#Balding #Baldcafe. #goingbald
Guy has a good shaped head, he looks good. Guy has a likable aura about him and he seems genuinely happy.
I'm happy for him.
Learning to accept hair loss is one way to treat hair loss. Takes guts, I admire that.
...from Kim Jong Un style to Pharrell Williams transformation 👍😎💯
Bro needs to do krillin cosplay with his height, musculature and bald head
With all due respect Kevin, how is desperately trying to homogenize the scalp as a last resort, so that the horseshoe stays hidden, actually "accepting" one's hairloss?
That's literally the inverse version of the person who's hiding his balding by combing his hair over the bald spots, the difference being that in this inverse version one is trying to bring down the level of the remaining hair to the level of the bald spots, so as to give the illusion of uniformity and thereby make the hairloss less noticeable.
Doesn't true acceptance lay in giving so little fucks about your hair that you wouldn't even exert the effort to go out and buy an electric razor, and thereby let your hair grow as is ?
IMO the men letting their horseshoe grow and not giving a fuck about it are the gutsy ones.
@@vhyles Hey, believe me the bald look isn't for me either. I just find it heartwarming to see someone who is happy about his newfound identity. I want bald men to feel happy and accepted.
@@vhyles Accepting it means you're working with it and not against it to style your appearance. Accepting it doesn't mean you have to flaunt it and look worse on purpose.
Head shape play's a HUGE role in being able to pull that look off
Yes and the facial features looks like also fits his bald head head so much man wish my head skull was like him and my smile too
@omar-1121 bruh.. i have very thin and light eyebrows..not sure if a bald head would sute me. At least i have a great beard
@@Samule-BuleDye your eyebrows dark it will make a massive difference
Wayyy better bro, looks great 👏
Dude looks awesome! Congrats man
Bro shaved his head and turned into one of the greatest UFC featherweight of all time.
LMAOOO he does kind of look like Aldo!
I am 16 i had slight hairline recession so I buzzed it with zero guard and it looks pretty cool :D also everyone at school told me it looks good
Hmm just so you are aware: slight recession in your teenage years is completely normal for most men, even those who do not go bald. It's called a "mature hairline".
@@nathan87doesn’t mature that early. that is male pattern baldness
@@sjisjsissk mature hairline typically appears as soon as somebody enters puberty, so as young as 12-13.
Seems like a great dude! Good on ya man
Looks great my Brother. Congrats ⚡⚡⚡
Welcome to the brotherhood. We nod whenever we see each other
Fr? Bout to join becoming very insecure with the hair around the temple receding
@@donthevalenJoin us.. Join us... *** group starts chanting ***
😂😂❤❤
this really helps, thankyou for your content.
A pleasure as always and if you ever need a deeper level of support be sure to check out The Baldcafe community 👍
killing the game bro
Bro became one punch man!! great to see a fellow asian on the channel...I have been balding since 16 and finally shaved my hair off. Best decision I ever made.
Nice story bro
Congratulations, gentlemen.
Very inspiring and uplifting. Getting to the gym even when you're tired or low always gives your body and mentality a boost...
You are Perfect Now. Congratulations.
Congratulations! You look great!
What type of razor and shaving cream are you using to shave your head?
Amazon basic 5-blade razor, and any run of the mill 99 cent store shaving cream. Comes down to the shaving technique tbh
This dude seems like such a nice guy.
Too early to welcome another member to the community
Man this guy looks so cool without hair. It’s not often that someone looks good without a beard and hair but this guy looks really good
I agree
Nobody on this channel look better before, they all look 100 times better shaved!👨🏼🦲
All of them would look better with hair, stop the cap.
@@Mike-wq7mw Yeah you are right! Stop wearing caps bald man and be proud of that nice bald head brothers!👨🏼🦲👨🏻🦲👨🏽🦲👨🏾🦲👨🏿🦲
His man bun looked good. He's probably still be rocking it if he had a choice.
@@Mike-wq7mwMOST, I agree. I think he means in the final stages of holding onto hair vs bald which is generally true.
@@Mike-wq7mwyeah with a full head of hair they would but that's wishful thinking
i have a experience similar to his…i started balding during hs..after graduating i decided to shave it off….im now in university as a bald man and still have healthy relationships with my friends
This is the kind of content I miss in my country.
I rolled with him in bjj club before. Crazy seeing him on here. He always had a very confident vibe so it's wild hearing all the internal struggles he went through. He was pretty jacked when I met him lol so he already went through his mental/physical transformation.
Solid guy 10/10 would recommend
First view right ❤
Whoever shaved their heads and got on with it have my respect, for me I'm in the Norwood 3 category, I hide it well but it's a struggle to hide my bald spots on my temples most of the time whilst using a long comb over sort of style to give me a straight hairline illusion.
I have a big head sadly, it's been an insecurity even before my balding chapter hence why I never even had a shape up, been bald when I wanted to try when I was a kid etc. Ive dealt with BDD all my life, having long hair has been the only thing to make such a huge difference to my level of confidence. Had short hair throughout most my 20s due to the early slow development from MPB but was never happy because it wasn't me. My dream is to finally work towards my goals towards my appearance, so sadly being bald is not an option for me in my early life.
good vid
Im still struggling with this, I used to have curly hair. Even tho I’m shaving for years, still don’t like my head when looking in mirror
What do you like about yourself?
@@Baldcafe My ability to stay (relatively) positive, with massive help of creators like yourself! Which I’m thankful for 💪🏼
Hi bald cafe, im 21 and i started losing hair at 19. In my high school years i was the curly latin good looking boy (im dominican), and hair played a important role on how i present to others and how i attracted woman. Im 6 ft 175 pounds, skinny fit guy. Last December i decided that i wanted to keep hair as most as posible and started oral min and finasteride with a dermatologist. She started me with a low dose of 2.5mg oral min and 1mg finasteride 3 times a week and the result's have been crazy good, ive recovery my hairline with a derma pen and this treatment in 3 months. I think i am oversensitive to Minoxidil cause i also got a beard that im rocking r8 now. Love your channel men, keep doing gods work and i hope i can be feature when i get completely bald in some years, but by now i want to push my hair at least 5 to 10 more years
And for anyone's asking, yes. My dad is bald, my grandpa is bald
@enmanueldipuglia9082
Keep using finasteride and get on topical minoxidil instead of oral minoxidil (topical is more safe).
Just use topical minoxidil once a day at night and wash your hair in the morning and you are good to go.
You don't need to ever go bald as long as you stay on finasteride + minoxidil.
No need to plan your future on baldcafe! Lol
Hope this helps 🙏
Good for you man. Keep doing your thing and when you’ve had enough you can move on 👍
This guy is One-Punch Man,lol.
Bro I need your help I am 17 and 5.11 and 53kg and i am balding and I know I will we bald within 1 year please give me some advice please ♥️♥️
might want to consider the treatment if you want to hold on, it can def help. Otherwise embrace the head haha
he looks really better now

Aleichem shalom my friend 🙏🙏
@@somtowyer3221 Shalom! 🇮🇱
Never make fun of anyone for hair loss it will make the norwood reaper to your own hair.
I myself am 32 and still doing good, I am going grey with noticeable white hairs
I'm 24. I have crazy mad scientist hair. But there's 2 big gaps at the front and one in the middle. So shall I dhave
idk about yall but every winter i rock the Heihachi Mishima hairstyle summer time i shave it off 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 😮 🎉🎉
Wow 👌
he looks cool
The bald look goes perfect with beard
Shaving it seems more an act of defiance more so than acceptance.
How so? They are accepting that they will lose all of their hair sooner or later and speeding up a natural process.
That seems like the definition of acceptance for me
@@archjones8187 they can accept it without shaving it
he might look even better without the stache
What is his @ I want to talk to him. I am 1 to 1 in the situation + I'm also asian
It’s literally in the description pal linked up ready for you.
❤
He’s looking very, very good. His facial structure and those lips…damn.
Plus a good reminder that having a good skin care routine is also key. This guys takes care of his skin.
Also, great teeth.
This guy is nailing it.
Thought that was Zukko
Nah this is unnecessarily funny
God saw his manbun and gave him hairloss. Now looks much better
he looks like Saitama....Its cool....time to be a muscle man brother and be sexy
Sean Connery was bald that didn't bother women one bit if a woman is with you because you have hair you are definitely with the wrong gal
It’s so rare for Asian person to being a bald… usually Asian hair is sooo good.
Good luck.
Nah, there’s plenty of balding Asian men.
- This guy is one of the few who’ve gone for the bald look.
Looks super fly! 💯
@@eliethia1197 Caucasian men willface some degree of male pattern baldness, and around half can expect to lose their hair by middle age or younger, it’s my opinion. Asian men, and East Asians in particular, have historically experienced the lowest incidence of hair loss in the world.
@@alexbayer2365 balding does not affect one race of men more or less than others. Interesting observation but that's incorrect, friend. 🙂
@@MikeJones-bm4wu it depends, read statistics. Race depends on hair loss
@@alexbayer2365 If you choose to believe that, go right ahead. im not going to convince you otherwise. I just had to call out that your opinion, as the way you mentioned it above, is not factual. Have a great day.
I lived in Güd Korea for years, it was extremely rare to see young koreans going bald.
Asian definitely don't go bald as much as Caucasians and that's a fact.
So it's unusual to see a young asian men completely bald.
That being said, i think this gentleman looks good bald 👍 .
However, i just love Asian hair, i mean they do have great hair so yeah..
If i was him i would definitely have gotten on finasteride / minoxidil right away to keep that great Asian hair !
But to each their own i guess. Choices are choices and he looks happy so there you go 😊.
This channel is okay but the fear mongering BaldCafe does on hairloss medicines is actually ridiculous (sounds like propaganda to scare people away from those meds).
Hairloss is about choices (keep your hair or not). But the fear mongering on meds is definitely getting on my nerve !
Pick out literally one piece of fear mongering I’ve done on this channel. Tell me which video and the time stamp please.
Ok I can’t be arsed to wait for your reply so here’s my inevitable response. There isn’t one piece of fear mongering. You are just assuming that promoting the acceptance of going bald is fear mongering. I don’t ever need to slander the use of meds to show the benefits of just going bald. This channel exists because of the medicalisation of baldness that is now seen as so normal. It exists because for those who don’t want to go a life time on medication and surgery just to avoid the discomfort of fully confronting their hair loss there isn’t enough support and normalization of that route. Just because you decide you don’t want to use meds etc doesn’t suddenly make accepting going bald easy. Hence I started this channel. The fear mongering of going and being bald is actually the real problem here. If you wana take meds etc just do it and crack on there is apparently no need for you to ever consume hair loss content again right? You’ve solved the problem. The real problem with balding is the anxiety/appearance anxiety it causes. You can deal with it by trying to change your appearance (aka using products to conceal the balding) or you can learn to go bald and accept it. I might be missing a few points but I’m not trying to write a damn Ted talk. Final point is on this channel I’ve shared MY own personal reasons for not wanting to subscribe to a lifetime of trying to keep the balding at bay through meds and surgery and that is it. And the guys in my vids literally just share their reasons for also moving on from or not wanting to take hair loss medication for the rest of their life. Peace out ✌️
@Baldcafe
Since you are asking :
" finasteride, 5 reasons why I will never take finasteride/propecia " (the whole video is full of shit and fear mongering/ literally completely false informations).
And that's just a video among others.
@@Baldcafe" there isn't one piece of fear mongering "
---> you lied.
And that's the thing with your channel, it's a business. Which is fine, don't get me wrong, we all make money one way or another.
But please don't pretend you are not completely biased about hairloss and that the more people go bald, the better for you.
That's all I'm saying.
Then again it's all a matter of choices and if people want to go bald, so be it. No problem with that.
What bother me is that you basically lie to get what you want .
I mean you either lie or you are completely misinformed about hair meds etc...
Please inform people in a fair way with all the informations they need. Not just " finasteride is gonna shrink your penis, it's the most important hormone to reproduce bla bla bla " . That's ridiculous.
Study a bit about the topic and read the data you will be surprised to learn that DHT is only useful during your teenage years when sex development is concerned. But not in adulthood (that's why you shouldn't start finasteride before you are 18 years old basically).
You are just very misinformed (which again is completely fine) we all need to learn at some point.
But the problem is the fact that you actually make videos with lots of false informations .
@@exactly1176this channel is really about becoming comfortable with yourself no matter what. Whether someone decides to accept being bald, or fight balding by trying to cover it up or take medications is their choice. In my personal opinion, I think people are better off accepting balding. IT’S OKAY TO BE BALD. Society tries to shame bald men and push expensive treatments as if balding is a defect that needs to be fixed to live a happy life. I’d rather see people that are happy and accepting of themselves being bald rather than people with insecurities who are constantly wasting time and money on treatments instead of trying to enjoy their life.
Sean Connery was bald and that didn't bother women in the slightest If someone is with you because you have hair you are definitely with the wrong person
Bro all these people going bald are at least attractive!
If I go Bald I’m toast 😫
Bro is real life Saitama from One Punch Man.
It almost ruined mine, but then I found the joys of Finasteride and don't have to worry no more!
Same
Chinese people don’t go bald so it must be harder
Having lived in China for 8 years I can tell you they go bald for sure.
@@Baldcafe maybe very less
@@Baldcafe yes. But way less than in Europe (Caucasians).
bro could just go on finasteride and minoxidil thats all.
Minoxidil is unnecessary unless you're balding from crown cuz it's just a hair growth stimulant, it doesn't inhabits dht or anything, also if you stop taking minoxidil you're gonna lose the hair u already had
He is hot as
U MUST KEEP EATING NOODLES FOR HAIR STABILITY
Dude started losing hair in high school?? Was he using steroids?.
No
Oddjob
Better being bald than fighting going bald.
If you watch rick and Morty you deserve to go bald
Sounds like he was suffering from traction alopecia the cause of this was wearing his man bun too tight and too often .
