    39 stage 7 here. With guidance and support from bald cafe has been a massive help and I decided to Buzzit off on a zero guard a month ago and now use a razor and it’s such a better look and don’t know why I don’t do it sooner. It’s only hair guys don’t let it define you a person 👍🏻

    I was stage 2 at age 16. Friends would tell me that i was going bald. My brother who's 7 years older than me who was already bald at that time, told me that i was gonna end up bald like him. It bothered me alot but after many restless nights I accepted my fate. Im 39 now and still at stage 2. So not sure what happened. It does make me wonder why it stopped falling like i and others expected.

    I'm 33 and I'd say I'm at 1.5 atm. I started to noticing some thinning in my hairline and on top. So, I went ahead and started using Rogaine and started seeing some results but that wasn't enough, I wanted to get to the root of the problem and that was the DHT in my system which is the main cause of male pattern baldness. After a lot of research and reading the horror stories online and also a lot of contemplating, I went a head and went to a walk in clinic and asked the doctor for 1mg prescription of Propecia (finasteride) to prevent any further hair loss and perhaps regrow what I've lost. So, been using Rogaine for about 4 months now and Propecia for 3 month and I must say, I was surprised of the results I can literally see my hairline growing back where it started thinning and receding. I've experienced no side effects so far. Honestly, it feels like a weight have been lifted off my shoulder, I don't have to think about losing my hair anymore. So far so good. 👍

      @A55YRlAN 4 года назад

      Yeah, bro. My scalp used to show when my hair was wet and now its filled in nicely. It might take up to a year sometimes to start seeing results, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate result. Buy a pill splitter and take half the pill daily, 0.5mg. Also, I suggest you start with Propecia right away instead of going for minoxidil. Finasteride (Propecia) will get to the root of the problem whereas Minoxidil (Rogaine) is only a stimulant but doesn’t fix the thinning of the hair itself. Best of luck!

Take what off? lol. If you're worrying about it. Just shave it. Yes you'll be in shock for a day or two. But it'll be one of those personal development moves that will actually improve your mental health. I really like it now and I think it looks better than having a weak tuft on top.

    Great video - Like you as soon as I noticed the thinning / balding patch on my crown when I was 18 I decided to shave it all off and have a "designer" stubble beard like you have and it was the best decision I ever made. Saved a fortune in haircut bills, feel and look sharp and the ladies absolutely love it! Does anyone else get girls saying "Can I have a feel of your shaved head?". In my experience they love it because it feels "spiky". Best advice - if you're balding : shave it off.

    I’m 56. something recently made my hair grow back noticeably thicker to the touch: I injured my knee cartilage two months ago and reinjured it 4 weeks ago kinda badly. So I started taking Glucosmaine Chondroitin supplement about 2 weeks ago, about the same time I shaved my head bald at home (I’m blessed to be at only stage I). The comment I wish to make is that my hair grow back noticeably thicker and I think it was the Glucosamine Chondroitin supplements. I hope this info is useful to someone.

      Shave it, it's inevitable that you will lose all of your hair, even new hairs you've grown will all fall out as soon as you stop using minoxidil. Don't be a slave and stop wasting your money and energy on something that's happening whether you like it or not.
      There's nothing worse than a guy holding onto it when it's obvious it's gone.

    I have been bald since 25. I used protein shakes and body building supplements since 19. So, that probably why I lost my hair. I am out of shape currently but, I still love the art of body buliding, and always say, I would rather look buff and bald then have a full head of hair and have no muscle. I use double and triple edge razors and I love how head feels after a shave and after shave on my head. If your going bald, shave your head. It’s saves money in the long run. Razors cost anywhere from $2.00 to $20.00 depending on the razor. The best way to fight baldness is to shave your head, and if you want hair grow facial hair

    Norwood 1 starting at 18, going from NW1 to NW3 gradually until now, 21. When it first started happening at 18, I didn't even notice it until one of my friends said "I didn't know you had a receding hairline". The thing is I was a true NW1/NW2 then so I literally didn't even notice it. I had really long hair down to my eyebrows and I noticed that I couldn't shape it as well, but I just thought that was a quirk of my hair as I was transitioning from teenager to young adulthood. Then my friend said that and I was like, oh no what, I'm way too young for this to happen. I guess I was going through that "denial" stage in the five stages of grief. As I was going from NW2 to NW3, I was kind of starting to accept it, hesitantly of course.
    But yeah as I said I'm 21 now and NW3 which, I mean, it could be worse. I decided to shave it all off, cause it was patchy in some areas, although I don't know if that was fully to do with male pattern baldness because my brother isn't that patchy, but I could be wrong. I started off buzzing it all off with a clippers one time, then I watched some of your videos and decided to get the razor out and do it that way. It was soul-crushing to watch that video of yours when you first started balding, you looked so defeated. The start contrast of watching that video where you looked borderline suicidal, to now where you are as confident as anything. But it affected me so much because I knew exactly how you felt. Non-balding people really don't understand the struggle at all, when your friends say "oh just grow it out" or "oh just leave some hair on your head" as they have a full head of hair. Your videos have really inspired me, you rock the lock with such confidence, you make it look effortless honestly; I guess it helps you have a good skull shape and you have good beard genetics lol. I'm trying to grow out a beard but it's not working very well
    It's kinda cool though cause you feel part of a community, it's almost a lifestyle being bald. Watching your videos and other people going through the struggles, it feels good, because I don't know anyone as unfortunate at me to have a NW3 at 21 so I feel less alone. Thank you for showing me that losing your hair really isn't the end of the world, even at a young age.

When I realised I had passed stage 3, I was like "oh shit" lol. Most of my family kept their hair. Only my grandpa lost his hair (he had a white, curly horseshoe look going on, quite unforgettable) so I'm guessing I got that gene. I'm still giving a shit, but hopefully not for much longer!

    Norwood 2 ,, at nearly 50, very lucky I guess... having said that preventative medicine has really helped .... if it wasn’t for the show “the bald truth” I would have never had the courage to do anything about it ... finasteride for a year now has not only lowered my hairline it has helped with the recession and keeps my hair healthy....
    Obviously the best way if you can accept it is to shave your head, but honestly some people are just not ready for it .... I wasn’t for sure even at my age .... don’t let people with bad experiences using finasteride cloud your judgement as it can be a life saver ...
    Keep up the good work buddy spreading positive information helps so many people ..

    I think i'm currently at stage II unfortunately.. My hair loss have probably started 1-2 years ago but I didn't notice anything until early this year.. I usually have very thick curly/wavy hair (I still have, the main problem is only at the front). The temples are receding a little bit, and I started losing some density at the front. Tried many things for these 7-8 months (after I noticed that something is not okay with my hair), but nothing worked so far.. (I'm still trying though) I guess when the time comes, i'll just embrace it even though it would be hard, cause I love my hair..! :)) Thank you for the video!

    I’m Norwood 1 since 14 years old, that’s literally my hairline has been and that’s my genes too except my brother who even has hair on his forehead lmao he’s fucking lucky. However, I have an amazing volume on the rest of my head, there’s no baldness or even a thin patch except maybe my crown because of irregular routine and poor diet. And I’ve been applying oils since months and my volumes great. The dermatologists also say it’s great so there’s prolly nothing to worry about I guess. But I wanted to confirm if norwood 1 is normal or not, I mean 95% young people have a Norwood 1 which is considered a great hairline (I’m 17 tho)

    1 or 1.5 I can't say it is 2. Age 41. But I'll go to a doctor since the age. Ten years ago was pretty much the same but I think it starts to accelerate after 40. There are two options for me now, I'll go into medicine only if I can preserve this stage and the treatment is not too long. One nasty pill a day for the rest of my life does not sound good. Or I save it as it is or I'll get bald. Keeping stage 2 or above with medicine is not an option because it is pretty much bald and medicine in the same time.

  • @mckiki4029
    @mckiki4029 3 года назад

    Sorry for the massive scripture but here it is...
    I'm about a norwood 2-3 and have been since I was 16 although my hairline was always slightly recessed. During puberty I did notice a difference and I freaked out massively, apart from the recession I've got very thick hair and it's almost a primary part of my identity. Luckily between ages 16-19 I noticed no real changes but I did decide to try finasteride at 19-20 years old for prevention and kept true for just over a year but Uni and life handed me more things to worry about and at 21 I was completely off of it as I would rather spend my money on a night out 😂. 21-24, again no loss but during lockdown I started treatments again because I was put back into an environment that left my mind to it's own devices, plus the covid weight gain didn't help. So I was very self conscious about my appearance and a lot of my flaws are exaggerated mentally.
    I'm at a point now that I'm wanting to improve other areas of my life; learning new skills, losing weight and learning to love myself as my flaws appear worse during the moments I think negatively of myself. I tolerate hair loss meds very well (no sides, blood works done etc.) and sticking to them until I decide what I want to do as my loss is still mild, and as you can see on my avatar it's a lot of hair to lose. It's not like I'm at a point where there's no point on trying to hold on. Although, it's probably bad enough to give Kevin Mann night terrors. I'll always think about it no matter what way I go wether I'm taking a tablet or shaving my head every other day but I'm learning to accept it. I'm a person who likes to have options, some "breathing space" to allow me decide on what my next steps are.
    One thing I'll say to the teenage hair loss suffers, when you are in high school, you might be one of 4-5 people in your year that has hair loss, making you feel very alienated. However, when you go to work, college or university you will realise you are completely normal, you might not like it but you will be around people of all "different shapes and sizes" and this is the time to put things into perspective and figure out what you want to do. I will never tell you to just takes meds it'll be fine. Honestly, if you can accept baldness, love yourself and tolerate the constant shaving 😂 bloody go for that path but don't feel bad if you want to treat your hair loss either but please get some blood works done now and then! I'm content with my choice at the moment but love to share my experience 😄

Feel like I'm a stage 3 if I'm being honest with myself, but I hate going barbers I feel uncomfortable because the back of my head has allways had a bald patch but like right at the back. If my hair stayed like this now I feel like I'd be happy but I feel like it's obviously gonna get worse, I'm 33 in January and feel like I started noticing hair loss when I hit 30.

    I shaved it during the pandemic just to see how it would look and get ahead of it and we opened up immediately after and multiple people told me unprompted how bad I looked which was a pretty big hit to my confidence. I cant recall that happening ever in my life before, usually people will at least lie or not say anything just to be polite. I grew it back and its worse now and Im thinking of shaving it again but I just remember everyone telling me how bad it looked last time lol.

Just turned 17 but my dad said he started losing his in his 30s so I’m not sure. My moms dad did not bald at all though so it’s like a coin toss for me.

It is hard but I pushed through high school and if it gets worse I’m going to bald but you need good friends. I never had any but friends that will lift you up. I had a friend, well thought he was and in front of whole class he was like “ please show everyone your hairline “ and you know I laughed it off but inside it hurt and still something I struggle with but remember, everything will be alright. I’m 5’7.8” tall and going bald. But who cares. Bald people are cooler 🤘🏻
