Should You POP PIMPLES? Acne Myths DEBUNKED ruclips.net/video/un-N6xlaa1U/видео.html
So what's to stop someone buying osteoporosis drug SFRP1 and making a solution and rubbing it into the scalp?
You didn't mention using organic/natural oils on the scalp 30 minutes before washing the head. It is very common practice (myth or not) in south east Asian countries.
It always gets me when science is years behind in simple things... we can clone cats.. but can't stop baldness...
Cloning Cats is easier than curing baldness
What I'm sceptical about is theres such high demand that its earn hundreds of millions of pounds a year. If they made a cure itll either cost way to much or they will put literally all of the hair loss companies completely out of business thus money
true
We have the knowledge to split atoms, create machines that can peer light years into space, make literal miniature black holes, and even attempt to bring back extinct animals through embryonic implantation through it’s closest living ancestor. But still can’t find a cure for something so minute and simple as balding??? Like seriously come on! These greedy bastards probably already know it by now but would lose millions - if not billions if it became known, that’s all it is.
Who said that cloned cat is living like a normal cat?😂 I get what you are saying but comparing two things thinking that it should work same way it stupid.
I wish this hair loss happened to my ass hair

I started shaving my head, grew a solid beard, stopped worrying. Life is great now.
@James Dean specially if u r short
I have some information to share with you that is not commonly known. In early 2022, my hair was thick and dense, but by the end of that year, I experienced significant hair loss, resulting in decreased thickness and density. However, I was able to regain control of my hair fall by adopting several positive habits. Firstly, I eliminated junk food from my diet. Secondly, I began exercising for 15 minutes daily to improve blood circulation. Additionally, I started drinking lukewarm water on an empty stomach every morning to aid in detoxification. Finally, I switched to Littleextra's safe and natural cocoonion shampoo and oil, massaging my hair twice a week and washing it after a few hours. As a result, my hair fall has reduced, and I have noticed new hairs growing on my scalp. In conclusion, it is possible to control hair fall by adopting a healthy lifestyle and positive habits.
No you can't if it's genetic. You regained hair growth because it wasn't genetic for you. You had thick and dense hair.

If I go bald I’m just gonna own it and be proud of it.
Why not? The main reason it bothers people is because society tells us it’s not attractive. What if we all just quit caring?
Im bald damn i look good. Hair just makes me look younger.
That's the best attitude. It's part of you, so own it and make it part of you.
Bro I have a massive forehead. I'm not exaggerating at all. I cant afford to be bald
Jess H well it’s not ideal if you go bald young because you’re not gonna get any women in the same age group as they’re not gonna find baldness attractive
nah bro having hair is the building blocks confidence and being a beautiful man to woman i rather end my life than go bald
I’m 19 and I got thinning hair and a bald spot. And too much sex is not one of them 😂
I don't know if this can help you. But here's my theory about balding. 1. Testosterone, is a necessary hormone and is essential for muscle growth and strength. 2. Stress, causes you to become tense and tighten certain muscles commonly but not only in the face and head area. 3. Posture, poor posture tightens certain muscles which, with correct posture would not be tightened. Especially with people who live a sedentary life, the muscles at the back of the head will tighten to keep the head facing horizontally. 4. Magnesium supplements, have been shown to decrease the rate of balding and is known to be a muscle relaxant. 5. Peppermint essential oil, has been shown to be more effective at reducing the rate of balding in men compared to Minoxidil a anti-hypertensive vasodilator medication. Peppermint is known to be an effective muscle-relaxant and stress-releiver. 6. DHT, like testosterone is essential in the development of muscles, blocking DHT then causes decreased muscle-growth. 7. Scalp massages has been shown to increase hair-growth, but not reliably. 8. Botox injections to the brow area have been shown to increase hair-growth as an unintentional side-effect.
Based on this, my theory is as follows. Chronic activity in muscles at the brow area, scalp and back of the head create a situation similar to a swimming cap which prevent hair from receiving the nutrients it needs. This is caused by, stress, poor posture and poor nutrition. The genetic link then would be your propensity to become stressed. However more importantly, the way you deal with stress and how well you take care of your body which are epigenetic factors, not genetic.
Now, consider the fact that the hair-loss industry is worth 4 Billion annually they have no incentive to tell you about this link. In the worst case none of this will work, but you're at least decreasing stress, correcting your posture and eating healthy. Which has benefits across the spectrum.
@@Rope257 I figured stress and poor nutrition does that not to mention poor sleep
@@Rope257 so in summary. What should a person do? Like a step by step guide please.
I'm currently experiencing depression because of male pattern baldness. I used to have decently thick hair when I was in college but now it's getting thinner everyday. I lost confidence, I wanna die.
I shaved it as soon as it started thinning out.
Wanted to "go bald gracefully". 10 years on no one remembers me with hair tbh.
Shave your head, grow out a small beard - not the dumbledore type.
You won't regret it
Just shave your head
Don't worry about it, use something called hair fibers (like toppik) they cover up hair loss easily and last in the wind and water, start using minoxidl, or if your old enough get on finastride which is a generic form of propecia(Costco is cheapest) try to maintain what you have and fill in what you don't with hair fibers which you get online or CVS...
Try Bears True Blue hair growth shampoo, that stuff works! Use the code word MARTIN for a discount. (20% I think)
@Gabe Webb this implies that everyone has a good head shape. for some people anxiety is real because of that. I never cut my hair because i have inherited larger jewish ears , this still surprises me then i am mixed. I keep my larger volume of loose curls and if i loose a patch i'd be devastated.
I'm planning on growing out my butt hair for a combover effect.
ladies love the dingle berry comb over.
I got ear hair to cover my baldy head👂👂👴👍
There's nothing you can do about it and the sooner you embrace it the better; It's really not an issue unless you make it one, believe me! I'm 39 and have been bald since 27 and yes, it was a freak out at first but once I decided to shave it all off it's genuinely never caused me any issues and hasn't been a problem with relationships. It's a totally normal part of life and there are FAR worse things that can happen to you than losing your hair so please stop stressing about it!
NO! I want my hair back! Ga dang it... ;-;
Don't worry about it, one day I ran the clippers through it and never looked back. I used to have long wavy blonde curls surfing in Australia in my teens/early twenties but realistically no one cares if you shave it off. You're fears are your own, not anyone elses and better off owning it early. Girls do like it, because if you have the guts to own it you're better than some guy who bases their existence off how their hair looks.
well said 👏
My hairline isn't receding! My forehead is just getting bigger!

@Debunked Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for hair treatment for men try Skyarza Hair Loss Star (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
I'm studying treating hair loss at home and found a fantastic website at Fearons loss fixer (google it if you're interested)
As a licensed Master Barber - I find it VERY troubling that this video only touched on barely 10 seconds of diet information at the very END of the video. This should have been one of the main topics of the video. Some great points were made, but diet is key. Input = output.
Eh, well recently I've been to skid row in downtown LA, saw lots of people who clearly were in the streets for a while (dirty, disheveled and unkempt, unfortunately). with full head of hair like no other. thick and plentiful. It is safe to assume that drug use plus a poor diet was at play. You can't get the best nutrition living and panhandling in the streets. It is mostly genetic and it is why it is emphasized. These were more about debunking myths we've all heard before. But I agree it should be giving more mention. It is mostly about genes than food as diets vary throughout the world.
My dad's side of family all have pretty much a full head of hair, and are all under 6' tall. The men on my mom's side however, all started balding in their teens, and are all over 6' tall. So my options were tall and bald, or short with hair. I got the tall and bald. Thanks alot Mom.
Short with thick hair Is better than tall and bald lol hahaha😂
I am 5'8 with thick hair lol
Personally I'd prefer the tall and bald. And unless you're sitting down, no one can see the top of your head anyways ;p
Short and bald lol😅
@@kailashbazala2800 Sounds awful. lol
@@lifeisoverated81 i am not bald but my grandpa is bald so will i
Bald and make no apology for it. I love being bald and only wear hats when outside for hours (see picture). My hair was thin as a child and by age 20, people would tell me I’m going bald. I waited, in excitement for many years, the day that I would be bald. Now, I’m a bald man that many women are attracted to. Not that I care. I do what I want. Stop caring what other people think, it’s not your business. Besides, they are all imperfect.
I'm starting to go balding at age 23, only have an ugly goatee, can't grow a full beard, never have a girlfriend and still a virgin, RIP.
go fucking gym and get muscle...then you will have great looking.....see the fucking the rock, and other muscular with bald head...still good right ?....dont just thing hair is everything about your looking...if you have bald...go shave and go to gym for better body, believe me you will see the different...dont just give up, me to almost bald in 30, believe me..i know how you feel....but it better to do other thing to look better than just give up and cry about not have thick hair. trust me in this one bro, bald + muscular body is really good.
@@hellboyz166 really doesn't matter if you're ripped lol you could be ripped to shreds and women will still rather choose someone with a dad bod with a thick head of hair than someone like Jason Statham lol and you could have a fit body, healthy head of hair, and STILL not get anywhere with women unless you have some sense of maturity, intelligence, and confidence. And oh! Don't forget height lol because typically women would rather be with someone taller than shorter lol so good luck if you're short, fat, and balding with no sense of intelligence and confidence. Even if you were muscular, short and bald, you'd still be struggling because women AGAIN, like TALLER guys lol
Go for the stubbly look, keep it trimmed pretty low. I've found that girls love it. You'll be lookin like The Rock in no time.
Yo man dont lose hope go to the gym and workout it will boost your confidence.
Started losing my hair at 23 but held on to it till I was 25 😅 i was indenial and started to find ways to make my hair look less thin but my family and mostly my guy friends would make fun of me until i finally shaved it off then grew a beard. But the most unbelievable thing happened. I became more confident and women found me more attractive especially cause i started working out.
Kinda sad that your family and friends would make fun
only because you worked out?
Don't let people get to you. That's bad that they make fun of you :(
lmao i know your family would roast you the most
0:07 damn, that's scary as hell. Imagine looking back of your head with mirror then realize that crap...
Better than thinning, at least you can hide a bald spot if you're frontal hairline is still normal.
IMO balding at the back of the head is better. Hats hide it, if you're tall people don't see it as much, losing the front sucks because you just end up with a massive forehead.
ALOT of people travel to Turkey to get hair-transplant. The prices is less that 50% of other places. I met like at least 50 at the airport when traveling to Athens in February.
I started losing my hair when I was 19. Almost a decade later, I'm rocking a shaved head and love it! 😀

HakuChan Yuuki it’s happens to women to

I’m always amazed how we can send men into outer space and unmanned vehicles to run on mars and yet we can seem to solve riddles that cause cancer, baldness and teeth loss and cure them. Btw I wash my hair with water and rarely use shampoo and guess what I have great hair into my 50’s whereas my co workers and other family members are balding. I therefore don’t recommend using shampoo everyday since I believe too many harsh detergents are in many products. Look at PABA which has been in sunscreen for years and now the FDA is discovering it may not be helpful. All these things come out years later
Well that's because it's all genetic's, and every time scientist start messing with genetic's everyone screams "NO YOU'RE PLAYING GOD!" and whatever they were using for their research gets shut down or banned. Cancer isn't some foreign invasive disease it's literally the body experiencing a software error and writing bad code. So if we want to cure cancer we have to play God and get into the DNA, and start changing it.
Plus what scientist to trust is tricky. For example once upon a time everyone cooked with lard and butter it makes food taste great...it's full of fat because well it is fat. So they started pushing margarine, and other butter substitutes. Years later hey guess what that stuff is terrible for you...and Lard? The fat in lard is good healthy fat that your body needs. Moral of the story...if it came out of a lab it's probably got some negative long term effects.
I had a school teacher once who had THE most full beautiful long hair a woman could possibly have. Her secret? Horse manure...yep she washed her hair with some kind of homebrew horse manure concoction.
Solving baldness can be done in two ways: studying the scalp and individual hairs - the way science does it today, promoting hair transplant or shutting down DHT production via drugs. (which is only temporary, costs money and has side effects: case&point theres a gamer called Reckful who is known for his fast reactions in game, best rogue in WOW, 290 words-per-minute , chill, noBS tyep of guy. He was balding so he attempted to take DHT-inhibitors. In a matter of weeks we turned from what he was to very bad a reaction-time (delayed), and turned very melodramatic, apologizing, crying for no reason, 3-5 times a week.) (ruclips.net/video/Gx7l2oycZGA/видео.html)
Heres reading into nervous system, fight-response and its chemical activator/catalysts (adrenaline and DHT):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system
The sympathetic nervous system is described as being antagonistic to
the parasympathetic nervous system which stimulates the body to "feed
and breed" and to (then) "rest-and-digest".
The sympathetic nervous system plays its function in preparing the whole body for action, maintaining homeostasis (constant temp overall), constriction effect used in waking up, in muscle activation, heart-rate incrs., dilating blood vessels and lung capacity. Blocking digestive, kidney and bladder function. Its in contrast with the parasympathetic which promotes digestion, rest, growth and individual organ function. The nerve-activating catalyst for sympathetic response/fight-flight is done via adrenaline or DHT. The activation of parasympathetic dilatate, relax, rest and digest auto-response is done via acetylcholine (ammonia and acetic acid)
The other way to go around DHT is to understand its function in the body and what does it react to.
DHT plays a role in the fight-or-flight mechanism activated in cases of danger-situations, when fast reaction is needed, saving lives, fast decisions. but also in keeping erections and making erections possible.
Because of this I believe DHT to be very volatile, very quick to combust and build pressure, which means it reacts to HEAT, heated environments. A male body is said to be at its most optimal at about 22Celsius, else they get more agressive/ impulsive/ VOLATILE. This is exacerbated by improper clothing societal standards which see men as wearing tight clothing, air-flow restricting pants, which negate the reason why male testicles are situated outside of the body. (to evaporate heat and humidity)
Here's a study done on teaching environments for different sexes, includes a paragraph on temperature and its effects on boys and the chemical composition involved.: boysadrift.com/ed_horizons.pdf
We can look at cultures where men used to wear mainly robes (arabs) or kilts (scotts), do they have more hair on their heads? I believe it is the case. Although arabs do tend to live in hotter climates, which negates point.
Most of the time, us in the western pants-only don't notice that our testicles are kept somtimes at >30-40C, which NEGATES the function or reason why we have the OUTSIDE of the body in the first place; they should be far below average body temp, not sitting around 40C turning the chemicals involved around adrenal/prostate and gonads volatile rather fast, especially when sweating involvedin a closed environment. The upper legs are highly vascularized esp on the inner portion where major blood vessels and femur aeorta are situated.
So there are two ways to keep DHT production in check:
Voluntarily, through mental choices: avoid stress, dangerous situations, avoid feeling emotios like despair, fear, hopelessness. (I KNOW, nigh impossible and UNPRACTICAL)
Involuntarily, at an environment level: make sure that your body is properly ventilated (by body I mostly mean the upper thigh/groin region), make sure you're not doing any heavy work in an anaerobic (low-oxygen heated) envirnoment. (hot climates have less oxygen per square meter than colder regions)
Respect the body homeostasis, don't keep one part of the body covered, pressurized at 40C while the other is exposed at 10C, the difference in temps can only get more accentuated, Instead try covering everything equally, so its sits at an average 22C.(if male, 26.5 if female)
DHT and male susceptability to heat (22C optimal environent, turning lethargic/unfocused and eventually aggressive at higher temps) boysadrift.com/ed_horizons.pdf
This video is all old information. Recent information focuses more on scalp fibrosis and calcification with a long-term adjustment method of detumescence. I was 100% MPB for a few years before finding this treatment, and am now back to 20% normal hair and 40% of the wispy hair. It's a lot of work over a long period of time, but it's as cheap as anyone could ask for.
Ty Barnes What treatment, specifcally?
Yea please tell
It's called detumescence therapy, which is daily targeted massage. Google scalp fibrosis to find various sources of info on it. I paid for the ebook from a site named perfect hair health. $50, but definitely no regrets because the technique used in the massage is as important as doing it at all, and that dude lays it out really well, and has a demo video.
Yeah man, i reversed my thinning/ balding with dethumescence therapy too. Sometimes after two days of break and not massaging/pinch my scalp, i was using warm water and was scraching my dead skin from the scalp with my nails. This process accelerated my hair regrowth.
DT is the Best thing in the world that saved my hair and my confidence, along with no porn and no masturbation.
And imagine this. All of these things are for free and they will change your life.

They technically do but the surgery is expensive however u can get a micro pigment tattoo to get youre hairline back I recommend u to check it out it looks realistic
Its nothing to do with DHT, its because of a hormone called 'prolactin'. The reason why Finasteride halts baldness is because it also raises your progesterone levels which lowers prolactin. The downside to Finasteride is the lowering of your DHT levels. Check out the series on youtube 'The male pattern baldness myth'. There are others things you can do to lower prolactin.
Nothing to do with DHT my ass. When I tried a supplement Butea Superba which increases your DHT through the roof my hair within the first week started shedding like crazy and I didn't have sensitive nipple high prolactin shit.
It's opposite actually. Progesterone increases prolactin levels. Do your own research.

My mom's dad had a full head of hair til the day he died at 85. I thought I was good. Ugh...Shit.
My grandad started balding in his 20’s, my dad in his 30’s. I was fortunate. I didn’t start losing hair until my late 40’s. I didn’t wait, I started using Rogaine and it stopped it from falling out. I’m 53 now and have just the slight thinning at the crown which hasn’t gotten any worse since I started using it. Of course I’m going to have to use the Rogaine indefinitely.

Finasteride will keep ur hair. It blocks 70% of DHT. I was losing a lot of hair 2 years a go and i was thinking the same as a lot of the comments here. But afterall finasteride helped me a lot getting my hair back im good shape. And nowadays i cant even remember that i was going bald before.

Cons: Looks, cold at winter if I don't wear a hat
@rorz yes and yes,
but you get used to it, especially if you're like me and you lost it while you were young
@rorz i know that might be upseting but it is not a big deal.if you already have low self esteem it may hurt you.
personally i was really upset about it when it happened because i was a good looking guy and young and i was in denial and I even wanted to get a transplant surgery when i was 24. nowadays if someone would offer me a hair transplant surgery for free i would still refuse it.
i figured out that being a man is not about the looks. being bald is a normal thing for a man. if you start losing your hair just trim it down or shave it. you don't even have to grow a beard- look at zinedine zidane, he looks better without hair than with it,,, if you still haven't lost your hair there maybe are ways to save it,, I won't give you advice on that because I personally tried many things and nothing worked. the best thing you can do if you go bald is to embrace it and stay confident.

I think that we lose our hair because early humans (probably Homo Erectus who lived around 2 million years ago) were so primitive and they never cut their hair and having a lot of long, dirty, heavy hair hanging down your back (probably down to your waist) put a lot of pressure on the hair follicles along the hairline. Over time (millions of years), there was a genetic mutation to reduce the pressure on the hair follicles along the hairline.
Possible...where did you read this?
@@coolmanwalking8476 Nowhere. It's just my suspicion.
I started receding at 18. Spent in excess of £1k on various products trying to delay, to no avail. Shaved that shit off at 21.
I would love to have a dense head of hair again, but I know it's not possible.
On the plus side, there's no need for shampoo, and drying after a shower is so much easier. Save a fortune on haircuts too 😂
Got to laugh or you'll cry.
6:49 Lmao I didn‘t expect to laugh at that
I lost hair on my head, but I grew more hair out of my ears and nose so I guess it's all even in the end.
Ahhaahhahaahhahaha
15 year old with thinning receding hair here
same fr
same bro im scared 😭
Can’t beat the time test... just do whatever my bald friends didn’t get to do when they had air like dreads and rows lol
Don't worry brothers... Don't think anything about too much.. Cuz actually no one cares.. Its your life you have to live it.. Don't worry about hair loss..
@@Ggtg34 yeah i am also 24 and all upper front hair are receding and now i dont care much bcoz i am not only the one there are millions ....
Really harsh condition in boys life dont even want to see own face in mirror
Sex can lead to baldness, if you're with a woman who likes to pull out your hair 😂

Balding is just brutal. No sugar coating it.
'NO SUGAR COATING' !! This line gave too much exact dimension to the condtion. Means you can't prevent it.
Yes, but it is such a common issue that you shouldn't feel like all eyes are on you. It affects almost 100 percent of men from certain parts of the world to varying degrees. Even men with full sets of hair still has thinner hair at the crown but you just can't see it as easily if their hair is somewhat long.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 I know you're trying to help, but this is like saying "don't focus on the knife twisting into your back, everyone goes through it, so it's not a big deal."
I lost my hair in a shaving accident.
Receding is better than thining
I have both lol
MY started thining 😢
I am 53 and have a full head of hair. My dad lost his hair on the crown of his head. My older brother did the same with a small balding patch at the back of his head. My younger brother by 2 years is now almost bald except for a small strip around his head just above his ears. But, my grandfather on my mothers side died at 86 years old with a full head of red hair. What is different between my dad, my both brothers and me?? I've never been overweight and I have never been on blood pressure medication. Both my brothers and my father were on blood pressure medication for being near or greater than 300lbs. I myself never cracked 215lbs. Currently I'm 6'1" and fluctuate between 175lbs and 180lbs.
And as a matter of fact at 42, I went to see the doctor because of the flu I couldn't shake and he told me that he wanted to start me on blood pressure medication because at a resting heart rate my blood pressure was in the danger zone. I looked at him and said... "Ahh... No". He said that I could have a heart attack in 6 months or less. I told him I would do something but didn't know what. He gave me a prescription anyway. Never filled it. I found a bicycle and started riding everyday and lost 45lbs in 4 months, the key was everyday. I really don't eat unhealthy but I refuse to eat rabbit food. The video does mention vitamins and I have taken vitamin b6 and b12 along with vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin E daily since I was 26. I still ride a bicycle daily now and even commute to work with it. I rode a total of 7007 miles in 2018 and are maintaining a healthy weight. I do wash my hair daily as if I didn't my hair becomes unmanageable and decides to do its own thing.
So, I do believe that hair loss is controllable, but you alone are responsible for your health. And the better health your body is in, the better health your hair will be in too. Both brothers of mine and my father got winded walking up a flight of stairs. I have no problems. I often have people try to guess my age and most people guess 36 to 40. Nobody believes me when I say 53 and have to show my drivers license as proof.
Nathan Woodruff that’s the key! Maintain a healthy lifestyle(with or without supplements) and take care of your body. Exercising is also very important. Also, don’t believe everything what doctors say..
Definitely believeable, I'm only 24 and hairy as fuck but I see it in my older family member on both sides. The unhealthier ones hairlines receed or thin at an earlier age.
It *can* be health related, but as a for instance, my cousin started losing his hair starting at 16. Yet he is one of the most physically active and health aware people I know. He eats well, exercises a lot, and attends to his mental health far more than most people. Yet by the time he was 20 he had a big bald patch and had receded very far.
Pretty sure that DHT is the culprit, as he has a lot of other very masculine traits like a beard that is crazy thick, bristly and healthy, and a very deep voice.
The thing is many women prefer this, and when he was in his late 20's he shaved his head entirely. It was at this point that a lot of women became attracted to him in a Very big way. I'm certain this has far more to do with his confidence though, when he let go of the hair being so important, everyone saw his confidence go way up.
I cannot stress this enough (even though we've all been saying it for decades, if not centuries):*confidence is king.* But it's very important to know that cockiness is the exact opposite of confidence. Many men and women mistake one for the other, that's one of the reasons why you find so many women in abusive relationships.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 Hey Aylbdr... You should look into your cousin. I had a friend in his 30's start taking illegal steroids and became really bulked up in about 6 months. Yet a year after he started taking steroids he was completely bald. I would bet good money your cousin is doing the exact same thing.
As for women in abusive relationships, women love the very masculine traits that steroids produce. Then once she has dug her claws into him, she wants to change the man to not have those traits in him because she doesn't want any other women digging claws in him. He resents her for trying and once that trait is no longer there, she leaves him. It is not his fault she is in an abusive relationship that she started the abuse in. AND if you are... I would take a very good look at yourself.
19:38 "Own it", that's all you need from this video.
Don't get attached to your hair and don't let your confidence and identity be influenced by hairloss...
"Own it" That's all you need from this video. Don't get too attached to your teeth and don't let your confidence and identity be influenced by toothloss. Just smile and show your broken apart teeth to the world. Nobody cares bro.
Mine was gone by 20, thin at 16,
Me too. A big bald spot. Oh well. Shave it off and carry on
I don't have a bald spot ,I have an anti-"man bun"
If I lost my hair I would shave it and be like WHAT!?
If I was going bald, I’d rather just shave everything
@@matrixsteve652 i do that, balding is natural we should embrace it, its was never a problem until it got commercialized by doctors and marketing folks
Talha Khan true, it was also proven that being bald would have your senses increased, that hair would get in the way of when objects would be thrown at you, being bald is not bad but rather good if you like to be aware of your surroundings
@@matrixsteve652 Brah!
Skip the first 6 minute to see what you clicked for. THE "CAUSES"
Thank you!
This video was really good :) but some parts were more HOW we bald and not why.
That's because we don't yet know why. Knowing why would be a huge step towards a treatment.
I'm 15 and scared
you may have every right to be, as i'm sure i once saw a programme saying the only men safe from baldness for certain were eunuchs, pisspoor swap.
Then how are there so many homeless men with amazing hair??!! Lots of sebum there
If theres any answers to that, I'd love to know please !!!
No kidding. Freaking Keith Richards.
Best video on baldness on RUclips
I think men in generally neglect skincare which plays a huge part IMO, I found that essential oils do wonders for the skin and hair.
Being bald is being awesome
Just look at vin diesel, Jeff bezos , the rock and Johnny sins
Paul Robert, Jason Statham was another bald front man for hair loss we use in the video
Yeah great, now all I need is the ridiculous amount of money those guys have and the ladies will still love me.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge Or start working out and don't spend a ton of money
+my life is NOT getting better
I worked physical labor most of my life, I'm relatively well-built already. And matter of fact I ain't bald yet at 33, while pretty much every other male in my family was bald by their mid 20's.
And spending money ain't gonna be a problem, I'm poor as fuck anyway, so my dashing good looks is the only thing I got going for me.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge Don't worry, there are still plenty of good women out there who don't necessarily always look at your money as long as you can support her and be of good character
I took a closer look into the Edinburgh studies. It showed that while many of the genes responsible for MPB are located on the X chromosome, not all people who had high levels of them expressed the trait themselves (to a great extent at least), and scientists used that discovery as an example to conclude that there's no accurate way to predict hair loss. I felt like that could've been explained better in the video.
If my hair goes back any further il be combing my arse
part it under yer arm, or grow yer eyebrows longer.
Cause life aint fair ...😞
Man i noticed my balding when i was in high school, but as larry david said "anyone with a full head of hair can be confident, but a confident bald man theres your diamond in the rough"
Don't use styling at all! Why would you even want to??
I never did. (I always washed my hair every or every other day, though). And at 62 I still have a full head of hair, apart from a very moderately receding hairline.
Unlike my maternal grandfather who was very bald when he died of lung cancer at 49
(so much for inheriting baldness from you mother's father).
Does that mean then that smoking causes baldness? Hardly, since my dad smoked for decades and still kept his big curly mane all his life, although it had thinned some when he died at 82.
By the way, women don't necessarily consider baldness unattractive, so don't worry too much about hairloss.
Thanks pa
im bald and dont give a damm about my head feel more great then when i had hair
nah i rather end my life than go bald
If am going to turn bold like my dad I will blame him for the rest of his life.
🤷🏼♀️😂
bald
😂😂😂😂
My hair growth formula is alcohol based, it's called Jack Daniels.
I'm 23 looks like 40 with my thinning hair. No beard though. I wouldn't give a fuck if i had a full beard.
I started losing hair when I was around 16. I've got the hairline of an 80 year old now and a full beard at the age of 27. I've been this bald for a few years now. Just been shaving my head. I'm certainly happy I have a full beard, but it's no replacement for a bald head. I wouldn't trade my beard for a full head of hair, though. I would like to have a full head of hair though. That's not going to happen though.
Thats just sad man, I started growing a beard at age 14, and started getting a bald patch at age 19. Y
Same I noticed hair falling out at 16 and at 19 I still have hair but it’s thinned out a bit and my hair lines pretty jacked up, it’s only a little bit longer before my big secret is out
Let me make this easy. Why do we go bald? Answer: Fucking luck
Shitty genetics
@@saljpal3 Correction. Shitty hair gene genetics🤣🤣🤣🤣
Genetics
My maternal grandfather was bald as a cueball. Im 100% fked.
There’s still hope if you got your grandmas X chromosome then you may not bald.
I'm 40 and I'm bald and I don't care.
That’s the attitude. 👍
Losing hair in your 20s sucks and then you are glad you are bald with a shaved head.
O yes you do.
It's like a fat girl weighing 800 pounds saying:
' I am a land whale, and I weigh 5000 pounds and I don't care'.
Hehe I'm fit good looking nice groomed. So I don't give a ...
Once a teacher told us, there is only one thing which stops falling hair !!!
Everyone stopped writing and listened carefully...
"Floor" he said 🤣
Here's my theory about balding. 1. Testosterone, is a necessary hormone and is essential for muscle growth and strength. 2. Stress, causes you to become tense and tighten certain muscles commonly but not only in the face and head area. 3. Posture, poor posture tightens certain muscles which, with correct posture would not be tightened. Especially with people who live a sedentary life, the muscles at the back of the head will tighten to keep the head facing horizontally. 4. Magnesium supplements, have been shown to decrease the rate of balding and is known to be a muscle relaxant. 5. Peppermint essential oil, has been shown to be more effective at reducing the rate of balding in men compared to Minoxidil a anti-hypertensive vasodilator medication. Peppermint is known to be an effective muscle-relaxant and stress-releiver. 6. DHT, like testosterone is essential in the development of muscles, blocking DHT then causes decreased muscle-growth. 7. Scalp massages have been shown to increase hair-growth, but not reliably. 8. Botox injections to the brow area have been shown to increase hair-growth as an unintentional side-effect.
Based on this, my theory is as follows. Chronic activity in muscles at the brow area, scalp and back of the head create a situation similar to a swimming cap which prevent hair from receiving the nutrients it needs. This is caused by, stress, poor posture and poor nutrition. The genetic link then would be your propensity to become stressed. However more importantly, the way you deal with stress and how well you take care of your body which are epigenetic factors, not genetic. In otherwords, if your parents did not deal with stress well and caused them to go bald, you will likely not be able to deal with stress well because you've not been taught how to do so.
Now, consider the fact that the hair-loss industry is worth 4 Billion annually they have no incentive to tell you about this. Also consider that, in the worst case none of this will work, but at least you're decreasing stress, correcting your posture and eating healthy. Which has benefits across the spectrum.
you know whats crazy about your theory is i literally have felt and came to the near same conclusions you pointed out about stress, posture, and how it tenses ur muscles, i started smoking weed this year as an adult and it defintely increased my mind muscle connection and have felt how my body reacts to stress via my muscles, and have felt when im in a more relaxed enviroment my posture looks more healthy and my body feels more comfortable, and have also noticed the link you pointed out about neck and the back of your head muscles
@@fishshit Personally I meditate instead of smoking weed, both will suffice in breaking the focus on thought. I have my own idea about what certain sages meant by "opening your third eye". I believe that the third eye is said to be situated slightly above the brow area because that's where most of the tension goes when you're stressed, thinking excessively or angry. So that "opening" it simply means releasing the tension at the brow area so that you're focusing on what's going on around you again. Same goes for the crown area of the head, I feel most of the tension I have is stored there along with the brow area. That's why relieving stress, either through weed or another means is the way to go.
I hope that becoming more aware of your muscle tension will help you out. Good day my dude!
I have had success fighting my bald patch style hair loss by doing these four things. Some of which you do not cover in your video. I take Finasteride which is actually incredibly cheap for me in the US. I buy the generic and I have to split the pill into four pieces but it's cheap. I use minoxidil (Rogaine) which blows my mind that this wasn't brought up in the video as it is so popular and has been used for a long time (no matter if it works or not, it should of been mentioned). I take Biotin supplements, which was mentioned but not as a stand alone supplement. I also use Nioxin shampoo and conditioner, which goes against your claim that shampoos don't work. I am no expert but a googled it and found at least one blinded study that supported their claim.
I am not trying to be too critical, I actually really enjoyed your video and learned a lot. I think if you included some of those things I mentioned (even if they need to be debunked or not) this could be the most informative video on the internet about hair loss. I learned a lot about the hair growth and hair loss process, loved the visualizations of the process. I learned I need to wash my hair more often because I do think I have a higher production of Sebum, so this was great information. Also the tip on the hair dryer over towel was nice. Great video!
Mimoxidil is highly toxic. And doesnt work if you dont use it anymore. I bought it once but never tested it because its highly toyix for cats. Even smelling it for them is bad
I'm going to back you up, Rogaine was amazing! But for the time I used it, It makes your hair grow like crazy so long as you keep up using it daily, the second i stopped supplying it, my hair started to thin again. Biotin is pretty safe tho and quite helpful, I'll have to try that!
@@Eseckiels Ya Minoxidil at 100% is not good for you, which is the same with most drugs. When diluted at 2-5%, it's perfectly safe. Pretty sure the FDA would nip that in the bud if it was unsafe. Besides there would be widespread cases of minoxidil poisoning based on how popular it is, if what you were saying were the case.
why did the pattern balding evolve though what's the reason/benefit from it happening
I know, not a single benefit probably only keeping your head cooler if you live in a hot desert but if you don't then is useless
Just a mutation that didn't kill us off, I speculate.
Evolution isn't progress or improvement through the generations (though that can definitely happen), it's just diversity through the generations.
Some traits that arise through mutations are beneficial, some are detrimental, and some don't really do much.
Since hair loss wasn't so detrimental as to kill off those who had it, it's a trait that would continue as long as those people bred.
Vitamin D would be my guess, as most people are in severe deficit in the north where i live (scandinavia). another factor is simply regression, a trait that is no longer necessary or superflous in our current environment (like cave lizards losing their eyes after generations in perfect darkness, etc)
genetics determine how long u keep your hair and hormone levels. things like using conditioner and things like that dont help your hair grow or keep it. that is below the skin line
If my dad Is bald and my moms dad has a full head of hair, am I going bald?

In South Africa a 6 month supply will cost you $72 for finasteride, I'm guessing the $360 are in USA.
I got the best of both worlds, I am short & scrawny AND my hair is thinning out. 👌
The fact is, that there are women out there (and men) who prefer those traits. It may not be popular for them to express this, but it is simply a fact. Have you never wondered what a women see's in a certain man that *seems* to have traits that are *considered by the mainstream* as unattractive?
I'm the same
