I just want to make it clear that I’m not promoting finasteride. I think when it comes to taking it you’re playing a game of Russian roulette and the side effects will largely be down to the individual. Some people will experience minimal sides, others will experience the worst of the worst. Take with caution.
Good advice Mike, i started taking finasteride when felt like was receeding a little, hasnt got any worse in years and zero side effects and hard as a rock when the oppurtunity arises!:)
I just shaved my head bald for the first time today I'm 23 and been loading my hair for 4 years now. It's not that bad plus the hair transplants cost so much money to be done
Mike is the realest fitness RUclipsr there is. No facade, no bullshit, no false “perfect life”. Just a real guy with real problems who loves fitness among many other things.
@stevey wevey our olders make shit jokes but we still laugh right? people like u destroy peoples confidants... i can tell because you had to make your opinion on someone else being happy with a small joke. you need to relax not every joke has to be as good as the last
Really respect your attitude to this subject, hair loss can be a tough subject for a guy, yet here you are making public videos about it and having a good sense of humour. It looks great!
Mike, I want to thank you! I was on the fence about getting a hair transplant, and your previous video inspired me and gave me the push I needed to get it done. Even though I'm only 4 months after the procedure I am already very satisfied with the results. May our hair keep growing. Cheers and thanks again!
@unknown unknown nah bro it's not true. when u're still like 16 everything like new year and christmas feels special, even your bday. now its not that special for me anymore, feels like i enjoy it less than before
I lost my hair years ago and ye it did have a massive effect on my self confidence but i shaved my head and got on with it and its never stopped me getting women and yes fit women.. and anyway thank god most women arnt as shollow as most men .. and anyway your a good looking dude and in mega shape so if anyone could rock a bald head its you mate so dont worry . Hair does not make the man my friend trust me 👍
I think women are actually MORE shallow than men on average. Most demand you be over 6ft, have abs, have good hair...etc... whereas men will fuck any ugly chick because they're just desperate for sex with anything with a vagina. My guess is that you're pretty tall and jacked to make up for your lack of hair?
@@cussyrichards6121 man " fuck anything that has vagina" made me laugh so hard😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yup it's all on the personality that matters. Look at Jason stathom
Minoxidil does work for sure! I use to have a crazy patchy beard so I started applying it to my face to promote growth and now I have a full grown beard with minimal patchiness. I know for a fact I wasn’t gonna grow a beard if I wouldn’t have used it.
Hairline shapes your face. While he would of course look good completely shaved he would still have his face framed by the hairline shadow. If you recede far enough it will literally change the way your face looks like. Distorted and long forehead. people wont be able to tell where your face ends. I know from experience
@TheWhateverGuy These guys are not great examples as they are both extremely handsome with exceptional skull genetics. Have you seen Jason with hair? Pretty much a mode. All I'm saying is that everyone looks a lot better with a hairline.
@@DuBstep115 Yes you do have a shadow. 6 hours later there is a very visible shadow. It's easy to tell if the person has hair or not. You are talking to someone who has been shaving daily for years
Good on ya mike this should be talk about I had mine done about the same time and guys Should not be ashamed to take about it and if anyone is thinking about it get it done it will give you your confidence back 👍💪
Great video Mike, i really appreciate how open and candid you are about your procedure and personal experience. People like you making videos like this remove the stigma associated with men having any form of procedure to enhance their looks. It always bugs me that women can dye their hair, wear high heels, get breast implants, wear foundation to hide bad skin, where other make up to almost transform their faces, yet if a man does something he's not being masculine. Frankly it's BS. You look great with it.
Hey Mike, I would like to share my situation concerning Finasteride. I went on Finasteride for a little over 3 years straight. At one point I lost practically all desire to have sex. I didn’t have any problems with obtaining or maintaining an erection at all but my interest level to have sex with someone or even alone wasn’t happening at all. My whole life I have always had a very active healthy sex drive and interest as well as an active healthy sex life! Finasteride literally shut it down! When I realized this was happening I became terrified. I had my testosterone levels checked and they were a bit on the lower end of the normal range which scared me even more. After A year of not taking Finasteride my desire for sex still hadn’t returned. I went on TRT and my libido and sex drive came back “somewhat” but not anything like it used to be. Even though there can be negative side effects with medicines, most all of us never think it will happen to me. Well it did happen and it was awful and is still not back to its normal self. I can tell you that I would rather be skin bald then to lose my sex drive or interest for sex. Imagine not caring at all about having sex with your partner or remotely giving to thoughts about an attractive female that you just came in contact with. Imagine never having a desire to watch porn or literally any of it. No masturbation, nothing. It’s not a good feeling and it’s not at all healthy. And even a bigger issue, they don’t really know why it happens and they don’t know how to fix it. And if the doctor tells you any side effects will stop the moment you stop taking it, I am living proof that is not the case for everyone. I am hoping it will fully return back to how it was before I started taking Finasteride. It’s not there yet and it has been almost two years now. I feel like I am 50 percent of the way there.. As uncomfortable as it is to talk about it publicly, I feel the need to tell as many people as I can that I would not in any way take Finasteride EVER! The risk is just too great!!! Hope what I just expressed helps. ☮️😊💪🏼
I really appreciate this post. I’m a 22 year old losing my hair rapidly and have looked everywhere for a well documented and accurate representation of an FUE transplant. You’ve got my hopes up for it
Take biotin it promotes healthy hair and maintenance, also get a blood test done most common problem people have especially this time of year is a vitamin D deficiency which also contributes to hair loss / thinning deficiency would recommend you giving it a google
onilocip I eat healthy and train regularly and like mike mentioned in his video stress is a big factor also genetics I’d recommend gently rubbing the thinning areas daily to try and stimulate the hair follicles, but I think long term you should definitely look into biotin and over hair vitamin pills on the market I hear viviscal is a really good multi hair vitamin
I’m glad to see the operation ended successfully. Going bald sucks. I’m 19 years old, and losing my hair pretty quickly. I was considering to get a hair transplant of my own. I’m currently saving my money right now for a procedure. I just hope my operation could go as successful as yours.
how'd you handle losing it and eventually shaving it off? Im 26 too and pretty much lost it all from the top but I use toppik and no one knows I'm actually bald :( I have long hair too.
Well, I actually got severely depressed from age 21-24 so I didn't cope well either. Eventually I graduated, joined the workforce, got in shape and nobody really cares. I'm just uniquely bald at my young age and colleagues love to benignly joke about it, not realizing how much I used to care a couple of years ago. You just get used to it. Sure, I don't get the same looks from girls as I used to be very handsome and vain as a result. I just focus on being masculine and a good provider now rather than being "pretty".
I had about the same amount man! Couldn’t be happier. Easy recovery... was back in the gym a week later! Got it done in Bangkok (Thailand) for about 7k. Looking shredded mate, keep on killing it!
Solid very in depth video man. I just completed my procedure about 1mth ago so am playing the waiting game like many other have. It's nice to see how someone else pushed through it all. Thanks much appreciated.
Mike use minoxidil foam instead - it's not greasy and actually makes your hair look thicker after it's dried and you've combed it. If you end up growing your hair out again it also makes styling with wax/clay way easier too. Also my finasteride experience is really similar to yours, here's hoping they come out with topical sometime soon!
I gotta admit, Mike Thurston is one good looking lad. The hair transplant looks great and what's great is that it's all natural. No fillers, plastic, silicone, etc. Just your natural hair moved to another region.
Thank you for the update. You actually helped convince me to get a transplant two months ago after I was researching for a year. I feel a lot better mentally after it was done
To echo the majority of the other comments below, what a fantastic video Mike! In all my 10 years of personal involvement in hair loss and transplants, I’ve yet to see it spoken about with such clarity and honesty. Many key points were expertly covered and hopefully it can help others with the confidence to take the leap and seriously consider visiting a reputable surgeon a transplant. It was great to hear you weren’t over harvested and looked after well in a UK clinic. Good luck with your continued success. Ps. On the crown, with its lesser blood flow, you will gain results a little later so give it 12-14 months. Top work. @benjaminlewitt Wimpole Clinic LONDON.
I did my FUE transplant at Bosley Jan 2017, 1400 grafts, complete disaster. The bald spots are clearly visible when I grow out my hair. I just shave bald now, I accepted my losses.
Ahhh the private clinic in London, dr Reddy nice bloke. Went there for my 1st Hair Transplant and going back in 2-3weeks time for my second. I will Vlog it every day again. Recommend checking out The Private Clinic
See how you feel on finasteride in a couple of years. It was great for my hair loss but after 7 years it had a big effect on my life in a negative way. 2 years off it and I feel 10x better. But my hair loss has started again. I also have really high SHBG which I'm positive is as a result of taking finasteride. .. I take boron daily which helps lower it a bit.
@@Primal_Traders sex hormone binding goblin...its binds to testosterone, DHT and estrogen which means you have less free testosterone etc to be used by the body. My testosterone levels are in upper range of normal but the high SHBG basically gives you the feeling of having low testosterone
Awesome dude! Great looks! Question though: how long will the transplanted hairs staying your head? Are these hair forever growing? Isn't it going to fall out again?
1m views, 1.8k comments and this guy is struggling going bold. what chance do i have. but bro for real im depressed, feel ugly no confidence. and i know its sad to say because there people out there alot worst and we should all love our self. im not been selfish noway i give thanks to the lord every day. but i would love hair and gain my confidence back. i wish i could spend 20k on my head lol. it would make me happy. but dude you look amazing! been bold my self i know why you done this.. huge credit for sharing
ive always hated my hair and then 10 years ago when i was 22, it started falling out at a fast pace. i panicked for a short while and tried combing it to "hide the bald spots" until i had enough and shaved it all off. best choice i ever made with my hair. from that day on people started to tell me that i look good and i started getting quite some more attention from the ladies. some people are better off without hair, sometimes a negative turns into positive
This just shows me that everybody has something they're working on to try and improve themselves. Mike Thurston is a beautiful man, but his hairline is an area of concern for him. It oddly makes me feel better knowing that we all have things we'd like to change about ourselves. I hope he has success. But if it doesn't work out, remember that bald is sexy too!
Good for you brother. Thanks for sharing the journey. I just got 3700 grafts done in late June of 2019 too. I'm at that six month mark and I can wear it out again. I needed more because I have very fine natural, blonde hair. Looking good man! They did a great job giving you the natural looking restoration.
I think the way your hairloss pattern is and how your head shape is, the results look really natural. Usually you can see when the person has done a HT
For anyone who think they may be starting to lose hair, or their hair is thinning: I highly recommend you stop shampooing as much as you do. Once a week is fine (shampoo, conditioner and a good hair oil). I personally really noticed my hair looking thicker and healthier after a few weeks. Even my barber noticed without me telling him. If you already don't shampoo much, then godspeed.
Mike, for sure this will sound like just one more of those totally common comments, but your video sharing the experience of hair loss and how you managed to get over it made an impressive impact on me and the way I need to deal with it. Motivation, the word is old, but the feeling is great ! Thanks bro.
This guy is stunning! Although he definitely could’ve looked handsome bald, this too looks great! Whatever makes you feel comfortable in your skin and happy!
Mike, pls look this up. You’re not supposed to derma roll daily/ I’d advise weekly and most importantly. You shouldn’t be applying minoxidil right after. U need to leave 24 hrs if not the medication can get into your blood stream. Which u want to avoid. Now if u really want to put something into your scalp, try peppermint oil along with a carrier ie coconut oil or castor oil
Just to be clear Mike.. I honestly think you should of got max graft quantity in Turkey and you would of had hair by when you where 20 odd by now, but that’s just my opinion 💪🏻
I'm so glad I get to finally see the results and it looks amazing. I've been losing a bit of my hair in the crown area as well and was checking your vids out regularly to see if you might've done a short update along the way.
I just want to make it clear that I’m not promoting finasteride. I think when it comes to taking it you’re playing a game of Russian roulette and the side effects will largely be down to the individual. Some people will experience minimal sides, others will experience the worst of the worst. Take with caution.
Thanks
Where did you get your finasteride from? I asked my doctor for it and he said its prescribed for something else...
@@Deffine i dont use it but for peeing
Man u don't have to worry a bit. The job looks perfect 👌 and the crown looks natural too.

And even a bigger issue, they don’t really know why it happens and they don’t know how to fix it. And if the doctor tells you any side effects will stop the moment you stop taking it, I am living proof that is not the case for everyone.
I am hoping it will fully return back to how it was before I started taking Finasteride. It’s not there yet and it has been almost two years now. I feel like I am 50 percent of the way there..

See how you feel on finasteride in a couple of years. It was great for my hair loss but after 7 years it had a big effect on my life in a negative way. 2 years off it and I feel 10x better. But my hair loss has started again.
I also have really high SHBG which I'm positive is as a result of taking finasteride. .. I take boron daily which helps lower it a bit.
Look into topical finasteride man. Some may go systemic but not nearly as much as when you take it orally.
Bro having hair is overrated health always over hair good choice
what does having high SHBG mean?
Yea ive heard quite a few finasteride horror stories
@@Primal_Traders sex hormone binding goblin...its binds to testosterone, DHT and estrogen which means you have less free testosterone etc to be used by the body. My testosterone levels are in upper range of normal but the high SHBG basically gives you the feeling of having low testosterone
This guy is just so honest and transparent
Awesome dude! Great looks! Question though: how long will the transplanted hairs staying your head? Are these hair forever growing?
Isn't it going to fall out again?
1m views, 1.8k comments and this guy is struggling going bold. what chance do i have. but bro for real im depressed, feel ugly no confidence. and i know its sad to say because there people out there alot worst and we should all love our self. im not been selfish noway i give thanks to the lord every day. but i would love hair and gain my confidence back. i wish i could spend 20k on my head lol. it would make me happy. but dude you look amazing! been bold my self i know why you done this.. huge credit for sharing
calum Von Moger talked about getting a hair transplant....give him some Tips
Bruce Lee Which video?
Bruce Lee why not? He’s got the money
His head is full of thick hair why does he need a transplant 😂
@@hashmi1195 his hairline seems fucked
Fail
Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I've never seen someone with better aesthetics! Unbelievably perfect!
I laughed way too hard when he used that Indiana accent when he said he went overseas barbershops lol
Man's hair is the crown of your own kingdom,if you lose it take it back no matter what the solution is
ive always hated my hair and then 10 years ago when i was 22, it started falling out at a fast pace. i panicked for a short while and tried combing it to "hide the bald spots" until i had enough and shaved it all off. best choice i ever made with my hair. from that day on people started to tell me that i look good and i started getting quite some more attention from the ladies. some people are better off without hair, sometimes a negative turns into positive
I started balding at 18 and I am A black man. My head luckily looks good bald. I have a lot of respect for you putting this video out here.
This just shows me that everybody has something they're working on to try and improve themselves. Mike Thurston is a beautiful man, but his hairline is an area of concern for him. It oddly makes me feel better knowing that we all have things we'd like to change about ourselves. I hope he has success. But if it doesn't work out, remember that bald is sexy too!
@kbamm69 That's probably true but you have to admit he looks awfully pretty! :D
Good for you brother. Thanks for sharing the journey. I just got 3700 grafts done in late June of 2019 too. I'm at that six month mark and I can wear it out again. I needed more because I have very fine natural, blonde hair. Looking good man! They did a great job giving you the natural looking restoration.
Any photos 👍🏻
Did you need to take finasteride? I want a HT but don’t want to take that
Someone show this vid to Bradley Martin so he can stop wearing them stupid hats lol
lol
Him and Chris Jones. Why when you can easily fix it.
Or to Lebron James, the other day his fake wig came off in a basketball lmao!
@@arnbassbaritone Chris is insecure about his big head, not his hairline lol
@@JACKKiXi Both. He's being silly by not lowering it and choosing to wear hats and shit
I think the way your hairloss pattern is and how your head shape is, the results look really natural. Usually you can see when the person has done a HT
Is there a reason he's not wearing a shirt to show his head in the thumbnail?
I mean it is a gym workout/ nutrition channel....
@@TRKroxas He doesn't talk about any of that in the video....
It's more eye catching that's for sure atleast that's what happened with me
NMages20 if you looked like that I’m sure you wouldn’t wear a shirt either I know I wouldnt
@@jlove24 that's definitely a solid point. I stand corrected

For anyone who think they may be starting to lose hair, or their hair is thinning: I highly recommend you stop shampooing as much as you do. Once a week is fine (shampoo, conditioner and a good hair oil). I personally really noticed my hair looking thicker and healthier after a few weeks. Even my barber noticed without me telling him.
If you already don't shampoo much, then godspeed.
U got the accent on point for the foreign barbers .. 10:09 HAHAHA
Mike, for sure this will sound like just one more of those totally common comments, but your video sharing the experience of hair loss and how you managed to get over it made an impressive impact on me and the way I need to deal with it. Motivation, the word is old, but the feeling is great ! Thanks bro.
Start brushing your hair to get waves
You seem like an awesome person....glad your transplant went well....cheers from Canada!
Excuse me bro?
'Getting my bush on'
hahaha - This is what I will call manscaping from this day forth!
This guy is stunning! Although he definitely could’ve looked handsome bald, this too looks great! Whatever makes you feel comfortable in your skin and happy!
Trust me no man likes to be bold... i would love to have hair
12:55 WAIT 10 K ? Here in my lithuania it is about 1500 euro and people still hesitate.
Mike, pls look this up. You’re not supposed to derma roll daily/ I’d advise weekly and most importantly. You shouldn’t be applying minoxidil right after. U need to leave 24 hrs if not the medication can get into your blood stream. Which u want to avoid. Now if u really want to put something into your scalp, try peppermint oil along with a carrier ie coconut oil or castor oil
why not make it a bit lower?
I’ve took Finestiride for 13 months and no side effects so far 👍🏻
Just to be clear Mike.. I honestly think you should of got max graft quantity in Turkey and you would of had hair by when you where 20 odd by now, but that’s just my opinion 💪🏻
I'm so glad I get to finally see the results and it looks amazing. I've been losing a bit of my hair in the crown area as well and was checking your vids out regularly to see if you might've done a short update along the way.
The Belgravia center said to me under no circumstances should you be applying minoxidil to your scalp after it has been scratched.
