Hey! Were you about to leave a comment before finishing the video? Might I suggest not doing that? Ok great thanks!
I often start my comment mid video and edit it as I watch the video 😬 I always watch until the end. Adorable kids Jesse, it’s fun how you work family into your videos. Luckily you look good with short hair dude. My good buddies are all bald and they rock it well.
Nice outro song though.
I have to say that your daughter is so freaking cute.
All the best great video 👍🏻
Not trying to be creepy! Please note
I often reply as I'm watching too , else I forget what I was going to say !
@@outbackchillin5628 same reason.
"This is what I look like, and that's ok" 🖤😭 I think we could all benefit from telling ourselves this more often. This was awesome Jesse.
A good friend of mine taught herself to enjoy eating coconut by forcing herself to eat it and repeating "this is what coconut tastes like, and thats ok" and I apply that to as many different aspects of life as I can now. :)
@@JesseDriftwood whaaaaat, humans can do that? I need to try with beetroots!
@@kamilkurek1480 I love that beets taste like dirt haha! It’s so strange it makes me feel like I’m eating healthy lol
Yeah I want to get there. Thanks a lot jessie
@@kamilkurek1480 i started liking beetroots when i felt compelled to convince some kid that beetroot was good when they said it sucked, even though i hated beetroot. was a weird moment lmao
I really appreciate your honesty and not selling out to companies to give us a true product review. Thank you.
Same!!!
Yeah I was pretty tempted after watching Dr Dray & Cassandra Bankson but.... was very skeptical.
Thank you, Jesse. You know how to tap into all the right feels. Appreciate you, bro!
Love you dude!
you're so wholesome jesse! I've been struggling with loosing my hair and I'm 23. It took me awhile to get over the fact that its happening and I would say that I am still not fully over it, but videos like this make it easier. Thank you :)
I will continue watching your videos with or without your hair. You’re a fantastic storyteller and I really love the effort you put into yourself. You’re definitely among my favorite channels.
Going through the same process myself (hair thinning) and I can’t tell you how inspiring this was. It takes a hell of a lot of courage to lean into what is a very common and natural process for most men and to speak openly & honestly about it with complete strangers. Thank you for helping to normalize this, Jesse. 🙏🏽
any updates? How’s ur hair doing
@@swaaglingyeah I want to know as well
Did not expect to watch a hair restoration review tonight, but here we are lol. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride Jesse. As a fellow balding guy it’s always a nice reminder that we are more than our hair.
Top shelf storytelling as always. Will need your song at the end on Spotify.
No, YOU’RE GREAT with or without YOUR hair. We love ya just the way you are.
"This is what I look like and that's OK" I resonated with that! Vlogging has really helped me to view myself as (I think) others see me. I don't think about what I'm wearing or my hair or if I have make up on. That's just what I look like in that moment. I was wondering if other people felt that way.
As another younger person who is struggling with hair loss, I really appreciate your openness to talk about it and accept it. It runs in my family and I am slowly accepting it. I still wear a lot of hats to try and cover it up, and I think shaving my head might help me accept it. Thanks as always, love your storytelling.
I'm going to watch the rest of this... but I don't need to to decide to hit the like button... that intro is fantastic. I remember my son 'bringing' me packages when he was younger in a very similar way (he turns 18 this year). absolutely fantastic moments. Thanks for all you do and share! It DOES make a difference and have an influence on the community here.
I for real love your videos Jesse. I can’t put it into words but there’s just a good feeling that emits from all your content. I am a fan for as long as you continue to put out content.
I started to notice my own hair loss in my wedding photos 9 years ago. My brother-in-law then bluntly stated “You are not fooling anyone.” I’ve been shaving my head every since but I still wear a hear or beanie in most of my videos just to not have the comments. I love not having to worry about keeping up with it and the ease of just shaving it but there are still those moments where the thoughts creep in. Thanks for the video!
That was a cheeky hidden message lurking in the video mate. Expertly done. One request: please do a video where you make the most of shaving your head and get some pro to do some of that crazy art in your hair
Some relatable storytelling right here - amazing
This is the kind of review that I really appreciate. Real life experience with a product. Much appreciated! Love that you included your beautiful children.
Loved that ending bro great storytelling!
Don't let anyone tell you it's no big deal or try to minimize your feelings about hair loss. Acceptance takes time. Our appearances help us form our identities, and society is a little too flippant about men who are experiencing hair loss. I'm glad you gave this a try because, if nothing else, the process will help inform your future choices about this topic and might even allow for a level of comfort with your "new" look. I went through a similar experience when my beard went full Gandalf on me (white) over less than a year from black-brown. Great experiment and video, Jesse. All the best.
You’re such a gem of a person. Keep being you brother
Jesse, I feel for you bud! I started losing my hair in my early 20's and it really destroyed my confidence. I just lived in hats & caps forever until I decided to bite the bullet and get a hair transplant, and honestly it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. My hairline has been restored and now 12months post op you'd never be able to tell! In terms of non-surgical approaches, I've had great success restoring hair on my crown taking Finasteride and Minoxidil, it takes a while to kick in but it really works!
@TruthUnleashed Hair transplant to rebuild my hairline at the front and I started taking Finasteride and Minoxidil to treat my crown which was thinning. It was all fine and 2 years post op now with no visible balding :)
@@D4N30 Did you experience any side effects after using finasteride?
@@jonrenzmaterdo1467 I've not experienced any side effects from Finasteride
@@jonrenzmaterdo1467some people dont get side effects so dont let this scare u but unfortunately it totally castrated my ex bf. I started wondering if he was bi or gay (he was not) and his dick got smaller and was never fully erect. His hair was magnificant after his hair transplant and fin, but it totally destroyed his sex drive but he preferred that to being bald because it didnt suit him so I get it. I’m also losing my hair and its hard when ur ugly bald. I know it was the fin for a fact because he would stop taking it sometimes for periods of time and his dick would go back to normal and same with his sex drive. So please guys dont torture ur gf’s if u go on fin with ur low sex drives cuz its obvious. Also it did scare me that it might turn men gay overtime from what I experienced. It was like he was gay on fin straight off it I swear to God lmao. When he was taking fin he didnt even like pussy when he stopped taking it he loved it like wtf bro why did the meds do that 😂😂😂😂😂
@@D4N30 What is your dosage of Finasteride?
*sneezes* "OUCH, I hurt my hemmoroid" - J. Driftwood (2021)
Your REVIEW is IMPORTANT to me, because you're HONEST and easy to understand. I TRULY THANK YOU! I may need to accept my hair loss circumstance that resemble your own.
Brother, I lost my hair at 21, started shaving my head and never looked back. Now I shave it cue ball every other day. If there was a miracle cure tomorrow I wouldn't take it. All the best mate
But your watching a vid on hair growth...interesting
I can’t pinpoint exactly why but this video rocks. Just so different than your usual content but also not really. I really appreciate and dig the openness and vulnerability here. Great stuff, Jesse.
Thanks Jesse, I admire your storytelling skills and ethics of product reviews. Thanks again you are definitely a cool person and brain in the body and maybe a soul.
I'm 31, as a teen I had a lot of hair, in the past 5 years I've been shaving every week because I really like the result. But since quarentining I decided to not shave and now I can clearly see how bald I am.
This video hit quite close, and it's great to see other's perspectives on this. Thanks for that, you look great with or without hair.
I remember being where you were bro... it is hard so I feel your pain. Shave it and be free my friend! :)
The hair in your heart couldn't be more full. Love your work man!
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.
Thanks for this. Just what I needed. Shaving my head this weekend!
Get it Jimmy!!!!
Your house looks amazing! You guys did such a good job :) also love the dad tee
I love your honesty!
4:49 is perhaps one of my all time favorite moments ever, thank you for the impeccable edit. 🤜🏻🤛🏽
I've always hoped we would reach a point where creators could break out of their niche and offer their experience on something different. You have used cameras and filmmaking to bridge your unique personality to others. And now that we are here, I'm confident you can talk to me about a laser hat scam or uncrustables, or whatever.
Also, as someone who's been sans hair for a few years now, anything that normalizes hair loss is pure gold to me. Because frankly, most stigmas, pressures, awkward tensions etc. are predominantly put upon those losing their hair by others. People who instinctively assume there's a big deal here without our input.
Someone with hair loss is just the person they were with hair, for better or worse.
And finally much love to those identifying more feminine dealing with hair loss, as the stresses and pressures are exponential. You're beautiful, too!
you look cool both with and without hair so nothing to worry about man! Don't stress it and keep killing it!
"I wanna look inside your helmet" 🤣😂 the assistant is so cute!!!
Loved the honest review. You are an amazing person irrespective of your hair😍
scalp micro needling or derma rolling is the best way to grow back hair. must be done properly though, at the same time increase intake of Gelatin, collagen , Silica , vitamin Bs and keratin supplements.
I got a cheap Walmart cap version of this, and it's actually working (not by a lot, and it's only been a month), but it's only 90 bucks vs. 1k+. I also dermal roller, use drops, and a shampoo, so that might be why it is working out better. Either way, I hope to keep seeing improvements.
I loved this video! When you dont talk about filmmaking your filmmaking skills shine the most :D
Hope this one gets more recognition than "camera videos" so it would motivate you to make more personal videos
You look badass without hair, Bald Jesse FTW!
YES!! 😃🙏🏼
The hardest part of going bald for me has been watching it steadily happen on video. Filming myself and editing videos of myself constantly showed me. I was taking screenshots and showing friends like “look how bald I’m going”. Until I just shaved it and haven’t looked back. I notice it still in the shaved head, but I don’t focus on it anymore. I’m freer and much happier personally. My hair doesn’t define me. Ha
Losing hair is giving me depression. No matter how many ppl say encouraging things, it still sucks. I’m taking dutasteride now so hopefully my hair will grow back. 😢
Thank you so much for your honesty. Much appreciated.
There's a very common misconception when it comes to irestore. You need to used it before your hair follicles die off. Once they die they will never grow back no matter what product you use. It should help him keep the hair he has not grow the hair follicles you lost years ago. When you shaved your head I could tell that your hairline was further back and most likely those hairs follicles are gone already unfortunately they won't come back. Try micro needling and the laser and hopefully you can keep it
Hey! Thanks for the comment. I’ve had this deep hairline since early high school (15 years or so) so I had no thoughts that might change. Unfortunately the irestore marketing heavily leans in and in fact encourages that misconception. They frequently share videos and testimony of regenerating hair growth. I’m also fine believing that it does in fact work for some people, I’m just not one of them.
I was just gonna comment and say he should try micro needling with the laser I guarantee he get better results just because the dermaroller opens new hair follicles while the laser makes new ones
@@JesseDriftwood Minoxidil (Rogaine) and this might help then. I plucked my eyebrows to the point they wouldn't grow back again in many places, and I thought they were gone forever. Used Minoxidil on them, and the hair follicles woke up after abut 4 months. Stopped the minoxidil years ago, but kept the eyebrows :)
This is not completely true. How can you explain the phenomenon where when balding men with dead follicles undergo a sex change they get back all their lost hair?
@@Way_Of_The_Light in simple terms if the hair follicle is dead you’re not really reviving it. But in some rare cases, people with severe balding have hair follicles that for some reason our dormant and are not dead. For those lucky few if they happen to get on hormone therapy as a transgender person or even in very very few cases people who try low level laser therapy who have already significantly, balded will in fact grow backhair.
But don’t be fooled, if the follicles are dormant, you have a chance of restoring that hair. If the follicles are dead, that’s it for that hair.
words of wisdom at the end. I thought this was a review video but then it became empowering and all the things
Something important for anyone watching is the key culprits and solutions for each individual is gonna vary. Some people may experience great results using red light because their problem probably had something to do with scalp circulation and or poor blood quality, on that coin some people see a return of hair by simply consuming zink, selenium, curcumin, Vitamins D3 and C. Stressers play a huge role as well, endocrine disruptors such as chlorine (in the water you bathe), or emotional factors alone can spike cortisol on a chronic level leading to hair loss.
Don't be discouraged if one method doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean It doesn't work for everyone, and it doesn't mean something else won't work for you. You gotta experiment with yourself across the board to find your solutions, could it be A LOT of work for some? Yes, but be encouraged and experiment.
Hey Jesse! I've never noticed your hair before and only ever really noticed your creative skill and fun personality in videos! But now that you mention it, the buzz/bald look really suits you though! Own it dude!
Love the vibe! I've justified so many purchases because I'm a RUclipsr.
Also, I spy the Simone Everyday Calendar!
Haha yes! I love it sooo much!
When i turned 30 i gave up on trying to save my hair. Spent enough money on products to bring it back but it never worked. decided to go full bold with a beard and I'm super happy I went this route. Ive grown it out a bit to see how bad its gotten and I'm glad I settled for the bold look
Thanks for sharing your experience. New cut looks good! I can relate, I've been buzzing my hair most of this year too. Feels great :) haha
I’m going through the process of losing my hair and this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. Thank you Jesse
Did anything work for you?
Hair transplant is the only way to go if you want results. From my personal experience, my hair thinned drastically from age 36. 46 now, I just shave my head on a grade 2 and focus on the important things in life. You have a good shaped head Jesse, I’d just keep it shaved if what you have currently bothers you. I think you’re awesome; you have a beautiful family and that’s all that really matters.
I’m 36(about to be 37 next week). Just noticed thinning by my left temple and I’m panicking. I will look awful bald, I have moles on my head. Idk what to do. But the only thing I can see when I look in the mirror is thinning.. I don’t even think it’s that bad yet but it looks worse everyday to me. I don’t think there is a doctor in the world who would do a transplant this early into losing hair. I don’t notice any shedding at all in the shower. I don’t know how to go about it, if I can just do something to make it stop where it is now i would be okay. Any suggestions? I see my dermatologist in a week and a half for other reasons so I was going to ask her as well, but I keep feeling like my hair is going to be really bad by the time I get there because every time I look at it I feel like it’s worse and worse(idk if that’s in my head or what).
@@ryanmarvell793 the truth is, you care and 99% of everyone else doesn’t. I’d just shave it off now. Everyone will get used to it, as will you.
You look amazing bro and your spiritual growth during this process is even more amazing 😭🙏
thanks for the honesty and great video. its a struggle getting used to hairloss, only those experiencing can understand. i felt uplifted at the end
Such a cool video. Love your home! It's very stylish. Also, she's natural! And hello from someone who is shaving weekly since 23 or so.
As a 22 year old losing his hair, I’m happy to see the insecurity that can come from that isn’t just a me thing. Also thanks for trying something that was difficult to use and may or may not work and full sending it. Appreciate the review. Maybe I’ll try Hims, another hair product, shave my head, make a video about it, and in the end, be able to look at myself and realize, this is what I look like, and that’s ok.
I started at 15. By 18 had dracula hairline and 4 inch bald spot on back.
Im 55 now, chrome dome. The womens love me, i mean the biggest hurdle is your own self image.
@@illegallystalked3119 Thank you for this :)
Gotta say, I always like your videos, but I have never laughed as much as I did this time around. I really want to be a "RUclipsr"/vlogger and you are such an inspiration and I learn so much from you. This video really shows that no matter which camera you use or how good or bad the picture quality is, it is the content that matters the most. So your loosing your hair! That doesn't´t matter - your a good looking guy and your content is always great. Keep up the good work :)
Wow it really worked for me and my husband I was super impressed. We got the cheaper one but it works great and I have all new hair growing everywhere and my husband who was spotty bald is so happy with the growth and health of his hair. Totally recommend!
Hi,
Please what is the name of the one you used.
Thank you for this video. It all started for me as well 4 years ago. The hair are going away. But as you said don't let the hair define you. That's the motto I'm trying to live by. The thing is that nature will let us get used with our selves even without hair. Stay positive and creative!
Lost my hair at 25 and went through similar steps attempting treatments. I gotta say, that moment when you graduate from crew cut and run the razor blade down the center of your head is very special and terrifying. Immediately after you've started, you realize you can't turn back.
It looks mediocre until you get a bit of a tan and the colour evens out.
Great vlog! Your son's reaction to shaving off your hair is priceless!
Really "Consumer Experience" only applies when a product does not fully deliver...
Case and point: If a once per month skunk spray treatment was 100% effective to produce a full head of amazing thick hair we would see a spike in tomato juice sales and some people disappearing for a few days per month with zero explanation. 🤣
Great video, man!! Thanks a lot
Thanks for the honesty!
Great video man. Its a very touchy subject to cover so good on you for coning and saying about it. Massive respect. My thoughts on this is just let the hair go. Basically none of these "remedies" work. You look great as you are man. You look great with a shaved head. More people need to realise this. Being a great person is worth way more then just trying to look perfect. Like I said great video man.
Hey dude I have never seen any of your content before I don't know who you are and I came across this video I did watched all of it and to be honest with you I did like it because you sounded real and honest I do appreciate that. Keep up the good work 👏 👍
I have the same issues with loosing hairs in the past 18months... I thought about this kind of helmet but I've afraid of cons of that laser activity since I had a tumor on my brain when I was 22 and I really don't want to get back to that mess in my life :/
I've been following you for a while now, but I haven't seen your daughter much. She's adorable haha Seems like you two have a great relationship haha
I appreciate the thoroughness of your review. Thank you!
"and a soul maybe, who knows! Not me" Great video!
I've been missing your content man!
Dude the struggle is real for me too. On the hair drugs now myself
love you dude! I think that shaved look actually suits you well
Best review! best attitude and your kids!!! adorable ❤
I appreciate you not taking the affiliate pay, a lot of product reviewers lie to their audience to please a manufacturer. You are the GOAT, who needs hair when you have beautiful kid(s) and are doing well in life
Honest and cool video and review. ❤❤❤
I have this I restore since March 2017, I usually use it every day for 25 minutes. I think it had helped me keep my hair.
Thank you so much for this honest review! It seems a lot of the social media around this device is sponsored content with bogus claims, thank you for telling us like it is and saving us $$$.
you are always such a positive person, almost so much I want to hate it (prob out of jealousy), but I just can't, you deserve it ... great vid and such insights..
Thanks for the honest review. Every once in awhile I go into deep research on hair loss protocols and I am always tempted by these helmets. I lost nearly all my hair from age 20 to 23, but was an amazing responder to finasteride. That, combined with a hair transplant had me at a point where I forgot all about hair loss. Now I'm approaching 32 and despite staying religious with fin, I'm mysteriously noticing an increase in shedding and a decrease in my hair density. I'm pretty scared and I hope I can accept it like you were able to. In the meantime I've ordered some ketoconazole shampoo that has a few other helpful ingredients and I'm hoping all my body needs is a bit of a 'nudge' to pause my hair loss completely again. Am I comfortable feeling like my fate lies in a shampoo? No, but I'm going to remain positive as possible for now, and just see what happens.
Dude, i went to an actual Doctor and he did recommend the LaserCap with additional things like Shampoo, conditioner to help hair growths. Supplement Pills and Finasteride prescription.
Just go to a Doctor and talk to him, don’t waste time watching videos on YT cuz the laser treatment is not for everyone. This is for people who had cancer and need help growing volume on their scalp or people like me who have very minor symptoms of hair-loss in some areas.
My case is not drastic but possibly starting which is what i want to avoid from getting worst.
Did you try rogaine topical?
Lol. I love how you demonstrated what kind of boop boop noise it should make in lieu of the shrieking beep. XD
Love this! Thanks Jesse 🥰
Thank you so much Jesse! Very empowering video!
Genius review. Using it and love your opinion on your experience
I’ve been losing my hair since I was also around 17. I decided to shave my head entirely when I was around 24/25. I’m 28 now and to tell you the truth, I’ve never felt looking better than ever. Hahaha I’d be more conscious if I start losing my beard.
Thanks for this. I lost my hair at like 26. I was someone that like it long. I have accepted being bald (i use a razor) but every few years I check if any discovery has been made. I doubt I'll ever have hair.
I can always count on Jesse for an honest review. And that's why I bought a onewheel
Well I’m no expert but, did you use something to block the androgens that cause hair loss? cause other wise no hair growth product will work.
Thank you so very much for your honesty because I was just about to waist money that I really don’t have to waist that way so thank you!!!❤️🙏🏽👍🏽💯
Thanks Jesse, I've been having a tough time coming to grips with the fact that my hairline has been a receding tide.
Does it come in black?
Just saw. Yes it does. Still don’t want it.
I tell you all this is a real struggle and am going through it right. It's just really difficult for me to come to terms with it so am constantly looking for a solution and I just hope one day I get to accept it that this is me now
Honestly, You look absolutely great without hair Jesse. Stay cool!
So I'm at the end of my trail period and I wasn't sure about the progress. I used to miss somedays because I was traveling or some other reasons. Now they are offering me 50% if I keep it which would be $477. Is it worth that amount? Because they keep saying even if it doesn't regrow it will reduce hairfall.
Finally an honest review of this product!!! All the others on RUclips are shills where the company offered free stuff. I've used the helmet for a year -- I didn't notice any difference. Not worth the price!! When I left a negative review on Amazon, the company actually contacted me via email to remove the review for a complete refund. How they tracked down my email is a mystery! But that explains all the positive reviews on Amazon!
Woah that’s fascinating! Thanks for the insight!
1mg finasteride 90 day supply is just under $15 at Costco soooo at that things price you can get ~20yrs of a drug that works. But then again a it would be hard to make a video about a pill that works?
The whole thing is a scam. $1600 for cheap plastic and some red LEDs. $5 I reckon. Plus lots of pseudoscience marketing to make up the extra $1595 🤣
Thanks for your honest review. I agree with you. It's best to have some level of acceptance with one's hair loss
You are an inspiration, thank you so much for this video 🙏🏼 I am going to accept myself and my hairloss
Would have been curious to see you give it just a bit over the 6 months instead of stopping right at the line (like maybe another month or two) but I totally respect your conclusion and you look great anyway. I am watching this because my 16 year old son may be (not sure yet) starting to lose his hair and wanted to see if there might be some non-risky options for him to prevent or slow down the process.
Kudos for the honesty! You look great! Not many people after paying that kind of money can admit that this is complete BS
