Symptoms
In men, hair often begins to recede from the forehead.
Male-pattern baldness
Women tend to lose hair along the part.
Female-pattern baldness
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) is sometimes preceded by itchy or painful scalp.
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
Repeated stress on the hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia
t's becoming increasingly common for menopausal women to experience frontal fibrosing alopecia, in which the hairline moves back.
Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hair loss can appear in many different ways, depending on what's causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually and affect just your scalp or your whole body.
Signs and symptoms of hair loss may include:
Gradual thinning on top of head. This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting people as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede at the hairline on the forehead. Women typically have a broadening of the part in their hair. An increasingly common hair loss pattern in older women is a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia).
Circular or patchy bald spots. Some people lose hair in circular or patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.
Sudden loosening of hair. A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing or washing your hair or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning but is temporary.
Full-body hair loss. Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in the loss of hair all over your body. The hair usually grows back.
Patches of scaling that spread over the scalp. This is a sign of ringworm. It may be accompanied by broken hair, redness, swelling and, at times, oozing.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you are distressed by persistent hair loss in you or your child and want to pursue treatment. For women who are experiencing a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia), talk with your doctor about early treatment to avoid significant permanent baldness.
Also talk to your doctor if you notice sudden or patchy hair loss or more than usual hair loss when combing or washing your or your child's hair. Sudden hair loss can signal an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.
People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually isn't noticeable because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair that has fallen out.
I wish this channel were called Hairsystemcafe.
The holy trinity of cafes. Haircafe,baldcafe, and hairsystemcafe🤣
Bro you have the best videos on pharmaceuticals for hair loss
@@JakeKent Thanks homie! We also need a SMPcafe and hairtransplantcafe and the hair loss youtube circuit will be complete. 😊
Thank you kindly for that! When people ask me about hair systems I always recommend your channel. Thanks for the great content.
Would love to have you on for an interview if you’re ever keen!
Btw I did some zercher good mornings for the first time last week and you crossed my mind. I’ve seen your old zercher squat videos. They always blow my mind. I hate them with a passion lol
@@JakeKent Sure! I see you have your contact info up so when things slow down a bit I'll hit you up.
Zerchers are definitely epic for building pain tolerance and back extension strength. Fantastic carry over into the deadlifts too. Keep crushing it d00d.
He makes a good point 👏
I like and watch both of you guys channels . I'm 49 and always had alot of hair . During covid when everything was closed I shaved my head bald . Now since I've gotten the covid shot my hair is falling out . Yes it is 100% true that in alot of men the covid shot is making men's hair fall out . Im going to rock the longest hair piece u can find . What's nice about them is they don't look like the rugs men wore in the 1970's and 80's . It's nice to have options in life . Even today I have alot of hair but super deep widows peaks . I'm going to go from 6 inch under cut with deep widows peaks to a full head of long hair instantly . I will not lose 1 second of sleep worrying about what coworkers or family and friends think you. People cannot live their lives like that they have to do what's going to make them happy. In 6 months after having super long hair if I want to rock the bald look I can. Is having options in life is good . I graduated high school in 1991 I don't care what others think. Too many adult men act like high school. Either balled or with a hair piece live life for yourself and do what's going to make you as a man happy . Both of your channels are needed and I do watch both of them keep up the good work.
Yesssss that happened to me , the same man , I always thought I was going crazy
I went through it for years. Spent soooo much time hiding under a hat. Wouldn't even answer my front door without putting on. I got smp done about 6 years ago and it gave me my life back. I genuinely feel like I look good (Big headed) 😅. I feel great leaving the house. Absolutely full of confidence. Best decision I ever made.
I loved that two leading people in this sub community have such a honest healthy understanding filled with respect and humility! You guys are great, keep it going!
I wore a hair system (HCM) for 18 years before getting a hair transplant and am extremely happy 20 years later with my decision. My life would have been 500% better if I had done the transplant initially. My systems with maintenance were costing thousands per year whereas a permanent transplant in Turkey back then would have been less than $3000. I was always self-conscious of wearing a wig, many knew it but said nothing, while others offered rude comments. It actually affected my job performance because I was meeting with many new customers every day. Do yourself a favor and research hair transplants before getting a hair system.
Yeah if hair transplant was the answer i would do it in a heartbeat. The main problem is donor area is just not enough in a lot of cases.
Does the glue from a hair system ruin your scalp? I don't look bad bald. I have dated, I have found jobs, etc, so I don't think it affected my "success". However, I would like to wear one for special occasions, every now and then, without hiding the fact that I am bald. My idea is to have instagram photos with and without hair, just like a woman has with fake nails and without, with glasses and contact lenses, with hair extensions and without them, etc. My only fear is that the glue will ruin my scalp in the way that I will look bad when shaved.
Thanks for your response!
I think I look awful without hair on my head. I've resorted to wearing hair at this point and will probably do it until I get truly tired of it.
Does it look good? Are you happy?
Same. I used to shave my head and i became confident as a man, and thought i'd cracked it, but in the end i never felt attractive, until i got a system. Now im confident and attractive :D
Same here. I'm a tall guy and I can't grow decent facial hair to save my life. I look terrible without hair. I wore a ball cap for daily for 15 years before getting a system and it definitely changed my life for the better.
I wonder if getting a micro pigmantation hair line and a hair system would he good? That way when you get tired of the HS you can rock the buzz cut
So glad you two have done this, folks. Two different but very interesting perspectives
Both of you do an amazing job.
Everyone is gangsta until haircafe join this meeting 😂😂😂😂
BaldCafe had a huge part in me shaving my head a couple years ago. He's a good guy. I grew my hair back after a couple months and now I'm about 2 months into wearing a hair system. I love it. It's been a great experience for me.
My journey looked like this: thinning, rogaine/finasteride to slow the process (age 23-26), shaved head (26), a pseudo-combover (26-28), to now a realistic hair system. Having been on the journey I want to weigh in on the "Shave Your Head vs Hair System" argument.
One thing I don't hear anyone talking about is that the reality of being bald is very different for traditionally handsome men and men who are not. For attractive men, besides the internal crisis, they'll be totally fine in their dating life and career because they still look attractive and professional. BaldCafe shows a lot of good looking bald guys and for them they made the right decision, but it's not that simple for others.
There are many legitimate studies to back up the link between physical attractiveness and success in finances and relationships - the more attractive you are.. the more intelligent, funny, trustworthy (the list goes on) you are perceived to be. Even after the first impression. Essentially, the studies show that doors of opportunity in career and relationships open up at a certain level of physical attractiveness. Then your personality comes into play and we all know that is extremely important as well.
On the other hand, for men who are small statured, pale, have an unattractive face/head shape, the bald look drastically effects your attractiveness. If you fall below "moderately attractive" this leads to negative perceptions of your character and ultimately people treating you negatively. You're more likely to be perceived as creepy, annoying, dumb or maybe just invisible... For unattractive men, the bald journey is both internal (self-esteem, confidence) and external (negative interactions)
So what should you do? Shave it or get a system? Here's how I see it. If you are handsome then shave that head and your life will remain relatively undamaged by the change. If you are not handsome, or have a boyish look like myself, and you don't want to play life on hard mode then you should consider a system. $100 a month really will change your life.
'For unattractive men, the bald journey is both internal (self-esteem, confidence) and external (negative interactions)' bingo. I did not lose my confidence when I lost my hair, I lost my confidence when I stopped having success with women and that was due in large part to the fact that going bald pushed me, an average guy, below the minimum attractiveness threshold.
@@barbellsamurai8014 I totally understand you, man. The reality of "beauty standards for men" is rarely spoken of. But it's the truth. Women don't want to date an unattractive man, the personality is irrelevant.
Some guys take it too far and feel like their life is fucked.. but it's not so serious if you're up to the challenge. Start using human nature to your advantage. Fix what you can; hair system, teeth whitening, skin products, hit the gym and eat clean. And if you're a good man with a sense of humor (and a good job lol) you'll be juuuust fine.
Hair system > Being bald 💯
i wanna shere my story. i started to loosing hair at 13 so at 16 i started to shave my hair (not bold but most likely to the Latino hair cut). at 21 i get my first hair system becouse i always looked to the handsome guys and being like: "gosh, i wish i had his hair cut, i wish i could have the superpower to steal hair to the other people". and the thing that i never had a normal hair just like the other guys hurt me a lot. i tryed to go bold for 2 years, thr thing was that i get -100point with the ladys. when i get the first hair system it was like the doors of heaven opened to me. i had more friends, and even more girlfriends! i started to take care about my body, and it really works. im so glad that i live in a era that can fix thouse problems! trust me, if you can go with a hair system go for it. even if your friends gonna make fun of you. AND THEY MADE FUN OF ME, FOR A YEAR. they laugh in front of my face, but you know what? whatever, becouse now i'm very happy, i can date a woman without wearing hats, i can speak with people without worring if they could notice my hairloss or to make jokes about it. when i was bold i was feeling like a creepy guy, now i feel the more attractive
@@jeff-li2ck the thing is that the bold way works if you have that alpha look. like: tall, muscular, big hands, and so on. like Johnny Sins. but if you have the 'nice guy face' it not gonna work with you. you gonna look creapy as hell. look jake kent. he have the alpha man face, so he can easly go with the bold head, but the hair it fits him as well. becouse it give him that look of "nice guy" "trustable guy".
I’ve had a hair system for 2 years now and it’s so much upkeep and cost £710 a year in maintenance to keep it looking in perfect condition I’ve decided I’m going to go for the shave and stop the worry of people noticing that it is a system and saying something
How do you feel now ? Better ? Please what changed
@@educationedu5594 the relief, I felt as soon as I shaved my head, knowing that I could be the better version of myself, and not worried about my hair system, lifting or looking fake best things I’ve ever done
Love both channels! Really excited about this!
Anyone knows if there exist alternatives to wanting to wear a realistic looking hair system while having dermatological issues (psoriasis) on your scalp, making it impossible to glue a system on?
Hair systems saves lives
yes it really is beautiful
I wouldnt be getting a system in two weeks if i could grow a good beard. I have a goatee at best, and it doesnt look good. If I had your beard id be fine with being bald, but I dont, so im not, so im getting a system.
If being bald is such a negative thing in one's life then, sure, try the alternatives (hair transplant, hair system etc.). It's your life after all. Personally I think most bald/balding guys look awesome with a close buzz or head shave, but each to their own decision.
Cope
@@nepamirskuzkameskovojomeli2396 youre just angry bro some dudes definitely good good bald
@@aravindnair3839 Yes some guys. Probably 1 in every 10 men who go bald look good despite it. Those are very small odds.
@@nepamirskuzkameskovojomeli2396 Being a man is more than looks my friend.
I dont look good bald... weird head shape, big ears, and I've been bald for over 2 years now. It feels bad to go out and be self aware that I dont look good, and can't get much girls if any at all. im contemplating a hair system.
Tired of feeling less for something I dont control. and tired of being stopped for comments like "tough it out, pu$$y", "only women worry about hair", then go out, try to be brave, and end up feeling shit
Good show.
Guy with hair system caffe win
Finally 😃👏
I’ve had a hair transplant and don’t care what anyone says, for 99% of people, having hair makes you look more attractive as a man.
Even the guys who look good bald would look “better” with hair. It’s almost undeniable.
Yes it’s great to accept that going bald is ok & people should build their confidence being bald but let’s keep it a buck, men generally look better with hair.
I mean you’re stating an opinion like it’s a fact. Sure the majority of people probably like the hair look better than the bald look but there’s plenty of people who actually like the bald shaved head look. 🤷🏽♀️ it’s all just opinions and personal preferences man and everybody’s is different
@@MP_3122 you can shave your hair even if u have full hair. But u can't grow hair which doesn't exist.
@@MP_3122 having hair is always better
@@MP_3122 It is a fact though..if you don't have enough life experience to know that having hair makes you more attractive, then just look at studies.
There are many legitimate studies that back up the idea that men with hair are perceived as more attractive.
@@MP_3122 some women like a "shaved head" although only if there is still a hairline. bald is objectively unattractive.
It's amazing how many people are so rude at times for a guy that shaves his head. My current girlfriend everytime I go visit her with her family. They always comment. Like do you wish you had hair? or her Brothers daughters saying Oh god you have a big bald forehead and so many other comments. I could have easily came back with insults towards them. But I am trying to be respectful since it's my GF family. But I guess in a Cruel world you get nowhere being nice or respectful. You only are allowing more insults to come as odd as that sounds. I guess I should go ahead and Tell her Brother Dude do you with your werent so fat and more inshape like me? Only reason I say that I might start coming back with my own insults is because since they know I am trying to be respectful and not say bad things about them. They see me as an easy target and the keep insulting doing it over and over....Its like I am fine with a shaved head but others seem to see it as such a big deal.
you look significantly better with a hair system than bald. that's the bottom line. if you don't think looks are important, then that's your decision.
We need one about transplants.
Transplants are the worst of both worlds
@@georgejohnson5904 not necessarily. Plenty of systems look unnatural because they are way too dense and dont have temple points, transplants suffer because you can not get a full head of dense hair so you are stuck using fibres and drugs to maintain what you still have. Best option would be high quality transplant to restore frontal hair line and temple points with a system behind in the middle top of your head. You will get great density throughout, frontal hairline will look natural and have temple points
@@barbellsamurai8014 From what I understand though you can actually get a hair system that cover the whole scalp including temporal triangles and nape am I wrong ?
@@Castromany you can get 'full cap' wigs, my understanding is that is is harder to have a system come down onto the vertical or sides of the head than it is to just glue it onto the top. Most systems get styles so the fringe covers the unnatural hairline and so it is brushed over the corners where the temples meet the hairlines as they seem to be problem areas for systems
@@Castromany this video is actually a good example, baldcafe has a round face, broad forehead and no temple points, when guys in his position get a system they generally look terrible and they have to do the floppy fringe thing. Whereas jake has a narrow square face / forehead and still has reasonable hair at the temples so it looks decent on him. Prince william would actually be a good candidate for a system for the same reasons i mentioned about jake
