The fact that he started years later and regrow was still possible is just amazing!

Hair loss is a curse. It’s ruined my life in so many ways. An absolute curse. I 100% support this guy, rooting for you brother

From the time I was 18 years old until I hit 49 - I always cut my hair very short, almost bald. I was under the impression that if my head was going to go bald due to genetics. Well the opposite happened. I got the genes from my moms side and have begun to let my hair grow out. I am almost two years into my journey of long hair. I love it. Glad I never grew it out when I was younger - now I get to experience long hair as a older guy. And only a few grays to boot.

I'll tell you what I notice about the vast majority of this "if you're going bald, just shave it all off and be proud about being bald, own your baldness" type of content. It's the facetious and sadistic mockery that goes into this type of content. No, you're not supposed to be "proud" of something that makes you feel bad, and yes it does, nobody likes going bald, it's not a nice thing, it's not a beautiful thing, and one thing is you wanting to shave your hair off and "wear" a hairstyle, say, a buzz cut, it's ANOTHER thing entirely NOT having the option NOT to, it's sad and, if you can and you always can, FIGHT IT.

My routine:
• Apply warm Littllleextra Cocoonioon oil and gently massage my scalp and tie hair in a protective hairstyle.
• I usually wake up at 8:00 am, but I wash my hair around 12:30 pm, so 14 hours later, I do my hair wash.
• Wet my hair with warm water.
• Use Cocoonioon shampoo about twice.
• Rinse and use plenty of hair conditioner.
• After 10 minutes later, I rinse with cold water.
• Dry my hair with a microfiber towel.
• Use a towel turban.
• Apply a lightweight serum after 30 minutes.
• Comb through to detangle.
• Allow my hair to air dry naturally.
• Secure my hair in a ponytail.
My hair is 10 inches long and I have 1b hair.
I usually do this only once a week on Sunday.

Could at least put the video in the description

I'm a woman and I must say that he looked sexier when he was bald

[eswarjuri]

Why tf does he act like most men don’t care about their hair? Most young men do care about there hair, which is why guys like him get so popular!

[skedtm]

So no link or mention of what he used.... helpful

[clavin__]

[ArashidXD]

Bro my brother is 15 and his temples are pushing back 💀

[Thedrysurrealbloke]

Was rosemary oil better then minoxidil.

[berkehan]

minoxidil is not a perminent solution, when you stop using it, you will lose your hair again, its just not worth it

[istiakahmedsazid]

Bro, I'm 16 but I'm losing a lot of hair. I would appreciate any advice, please 🙏

[kaustavkapil]

I wish I could get my hair back. I am 22 and nearly all bald

[hwqcnmc]

i’m 18 and have it bad it’s very long rn so it’s it’s covering

[mikimaus]

I don't know why they call minoxidil, finasteride and ketoconazole the Big 3 when there's only One Big and it is finasteride. Minoxidil and ketoconazole won't do a s**t for your hairloss. They are dependent on fin, but fin can bring good results on it's own, everything else is just waste of money.

[thesloveniaboy]

If you start balding at 19 than no meds will help you in the long run. Eventually you will be Norwood 7. ☹

[mikimaus]

Stress isn't a cause for hairloss as some people say. If it was we wouldn't be losing hair just on the top but also on sides and back of head. Horseshoe pattern hairloss is sign of bad family genes nothing else. But anyway, being under stress won't help regrow your hair.
