    for me it was:
    keep hair= stay indoors, dont stress incase it make it worse, dont go out, dont swim, dont go out in rain, avoid showers too much and hot sun or cold, avoid pulling hair accidently on hats or anything, dont exercise or sweat too much as fear of damage, avoid or fear mirrors or friend family photos, hide from the world, feel down all the time , feel scared and lock yourself away and lock others out due to fear of judgement,
    Vs
    shave it off and set your self free from the mental prison of your mind being controlled by society expectations!!!!! :)

    I started losing at 19 and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I remember thinking, I didn’t even make it until my 20’s. In a way, I feel like I lost my 20’s. When I hit 30, I started looking around and found that I was in the same boat as a lot of other guys and that eased my mind and one day I just decided to let it go. It hasn’t been easy, but haven’t let it hold me back like I did before. It may sound stupid, but young men need access to therapy to deal with this.

Or just I would have more lively interactions in general with people, but now idk people are starting to talk to me different or not even acknowledge me anymore. Idk maybe I should just shave my head now, but it makes me stupid nervous to just change. Idk i hate the stigma that comes with a shaved head or completely bald head.

    hey bro, for me there is nothing hard about being bald, trust me I' started losing hair when I was 17, now I'm 21 and I have no problem with that, I shave every 2 or 3 days, let my beard grow, change my clothes style, built muscles. I'm good, I wished that knew your channel at the beginning so I can share with you all the process.

Also helps with seeing everyone else at these young age braving the shave. Builds a good resilient community for support, keep up the good content mate!

I’m glad it’s gone- I don’t care what people think either. Worrying about someone’s opinion on being bald doesn’t compare to the satisfaction I now have every morning not thinking about hair Love it !

    The hardest thing for me is I feel that going/being bald you're dependent so much on other people's opinions. I feel that I won't be treated the same way as when I had hair. I have always known that if I work hard enough, I will get to where I need to get to in life. In school, I worked hard and got myself into Medical school. Then worked my ass off to qualify as a Doctor. More work, and almost 10 years later I am a Consultant. But, I find my friends have all have partners/wives/families and I am alone, bald, and nothing I have achieved and can do will matter because for the opposite sex, I am not deemed an attractive prospect. I would love be in your position, not caring about what other's think.

    • @Baldcafe
      @Baldcafe  4 года назад +9

      It could be that the caring what others think is holding you back. Don’t get me wrong. You want to be a like able person but we overthink it so much. In reality no one cares about what we are doing because they too are overly concerned about what you or others are thinking about them. Being bald in no way makes you automatically unlikeable I promise you that. Not by any person worth spending your time on anyway.

    For the guys out there hesitating: I used the corona quarantine period to shave and get used to it myself. Best fucking decision of my life. All the anxiety you’re feeling will disappear, I’m not exaggerating. The very first two or three days you’ll walk out of your house you might feel a bit anxious. That’s normal. From day 4 and further you’ll feel like a newborn baby every time you get out with that fresh clean look - and yes a beard and some muscles would help. But if there was any time to start it’s now - corona time.

    I don’t miss my hair but I hate when people moan about their hair. As a female it’s hard but I would not change it. It’s important to accept it and understand that others are in a worse position etc. I currently walk (hop) on crutches with a bald head. I have walked around with wigs, buffs, hats etc but wearing nothing is so freeing. I just need to find a Barbers to sort it out.

  • @khalilgammoh4797

    I guess the reason behind this anxiety of men losing their hair is that women won't like them anymore since having hair or stylish hair is one of the things that measures men's attractiveness at least on social media and ads. I had a girl that I wanted to date once told me that she likes men with hair and I was and still am losing my hair at that time so that created some insecurity in me about losing my hair. I used to shave my head when I was younger just for the sake of change but shaving my head now is necessity since that's the only hair style that's available for you. For all the men that have this insecurity eating all their thinking time or just overthinking that your chances are gone with your hair I just want to say that if someone is evaluating you based on the hair on your head, you just don't need to be with this person anyone believe me. Just shave your head and embrace the new look and live with it...since I started losing my hair I became more upkeep taking better care of my appearance and that opened new opportunities for me in life whether it was dating or jobs....mic drop!

    yup. vid completely resonates.

I was never a good looking guy with hair and clean shaven. amidst some banter (cueball, head upside down, etc) most people told me it suits me and I think it can suit anyone. I look back now and wish I'd embraced it sooner, but it was the fear of the unknown and starting a new chapter.

    I remember that after I finally buzzed my head down to a 0, that "damn, I look surprisingly good". In fact, it made my other positive features more noticeable, and I realized that I didn't even need the damn hair. It also made me finally start losing weight, and I've went from 194 lbs almost obese in December to 158 lbs right now, and arguably, I look and feel the best I have since sophomore year of high school. I also feel so much less self-conscious in general, and more willing to just be myself, unapologetically. I've actually started to like who I am again, and that's huge. I really relate to what you say about accepting balding initiating a personal growth process.

    I want to thank this channel for giving me inspiration and opening my eyes to a world of confidence i did not recognise before.
    Around two years ago I started experiencing hair loss, such as a receding hairline and thinning hair in general. Classmates made me aware of my hairline and how thin my hair was. It did not really affect my confidence much, but I consciously started checking my hair more and more. When I look in the mirror since then, the first thing my eyes strike is my hair.
    I never really had anyone to talk about since last August when I met my beautiful girlfriend who has been supportive since day one. Not just about my insecurity of losing hair, but also motivation struggles, dealing with remorse, etc. I knew this channel existed, since i saw it on my feed one or two times. However, I never thought i would relate to guys that came on the channel this soon. After all, I only turned 20 last March.
    I convinced myself to try and shave my hair off upcoming monday, because I am tired of being known for my bad hair (At least that is what it feels like to me).
    I'm excited to finally be free.
    Thank you

    The hardest thing about going bald is accepting it.
    My uncle George, who was a very wise man, said that when you go bald you accept it.
    That helped me a lot, as when I thought of shaving my head I thought I'd look old and ugly.
    When I had my head shaved I realised how wrong I was.
    It's the best look I've ever had, and I accept it and love it.
    And women like it.

    After I shaved it and got used to it, life just got better and better.

    I still have good coverage, but I brush my hair back to reveal the fading hairline. Years ago I shaved completely when I had a full head of hair, and I looked good, so I'm not too concerned about it. But 2 things stop me from shaving completely- I'm a taoist priest so long hair is akin to longevity for my culture, and my mother wants me to regrow my hair because she wanted me to stay . I'm naturally very muscular, just under 6ft, and very intellectual, so she wants me to be more appealing for potential wives. I'm at that stage where if I'm going to regrow my hair, now is the time to double down on treatments, but otherwise a good haircut will hide my hair loss for a couple more years (I'm 31).

    Brother, I just wanted to say THANK YOU! As a special operations veteran of two services, and now a law enforcement officer, I've had a good share of crazy experiences, and scary shit... shaving off what remained of my thinning hair was the hardest and scariest of all (I haven't had a buzz-cut since bootcamp a little over 2 decades ago). I don't really know why that was, but I did know that I was holding on to it for dear life; that experience had me confused, depressed, and eventually very bitter. I started watching your channel, and within a few videos worth of your advise and encouragements I was motivated to take that next step; nauseated and teary eyed at what felt like a defeat, but resolved nonetheless... by God, if it was all going to go eventually, then it was going to go my damn way & when I said so (your talks reminded me of that, lol). Anyhow, it's been two weeks now, and I feel like a Mack truck has been lifted from my chest; no more stress & agita, and now I've only been wearing ballcaps when I want to or when a task requires it). It's "tacti-cool" lol, the Mrs. loves it, and I'm diggin' it overall; it didn't even shock friends or family. Thank you, and thank also to all of hose brave souls the shared their experience publicly on your channel. I was hesitant and weak for a long time when it came to this, and you helped (as I'm sure is the case for many others). Your channel is providing a great service, and it is an extremely helpful resource; keep up the outstanding work your doing. 😎👍

    Before I noticed that my crown hair is thinning: I don't care about others' balding/ thinning head.
    After I learnd that I will definitely be a bald guy: I became a good thinning hair detector of any guy's head.
    Conclusion: Other people do not give a shit about your thinning/ balding head. The shame, insecure, inferiority, etc, are only in your head. Just shape your muscle better, read a lot of books, wear a proper clothes, make a lot of money, and build your confidence :)

    But I have big ears and without the hair balancing the shape of my face I look bad. Adding a beard helps but my beard is quite shitty, maybe cause I'm 20 and it will improve in the future, that's what I hope at least lol

    Hairloss is preventable with commonly available and safe medication. Balding is also temporary - emergent technologies (and current hair transplant tech) will make baldness a choice one day soon. Either way, respect to those who just choose to go for it anyway. Some people look odd with hair and so much more attractive without. Sadly I don't fall into that category!

    Before you completely shave your head smooth again you should go to a barber and try some different looks...maybe have the barber clean it up on top (shave off the fuzzies) and taper up the sides and back....the traditional male pattern baldness buzzcut that you would have if you didn’t completely shave...just to see how different you would look...it’s actually kind of fun to see our different looks 😃
