It's taken me a while to come to terms with this, but now I feel like a million bucks. I have a goal to post once every two weeks on this channel going forward, and I'm super excited about it. Can't wait to see what we can create together!
That’s the worst lol.. I never used to give a shit about hair till I got insecure about it. Funny thing is it took me 5 years of balding before I started to get insecure. It happened when I started dating... and
@@DamnedPunk-vr7cj well, i was in the exact same situation at the exact same age. At 19 years old i had 40 year old dad haricut. Shaved it off grew a beard and girls started to like me, eventually found my girlfriend of 5 years now and she says that she likes my bald head. it really does get better. i lost my hair before i lost my virginity, life is funny sometimes haha
As a 19 year old who's losing hair, I really think people make it look like a bigger deal than this is. When you cut your hair you looked really good, you shouldn't be ashamed.
@@UsedToBeMax I also start losing my hair at 19, although its slow now im 23 and its becoming noticible. I struggle with the idea that i dont know if i should do somthing about it or not (Medication). For one side it would be cool to keep my hair and maybe regrow some, but on the other side i feel like its running away,i dont want to be dependent on meds and eventually if i do it and then stop i will lose my hair anyway. I also think that if i shaved ill be just as happy with or without hair so why should i care. But yeah, just wanted to share my thoughts with you, since you seem to be in the same situation where i once was.
I’m remember when I was at the gym working out and I saw almost everyone around me with their new haircuts. I remember this girl giving complements to her boyfriend about he’s new haircut. I just walk out of the gym, and went straight to my car. It was really depressing at the moment for me, because it seems that I’m the only one balding 😔 I did wanna cry but at the same time feel really angry about myself. I didn’t talk for a month with anyone, including my family because no one will understand me. Since that incident, today I shaved my head and embrace it. I don’t feel bad about myself no more, believe me guys it was a big relief for me. Stay strong my balding friends because small things can’t stop us from living a happy life.
Branson Liimo glad you’re keeping your head up, stay strong and be happy. I recommend you to start hitting up the gym, get a good physique body, just to gain more confidence on yourself. That’s what I’m doing, but for now I’ll stick to home workouts since we have this pandemic going on lol
There's like four bald guys at my gym. I can't tell them apart because they're so similar in body an face. Apart from that I don't care about them anymore than I do about the other strangers at the gym. All that negativity is just in your head.
dunnotck1 well, so far I’m doing fine. But there’s moments when I picture myself having hair and that’s what keeps me mentally distracted. Hopefully there’s something in the future to cure/prevent hair loss permanently, so other generations would not go through such discomfort about themselves.
I can feel your pain... Man, here in my country people in general hate bald guys, specially women. I shaved my head when I was 21, I'm almost 26 now, but my life was never the same, the shame of being different than most people of my age, the feeling that I look 40yo instead of looking my real age, the feeling that I'm always two or three steps below other Young guys and the impossibility to change my haircut or my appearance, it Hurts, It Hurts really deep.
Good video! When I started going bald I was legit depressed for about 2 yrs... hats every day.. no dating.. very little going out People don’t know how hard it is.
@@Rey_Fantasma some do care while others don't. Hair is just a part of you, just like intelligence, muscles, money or personality. I can assure you that you can be attractive being bald, ugly or poor as long as you treat yourself as though you are the most important person in the world.
I shaved my head yesterday and I mentally shut down. I never thought balding could mentally break me. This video put a smile on my face. Thank you king.
This video brought tears to my eyes . Am 22 and started to notice my receding hairlines and less densed crown . Am very depressed . Sure this video didn't solve my problems but it did put a smile on my face .
As a 26 yo bald guy, this hits home. Thanks for making this. I went through all the stages and it really hits the nail on the head. I wish there was more content about this because it’s such a common issue and there are so many individuals struggling with their self image and are stuck on step 3-4. The r/bald page helped a lot as well as some of my favorite bald comedians.
I accepted my baldness a few years ago and still find myself grabbing at a hat or something to cover it up around new people & women. I wonder if I'll ever get over it 100%. Time will tell. I share your journey, all the best. Thanks for this video :)
Whenever I see a bald guy indoors, I think 'look, there is a guy'. Whenever I see a guy wearing a hat indoors I think 'look theres an insecure bald guy'
I actually got a bit teary with the last bit. The depression just gets overwhelming. I have constantly felt that I won't find anyone due to my hair loss. Anyway 2 days ago I shaved it off and while it's early I feel the weight off my shoulders. I think this will help along with other things build my confidence and live my life! Great video btw! PS. I have a disability (Cerebral Palsy) but hand on heart the hair loss has made me more self conscious than that.
You are awesome mate. If you ever get that depressed over just hair again remember to cut it out and stop taking yiyr appearance so seriously. Choose happiness.
love it man, this just gave me the confidence to finally buzz my hair at 1 am after two hears of thinning and receding. Best decision I've made all week, I immediately feel a ton better and 80% of my anxiety just went in the trash with my what little hair I had left.
Scary relatable! After finally leaning into balding, I like looking on the bright side: drying your hair after it gets wet is a breeze, you never have to worry about having disheveled hair in wind, after talking off a hat, or getting out of bed and the feeling of air between your head and upper ear lobe is great. Keep up the awesome content!
This is honestly my favourite video on RUclips. Thanks so much for making it. It's literally one of the only things that's actually made me feel better about losing my hair.
3 years of balding almost destroyed my self-esteem. I thought that nobody will love me again, nobody will hire me. I broke up with my girlfriends because of that and stopped to hang out with several friends. I spent a lot of money on hair loss remedy. I wasn't bald yet, but I started to live in the future and stopped living in the present. Then I realized all of this. It's so funny, because they are just hair and they never really helped me with anything. I feel good now, it doesn't bother me anymore.
I started noticing thinning on my scalp when I was 17. But it got worse when I turned 18. It wasn’t that bad unless you looked carefully or if I was under bright light. People would say I still have lots of hair left that will lay a good couple of years but tbh I just want to go bald now. I didn’t have a long “depression” phase I was self conscious for a few months but I kept watching these types of videos and it really helped boost my confidence. Now I don’t give a shit anymore about what people think of my hair. I’m turning 19 next week and I’ve decided to completely shave it off.
Well done. You actually look more masculine with the shave than before. I’m losing my hair too fairly young and it sucks. Thank you for this motivation that things will still be okay when I get to the end

Hey I was feeling really shitty as I just noticed that I'm losing my hair. This made me laugh and cheered me up yet hit me in the feels. I think the shaved look looks really good on you!
Yes yes yes! This is so important and I am so happy and proud of you for putting this out there! I actually have a friend who is currently losing her hair and I’m gonna send this to her right away!
Thank you for addressing this, especially the depression part. We blame ourselves for it. We call ourselves ugly. We feel like shit for a thing we both can't control and is, frankly, very common.
Yeah~ I started losing hair at similar age. I was like WTF its 20-30 years too early. I started using drugs to halt it and asked hairdresser for shortest option possible. I am 30 now and some hairs regrow~ well~ they did but they are lighter and shorter than healthy version. Will have to shave bald soon anyway so dont waste money 😂 (I was paying 100$ per three months 🙄)
Je me reconnais tellement dans cette vidéo. Courage mec ! J'en suis à la fin de l'étape 4, l'étape 5 est prévue pour cet été ! Courage à tous les chauves ! Bises depuis la France
I relate to some of the steps here lol and ngl it hurts a lot. I loved my hair ever since I was a child, I loved styling it. For me it was my best asset, I loved keeping it long. I'm in a phase of problem solving and also noticing everybody's hairlines and being envious about it. It was really depressing since I needed my hair for a stage play and I am the only best suit in terms of overall character except for my hair. We needed to shoot some promotional materials but, my hair just can't cooperate. I can see everyone's having hard time with styling my hair. It was too depressing, then I have to smile and things like that ugh ._. I'm 19 yrs old rn. Ok this was long but yeah had to let it out. Confidence is slowly drained out of my body. Edit: I'm a male.
@@sapitron what do you get out of making others feel bad? what are balding guys supposed to do? buy into some quack "cure" your selling OR are they supposed to just let it get bad? fuck off.
great video! i've been between steps 1-4 for the last 15 years of my life. finally made it to step 5 tonight. for anyone who has been worrying about it, just do it. if it ends up being a disaster (it won't), it'll grow back in a few weeks. no, your skull shape/facial features/whatever else you've been agonizing over are not conventionally perfect. no, no one worth your time cares. it's only hair, and like another commenter here said, we have way more serious stuff to worry about as we get older. i regret spending my adult life to this point worrying so much about it. feels like a huge weight has finally been lifted :)
@@prime5288 Haan bhai! Mai bhi gym jaata hun, muscular aur strong hun. Isliye self esteem kam nahi hota mera shave karne ke baad bhi. Apne pe work karo, apne ko accept kar loge jis din jaise ho, us din duniya bhi kar legi.

I'm 95kg right now bahot mehenat kar raha hu yar I wish jaldi kar lunga loose weight. And thank you yar. And by the way my name is Gaurav. I'm from nashik.
This was probably the most moving video I've seen on youtube. Everything you said was exactly true and what I have experienced, thought, and googled. I am on step 4.5. I just bought my clippers and will probably cut it in a week or two.
I still send people this video years later It really helped my partner when he started balding, he shaved his head a few days later and has never looked back, I personally think he looks incredible with a bald head and it makes massaging his scalp much easier!
I think it looks great! Reminds me of Binging with Babish whose videos I watched a lot recently and by no means is he visually or morally ugly ;) It's a hard decision to make and it's good to read that you found a positive outcome with it! Keep it up :)
Bro, I was suffering from major depression because of being bald at 27 then I was your video. I was honestly impressed and inspired by your words. Saved my life. Thank you.
I never thought that (probably) my boyfriend was ever in these phases, too, which I didnt understand and never will, but... I love him, the way he is. With hair or without hair. I've loved him though he's bald (he is having hair loss in his young age too)
This video made me smile and cry at the same time. Never have i seen a video that is so accurate, some people will never understand, but you have helped them, by making this video, thank you!
Im 20 and im balding even though my ancestors weren’t bald at all, in fact they had a lot of hair, but out of nowhere the baldness installed of my head... why meee? How it’s possible?
A Z but my uncle ( mom’s brother) and my grandpa (mom’s dad) had and still has a lot of hair, no sign of balding at all, in fact they have more and more hair than my dad’s side. Whatever... I still don’t know how I’m going bald even thou I have no ancestors that were bald... weird
A Z I went to a dermatologist to see if I have some problems with the skin of head but he said that my baldness is genetic even though I said that my ancestors weren’t bald... yea whatever will be I will accept, and if I will truly go bald I will shave my head and that’s it... but maybe is just a 20 years old thing and after some years hair will grow again thicker...
You look so damn handsome with your shaved beard 👌 I'm being real. That last part is on point, no one that's worth your time in your life will make fun of you because of the fact you went bald.
It took me a while to accept my balding but I took it differently. At first, I shaved it off, hoping to hide the fact that I was going bald and making the excuse I was "saving money on shampoo", which really isn't a good excuse. At times like this, I wasted time and energy staying bald. Then one day, I saw an old picture of my father on his wedding day. He was going bald too. Widow's peak and a large clear spot on top. Still, he looked like the happiest man alive, despite how his hair looked. These days it's worse but every time I see him, he smiles. It made me realize that caring about balding doesn't actually matter. So I let me hair bald naturally and I have a moustache that compliments it. Honestly, I think it makes me look more mature and wiser, despite still being in my twenties. All that matters is just enjoying your own look.
1: That sinking feeling. 2: Total panic. 3: Two mirror obsession. 4: Suffer agonies. 5: Accept it, shave it and feel much, much better. How easy was that?
I can relate 100% to this video, heck I even looked at the same vids you were watching in this video lol. People don’t get how tough it’s. I still haven’t got the courage to do step 5, but videos like these are really encouraging!
Been in the depression stage for a year and a half now. I’m 22 and it’s sad because I feel like I’ve lost so much of what should’ve been the best years of my life from it. Shaving my head is actually giving me hope at this point. I can’t wait to not have to worry about it anymore and being able to put it behind me. I just need to find the courage to do it first
losing my hair was like something that I never thought would really affect me like that ! I even started looking at my scalp automatically when I look into any mirror, but I guess, that when you realize that there's no way around that, that being bald shouldn't be considered bad but it should just be considered " different " ! I think that's the point when you have to understand that shaving your hair is a much easier solution than trying to have it growing again. still, I have to say sometimes I really feel that I would have looked a thousand times better with hair and who knows, maybe it would lead me to have things that I can't have without hair, but I understanding that there are a lot of people out there whose hair loss didn't affect them or make them lose their confidence and lead them to more accomplishments in life, just as it is said in the video, losing your hair doesn't make you a different person, unless you let it ! Great video by the way
Hey, I’m a 52 year old gay man and have always found men who are bald or with major receding hair line to be extremely sexy!! You look great with you hair shaved and your eyes are the main attraction!
Y’all have it so fucking easy lmao, I started balding when I was 12 and it essentially ruined my life in the way that it changed me entirely as a person. I was such a happy kid in middle school and then I got looked at as a weirdo and a crackhead because my hairline was receeded af in 6th grade. 7th grade I was probably getting made fun of my looks and hair for the whole year and I never once had a girlfriend once I started losing my hair.’ I covered it up with a crop cut and I’m 15 now but I always stress about if people will see my hairline and bad haircuts destroy my self esteem 😂 anybody saying this isn’t a serious issue is stupid this has literally fucked up my self esteem I’m 15 bro my hair is on my mind everyday I just don’t wanna go bald and on top of that school sucks like smh

Same here. I have thick hair but decided one day to break the mold and try out the bald look. It actually looked nice and I decided to keep it instead of growing back. I feel more confident and manly and think it enhanced my appearance.

Beard as baldness as body hair is the result of low testosterone levels and high in DHT, estrogen and cortisol.

@@britpoppansy 😂🤣💀 💀bro no Tripp I’m 5’4 my hair is receding on the sides just be confident with yourself 💯🤙
Hey I was feeling really shitty as I just noticed that I'm losing my hair. This made me laugh and cheered me up yet hit me in the feels. I think the shaved look looks really good on you!
Yes yes yes! This is so important and I am so happy and proud of you for putting this out there! I actually have a friend who is currently losing her hair and I’m gonna send this to her right away!
For women it's different. Worse. But the upside is, that women can wear wigs and be totally open about it being a wig, without any social stigma
I'm about to take the plunge guys. Here we go.
Thank you for addressing this, especially the depression part. We blame ourselves for it. We call ourselves ugly. We feel like shit for a thing we both can't control and is, frankly, very common.
as a 17 year old boy who's balding,
i needed this so much. thank you.
That awkward moment when you look at yourself in the mirror and you look better bald😳 I know my confidence boost up
Step 6: be able to grow a beard
It all started when I was 20. I'm 27 now and I finally did it. I can relate to all of these steps!
This video was amazing. I’m 23, struggling with losing my hair, and just stumbled on this now. Thank you for making this.
I'm 22 and loosing hair. This video helped me. Thanks 😊
Loosing hair? You should try tighting it :)
Go for ht
Rogaine or the cheap version doesn’t hurt to try
Yeah~ I started losing hair at similar age. I was like WTF its 20-30 years too early. I started using drugs to halt it and asked hairdresser for shortest option possible. I am 30 now and some hairs regrow~ well~ they did but they are lighter and shorter than healthy version. Will have to shave bald soon anyway so dont waste money 😂 (I was paying 100$ per three months 🙄)
Je me reconnais tellement dans cette vidéo. Courage mec ! J'en suis à la fin de l'étape 4, l'étape 5 est prévue pour cet été !
Courage à tous les chauves ! Bises depuis la France
Currently I'm in step 4 and man it really sucks.....
been in step 4 for about 3 years. Ready to plunge into step 5 and buzz it all off.
@@WhopyStompy how’s it go?
I relate to some of the steps here lol and ngl it hurts a lot. I loved my hair ever since I was a child, I loved styling it. For me it was my best asset, I loved keeping it long. I'm in a phase of problem solving and also noticing everybody's hairlines and being envious about it. It was really depressing since I needed my hair for a stage play and I am the only best suit in terms of overall character except for my hair. We needed to shoot some promotional materials but, my hair just can't cooperate. I can see everyone's having hard time with styling my hair. It was too depressing, then I have to smile and things like that ugh ._. I'm 19 yrs old rn.
Ok this was long but yeah had to let it out. Confidence is slowly drained out of my body.
Edit: I'm a male.
Bald’s the way to go mate. No hassle, no hat hair, no expensive haircuts. Loved the video, and you’re looking stellar with the shaved head 👍
C O P E
What expensive haircuts?
@@sapitron what do you get out of making others feel bad?
what are balding guys supposed to do? buy into some quack "cure" your selling OR are they supposed to just let it get bad? fuck off.
Keeping it very cropped IS a hassle.
Lookin Stellar lol
great video! i've been between steps 1-4 for the last 15 years of my life. finally made it to step 5 tonight. for anyone who has been worrying about it, just do it. if it ends up being a disaster (it won't), it'll grow back in a few weeks. no, your skull shape/facial features/whatever else you've been agonizing over are not conventionally perfect. no, no one worth your time cares. it's only hair, and like another commenter here said, we have way more serious stuff to worry about as we get older. i regret spending my adult life to this point worrying so much about it. feels like a huge weight has finally been lifted :)
Thank you for motivating me, I'm into depression phase right now. Now I'm confident thank you. Love from india.
I'm Indian as well. Just shave it off man! It'll only bother you for like 2 weeks at max! Bald is Bold.
@@mohitkataria1822 ha yar mohit, I'm fat guy, trying really hard to loose weight. Jab weight loose kar lunga tab bald look rakhunga.
@@prime5288 Haan bhai! Mai bhi gym jaata hun, muscular aur strong hun. Isliye self esteem kam nahi hota mera shave karne ke baad bhi. Apne pe work karo, apne ko accept kar loge jis din jaise ho, us din duniya bhi kar legi.
@@mohitkataria1822 pura bald nai hu mohit. Ha but hairline piche gayi hai dono Temple side ki, matlab bald nai hu but hair thin ho rahe hai, aur bal bhi zhad rahe hai. To isliye I'm worried. I'm 95kg right now bahot mehenat kar raha hu yar I wish jaldi kar lunga loose weight. And thank you yar. And by the way my name is Gaurav. I'm from nashik.
@@prime5288 if you want help getting fit bro, i got you! We're in it together
This was probably the most moving video I've seen on youtube. Everything you said was exactly true and what I have experienced, thought, and googled. I am on step 4.5. I just bought my clippers and will probably cut it in a week or two.
Shaving my head was one of the best decisions of my life, man. Never looked back from the first time I dragged a razor across my dome.
I still send people this video years later
It really helped my partner when he started balding, he shaved his head a few days later and has never looked back, I personally think he looks incredible with a bald head and it makes massaging his scalp much easier!
I think it looks great! Reminds me of Binging with Babish whose videos I watched a lot recently and by no means is he visually or morally ugly ;)
It's a hard decision to make and it's good to read that you found a positive outcome with it! Keep it up :)
Bro, I was suffering from major depression because of being bald at 27 then I was your video. I was honestly impressed and inspired by your words. Saved my life. Thank you.
I came here not because I am balding, but because I like laughing at the bald “people”. I am happy that God loves me more than all bald people ever
facts
I shaved my head completely for the first time last night, and then found this video. This was my exact experience to a T. Great video, well done.
The new look on you looks sick! You look like a badass 💪
This is like a retelling of the past few years of my life. Nails it!
As a 20 year old starting to go bald, this was very uplifting
Me too. M 20. This video is gold :)
Glad that these things are talked about in open now. Glad that I am not alone!!
Great video, funny aswell 😅 getting a hair transplant was the best thing I ever did. You rock the bald look as that beard is insane 🔥
This was funny cause it was so real. And it was a huge relief at the end. Way to go man :)
I never thought that (probably) my boyfriend was ever in these phases, too, which I didnt understand and never will, but... I love him, the way he is. With hair or without hair. I've loved him though he's bald (he is having hair loss in his young age too)
This video made me smile and cry at the same time. Never have i seen a video that is so accurate, some people will never understand, but you have helped them, by making this video, thank you!
Im 20 and im balding even though my ancestors weren’t bald at all, in fact they had a lot of hair, but out of nowhere the baldness installed of my head... why meee? How it’s possible?
A Z but my uncle ( mom’s brother) and my grandpa (mom’s dad) had and still has a lot of hair, no sign of balding at all, in fact they have more and more hair than my dad’s side.
Whatever... I still don’t know how I’m going bald even thou I have no ancestors that were bald... weird
A Z I went to a dermatologist to see if I have some problems with the skin of head but he said that my baldness is genetic even though I said that my ancestors weren’t bald... yea whatever will be I will accept, and if I will truly go bald I will shave my head and that’s it... but maybe is just a 20 years old thing and after some years hair will grow again thicker...
Hey man, it works on you! I’m in step 4 right now.
This is gonna blow up
This made me cry. Thank you for this.
Right in the feels..... The shaved head really suits you tho
gotta say this was dead on lol completely feel this, sucks especially when ur young but you gotta just embrace it i guess lol great video man
You look so damn handsome with your shaved beard 👌 I'm being real.
That last part is on point, no one that's worth your time in your life will make fun of you because of the fact you went bald.
It took me a while to accept my balding but I took it differently. At first, I shaved it off, hoping to hide the fact that I was going bald and making the excuse I was "saving money on shampoo", which really isn't a good excuse. At times like this, I wasted time and energy staying bald. Then one day, I saw an old picture of my father on his wedding day. He was going bald too. Widow's peak and a large clear spot on top. Still, he looked like the happiest man alive, despite how his hair looked. These days it's worse but every time I see him, he smiles. It made me realize that caring about balding doesn't actually matter. So I let me hair bald naturally and I have a moustache that compliments it. Honestly, I think it makes me look more mature and wiser, despite still being in my twenties. All that matters is just enjoying your own look.
1: That sinking feeling.
2: Total panic.
3: Two mirror obsession.
4: Suffer agonies.
5: Accept it, shave it and feel much, much better.
How easy was that?
I can relate 100% to this video, heck I even looked at the same vids you were watching in this video lol. People don’t get how tough it’s. I still haven’t got the courage to do step 5, but videos like these are really encouraging!
i planned on going bald at 21 when i cut off my dreads cuz i wanna look smooth for the ladys and be like my mentor DAVE BAUTISTA
Been in the depression stage for a year and a half now. I’m 22 and it’s sad because I feel like I’ve lost so much of what should’ve been the best years of my life from it. Shaving my head is actually giving me hope at this point. I can’t wait to not have to worry about it anymore and being able to put it behind me. I just need to find the courage to do it first
I know this has been a struggle for you but you look great with it. Sure you've helped a lot of other people by posting about this too.
You nailed this! Found it four years later, but it's currently me. Just shaved my head yesterday!
At least your beard game is on point. Try being bald on your head and having a patchy/partial beard.
Preach!!!
Not looking forward to it man
I love you. Im going throught this for past few years and finally shaved my head.
I feels like I am dying inside....It's so scary
It is
losing my hair was like something that I never thought would really affect me like that ! I even started looking at my scalp automatically when I look into any mirror, but I guess, that when you realize that there's no way around that, that being bald shouldn't be considered bad but it should just be considered " different " ! I think that's the point when you have to understand that shaving your hair is a much easier solution than trying to have it growing again. still, I have to say sometimes I really feel that I would have looked a thousand times better with hair and who knows, maybe it would lead me to have things that I can't have without hair, but I understanding that there are a lot of people out there whose hair loss didn't affect them or make them lose their confidence and lead them to more accomplishments in life, just as it is said in the video, losing your hair doesn't make you a different person, unless you let it !
Great video by the way
0:22 hahaha I laughed out so loud. That was so me haha the fall back was to get rich
i've been losing my hair for a few years now and it sucks...
I needed to watch this. Thank you !
Hey, I’m a 52 year old gay man and have always found men who are bald or with major receding hair line to be extremely sexy!! You look great with you hair shaved and your eyes are the main attraction!
Not even kidding bro, you look really good completely bald! I really appreciate this video!
Y’all have it so fucking easy lmao, I started balding when I was 12 and it essentially ruined my life in the way that it changed me entirely as a person. I was such a happy kid in middle school and then I got looked at as a weirdo and a crackhead because my hairline was receeded af in 6th grade. 7th grade I was probably getting made fun of my looks and hair for the whole year and I never once had a girlfriend once I started losing my hair.’ I covered it up with a crop cut and I’m 15 now but I always stress about if people will see my hairline and bad haircuts destroy my self esteem 😂 anybody saying this isn’t a serious issue is stupid this has literally fucked up my self esteem I’m 15 bro my hair is on my mind everyday I just don’t wanna go bald and on top of that school sucks like smh
hope you're fine brother
At 12?? You might wanna get some blood tests done
This video is amazing. Simply put
Kudos to you my friend
I regret calling a dude baldie a year ago now after he was rude to me and my friends
Thank you. I felt this, I felt it good, it's hard no doubt. Must overcome it. Great video.
step 6 already have a girlfriend before you go bald
You’re gorgeous! I love the honest way you describe the struggle.
BALD MEN ARE HANDSOME!!! REMEMBER THAT, BROTHER!!!

LOL GEORGE CANTSTANDYA!!! XD Great video man, means a lot to most guys out there including myself!
I have hair but i prefer to be bald because i look sexier. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same here. I have thick hair but decided one day to break the mold and try out the bald look. It actually looked nice and I decided to keep it instead of growing back. I feel more confident and manly and think it enhanced my appearance.
Man... so many words here in a short great video. Congrats!
I'm stuck at step 4...
Talos353 same and im not ready for step 5 because im only 17.
Same.
Great video, definitely harder to lose your hair when it was yours was so beautiful. Now it’s a different look but still looks great.
I'm going bald and I'm 15,I definitely dont suit it,wish me luck.
Same bro
@@raftel7440 good luck bro,we are in this together,let nothing bring us down!

You guys are not going bald
@@nutmalone5527 what makes you think that?
Really well put. Dealt with the truth men go through. Thanks for airing it.👏👏👏
Being bald doesn’t matter as long as u have a normal head shape. Im balding with a misshaped head and I would do anything to have a normal skull like you. You look great man.
Look up "skull reshaping" Here's one www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/skull-reshaping/
I needed this video so badly. Thank you so much.
"I should get rich" LMAOOOO
I know this comment will be forgotten about, but, thanks man, just really thanks. You just cant imagine how greatful Im to you. The relief that I feel is amazing, you are the best.
Bald looks badass, epic and cool. Imagine how much less time your showers would take? No hair to wash lmao.
it's bad ass when you have a beard like him
This video talked to me on a damn deep level
Thank you
