    Just for some background info on my experience: My hair began to thin when I was a teenager. It was gradual and not too extreme but it was pretty clear that I was going to lose more hair over time. By my early 20s it was noticeable enough for people to comment on it, which started to get to me. One week while my wife was away, I decided spontaneously that I wanted to shave my head. I was feeling pretty low at the time about myself. That first shaving experience was ridiculous - I didn't have an electric trimmer so I used scissors and then safety razors to get rid of it. It took hours and I'd get bored shaving one section so I'd switch to another part of my head after a while, meaning I looked like I had caught mange. I was about 70% done when my wife called me from work. I tried to surprise her with what I had done but she GUESSED it on the phone! Luckily, she loved my new look. I've been bald ever since. Though one other funny thing about my experience -- I shaved my head on a Wednesday. When I went into work on Thursday, my coworkers thought a strange man had broken into the office. Well, I am strange, there's no doubt about that, but they realized who I was and then I became a popular topic of discussion. These days, I see a lot more bald guys than I did back then. It's nice to know I started a trend. (Okay, I know I didn't start it, but I was an early pioneer!).

      You were lucky that you have a magnificently shaped head. If I shaved my head, I'd look like a lumpy potato.

      My experience is similar. Started thinning in late teens. At age 29 or so, I shaved it all off. I shave my head every other day.

      I had a pretty bad case of Alopecia Areata after going through a very stressful time at work and then being made redundant. The two things combined created a cycle of depression and I was on anti-depressants for nearly a year. I was staying indoors as much as I could and wore hats to hide it for a long time.
      I lost over half my hair to it so one day I took an electric shaver to what was left (I didn't tell my wife until I did it).
      Eventually it started to grow back as white baby fluff hair and then back to normal. It took around 18 months. I'm in my mid-30s now, slowly going naturally grey now and starting to get male pattern baldness.
      It is amazing the psychological affect of losing your hair can cause. I think especially when it is not in a naturally expected pattern (mine was mostly random and almost all of the right side was gone whilst most of the left remained) Many thought I had cancer. It is something out of the ordinary so you get many strange looks. I travel a lot for work, and in one of my trips to the US I remember the border security asking me to remove my hat, seeing what I was hiding and quickly asking me to put it back on again.
      Maybe hair loss should not be such a taboo that it appears to be. I felt like people saw it is a real physical deformity.

      I was getting called "baldy" when I had a full mop aged 18. A few years ago when I was 19 I had one of my student friends sort out the first round of shaving and I've enjoyed the smooth, silky sheen of taking it razor-close ever since. I'm generally okay with it now, but occasionally I'll see a hairstyle I like and get sad. To be honest though, it was never much use when I had it.
      I like the effect it has - it's like saying "my hair didn't break up with me, I broke up with my hair." When it grows out, I'm always convinced it looks to other people like I've just not noticed.
      It's definitely a good time to be bald. The Statham-Willis phenomenon, as I've taken to calling it, almost certainly contributes to how much more comfortable I am in all my shiny glory. And I also make women, children, elderly people and ethnic minorities that little bit more nervous in the street. PLUS it's advantageous for green screens!!

      i don't know if i'm losing hair or i am just going paranoid, i always think that i am losing hair ,however everybody is telling that i am not , because when i cut my hair i notice""in the mirror ""that there is a spot in the back of my head, the barber told me that this is called the hair whirlpool,which means this is where the hair splits up, but it looks a little bit big to me , it looks like baldness, for the record , i've been expecting my hair to fall four years ago, but my hair still looks good, it's a bloody paranoia!

    My hair started thinning at 25 when I was unhealthy and overweight. After I went Paleo and cut out all processed food, I noticed a reduction in thinning. Mind you, I'm still loosing my hair, not drastically, but evenly. I actually look younger than before, so I've come to terms with the inevitable.

  • @Mazikeen2904
    @Mazikeen2904 9 років тому +21

    If I had the money I would pour it into research to halt and reverse balding. I absolutely hate the fact I'm going bald. I despise people who say "Oh just shave it all off" I've tried the shaved head look and I don't have the facial structure or the head shape to pull it off, I just look ill. I don't even have the "tough guy" image to pull it off. The worst thing is, if a company were to find a cure they would charge the fucking earth for it because they know so many people would try it. I wouldn't care so much if I was in my 50's or 60's and going bald, but I'm only 32, and I feel so horrifically self conscious because I used to have really thick hair when I was younger. It's always the people with a full head of hair who say "you're just being stupid about it" It's all right for them, they still have their hair and can't even comprehend how bad going bald can make a man or woman feel

      Fatih Bilkil Hair transplant is still far to much to me. I know it costs like £2000+ to get one. I really do not have that amount of money, and can't pay that and be able to actually live day to day life These companies know that men and women are desperate to get back a full head of hair and will charge a huge amount of money to "cure" it.

    • @Mazikeen2904
      @Mazikeen2904 9 років тому +3

      The conclusion is it fucking sucks no matter what age you start loosing your hair. I stand by what I said about the people who say "you shouldn't worry about it, just shave it off" etc etc. They have a full head of hair and haven't got a frickin clue how it feels!!!

    Going bald in college has been really tough on me, I have a v shaped hairline where the v is basically turning into an island. BUT..... it's important to remember that you can still have plenty of good qualities even with no hair. I still don't have much trouble with girls and now I'm motivated to work out more and improve my other qualities. Don't let this shit bring you down fellas, it will work itself out. If you shave your head it will look weird at first but do you honestly think it will still bother you after a year? two years? ten years?

    Though the women on my maternal side all have incredibly thick hair so I'm hoping that's helping me out.
    When my dad was in his early 20s he stayed out on the beach for too long one day and badly burnt his legs. His skin completely healed but the end result was that all the hair below his knees fell out and never grew back.
    Women would kill for those legs :D

  • @TMBTM
    @TMBTM 9 років тому +2

    I'm 39, started losing my hair around 17, shave my head for about 10 years cause I'm totaly bald (honestly I find myself good looking with a shaved head, so it's all good for me), AND I just stopped smoking cigarettes 1 month and a half ago and I actualy have some new hair growing back! (I smoked for 15 years). And believe me, when you're totaly bald you notice right away when new hair are growing, lol.
    Okay, I don't think it's gonna regrow to the point that I can stop shaving my head, most people did not notice it anyway because it's a few regrow and I shave my head once a week (and I'm not sure the same effect can be seen on everyone, as everyone is different) BUT it shows how bad smoking is for your hair (as well as bad food by the way). It prevents blood circulation and oxygen to go to the extremities of your body, incuding your scalp (the skin of my scalp feels thicker and a bit moist now, when it was thin and dry before)

    • @TMBTM
      @TMBTM 8 років тому

      ***** This is not what I said. I started loosing my hair at 17, yeah, but smoking only accelerated the process when I started to smoke more, around age 25. I'm pretty sure that without cigarettes (and eating better) I would have slowed the bading process a lot. But not totaly stopped it. I'm happy this makes you laugh though... even if the goal of my comment was more a cautionary tale than a joke. And oh, it's been few months now. And it is now a bit more noticeable that I have some regrowth. It does not change my look (I would need thousands of new hair for this and it will not happen) but there are definitely new hairs growing where it was bald before.

      Look to your mother's side of the family to see whether you may have inherited genes for balding. Those genes are passed down on the X chromosome, so you would've gotten them from her. If her brothers or father went bald early, you may have the same genes. A good haircut can help!

Only option is to go on drugs which I was never keen to do or in the future spend a ton of money on a transplant which most likely scar my head and possibly fail. I'd be out of pocket too. I said fuck it I'm shaving my head, couldn't stand this horse shoe on my head. But my head shape isn't ideal, I've got a lil ridge in the middle. So it was pretty much a double whammy. I went through an awkward stage during my teenage years now after escaping that I had to deal with a fucking receding hairline. Life isn't fair and I know this but sometimes i get really down about it. Maybe it's time I try the drugs

    I regrowed hair naturaly by focusing on 3 things: 1)Reducing(remocing) DHT from my skalp 2)Improwing blood flow on hair 3)patience. In bald spots i now have "baby hair" and babies grow, so i have that going well for me. If enough people is interested i can make blog or YT tutorial about it...

    • @filip1234ize
      @filip1234ize 8 років тому

      I started with few days of body cleenup by specific food (you can find these cleanups on net by body detoxing). It is important because you need to remove all DHT to start, because DHT is blocking your hair like stone block grass. When you get hormone balance back (reset it with detox) you should eat healthier food on daily basic.
      2) you eat more of witamin b and iron and use exercises to make your blood flow into follicles. But if you don't get rid of DHT it will be like within for plant to grow under a rock.

    In my opinion balding is a natural thing, everyone looses more hairs as they get older, so we should all appreciate every single hair, cuz no matter how much you have your hair is yours and its beautiful, so you should style it n cut it in anyway you like, and remember to keep your hair natural, no treatments for balding etc, your natural hair is beautiful so you should be proud of it no matter if its 50000 strands or even a few strands or even 1 hair, its yours n its gorgeous so use it style it cut it etc! I will style n keep my hair how I like even if I'm losing hair as I'm getting older cuz its my natural lovely hair, btw I like to keep long hair with an undercut, no treatments just natural lovely hair, that's mine!

  • @mygbroisaking6205
    @mygbroisaking6205 Рік тому

    so from my current level of understanding: if u lost more hair then u grow ur balding
    means that if ur growth hormons get less by 20% then the avrge u are gonna get bald 20% faster
    and the growth hormon needs
    fasting( like the famouse ramadan one, it has many types btw, the rule is u dont eat or drink until the maghrib time but what happens afterwards can be left to ur talent like not drinking actual water for 2 more hours or not eating but just breaking the fastong until sohor before the fajer time and many examples u may choose) why fasting?
    fasting is unique by the matter of only eating once per day or betwen very few hours once a day and that helps your body to get more space to keep producing energie via burning fat and if u eat a single bite u will u ruine the cyrcle so u either eat or dont u dont eat betwen the time of dinner and lunch as example or dont eat 4 hours before u sleep
    and fasting is the perfect example, thus it helps ur growth hormons to be more prodective
    number 2 : training, no matter what u think training trigers ur body to the fact that: hey there ur kinda weaker then as perfect as possible and the proof to it is the fact that u lost 30%of ur energie in few minutes u better build stronger muscle
    or in other ways: a setudied and very well perfomed methode of breaking helps a lot in rebuilding, if u break the only part u want to replace building will be more focused in that area
    and thus training from 20 to 30% of ur max power,reps ,time and stamina everyday will alway be better then training to the max once per 4 days because if u do that ur growth hormons will focuse more at healing then growing and building and thus not as high growth hormons as possible
    and since hair loss is literaly losing more then growing it means that somone who takes a better care and acurate growth will age slower and will save his hair
    not only will he age slower he will be the closest to as perfect as possible then the rest
    and belive me such a hyperthetical as perfect as possible body can smow down aging for houders of years, of course it only slows the effect no the time of death however living healthly is better then porly

    Early to mid 20s for me I suppose but I just keep a low crew cut. I don't try to hide it. My brother (2 years older) has the same hairline but is also balding on top/in back but his hair is longer and thin so it looks bad, pretty much a comb-over. I'd just shave mine off but I have a bump that's been there for years and it would look bad on an otherwise bald head.

    I'm 28 and luckily it's not too bad yet that I can't hide it, it's not too noticeable. Actually I think my brother, who's 2 years younger, might be a bit worse. Or maybe it's just that his hair is shorter right now. I really don't like the shaved look so I will hide it as long as I can.

    My dad is bald. And I've always heard about "you get baldness genes from you mother", tbh this is what's always I have been clinging on since no one on my mom's side is bald(although one of them have started thinning hair, but it's probably just due to age, he's 50+). But I've also heard that this is not really true.....so is it or is it not? And in your case, which parent had a family history of mpb?

    • @91Muzzle
      @91Muzzle 7 років тому

      Research is still ongoing, and not sure exactly what causes it. The mother's side seems to play a major role though, for a key gene that causes MPB is located on the X chromosome. But research indicates that the father's genes play some role too. But as I said, they don't really not as of now.
      In my case both my grandpa (mother's side) and my dad were/are bald. I lost my hair at the age of 20. My brother (older) on the other hand has perfect hair.

I had alot of dandruff and lost alot of hair. I panicked and stopped drinking coffe and began drinking alot more water to stay hydrated. But the hair didn't stop falling out. It helped a little bit, but not entirely.
    I cut my hair a bit short and began applying coconut oil on my hair. And Presto !!
    After 2 months of doing this, my hair stopped falling out.

    OK, so I'm nowhere near baldness (for now), but something worries me. My mom has straight hair and my dad has curly, and I was born with my mother's genes for hair, but around puberty my hair started going wavy (not curly). Also my dad is currently 54, meaning that he's balding for the past 8 years. So my question is, whose genes will I have after reaching 30?

    • @BrainStuffShow
      @BrainStuffShow  8 років тому +2

      +Mindevous It's hard to say how your parents' genes will manifest in you, but look to your mother's dad for clues about whether you'll start balding. The gene for balding is only on the X chromosome that men inherit from their mothers.

    • @davidmunoz1745
      @davidmunoz1745 8 років тому

      Chill, by your comment it sure is genetic, and it can affect you differently from your father it's not going to be the same always but all hope is not lost, take my case for example my dad is bald since the day I was born, both grandparents too, I have 3 brothers me being the younger 2 of them lost hair and of curse as I suspected me too not only that I started those hair since I was like 15 by 18 it was pretty obvious that I was losing my hair shampoos and remedies doesn't help, you know what I did? Went to a dermatologist, easy as that, he gave a special shampoo (pretty specific not the kind you're going to see on TV) and prescribed mg of Proscar, this one being actually a prostate medicine with a 5mg presentation but also helps with the hair with a reduced doses of just 1 mg? The result? I'm close to 26 and have more hair than when I was 18 not a single side effect, the "bad news" is that you need to keep taking the little pill and using the shampoo like, forever hahaha, if you stop your hair will start to fall again but it's actually pretty cheap and is no big deal I get enough pills for 6 months and a shampoo for 6 months too for less than 70 bucks, you can even stop taking the pills for like 2 months and start taking them again, just ask your dermatologist, trust me do it as fast as you can, if you hesitate you could lose hair and not getting it back even after taking the pills, I waited until I was like 19 to go and I lost hair that I cannot her back, it's like, your hair starts to get thinner then it stops growing and a little time after that the folicul dies if that happens you cannot get it back, but as long as the folicul is still there you can get a full natural and pretty hair of you do what the dermatologist tells you, don't lose time!

      @BrainStuffShow  8 років тому +1

      +himanshu rana It's probably your genes. Hair is colored because of melanin, which is a pigment that's produced by special cells (melanocytes) in our skin. As we age, the stem cells that grow melanocytes start dying off. It's a completely natural thing that happens to just about everybody, but researchers aren't sure why it happens. (Except for a few medical conditions, like autoimmune disorders, in which your cells aren't receiving as many nutrients as they should. But you'd probably already realize if you had one of those. Smoking may also lead to your melanocytes dying off.)

My right temple has receded quite significantly, I actually have a very thick, and full head of hair. It's just my right temple... it's gotten worst ever since I've noticed it. Initially I thought it was due to stress (had to sit 18 exams in 1 week), but its been a year and a half since then and it has gotten worst.... I don't mind balding, if I were in my 30's or later....

      Scarx2gt You and I are almost the same haha. I'm 20 now and my hairline has receded a bit at the temples and on the front top of my head has thinned a little bit. I started this process when I was about 17 but I had buzzcut hair. I only noticed when I was 18 when i started trying to grow my hair out. for me aside from genetics i think not caring for my hair and self was and is a big factor in the cause for hair loss. Ive started taking better care of my hair doing the following: not using harsh shampoo and only washing hair with shampoo every now and then. Moisturizing hair with oils and apple cider vinegar( ACV for me is to help with dry itchy scalp, it also makes the hair really nice and soft) and massaging the head every now and again while applying oils to promote bloodflow. Doing the above I have noticed some very small regrowth in receded temple area and top of head. I am still trying to make my diet better but keep in mind diet is the most important factor aside from genetics.
