In this video video we welcome Joe. Joe had been dealing with his hair loss for many years. He first noticed it in his early - mid twenties and things ramped up relatively quickly. His balding and the insecurities that surrounded it began to impact his life in more and more ways. It was impacting his career and passion as a high level rugby player. He began using hair fibres and photoshopping his pictures to disguise the balding but this continued to erode his confidence in himself further. Joe had never had this short hair before. Watch the moment as he shaves off his thinning hair for the first time starting with a grade 3 buzz cut and ending this video with a grade 0 head shave. As you can see Joe was shocked and it took time for him to get used to his new look.
Thanks so much Joe for sharing your story as real as it gets here at Baldcafe. That took courage. 🤝 We are forever grateful.

This is usually biggest heard mantra and safe-mechanism which is clear indication towards what only bald people will say. It's actually required in order to keep their illusions grandeur despite of opposite reality which is just sad. Because mental wound from balding is so deep and painful that they refuse accept the reality and be truthful to themselfs. In reality they are suffering and being victimized from Stockholm Syndrome.

But videos like this help me see that others have had a “disappointed” reaction initially, before eventually realizing it was the right move Seeing everyone be so happy with the change is great, but I also appreciate seeing the reactions of people who weren’t sure at first

Are you kidding me, dude looks amazing with the shaved head. You've got the killer beard to even it out so you're golden, my man! I think it was just the emotional/psychological shock of being without hair (which I can TOTALLY understand). I think you just relieved a ton of long-term stress off your shoulders and now you can move on with life and hopefully gain confidence in knowing you look even better now (even if you don't believe it just yet--I"m telling you, you pull off the new look seamlessly mate).

Going bald is completely a choice. There is so many different solutions to use towards it and you don't even need to take hair transplant. For my case i started balding and i took first finasterine and then minoxidil, which completely stopped my balding process and hair started growing and coming back. What i found best solution to cope this problem and what really fixed it was taking dosage of propecia. Now someone may say that your dick will stop working while taking it, but back in the days wasn't even aware of this problem, never faced this problem either myself but if anyone decide to try it at your own risk and each at their own i guess. I been having history of taking steroids so taking this wasn't nothing new to me at this point.

Harry, thanks for uploading this. After years of watching your videos, I decided last year to shave my head. Much like Joe here, I did not like my look. I was fully bald for 6 months, but I just lost all confidence in my appearance. I then decided to grow it back. I have diffuse thinning all throughout the top and it’s clear I’m balding. But I think I look a lot better with hair than without. All this is to say, from someone who went from thinning to bald to thinning again, I can understand Joe’s and other’s reaction about the initial shave not always being a triumphant moment. It can be even more devastating because you think you’ll look great bald, but you feel as though you are not. Again, thanks for uploading a video where it’s not all bliss.

@Baldcafe Жыл бұрын

It’s all good man. The way I see it, I’m not sure if you’ll agree but… it sounds like you are more comfortable now with the thinning hair than you were the first time “pre” head shave? In my book you’ve won. You took a step, ok it wasn’t all fun and games but it’s gotten you closer to comfortable than you were before?

HUBBA HUBBA! Looking great with the bald head and beard combo! My hairline started to recede in my mid 20s. Because of it, I rocked a variety of mullets and eventually got tired of doing anything with my hair and took the plunge to shave it. Having a nice shaped head is thankful, but I also think it gives you a sense of confidence you didn't have before. Before, my hair was a security blanket. It was a statement. Shaving it off was a weird feeling, but one I had to learn to cope with. I've received a lot of positive comments on it and have even been told I look very attractive with my head bald. It definitely made me feel a lot better and confident in myself as a whole.

@ErikStone1 Жыл бұрын

I started losing my hair at 17, and it was devastating for me. High school kids can be brutal! I was extremely insecure about it for over a decade. Then a funny thing happened. I started to realize that the only reason I felt negative about my situation was that it wasn't the "norm" for a young guy to lose his hair. Once I got into my 30s, I started to see more and more of my peers starting to lose their hair also. Now in my 40s and most guys start losing a little. I no longer feel like the odd man. I wished someone explained that to me when I was younger...it would have helped me feel better about myself. I now prefer my shaved head. I shave it myself, so I never have to pay a barber, and I never have to worry about my hair getting messed up. No bed head, no hat head. Overall I look tougher and manlier. You do too, mate! The sooner you embrace it, the sooner you'll love yourself again.

I remember being more upset than I'd be willing to admit to people the first time I shaved my head, its such a massive change for blokes who've had longer hair their whole lives but have crossed a threshold and need to bite the bullet, it really messes with your self image. But my girlfriend told me any stranger who saw me walking down the street wouldn't think twice about my hair, it looks totally fine. The only reason its tough right now is because of how different it is to what I was used to. Same goes with you, you suit the short look, its looks fine and normal and no one would think twice about it. I got used to it pretty quickly and eventually felt a lot of relief, not constantly fixating on how my hair looked every time I saw a mirror has improved my life.

I completely sympathise with this especially when you said about looking ugly on the mirror, personally I still gate it and believe I was better looking with hair but after watching your video for the first time in over 11 years or possibly more you made me realise and think that maybe I think that way because we spend the last years holding on to out hair truing to style it in certain ways to hide it and me personally always use to picture when I had a full head of hair (that maybe the reason I keep hating being bold) and should maybe look in the mirror and realise yeah I ain't that bad... sorry for the long winded message but honestly it's a relief to think that way so thank you again 👍 this video really helps

Similar to the reaction I had when I first buzzed my hair down. Hated it. Thought I looked stupid. While I already knew my hair was thinning, I was surprised by how much the buzzing exposed what I hadn't seen before. My thinning had extended beyond what I already knew. I was mortified! I ended up growing it back, but now I knew the truth. I was thinning rapidly and I understood I could not hide it much longer. I ended up doing something similar to Harry. I buzz it off, I let it grow back, and just try to be comfortable with it no matter what. Openness is freedom. I'm certainly not the only man who is going bald, nor am I the only man who has chosen to buzz it off, or just exist with it as-is. The most important thing is just to be comfortable with your hair, no matter how much or how little you have.

Than my last haircut the barber didn't listen to me at all and basically gave me a number 2 buzz cut. I was mortified by how thin my hair actually is! It's been almost a month since and it's grown longer and doesn't look quite as bad, but now I know the truth. Now I can't get it out of my head.

Thing is, you have guys on YT shaving their heads that have model quality heads and facial features that just makes a bald look work, but bald really isn't for everybody, for instance i have a slim face, i just don't have a lot of fat deposits in my cheeks, just genetics, i know for a fact that i would never ever look good bald, even my family members were honest and told me that i must keep my hair, in fact i look kind of sick with very short hair, i pray to fucking god i never go bald, 31 and so far so good.

This is honestly how I feel about shaving . I have the same sort of pattern, but I just can’t bring myself to shave it although I know it doesn’t look good. I’m always walking around with a hood up, even in my own house. A few family members have already braved the shave but I’m scared in case women just won’t be interested. I shaved down to a 3 all over when Covid started, and hated it. I haven’t been able to even find the slightest bit of courage to do it since.

Bro I can totally relate how you felt at first about it! You have to look at the positives: you're young, you appear to keep yourself in shape that's a huge plus there! And you're not a bad looking guy with or without hair! And truthfully you still have enough of a hairline that keeping it shaved short still looks good with the beard and your build. You can go the route I did and get SMP -(Scalp Micropigmentation) to add the darkness and appearance of a full shadow on top which can blend in to what existing hair you have left- gives off a nicely shaved clean cut look! I eased the pain by also using a favorite Celebrity (wrestler Randy Orton) as a role model for my current new look which helped inspire me to go through with it. Being completely bald wasn't for me as I had lost all my hair on top probably wearing the hair systems for years killed what hair I had left there and they got more and more expensive plus in the heat I hated that glue on my head. SMP I can see being a good option for him and yes he looks much much better with it thinned out and blended shaved than grown out with obvious spots showing. Takes a lot of confidence and I feel for all these guys going through this hair loss journey. And Harry's KZfaq channel helped me majority realize that there's more to love in life than hair.

Man it looks so good - taken YEARS off you ! I started losing my hair when I was 17, I lived in hats and baseball caps until I was 30. Went to the barbers and he started cutting and I just said "Take it all off please" - he asked me a few times if I was sure. It was a HUGE shock and I had to walk through the city centre after, I felt very paranoid and vulnerable. But after a few days I started to take to my new look, especially when I went into work and my colleagues ALL said I look so much better for it. I would never go back to hair now even if there was a cure for baldness. Shaving my head a couple of weeks is so liberating !

Looks great! Just went through the same at 29 a few months ago, full close shave. At first it felt odd and I was self conscious about it. After a few months I do believe even if my hair came back I would stick with bald as I have come to love it. Funny saying that as 5 years ago it was shoulder length and I said I’d never cut it.
