Indian Men Are Risking Lives To Avoid Going Bald | Deadly Beauty 

It is more like promotional video for hair transplant clinic owned by Dr Handa, than awareness documentary about it is ok to lose hair and be bald. Vice has lowered their standard

I started losing my hair when I was 23. The mental stress was unimaginable in the beginning. Most people I knew started making fun of me or treated me like I was a different person. Then I completely shaved off my head. I'm purpose driven now, and I don't easily get intimidated because I take whatever life throws at me. The same people that made fun of me now respect me because I ended up becoming an artist. People will look for every opportunity to make you feel less of a man, never take it personally. Everybody is suffering in some way or the other. Don't be hard on yourself for something that is outside of your control. A lot of people don't have a lot of things. Appreciate the gift of life. Embrace the change and be a good human being.

I was going bald at the age of 18, decided to go completely blad...best decision I've ever made.

the bald anchor looked the best in the entire video

Am 24 and I started losing hair since I was 20. In the past one year, I lost 80% of my hair from the crown part. Now I look like a 34 year old guy. Most of my cousins call me uncle. Many of my friends call me grandfather. As am a govt job aspirant, many of my relatives ask me, ' what will I do with a job now since I lost all my hair?' 'who will marry me?' and all those shit. And ofcourse, some of my relatives keep reminding me that I've gone bald during public gatherings or family gatherings, as if I didn't know that am going bald. And because of this, my confidence has dropped beyond zero. I avoid facing people of my age. I avoid going outside with friends and group. I try to stay alone as much as I can. because I have no confidence left. The more I try to accept myself, the more the people let me down. Still surviving with the hope that when I get a job, I'll move away from these toxic people. When I look back, just two three years back, I cry for myself seeing what I was and what I am now. Society is leaving no stone unturned to make me feel even worse. But am optimistic that times will change. I'll find a society which will accept me in a way that I am and that will appreciate me for my talent and not my hair. Just need some motivation and confidence 🙂

As a bald man - it didnt affect my dating life when I shaved it off. I think its natural to fear baldness but theres a good portion of men who still look decent bald.

People need to understand just because you feel comfortable with your shaved head that doesn't mean others feel it too, as a person who is experiencing severe hair fall (myself included) and many other options have failed, this seems like a good solution. It all comes down to personal choice like the host of this video. So please don't criticize others who are going through this route cuz you don't know what they are feeling inside. 🙏😐

I m bald at the age of 32. My hairline started receding at the age of 20. I would say overall personality, fitness and boldness matter . I have celebrated my baldness.

People who are saying "appearance are deceptive" should stfu, looks matters I'm repeating LOOKS MATTERS...it definitely affect our daily life and i feel so bad for living in the society like this

To all my bald (or to be bald) brothers out there- Don't worry, you are not alone. We are together! P.S : I started loosing hair when I was 17 and now at 25, I am not yet completely bald but crown portion is visible.

Getting bald in India is like you are grandpa to everyone, no matter if you are younger than them, they will call you uncle 🤣🤣

I am an Indian getting bald but never thought of hair transplant. Rather inspired by the Hollywood 😊, I hv adopted the new style of keeping the hairs at almost shaved level, and working on my fitness and physique. Want to be bald, bold, badass and fit.

I didn't know it led to something as serious as death😢. Thank you for your report

It's not easy. Social pressure is high. Men with good hair are considered more attractive. Women rank men with good hair higher on the desirable hierarchy. This ultimately messes with your self confidence. It's as simple as that.

i just razor it every day and i couldn't be happier. i started losing my hair at 21 and it def took a little while to accept and deal with. now i fully accept whats happened and roll with it with pride.

Meanwhile, the presenter is smoking hot even though he's bald. I think this is deliberate. Yes, many bald men are very good looking.

it's really the society that rotten to it's core my older brother is a body builder and has built muscles like you see in internet through hard training but first thing people notice is less hair on his scalp and short height and say you have nice muscles but you lack on hair and height.

I started losing hair when I was in my late teens. First phase was panic mode when I tried the craziest things to make it stop but it wouldn’t. Second phase when it wouldn’t stop was to blame it on my diet, my genes and my weight and tried to do more crazy things. Then came the depressed Phase where I just gave up. As I grew older I started loving myself for who I was including my bald head. Just had to see myself in a different way. To all my fellow bald men out there, change your perception about yourself instead of expecting others to change.

15:35 Thanks for sharing my journey. In case it is not clear, My Hair Transplant correction surgery was done by Dr. Pradeep Sethi & Dr. Arika Bansal of Eugenix Hair Sciences and not by the shown doctor. awareness, not money is the most important factor to achieve a good hair transplant result.

I'm a bald Indian man who grew up the west. Came to visit India for a month. And I can say there is absolutely no love or appreciation from women here for bald guys. Think it would be extremely difficult or near impossible for a bald man to find love in India.

this reminds me of the 2 chinese guys in tiktok selling toupe's/wigs for bald men. I honestly hope that wigs/toupe's would become the norm instead of hair transplants as it's safer for people. I mean women do it too with makeup and wigs, why not men

I think its so cool how they use english words and switch between their language and english so smoothly

Sometimes it's all about being kind to each other. Physical appearance doesn't or shouldn't define a person but sadly we live a community where skin colour, Hair, Height etc are factors that define one. Most people go through such traumas right from their childhood which takes a toll on their confidence and as a human being we should stand for people who go through such bullying and call out the people who does them.

between this and the height doc- can someone just go over there and tell indian men that it'll be okay and someone will love them for themselves? hearing all this (haven't watched yet) is heartbreaking. there needs to be more body positivity for men (as is with women, and without taking away from) because guys are dying over their height, hair and nonsense that doesn't matter.

It's very thoughtful of VICE to pick an anchor who's decently bald. W move.

HAIR LOSS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL WORLDWIDE WHY CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY OR THINK ABOUT YOU JUST BE YOURSELF ‼️

We have come this far in our life where we need to please our society about how we live. People might deny it but its true that what we do, we do it to please others even if it's not comfortable. We wear tight clothes which we later on change with comfortable clothes when no one is around. Just like people undergo plastic surgeries to look good for others. Why do we care so much what others think about us? It's the perspective we have created. People will comment no matter what you do. If I am shorter than the average good looking height, will I change my height and undergo dangerous surgery to please others so that they will compliment me that i am tall and handsome. A big No. So stop pleasing others and live your life as you want to. What if you are bald? No problem. Just be a good human being, that's what is important. People should love you for ho you are and not for how you look. You Mom is not gonna leave you if you go bald or if you even lose your leg.

On a contrary, I have been told that I look better without hair. I have learned to love my sexy bald head. PS- Yes, it's my original picture.

Its real tragedy how balding people are treated. I know because i suffered it too.

I started going bald at 19 and I have been shaving my head now for 27 years. Bald is beautiful! People need to learn that being different is OK. I also agree this was very poor production for Vice

As an India due receding Hairline and crown balding pattern I started to shave my Hair. Keep a nice beard style to complement your look! Benefits of Bald❤‍🔥 1) You look more masculine, hot and sexy! :) 2) Cost Saving without visiting Barbershop

I am 29 and I started losing hair very early. Initially it used to lead to moments of severe anxiety, panic and embarrassment. Then finally I decided to shave off my hair at 21. Since then I have been doing just fine. But yes, my dating life for sure has been affected. I believe majority of the girls don't want to date or marry me. But then again, if you try you can always find out ways to be happy and joyful in life. I am quite happy in life right now tbh.

As a woman I can say this, there are some of us who love the bald look.

Male pattern baldness is hereditary not from stress.

I don't think anyone needs plastic surgery for any reason your perfect just the way you are.❤️👍

Doc : If you dont have hair,in hindi you're called ganja Stoner: ....

My hair started thinning gradually in my 30s. I had my transplant done in Turkey 7 months ago (age 41). Best thing I’ve ever done. Feel so good to look in the mirror and have a full hairline ❤

If anyone reading this, my personal experience to slow down hair fall in very early stage: I started loosing hair in 2 nd year of clg due to hereditary problem 1st thing i did was shaving off my hair I shave my hair at least twice a year sometimes more After shaving I start oiling my scalp(any natural oil coconut, mustard, amla etc) Use dermaroller once in a day or two and after that oiling Stopped using shampoo and gel shampoo only like once in 2 months Cause in my experience: less blood flow in the scalp area, DHT , pollution and change of water Its been 6-7 years and after comparing my old pics i can say i slowed down hair fall dramatically

Was going bald at 21, wore toupee for a year, really got tired of it and just didn't feel real. Started shaving my head and grew a goatee. Best decision I ever made. I feel free and no more shampooing.

The bigger issue is self esteem - I am Indian, and I lost my hair early in my late 20s. Initially I panicked but the sooner I embraced it and just shaved my head - I’ve never looked back. I feel more confident - as people should embrace you the way you are. Personal insecurity if you feel judged being bald - I’ve learned this in hindsight. As they say “rock what your momma gave ya”.

i mean- just look at the surgeon himself. he's happy w whatever he got naturally ig (seems like he haven't gone throughout a single surgery) he looks good for his age .

My hair started falling when I was 23 but because of my beard it doesn't make me look weird, now many people admire me for having good beard and bald head, I don't care for their negative opinions, this is what I got in my fortune so I'm accepting it with gratitude

Maybe dr handa is a good doc but to see him do this procedure without a mask is really unfortunate…to wear a mask,skull cap,sterile gloves & an OT dress is d most basic & most important 1st step in any surgery,even if it’s a very minor one…

i had mine done in india..was a norwood 7-8 for 20 years..im a norwood 1 now..make sure to choose your doctor carefully..my donor areas were weak yet result came out great..9200 graphs in total in which 3000 hairs taken from my beard..cost me less than 2000USD..would cost 5 times more in my country malaysia..

I don't have a receding hairline, I have a proceeding forehead

My hairline started receding when i was in my early 30s. I could still rock a good head of hair then. However, i started to be uncomfortable with the rate of hairfall as the days progressed. I did try many treatments and oils and pills but to no avail. Till, one fine day, i took the buzzer and took off everything. The sense of liberation and freedom is phenomenal . The confidence in sporting a blad head is something i never thought id have . Been shaving my head twice a week now for the last 10 years and i feel i look younger with a blad cue than with hair on me

Over 30 years ago, only elderly men in India were balding. Now it's youngsters. What has changed? Diet, masturbation, exposure to chemicals, stress

Indian men going for hair transplant, whereas men in the west accepting baldness and making it a fashion statement.

I am literally getting an ad for hair growth, which will help men from stop going bald. I am from India 😨

Only a soul in pain can understand the other

It’s a big problem… young men are loosing hair because of hormonal problems, food/ nutritional issues

Choose a woman who don't make you feel bad about your baldness and that can solve more than 90% of your problems.

As someone in their 60’s I can tell U that n the grand scheme of things losing your hair is a hurdle but it doesn’t need to be debilitating. Debilitating is losing your ability to see or walk or live a healthy life due to chronic illness. Ultimately U have to find your true self from within not from outside. I cannot control the world but I can control myself and my own perception about myself. As someone who hates myself when I was young because I didn’t look like people I knew, I learned to improve on the good qualities I possessed and as I started to look at the world differently, the world looked and treated me with respect and admiration. The world is a really big place and as I expanded my environment I learned that for the most part people are not focusing on you they r focusing on themselves. Consider that Losing your hair is not the worse thing that can happen to u n life but despondency over your hair loss is detrimental to your mental and physical health. It is hard going through the world hating yourself so stop.

The first guy had his botched hair transplant surgery from Carewell Medical Center and the correction surgery from Eugenix hair sciences. He has a RU-vid Channel by the name of THE ALPHA YASAR.

i noticed most indian women have very thick hair but many men started going bald later on, some even bald before they reached their 30s, why?

People don't want to change for themselves,but for the people, especially those fake subscribers. Just damn the world and lead your carefree life.

It’s always shocking to hear about someone outside of girls dying for plastic surgery. Maybe more will actually be done about social media and media contributing to self hated and body dysmorphia.

It's matter of self confidence. You can still look good and if not even sexier with a bald head. It's just matter to represent yourself. You can have a heavy Bush on your head, but it's no of use, if the brain underneath is missing.

Don't let your weakness be exploited by anyone

The irony is I am getting Hair Transplant Advertisements for this video in between🤦🙃.

It's okay to get hair or remain bald... Choice has to be yours ... Not of society...my boyfriend remained bald for 4 years with all good looks then he thought for a change... I love him in both ways.. then best part he never thought of society

I have 5indian friends and 3of them went bald,I guess it’s very prevalent there

When my hair started thinning out, I decided to go bald all the way. I've never looked back!

My uncle got a hair transport done in India and they messed it up bad. He basically got an infection on his top front head which reached his skull. So they had to remove that part of the skull that was infected and now he suffers memory loss.

Vice covered it good, but need more tough questions on it

So sad. It must be worse for the women who have hair loss.

As a guy in early 20s I've got hair that reach till my lower back and i face criticism all the time from people of all ages. I just focus on myself and do what i like. The day I'll start losing hair I'll simply shave my head and get a badass tattoo on the scalp. In the end embrace what you have and dont give a fuck what others think. Kuch toh log kahenge logo ka kaam hai kehna

I'll be going for a transplant in 2 months. Whatever happens, happens. There are many comments here about people losing their hair in their 20s, but in real life, it's very rare. As I'm going through this in my 20s, I feel completely alone. Everyone around me in my age group has a full head of hair while I have this pathetic excuse of a hairline. I haven't met a single person in my age group going through the same thing that I am. I used to be good looking, used to get attention from girls, used to look good in pictures, used to feel comfortable and confident, but my now half bald head has ruined everything.

“Being comfortable with a receding hairline is a privilege.” LMAO. That’s one way to describe a coping mechanism.

you just have to be confident in whatever shape color you are. that's what i have seen in every successful person.

Having hair transplant is not a big deal.You have to choose a good doctor after research. I had done transplant one year back and consider as one of the best decision I have ever made.

Having a hairline makes you younger.. i got bald at 22yrs, and have looked like a 40yr old since then. I am 29years and i still look like someone in my late 30s or early 40s. A good hair is worth the investment

Moral of the story - don't go cheap for surgery.

Having great hair > shaving your head >>>>>>> having shitty hair/balding Go bald guys, you'll be fine. I was stressed for a few years 24x7 because my hair looked practically scorched and male pattern baldness. Saying fuck it and shaving my head was a such a relief. Like a huge burden got lifted from my shoulders. Dont get me wrong, i do wish i still had my hair.. I had great hair up till a point. But then it stopped being great and age and genetics kicked in. It was a very depressing time. I wouldn't want that for anybody. I also think more male Indian celebrities need to endorse their balding. If every khan is getting a hair transplant then of course it subconsciously makes the viewer feel like their is something wrong with them/they are not attractive if the don't have hair. And perhaps there is truth to this.. You might not be appealing to a certain demographic of women anymore but trust me, there will be a whole another demographic that opens up that is not represented on TV.

Risking your life for a hair transplant sounds crazy to me. I like being bald but hate I have to shave daily to make it happen..

women truly dont care if the man they love has hair or no hair, as long as not doing silly comb over, we just want our men to be with us, doesnt matter for the hair , a bald head is just as sexy to be honest

Well nobody is gonna blame women and society for setting this unattainable standards now, will they?

No!! You're so handsome! Please men don't feel it takes away from your looks to be bald

Whoever reading this, THERE'S NO NEED FOR TRANSPLANT. you are a MAN , you feed your family take stress and work hard . chill, balding is normal, no need for approvals.

'''I had no shoes, and I was sad, THEN, I met a man who had no feet'''' I was about seven years old, going to school the first day and my old shoes was falling off my feet, while all the other kids were well put together. I cried all the way to school and pretended to be sick so as not to go out to recess. The teacher said OK, read this book in the meantime. When I opened the book, the first thing I saw was the above old, Syrian Proverb. I haven't sweated the little things of life since.

I’m confused. The guy interviewing has almost no hair

Baba Sehgal, Johnny Sins, Dominic Toretto, They are all Bald.😀

Literally the best thing I've done for myself. Every guy over 35 should get their Testosterone checked, and a hair transplant if they need it. I did a few videos on my channel about mine if anyone wants to check them out.

Surprisingly, no body questions poor "modern" lifestyle habits like smoking, drinking, gutka, junk food, no oiling hair, sleeping late, normalizing masturbation, etc .... coz it is glamorized by Bollywood and served by round the clock titillating media, through ads to increase consumerism. But yeah, don't question "us", it is our personal "poor" choice.

If a girl/boy loves you because of hair, fair skin, body etc.... Better leave her/him and search for true partner... Cheers

TO THE men in India: it's not the hair or height that makes a person attractive. If your hairline is receding, take a decisive action and shave the whole thing off; don't hide it. If you are short, compensate by practicing your ability to make women laugh. Smile a lot and be an all-around nice person.

Indian men aren't risking their lives. The procedure is tried, tested, safe very popular now, our doctors are highly competent and today science has come far enough to solve all these problems at a decent rate. So it's up to the individual as to what he wants to do...

My colleague just wear a hairpiece. Less risk, nearly the same effect.

That doctor is using normal syringe for an anesthesia which is so bad. Latest syringes are available which causes no pain at all. I had my hair transplant from Pakistan and my doctor uses that syringe. I think it's a minimally invasive surgery nothing to be worried about if done with right hands.

Hey I love bald men! 😥 Mujhe toh nahi mila koi🤧

My hair is perfect, I want to go bald to be the Top G of Mumbai

This is why you can’t fight what God himself made.

Anchor doesn't need this , he is already handsome

I was having thinning issues, I buzzed my hair. I was so liberating

Cosmetic surgeries and procedures have seen a massive growth in our country. Hair transplants, Botox, implants, permanent makeup and what not. There are plenty of “aesthetic surgeons” in the market today, most of them aren’t even equipped to do the procedures correctly, unlicensed, unprofessional. Not saying everyone isn’t doing their jobs correctly, there are good docs too. I’ve seen failed permanent makeups, for those who don’t know about permanent makeup, it’s mostly done on eyebrows, lips and cheeks. Receding eyebrows and hairline are corrected by giving them volume. It is done by a special needle, like the one used in tattooing, although the ink is same. In short, it’s like a tattoo only. No grafting or any other surgical procedure is done. Small hair like strands are made to add more volume to the eyebrows or scalp. Mind you, it’s a tough procedure, obviously because it is related to someone’s facial image and structure. I’m myself a tattoo artist, but I refrain from doing any permanent makeup, although I was heavily insisted by my mentor to try it out, according to him it’s more expensive than a tattoo, the procedure can milk out more money from the client. I’m absolutely not confident to play with someone’s facial image and I’m not a medical certified professional. I even suggest that there should be a licensing and regulatory body in the tattoo industry too. What I’m trying to say is, there are multiple tattoo artists and beauticians who just attend “workshops”. practice on artificial skins and are ready to launch. The saddest part is, no one is licensed or trained under medical experts. Quality of ink, needles are highly neglected in most of the places. Infection, fading, dis figuration of face due to botched up eyebrow work is common and I’ve seen clients fighting and taking legal actions. It’s a humble request and I urge everyone who is planning to do these types of procedures, be it surgical or no surgical. For god sake please do your research, don’t just go with the cheapest option available. Do your research, enquire about everything used in the procedure and all the history and background of the expert, communication is the key and it’s better to be safe than sorry. It’s a medical procedure, you can’t afford things going in the wrong direction. I recently visited an “aesthetic clinic” for my trial session for a tattoo removal, the doc seems to be very confident and knowledgeable. The procedure started and I was blindfolded, just to avoid any problem happened to my vision by the laser. Procedure started and I was okay with the pain, after a while I started to feel some pain and discomfort. I requested the doc to please take a break and stop, had a burning sensation on the treated part, in order to pacify me from the pain the doc was kind of tapping gently on the treated part. I removed my eyepatch and was shocked to see, the doc was not wearing gloves and was touching the treated part where blood was oozing out. The next thing I did was to consult another doc 😂. So my lads, please do your research.

I started noticing severe hairfall when i wasn't even 19 and untill just a year ago people used to like me just because of my hair. I still have the one year gap pictures of mine, it felt like I went from 18 to 28 in one year, lost all my confidence, became anti social, it affected me real bad, I'm 25 now and things haven't improved at all

Im 18 year old girl. Im not bald or anything. Have thin hairline. My doctor recommended me to have hair transplant. My friends and family thinks its a good idea. I guess I'll be getting soon

Just wear a hair system . Safer and no one knows

$15,000 for 3,000 grafts in Houston; my neighbor just got his receeding hairline done.

ohh myy godd!! indian men can learn to wear turban.. Turban is a pride of India...
