Welcome to Ewout's story. In this video you will see a transition over 3 or so months. In part 1 Ewout and I have a talk about his hair loss began and how it has affected his young adult life.
In part 2 filmed a few moths after part 1 Ewout decides the time is right to fully accept that he is losing his hair and going to shave it off. He begins with the gradual approach going for a short sided buzz cut initially. Realising that he loves the look he fully commits to the 0 guard buzz cut and then joins me again in part 3 to talk about how the head shave went and how life has been after going bald.
A special thank you to Ewout for sharing his balding story here at Baldcafe. What a legend and it looks fantastic. Thank you Ewout 🙏

I'm 18 and I'm already bald. It started thinning last year but at this point it got out of hand. All men in the family (mom and dad sides) are bald or balding so genetics are definitely a reason but what really triggered it was family and school situations that caused a great amount of stress. It definitely damaged my confidence and self esteem but friends and family have been really supportive about me going bald. It still hurts being bald so young but you know I couldn't do much. This is the longest comment I've written but I needed to blow off steam. Thanks for the support :')

He looks great! Love your vids man. Everyone in my family is bald, I am 21 with no sign of balding at all right now but i know it will happen. Your channel is really helping me to understand that, whenever it happens, it’s no big deal at all
My hair was showing no sign of balding until a few months ago, there are nights I wake up during the night thinking about how in a few years time I will be bald and not by choice and this would make me upset. This channel has given me lots of confidence and a new outlook on something I can't help :)

Hey baldcafe. Im 27 and noticed I was receding about 2 years ago. Ever since, Ive been taking a photo every 2 months to see its progression and it hasnt gotten worse since I noticed. Im glad Ive found your channel, if it gets really bad Im going to shave it off and just accept it for what it is. It's great to have a support channel like this in a world where going bald is made fun of. Cheers mate, keep up the good work. 👍👍

Found this channel a couple weeks ago and I am so glad I did. I am 28 and have been losing my hair since I was 21. I have been hiding it for years with taking time to fix my hair a certain way and even using kerafiber on certain important events. This led me to have some serious anxiety at times going places knowing that I am hiding a whole bald spot on the verge on shaving it all not to deal with it anymore but just afraid at the shock it will have on people that don't even realize I am balding. So ready to advance my life and accept it but so scared for the reaction and to feel like I will just be ugly or something. This channel is growing the courage inside of me. Thanks man, one day.
Up there with my favourites (Lucas and Joshi are up there too)! great look mate!

I'm gonna do it. This video convinced me. It has been such an enormous drag, I have lost such an incredible amount of time thinking, contemplating, worrying and beating myself up over this. I'm 22 and my hair started thinning three years ago. I hated it and it made me incredibly insecure. I'm ready now though. I'm done with thinking about it for the better part of every day.

People are telling me every day I look better without hair. I’m trying to growing up my beard, to compensate.
A huge improvement!

Great skull shape. Looks dope
You look more rugged man- you've got a good face and head shape for it. Well done!
This is the step that i took 2 weeks back, but I didn’t give up lol .. ill still try to fix it 😅 Bro u are doing really great job here Keep it up

Man at 11:10 that buzz looked amazing! Damn brother that is insanely good. Imo I don’t think you needed to go bare bald. That buzz was immense & could of easily of been maintained
He looks great!
Brothers i know it's difficult, but i love you all. Time flies away, better accept ourselves. This life is the only thing we have, and we don't know when it ends...
absolutely agreeing on that "knowing it's an option thing". i'm 23 and my hairline is receding slowly for the past couple of years (my hair is still pretty thick though). since my dad's basically bald it made me really nervous, so i shaved it all down to 1mm and voila, my head can rock that buzz cut pretty damn well! gonna grow it out again but now i'm much more confident if it ever gets to a point where i would have to shave it off
He looks so good.
Looking good bro
He looks incredible
he looks great clean smile too
He looks so GOOD.
He looks way better with the shaved look! (:
I have diffuse thinning and was sick of trying to cover it up so I buzzed my head today with a 1 and I'm not scared of balding anymore and wish I had done this sooner. I encourage all who are on the fence to just shave it, balding is the worst look and being bald is far better. Now I'm actually looking forward to going bald and completely shaving my head!

Oh man, Ewout, I really liked your video and it is great so see how positive and happy you seem talking about it. Being close to 50, I had some time to accomodate to the prospect of counting hair numbers backwards ;) I'm using the Corona time now for the gradual approach, just to see what I might like. But seeing your video, I definitely got one more option: to shave it all off when the time comes. Keep up the great work of your channel! Thanks!
