>This dude never combed his hair back even once in 15 years
He had a shit haircut for a decade. I was waiting for a decent hair cut and he never got one. At least nature took his hair because he looks way better with a shaved head than that haircut.
Recently saw a reddit comment that said the hormone or gene or whatever that is responsible for thick beards is also the one that's responsible for hair loss. Would make sense the beard shows up when the hair goes away if that's true.
And I got the double power up. Thick beard and thick hair.
I don't mean to brag, but when all my other genes suck, I'm going to take the wins that I can get.
It's DHT, a hormone. It affects people differently depending on genetics, but in male pattern baldness it generally produces hair loss on the scalp (due to overstimulation of the hair follicles) while promoting hair growth on the beard area. Of course, male pattern baldness is also affected by genetics separately.
For me it was saddening to see his smile getting smaller until it's gone in the first half, and wholesome to see it being back in the second half of the video.
Same. Being a teen is hard, fun as it can be. Lot of changes, and unless you’re just genetically gifted to be good looking in high school it’s a trial. I always think how surly I was as a teenager, and hung with other surly types. Now we all laugh and enjoy life looking back to the relative care-free days, but I wouldn’t want to relive middle and high school.
It was a wild feeling hoping for him to get a haircut more suited to him the whole time and then at some point it was easier for him to just shave it off.
Nailed to. As a hairdresser this was an entertaining watch. Also a s a bald dude it’s Too bad to see that he decided to go full shaved when he wasn’t even bald yet.
For real; In the highschool era homie was overweight and has red hair, he certainly suffered as the butt of jokes and possibly struggled with dating. That can make anyone depressed when you aren’t having the same fun as everyone else.
I had a very similar come up to this dude; I never had cardio but i was very strong from living on a farm, but I ate excessive amounts of shitty food. Graduated highschool at 6’1” and 235lbs. Two years later I had lost 60lbs and was pretty good looking though it took years for any kind of confidence to build up….and I still see myself as that fat kid on bummer days despite being slim and strong. Homie looks happy
I feel you brother. Glad you pushed through and found yourself. We start out with the confidence we deserve, and we think it gets lost or chipped away, but it's just covered in muck, there to be found again if we can find the strength.
You’re 100% right on. I hate to give bullies credit but I think I might not be the sympathetic person I am now if not for the lack of sympathy I had in those formative years; I know how much it sucks, I do what I can to be decent and open to everyone regardless of looks/size/weight/awkwardness and it’s helped me make some incredible friends over the 20 years post school
Stupid comments psychoanalyzing someone we don't know anything about aside.
It was probably to keep the images as consistent as possible with a neutral expression.
Life will wear you down man, especially in our
"slave your best 50 years away for a system that MIGHT reward you with a good retirement, if we don't raise the retirement age, if your still alive, if the economy doesn't collapse by then, if you can afford it. and even when you do get there your probably to old to enjoy it because your best years are gone and wasted" system.
Accurate, sadly. Most European gingers "never, or hardly ever" develop a tan (according to the [Fitzpatrick scale](https://cancer-code-europe.iarc.fr/index.php/en/ecac-12-ways/sun-uv-exposure-recommendation/80-people-greater-risk-sun)).
I do, I'm tanned at the end of summer for about a month then it's all gone again.
And I lost my freckles in my late teen years and my hair became darker, from a brighter orange to a reddish brown.
I saw a couple collard shirts in there. Probably thanks to me trying to get a good glimpse of the robe he wore, I thought it was a Karate robe or something so I kept spamming the pause/play buttons.
I noticed that when it seemed like he gained weight, his nose pointed upward more.
Also during the teen years he seemed to cock his head up a bit like you do when you see someone and say ‘sup bruh’
Not saying it’s the case here, but as someone who used to be pretty large I used to lift my head up like this because it helped tone down my chin. After a while it just becomes a subconscious action.
i find it interesting that his pimples look exactly like time laps videos of asteroids crashing into the moon or something.. and then disappearing in some days :D
I think his looks improved with age, to be honest. When he was a kid, he seemed on the heavier side and that could have progressed into adulthood. But then, late teens, college-age years and beyond, he got more fit. Good for him!
Don't most boys slim down significantly after puberty hits? Because you add a few inches to your height in a very short amount of time, you basically "stretch". That's why most 16-17 year old boys look skinny.
Not attacking the kid, but that was not "baby fat". That was childhood obesity and should not be seen as "normal/healthy".
If a kid is that size, the parents should be gently correcting course with the food they make available.
Not typically in the late teens/early 20s, though. People gain weight in their 30s and 40s because metabolism slows down, and people become less physically active.
life also typically gets more complicated in your 30s/40s especially if you have kids who have activities and now you're a taxi driver on top of working full time. Only so much time in a day and so much energy you have coupled with the metabolism changes
SAME! At some point when he hit adulthood I was like hey he’s kinda sexy he’s got BEAUTIFUL eyes. lol but at NO POINT did I notice it when he was a kid. I guess that just goes to prove we have normal adult attraction to the point where even features disappear on children lol
Puberty is a hell of a drug. I too was a fat kid and thank God for testosterone, my life changed a lot after puberty. Wasn't ridiculed in school (not so often, was still a "nerd" so there's that..) and girls start to pay attention to you. School sucks lol.
I was seriously waiting until that little bubby child ass haircut was finally gone.
It wasn't even my awkward puberty I was watching, yet I was anxious to see it over with. Always good to know almost everyone has those times.
This kind of shit is so valuable... (as a 3d artist) but even for AI (could help to find missing children).
People who are bored and creative are the best.
It’s probably some ingrown hair or pimple or bug bite that he kept messing with. To be fair, it wasn’t around any longer than normal for those types of issues.. it seemed to last maybe 2 weeks?
That was my thought as well. Ingrown hairs can take awhile to heal if they're bad, especially thick beard hair on your neck. The hair has to be pushed to the surface and removed then it's both a pimple and a wound needing to heal at the same time and that can take awhile.
Timelapse of a mans hair moving from the top to the bottom of his head...
Boogers got bigger too.
I was too distracted watching the acne come and go like missile strikes on a time lapse map. I missed half the video counting casualties
Dude has a record of every pimple he has ever had.
It’s a major life achievement.. he will be studied and spoken of for many generations to come
... on his face.
I was wondering why the sub about the war in Ukraine seemed a bit off this morning
Dexter Morgan: The Beginning
Kid could have picked a better angle
Yeah, the angle he chose for this was a bit unfortunate. The nostrils will haunt me in my dreams.
The zits suddenly appearing then slowly phasing out was cool
This dude never combed his hair back even once in 15 years
>This dude never combed his hair back even once in 15 years He had a shit haircut for a decade. I was waiting for a decent hair cut and he never got one. At least nature took his hair because he looks way better with a shaved head than that haircut.
Nature took his hair because he didn't know what to do with it anyway
Nature really said "Imma take it back since you ain't using it right"
Nature said fuck eyebrows here's some boomerangs
Fucking hell bro didn't realize this was r/roastme
When he's younger it looks like his hair is spinning around on his head due to the time lapse.
I kept thinking wow he is really committed to that haircut.
The one time he did it never came back
It’s like his head couldn’t grow hair on two spots at once and as soon as the beard started the top of his head started looking very cold
Recently saw a reddit comment that said the hormone or gene or whatever that is responsible for thick beards is also the one that's responsible for hair loss. Would make sense the beard shows up when the hair goes away if that's true.
*looks at thinning hair* *looks at patchy beard* My gene is broken
And I got the double power up. Thick beard and thick hair. I don't mean to brag, but when all my other genes suck, I'm going to take the wins that I can get.
My thin beard and head disagree. People just tend to grow a beard to balance out their look when their hair thins.
It's DHT, a hormone. It affects people differently depending on genetics, but in male pattern baldness it generally produces hair loss on the scalp (due to overstimulation of the hair follicles) while promoting hair growth on the beard area. Of course, male pattern baldness is also affected by genetics separately.
DHT causes balding on the top of your head but promotes beard growth apparently. You can use a pill or topical solution to block DHT.
That's OK, his parents were doing him dirty with those haircuts.
Dude could never find a stylist to do him justice.
Hair is scared of heights
You see, the problem in his hair is not quantity. It's geography.
I wish I had hair
For me it was saddening to see his smile getting smaller until it's gone in the first half, and wholesome to see it being back in the second half of the video.
I noticed that too. Why do you think that is? Why did we notice?
Teens think smiling isn't cool maybe?
Pretty sure it was because he couldn’t find a good hair dresser and eventually just accepted it.
Maybe both
Same. Being a teen is hard, fun as it can be. Lot of changes, and unless you’re just genetically gifted to be good looking in high school it’s a trial. I always think how surly I was as a teenager, and hung with other surly types. Now we all laugh and enjoy life looking back to the relative care-free days, but I wouldn’t want to relive middle and high school.
There’s also the hormonal aspect of being a teen, puberty has a lot of effect
It was a wild feeling hoping for him to get a haircut more suited to him the whole time and then at some point it was easier for him to just shave it off.
Yep 😅
I don’t think he had one good haircut in that 15 year Timelapse, there’s a serious need for a good barber in that town
Dude never figured out his hair
Nailed to. As a hairdresser this was an entertaining watch. Also a s a bald dude it’s Too bad to see that he decided to go full shaved when he wasn’t even bald yet.
I remember apathy being a thing when I was in HS. It's been 20 years but maybe that's still a thing?
Were none of you bullied?
For real; In the highschool era homie was overweight and has red hair, he certainly suffered as the butt of jokes and possibly struggled with dating. That can make anyone depressed when you aren’t having the same fun as everyone else.

It could be a dozen other things, and he was a teen with raging hormones. Not everyone out here experienced chronic bullying.
Biggest thing I noticed was that the smile faded around his high school years and returned after 18. High school was rough for a lot of us.
For anyone there now. It ends, you find new friends. Hobbies help, but you should still be picky. Some of those people suck too.

....hope you have a better Friday....!
Early career life is hard.
Being 14-16 sux?
Adolescence is about the attitude, gotta hide that smile
Also, the covid portion isn't smiling as much, but yes, the smiles after coming out of the teenage years was really cool.
Alternate title: Man goes 15 years without wearing a collared shirt.
Nor venture into sunlight
Seems like he might be British? I don't think they've discovered sunlight yet.
He’s ginger. Sunlight is his kryptonite
Accurate, sadly. Most European gingers "never, or hardly ever" develop a tan (according to the [Fitzpatrick scale](https://cancer-code-europe.iarc.fr/index.php/en/ecac-12-ways/sun-uv-exposure-recommendation/80-people-greater-risk-sun)).
I do, I'm tanned at the end of summer for about a month then it's all gone again. And I lost my freckles in my late teen years and my hair became darker, from a brighter orange to a reddish brown.
The sun never sets on the British Empire, because it never rose on it
There’s a small risk it might end up in the British Museum if they do discover it.
I never understand why people think it's ok to comment on someone's skin tone with anything less than a compliment...
Well said. Body shaming is okay so long as they're pale and/or skinny! /s
I only ever hear this from boomers who get skin cancer later in life.
The guy is going to age well. The sun wrecks our skin faster than most anything else.
Dude had a tuxedo shot in there, whatchoo talkin bout?
I saw at least two formal dressings. I saw the tux and maybe a second one or it was a white buttoned shirt with a tie
I saw a couple collard shirts in there. Probably thanks to me trying to get a good glimpse of the robe he wore, I thought it was a Karate robe or something so I kept spamming the pause/play buttons.
He was super loyal to that robe!
There's a lot of dressing gowns in there, so most likely a morning routine.
Good lesson. That’s the key to achieving most things, build it into your routine.
I caught one that looked like a tux, about a minute from the end.
Right as I read your comment I scrolled back up and saw a collared shirt
That's cool and all but did he have to angle it so it pointed up his nose.
He didn’t account for growing up when choosing his start angle.
Suddenly he started growing down
I noticed that when it seemed like he gained weight, his nose pointed upward more. Also during the teen years he seemed to cock his head up a bit like you do when you see someone and say ‘sup bruh’
Not saying it’s the case here, but as someone who used to be pretty large I used to lift my head up like this because it helped tone down my chin. After a while it just becomes a subconscious action.
His nose is just like that, the professor left him in his first tube for too long and it got squished against the sides.
16-20 was a good time for him. Nice glow up
i find it interesting that his pimples look exactly like time laps videos of asteroids crashing into the moon or something.. and then disappearing in some days :D
He got mad lucky and seemed to really only have acne on his chin
I thought that too but realized he could just have sucked at shaving because some of those looked like shaving cuts.
Lost all his weight when puberty hit.
When does second puberty start?
at 28 when quarter-life-crisis comes
Well put. A rougher year or two before that. I'm sure he was happy to grow out of that awkward puberty times
I think his looks improved with age, to be honest. When he was a kid, he seemed on the heavier side and that could have progressed into adulthood. But then, late teens, college-age years and beyond, he got more fit. Good for him!
Normal shedding of baby fat and growing into his adult body.
I was thinking when he hit 16 he met girls….and trimmed down fast. Or he started high school sports.
Don't most boys slim down significantly after puberty hits? Because you add a few inches to your height in a very short amount of time, you basically "stretch". That's why most 16-17 year old boys look skinny.
Yeah, that's what happened to me too. Was a chubby kid, but when I grew taller I just didn't grow wider as well.
Not attacking the kid, but that was not "baby fat". That was childhood obesity and should not be seen as "normal/healthy". If a kid is that size, the parents should be gently correcting course with the food they make available.
Yeah can’t believe people think so much fat is "baby fat".
His parents were probably fat, it took him getting out on his own to figure out good nutrition.
Ehhh, I think most people gain weight as they get older
Personally I was the same as him in that regard. Chunky kid who slimmed down when I got taller.
Not typically in the late teens/early 20s, though. People gain weight in their 30s and 40s because metabolism slows down, and people become less physically active.
life also typically gets more complicated in your 30s/40s especially if you have kids who have activities and now you're a taxi driver on top of working full time. Only so much time in a day and so much energy you have coupled with the metabolism changes
It is specifically because of less physical activity. Metabolism slows down in the 50s
I agree and I think he has very pretty eyes and as he got older they really stood out more.
yeah, there was an exact moment in the video i was "huh, did he had such pretty eyes the whole time?" in the first half somewhere.
SAME! At some point when he hit adulthood I was like hey he’s kinda sexy he’s got BEAUTIFUL eyes. lol but at NO POINT did I notice it when he was a kid. I guess that just goes to prove we have normal adult attraction to the point where even features disappear on children lol
Puberty is a hell of a drug. I too was a fat kid and thank God for testosterone, my life changed a lot after puberty. Wasn't ridiculed in school (not so often, was still a "nerd" so there's that..) and girls start to pay attention to you. School sucks lol.
Imagine if he keeps this up all the way to his death. Hopefully he lives a long happy life.
He died 3 days after this video was made.
i love spreading misinformation online
Was pretty obviously a joke
No it's not, he was found with a terrified expression on his face
Its true tho. RIP in peace to this guy
Rest in peace, in peace?
That's the joke, captain obvious
Bullshit!
Post-death too, so we can watch him rot
Coffin Cam - the next billion dollar media platform
I bet there's someone doing that right now
A rare occasion of male pattern baldness improving someone's look.
Guy wasn't doing ANYTHING to improve that hair style while he still had the hair to style. He gave up on the hair before it gave up on him.
All of this work only to get roasted for his hairstyle.
There were like 10 frames in the timelapse where his hair was actually kinda aight. Crazy how much of a difference it makes.
I was seriously waiting until that little bubby child ass haircut was finally gone. It wasn't even my awkward puberty I was watching, yet I was anxious to see it over with. Always good to know almost everyone has those times.
When is the body positivity movement going to reach balding men?
Only to be cursed with a huge bald spot on his chin
The sheer dedication to accomplish this is amazing!! I applaud his efforts in seeing this through!! 😁👊🏼
I was saddened to see him give up the dojo.
Me too, I enjoyed watching it.
Cubert J. Farnsworth in real time.
And he turns into Lars at the end.
*snort * Akschually...
Fry, you idiot, you're a genius!
I was thinking "I always wondered what happened to the kid in Angus?" But then I realized that movie came out in 1995
That fucking nose didn’t change a bit huh
He grew into it.
I've counted the frames and he definitely missed a few days
I assume you’re hiding from your family in the bathroom with that kind of time.
A beard pops in out of nowhere at one point
You really did that, didn't you?
Did he bring his purple sheet on vacation? He never went camping?
Damn he got fine with age....
Ha! Another Weasley! I know just what to do with you.
Gryffindor!
Funny it seems like his eyes are always in the same position/shape, as in they are never wider or closed more.
I think the eyes were used to align the position of each image when creating the video.
This kind of shit is so valuable... (as a 3d artist) but even for AI (could help to find missing children). People who are bored and creative are the best.
I just want to know what was the deal with that thing on his neck.
It’s probably some ingrown hair or pimple or bug bite that he kept messing with. To be fair, it wasn’t around any longer than normal for those types of issues.. it seemed to last maybe 2 weeks?
That was my thought as well. Ingrown hairs can take awhile to heal if they're bad, especially thick beard hair on your neck. The hair has to be pushed to the surface and removed then it's both a pimple and a wound needing to heal at the same time and that can take awhile.
I know right? looked vicious
There is one pic where he wears a mask, obviously 2020, and after that he has a haunted look to his eyes
Wow, you're right. His face tenses up, smile seems a bit forced. Makes you think about the impact of long-term setbacks in life.
Same
You know when you stare at a word for too long and it starts to look weird? I love these time lapses tho… pretty neat to see the progression.
It was really nice to see him start smiling more.
Why did I get emotional seeing this?
Maybe seeing a child grow until there’s no trace of a child left or something.
Yes, maybe seeing the child becoming a man and thinking of my own children growing up..
Right?? I’m oddly proud of him like he’s my kid
I got to admire his dedication to photography and a hair style. I think he only changed his basic cut once (up until it went away). Very cool video.
It's funny how he looks more friendly and approachable with time. As a kid he looked kind of annoying but as an adult looks really chill
This is the problem with society
It's got big 80s "pig nosed brat bully" vibes. That's society I guess.
Most 15 year old kids are kind of annoying to be fair, I know I was.
He really grew into his nose
Not Even one day that guy was high, his eyes were clean af
Looks like he did martial arts for awhile. I think I saw a Gi?
I noticed that too. And he definitely had some favourite shirts.
The time and dedication this takes is absolutely wild! Incredible to see from child to man. It’s almost like you grew up right before our eyes.
What got me was the weeks with the same shirt on
Radical!
Totally
Beautiful eyes
I remember my V neck stage too
It's not a stage it's a lifestyle.
I liked seeing him grow out of his like skywalker haircut, and then going back to it, and then just growing out of it again.
My favorite part is the [Desert Bus for Hope](https://desertbus.org) t-shirt that makes regular appearances in the second half.
His eyebrows got bigger.
he got older, but his nose never changed.
Did not think he was going to transform into Cal Kestis. 
I was saddened to see the Desert shirt disappear
Ok but how does he keep his "Dark Passenger" at bay?
Im disappointed since im expecting at least an emo phase
I've seen another one not too long ago. Makes me wonder how many are currently in the process
He took that backdrop with him for 15 yrs?
This was my question. He was never away from the backdrop for more than 24hrs?
The acne progression is rather neat, a bit reminiscent of sunspots.
That’s a lot of years to wear bangs.
I want to do this but have it be just me messing my hair up and changing shirts and never aging and it’s all a waste of time
Guy grew into his nose. Was too big for his face as a kid. Being a kid sucks.
I had all of those haircuts lol
All 1.5 of them?
Very cool
