepy. They told me exactly what I wanted to hear every time. They comforted me and assured me. They called me 'family' and guaranteed we would all be best friends. They sent 30+ before and after photos of happy clients.
(I am not sure the clients are aware that their ‘before’ photos are being Whatsapped all over the world - without their consent)
I never waited more than 4 hours for an answer. Until they had my money. They have “medical specialists” to answer specific questions. Although, I have a biology degree, and most of what they told me was horribly inaccurate or completely wrong. I guess most people don’t question it?
My desperation for change and improvement somehow let me ignore so many things.
Turkey has many clinics. Blue Magic does own any special technology.
I contacted Bloomberg to ask if they know about the misrepresentation in their video. I have received no answer yet.
“Too good to be true” really applies here.
this doctor is so chill, he could read childrens books.
Actually Dr Gary looks hot AF bald and I'm a hair challenged person myself. It just suits some people and doesn't suit others as well. The guy in the video looks great shaven too.
Bro. One hair transplant is never enough for most cases. I did 3 FUE hair transplants and had the same problem. So I bought a laser cap and been on finasteride and dutesteride. Still wasn't fully enough. You know what I did to cover to small patches in between? SMP. Scalp Micro Pigmentation. It freaken works. I ever went and did SMP on the back so that the missing grafts are now covered up. All this resulted in me going from bald looking like I have a real NATURAL full head of hair.
Yes, but you have to do smp touch ups for the rest of your life
Same thing happened to me. Got the transplant, never used any medication. First year or two, it looked pretty good, but after that transplanted hairs have gotten thinner and so it's almost going back to the pre transplant so i shaved my head now. 4th year now and I got a good hairline which is nice and also not nasty looking donor area is also good. But with no medication i guess the transplant worked only 40 percent of what i thought i would achieve honestly.
This is something that I needed to hear! Im about to get a transplant in a few weeks. I'm NW3 and I suspect that my transplant will only look. good for 2-5 years if I don't get on the meds. I will try them once I have it done, but if they don't work for me it's really good to know that it's possible to sport a shaved look, with a decent hairline. That's my main concern. Does your hairline, whilst shaved, look natural? How short do you wear it?
@@gabrielfoskett4262 Just be careful with the clinic and the doctor you choose. Get some warranty. And use medication. At this point i know that i'm not gonna get my hair from 20 years old back. Will try some micropigmentation later. Maybe 2 more transplants.
@@posintabook597 It's supposed to be, but without medication the results won't be good. Like i said i didn't use any medication and it's been 5 years and i'm thinking of doing it again maybe 2 more times. You are aging and as you age the transplanted hairs are also getting thinner so...
“Never used any medication”? That’s probably why you lost your hair, most hair transplant clinics don’t recommend a hair transplant unless you consistently use minoxidil and finasteride. Like using both correctly and consistently will allow you to keep your hair for a lifetime
@@Vision-lz4ru Yeah it's what i'm saying. That's why people gotta choose a good clinic to do this operation. And be aware of the medicinal part of the process is as important as the actual surgery.
It always amazes me how knowledgeable some doctors are.
Doc, I see you have hair coming back in. Looks great! I really had to look at the date to see where we were. 🙂
Where is his hair coming in at?😮
@@realtalk37851 eyebrows and mustache. It must be because I was watching in HD. I’m very happy to see that.
Did a hair transplant 5 years ago and it looked good tbf. After a few years the front started to look thinner and thinner so I gave up and shaved (3mm) my head. Yep the scar is quite visible on the back but I just decided to not give a shit.
The transplant scars I’ve seen honestly don’t look bad to me. Maybe it’s different in person but he could rock that just fine from what I’m seeing here. And he’s still got the lower hairline too which also looks good while buzzed

It's so annoying and tired of listening to the people around you that says having hair transplant is a form of 'vanity'.. No, I don't think so. . The difference between Vanity and of Correction are way too much,whereas the vanity was only to enhance or add what you don't have before in your self while the Correction is simply just 'taking back in' what you've lost already like for instance a hair -of which is the symbol of Manhood's crown of confidence and dignity.
He’s a very handsome man,should have just gone bald from the beginning. I’m glad he shared his story though.
Can you PLEASE do a video on lacrimal gland repositioning? You are the reason I found out what’s “wrong” with my eyelids and need done to correct it! ❤
I have a frozen/lazy eyelid
@@Chronically_JBoo can the lacrimal gland not being in the socket cause that?
@@LiveLifeMichele yes I've had other eye surgeries but never tried the lacrimal gland, ill bring it up to my eye specialist
@@Chronically_JBoo My left eyelid has been giving me issues the past couple of years but definitely more so this year with it twitching or then like the muscles feel like they give out and my eyelid droops for a few seconds. I’m definitely going to Google about the gland being the cause of that.
I was told that would help my upper eye puffiness.
Bro, men tend to overestimate their look and not underestimate it.
I'm a woman and my hair is getting really thin but you mostly see it on top of my head, by the crown. And I'm incredibly self conscious about it. I'm trying nearly everything to get it back to where it was a few years ago. I haven't tried a hair transplant because it sounds so painful. Now there's this to consider. Thank you for discussing this!
Try minoxidil, it goes in tablets and you just take 1 a day. You'll need a prescription of a dermatologist though but the medication is not harmful.
Clean your diet up, look at you hormones and manage your stress and your hair will come back... The above 3 suggestions are simple but its a daunting task at the start.
There is chance you are diabetic.
Get a transplant. I'm getting mine soon in august....best decision i coukd make
It is hormonal imbalance. I was drinking milk everyday and it was the reason that triggered my hair loss. I think because of the hormones in milk which messed up my own hormones. I stopped drinking it and hair loss slowed down. But didn't stop completely
After surgery it's crucial in the first year to take care of yourself meaning eating right exercising taking natural DHT blockers using light laser helmet, DHT blocker shampoos and conditioners..
2:10 bigger picture - most doctors will never consider that, they will just recommended PRP, GFC, Minoxidil, Finasteride, or hair transplant Just by seeing you
He looks good bald. It's like it was meant for him.
I'M BALD AND HAPPY, I'LL SHAVE MY HEAD ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK AND I'M GOOD, NO COMB HERE
my heart goes out to people who have to deal with this difficult problem
to deal with self worth and have that tied to an unstoppable physical change
I'm ~34 and I've been super lucky, we'll see, my dad was balding hard by this point
I went on Monoxidil in 2002 with phenominal results where I recovered half my losses in the crown back within 6 months. By 2014, the losses started getting more severe and even the front hairline was thinning so I went on Finasteride. That immediately thickened the crown & front hairline with really good results, but I still had to rely on hair fibers to cover the severe thinning in the crown. Then in May 2023 I got around 3200 FUE grafts. Now 1 month in, I'm probably suffering a little shock loss but I already see fuzz in the crown and front hairline so I'm hoping for a full head of hair in another 6 to 12 months.
On the day I got the FUE, I switched from topical to 1.25 mg oral Monoxidil in addition to keeping up the 1 mg Finasteride. It would be stupid to stop the medication at this point and it would undo all the money and effort I put in.
Finasteride is so bad for you, it’s ruins your sexual appetite, gives you ED and can cause prostate cancer. Just let it go man. Be happy
Hey man how's the progress been since you posted this?
progress update?
@@chloel5996 I'm at 7 months now and got most of the hair filled in. I still have some growth coming to fill out the remaining and hopefully have no indication of any thin spot in the crown after a year.
@@GeorgeOuGood for you man! how old are you and where did you get transplant?
I’ve been shaving my head for about 15 years now. Since I was 25. Sometimes I would love to have a full head of hair, but I just embrace it. Women love my bald head.
It's funny how the better looking people are often the most self-conscious. Just shave it dude and move on. It's gone but at least he has a good shaped skull.
I'm genuinely looking forward to losing all my hair for convinience.
I started going bald as a mid teen and by 19 I had a full monk style hair loss pattern, but the sides and back remained thick.
i'm in my early 30's now and finally the sides and back are receeding at a nice pace, which means I won't need to bother shaving my head anymore.
I'm thankful that whatever happened to develop my mentality left me with no stress or care about the hair loss, I see so much stress about it and going through surgery to try and maintain it? I can't imagine it.
That is really good, because Doctors don't tell people the truth, they lie and hide the truth from patients, why don't just say simply most people do hair transplant will go bold again and enjoy max 5 years of hair , I did hair transplant and I balding again after 5 years, and most people I know in my town did hair transplant bold again, and if you asking doctors the answer is it could be genetic it could be lack of vitamin it could be stress it could be it could be and it could be never stops I don't understand why they are hiding the truth probably for money 💰
In my late teens, early 20s I moved from California to Miami. Because of the humidity, I always kept my head shaved or cut close. I soon began to appreciate the low maintenance and not having to spend all the money I used to, on hair products.
Now that I've lost the hair years later, its a non-issue. I wish it would all fall off my head and save me the shaving time. 😅
Bro! I’m out
Wtf.. i live in madafackin’ tropical island even on equator line (which means it’s 5x hotter than what the weather app told ya)
it’s a low maintenance actually! You’ve been scammed by soap company! bathed 3 times a day, and only uses a shampoo only on Saturday..
i used to have a short hair till lockdown.. night and day
it’s better than getting an instant stung by equator heat
Something similar happened to me, while I had hair, I really don't like any hairstyle, so i used really short (#1 or 2 with machine), I was like my hair hasn't any function. 20 years later, bold with some hair, I use the same cut. Of course I really wish to have my hair back and have the option of long hair. But on the other hand I don't suffer any depression about that, it's just the cut of always
Your eyebrows and moustache are looking really good.
Hi babe
You give off such a calm assured demeanour, love the content
I love this guy. I would go bald on purpose just to let him heal me.
Dr. Gary has such an interesting Slavic face, I grew up in Russia and I could immediately tell he is from a Slavic country. Also how does he make baldness look so sexy? 😭
THE REAL QUESTION IS DID YOU TAKE THE VAXX OR BOOSTERS???
MANY HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM LOSS OF HAIR TO LOSS OF LIFE. CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
What I enjoy most about this video is that a near hairless albino is in the business of giving hair (or at least good looking scalps) back to insecure (not meant in a negative way) men.
Doc, you da man. I love watching your vids. You seem honest, highly-qualified, and very sincere. Your voice and relaxed speaking style are reassuring, too. Keep up the great work.
His hair actually looked great. We are sometimes are our own worse critics. We will never look 19 again that was a great head of hair for the stage of life he was in.
I had a FUT took propecia for a number of years but had side affects and so stopped. My hair thinned but hopefully stabilised. It’s a hard one as I worry propecia has long term side affects and can cause other issues, but then end up with FUT scar visibility if you cut short. I have thought about going back on propecia - but now it may be too late, or have an FUE to top up and then take propecia. It is a battle. What is annoying is that surgeons don’t tell you that you will only keep it if you take the meds, they talk as if you will keep the hair as it keeps the donor properties but take on the hair loss too. Wish you were in the UK as I would have a consult with you too
Did consider FUE into my FUT scar too - but don’t know how well that works and hides the scar
What were the side effects?
Would love to see a crossover video/interview between these two. I’m an avid watcher of both Baldcafe and Dr Linkov, so would be really interesting to see an exchange between the channels
It’s always amazed me how a man has such a full thick beard and brows like this guy does but has a problem with hair loss on his head.
Would you date a bald man?
@@DUES_EX It’s not about how much hair someone has or doesn’t have, it’s the whole person that matters to me. Your hair does not define who you are.
@@kimbaker4352 Just curious. Name a bald man you think is attractive?
@@DUES_EX Bruce Willis was always great looking with or without hair, Jason Stratham
Female here, I was losing lots of hair as I got older. I changed shampoos so many times, some made it worse some better but still shedding hair. I stopped shampoo all together and use bi carb now with a bragg apple cider vinigar conditioner soak mixed with water for 3 minutes, then rince off. It took a while but my hair is soft and shiney and not falling out any more.
I realized really early on, maybe 16 or 17, looking around the table at a big family Christmas dinner where no male in my family over 30 had a full head of hair that i was going to go bald and just accepted it as fact. I enjoyed my hair while i had it and as it started to thin out i just shave my head now.
How old are you?
I’m similar, mothers side plenty of bald guys so knew it was coming. I’m 29 now and probably have a couple years left then will just shave it, keep my beard tidy and stay in shape. I’ve considered medication, surgery and the rest but I don’t know… it is what is
With all this stress that is coming with hair transplants , I don’t think i wanna do this anymore , i just shave it all off skin. Thanks , done , I’m deading that thought and outta here
I hope this is a message to all men watching this. Your hair is not what makes you attractive. Your personality, hygiene and how you treat your partner is.
Your body, your bank account and your status is and obviously your face.
Stop lying to men for once in your life.
Totally wrong. Going bald destroys your attractiveness. Stop lying to men, you’re ruining lives with your terrible cope filled nonsense
Facts !
You would date a bald man?
Can’t get a partner if u don’t have hair…
I think bald men and semi-bald men can be very handsome especially if they have an attractive face. I think intelligence and kindness are the most important feature of a man.
seeing an hair transplant expert who himself is completely bald is really ironic :)
My hair was thinning at 30 yrs old. Shaved my head and loved it ever since. Helps that there are a lot of attractive celebrities with shaved heads to dispel any stigma. Although I will say that some people have a head that does not look good shaved.
Hair is overrated, just hit the gym and be confident. No need to hide who you are to impress others. ✌️
Unfortunately, women prefer hair over muscles
I've watched so many of these hair transplant react videos now and I'm convinced a hair system is the best thing for me. I always thought the transplant was the goal. not anymore. hair system here I come
Do you have any recommendations on when women should begin to take medical therapy?/if we should take it? It seems that women’s hair tends to thin later in life and I’m wondering if beginning this early can prevent that from happening? :)
Dont take finasterid as a woman though. Male and female hair is very different.
If your hair is thin in your 20s even - start then. Henna,massages,microneedling,minoxidil, mesotherapy, refraining from heavy extensions and so on.
@@bealmador Yes considering female's dont have prostates and finasteride is prostate medication
He's very handsome. Very masculine. He showed have confidence in himself.
Hi Dr Gary. What would suggest for those who want a hair transplant, but can’t tolerate medical therapy due to the side effects (I couldn’t sleep on Finasteride)? Many thanks in advance :)
This is one of the most badass guys I've even seen on YT. "I don't give a damn about hair, i even have my head shaved, but if you care that much, here's what you should do"
I love being completely bald. No hair care needed. No barbershops. No drying my hair after showering. Men who worry about their hair are just not confident in themselves.
I'm so glad I just decided "nothing I can do about it, if people want to judge me based on it I don't want them in my life anyway" and just shaved it when it started receding. The trouble people put themselves through for the validation of others is insane to me.
Every time youtube suggests me videos such as this is an uplifting experience. I had a huge mane when I was into rock music, down to my waist. And now, when my hair is thinning, I really don't care, nor my wife, or my children. And to see people poor so much money, and time into their insecurities is kinda making me feel better about myself. People should waste more money on regular checkups, or maybe on their gut health, and not this. Unless their work depends on it, like modeling, or hosting shows.
Agree. The medicines for hair loss are really horrible and minoxidil only prevents loss at the mid scalp. Hair transplants are expensive and if the hairs aren’t placed right it’ll look weird. Just let it fall naturally and cut it short. Men need to accept themselves as they are. By placing importance on your hair and letting it impact your confidence, men are giving themselves the recipe to be unhappy. One day they will shave their hair, transplant isn’t forever regardless what webmd says. And these men will realize none of it mattered.
Sometimes it’s better to accept hair loss. The more you focus on it the more obsessive you get and there’s no end.
My hair was also thinning for some years. So before deciding if surgery was for me, I needed to test how I would look bald. So I ended up shaving one of my testies completely bald, drew some eyes and a smile on it. Then I took a picture of it and sent it to 5 different chicks to get multiple opinions. 3 of them blocked me and the other two just put laughing emojis. I knew after that I’d need to get the surgery. So I got it six months ago. And about two weeks ago the two chicks asked how it was coming along, so I said it to take about another 6 months and it’ll look full. Then I sent them that same testie pic except the bush has been growing out for about 7 months at that point. Then they both blocked me. Point is chicks don’t know what they truly want. Get the transplant for yourself
I'm extremely humbled by Steve Irungu Jermaine
I started losing my hair at 24, so I buzzed it , 20years on now I close shave my head ! Acceptance is everything !

Happy Holidays Dr. Gary! ❤
Nope! YOur still gonna look like George Costanza 😂
Everyone has the right to be insecure but as a balding guy myself I personally don't get it. To me its about confidence and I really don't think twice about my balding. I mean I dont like when it grows in and I get the runway look but I keep it short with clippers to scalp and even though i don't have the front hairline i project confidence ( i have a nicely shaped dome). I really don't think twice about it until I watch something like this. I am glad there are options for people that do feel insecure but most people dont notice it if you don't project the insecurity.
I’m in the Same boat as this man , I’m 3 years into my hair transplant and it’s thinning and falling out. I can’t take medication due to the side effects. Looks like I’m just going to have to brave the shave. It’s pointless getting another one
Mate a shaved head Is a great look especially if you can grow a beard
I am in the same boat as well as this man , after 3 years getting a hair transplant my hair has fallen and the one I have it’s thinner ..😭.
@@QUECHULAESPUEBLA94 yeah I’m starting to get the noticeable strip at the front though as I only had the hairline done first. But my crown is going now. So I might have to get another just to even it all out even though it all might fall out again. Otherwise Il be left with the dreaded island
My hair transplant lasted about 2 years. I don’t blame anyone as I couldn’t cope with the side effects of the meds. I look like I’m constantly still in the ugly ducklings phase so I keep in buzzed to 1mm. I thought about having a repair surgery but without meds I don’t see the point.
@@absurdistloft it’s wierd, I don’t know what I’ve done or what I’m doing but it looks better today where I’ve been transplanted to what it was last year. I think it gets to a point where it stops falling out. Or you go through phases. My crown is thinning more though, so it’s thick everywhere but the bald spot on my crown
Very interesting video. Love how this doc explains things. I was on Finpecia for a few months. It helped with thr hairloss, however i developed quite abit of brain fog. On the recommendation of my GP i went off it. Now im only on a BioTin supplement. Its also helped slow down the hairloss.
Id like to find out from this doc if he would advise giving Finpecia another go? Or should i rather just go on something like Minoxidil? And is Minoxidil effective enough on its own?
I perform a lot of SMP on clients like this. They are often left with poor density that doesn’t allow them to wear their hair the way the want, so they end up
Shaving. Now you often have an unnatural hairline shape due to lack of artistry and available single grafts, and scarring to contend with. With SMP we reshape the hairline making it aesthetically pleasing, give proper density and conceal the scarring.
He looks better without hair. He's so hot.
Wouldn't have minded getting it done but definitely not taking chemicals the rest of my life to retain hair. I will continue to shave my head proudly.
I had fut and my hair is still thining now I'm worse off hair loss drugs are horrible topical I use and its not nice
So, unless you continue to use Fin etc even after a transplant, the transplanted hair that is taken from a location on the back of the head which is geneticly suppose to grow forever... will still die and fall out?
My understanding is not only could you lose the transplanted hair, but you'd also jeopardise the hair around it that you may have stabilised by taking fin. In other words, all hair is in peril once your off.
Not many people look good with their head shaved but this guy looks really good !!! Stick to the shaved look dude !!!
Had mine done about a decade ago (early-mid 20s) in Newport Beach (so cal). Couldn’t be more happy with it. My hair is still a bit light up top, but easy to maintain/manage and I don’t have to worry about it thinning out anymore. I hear a lot of horror stories; I’m thankful mine was/has been a lasting success!

I honestly think Dr. Linkov looks more handsome, powerful and interesting as a bald man than with hair. I think there are a lucky 20% of men who are like this.

I agree, and the back of his head from a social viewing distance seems to look like cheap clippers failure or even an intentional "swoosh" flourish by a hairstylist. His wife is going to much closer in than others. It would be interesting to know if she is nearsighted. I hope the fellow learns of the micropigmentation correction option through Dr. Linkov's video.

It's crazy that you don't mention bloodflow to the scalp and anti oxidants and anti histamines.
I stopped my hair fall ... no finasteride or creams.
Just by eating better and massaging neck and reducing life stress.
Dr . gray you look so uninterested in hair at this point… you look good with a clean head and face ❤
I struggled extremely the past 2 years with my hair because I wouldn´t accept that it has receded a little bit although I´ve had "less hair" my whole life...but now it´s obvious. I still can style it properly when I have the right cut but I just got over it. I will just shave it off once it gets to the point of no return where things don´t make sense any more. Trying to hide this makes things just worse. Now I feel a huge relieve since I literally confessed to myself and took things like they are.
DON’T do that!!! You can still save your hair! Start immediately on a topical minoxidil and finasteride treatment and you can still save yourself! Going bald ruins your life
@@flightevolution8132 I´m already using minoxidil since June 2021, so far so good.
And NO, going bald does NOT ruin your life. You ruin it by yourself by letting these thoughts overcome you, that´s it. I have family members & friends that have been bald since I can remember. Also, I´ve had already "less hair" when I met my wife the first time so it´s not a big deal regarding this. Not to mention that I´ve got a bald cut a few times in my life. It´s really not a big deal for me because it´s normal.
But I can understand the struggle because I had it myself. Accepting this as a simply normal thing will save you, trust me. And you can accept this WHILE being on a hair loss prevent treatment.
How did you get over it please
