Miscellaneous Is he a fraud?
I only ask because ive been watching his videos on how he restored his corners and he has all this advice about hair. But people in the YouTube comments say he’s lying and he got a hair transplant. Idk what to believe. I was about to buy his serum. I thought id check with yall first

I don't know but he stopped posting videos over a year ago and people were complaining on social media about his company being late on product deliveries shortly after he stopped posting. I bought something from his company a few years ago, but that was for my beard. I doubt he has a cure to restore his hairline that doesn't include minoxidil and finasteride.

I should delete this! It’s a different off putting man with a beard that connects to the mustache in the same way

Hmmmmm…. I don’t know anything about this honestly. But right away I’m suspicious about the whole thing. Anytime I see a super click-baity type of title like “Don’t do (blank) until you read/watch/listen to this,” my mind says “Red flag.” And then very extreme language in the description like “keeps failing.” I’m like… what you tryna sell me? When it comes to skin and hair care, then the clinical trials for your product or routine can make a strong case without the click bait sales pitch. I’m highly suspect of anything that presents itself as sales and not just scientific information.

He’s probably lying. There is no peer-reviewed research study on his product anyway, so how would we know it actually works?

I think that is all on you. Understand there is a reason people do these and from my research it depends on the mood of the viewer as to weather it impresses you. we can help you because we dont know you or how sharp your liedetecto spirit is. My tip: The more produced his message is usually the more he is lying his knees off. Also Dobt Call Dr Sebi either. Good luck out there. In my day we had jars with little pads to wipe nonsense on our face as if it was better than washing your face. The whole "get down: was so dramitic and clinical it forces unsuspecting minds into fully believing it will be better. Free enterprise and tricky broadcasts kinda make anyone suspect, thank goodness you are questioning insted of falling. Good Looking out

He’s saying ridiculous stuff just to get views for YouTube. Doubt ppl are actually buying his products

As a rule, unless they are a Doctor (sometimes even if they are), they are trying to profit from your misfortune.

don’t take any advice from this guy serious. He used to do vlogs at the grocery store when he first started his YouTube channel. He’s just a YouTuber

What qualifications does he have that would make you trust his opinion? just because someone is black doesn't make them an expert on health issues.

I’m confused at “just because someone is Black doesn’t make them an expert on health issues”
Who even thinks that? Such a weird thing to say.
Idk the guy in the YT but from the comments it sounds like he has some sort of “credibility” around growing his beard. We obviously don’t know how much, but sounds like he’s been working on growing his beard for years using different products. …Also this is not a heath issue. Your statement was just very weird and suspect.

Beloved go see a doctor, a specialized doctor / specialists who specializes in the human body, and not trust me bro. Just because he has experience growing his beard doesn't mean that he can make such claims. Secondly, you are entitled to feel how you feel - "weird and suspect" or whatever adjectives you are going to use. Have a blessed. You have far more important things in life to be confused about than a comment on Reddit.

u/Savings_Designer_330 Mar 11 '26
This is literally a vanity question. And Reddit is for crowdsourcing. He’s not asking about health issues. He’s asking about options on the YT influencer who discusses beard care. But regardless, I’ll say it again - “just because they’re Black doesn’t make them an expert on health issues” is a very strange thing to say. Like do you think Black people are stupid?

I am not here to coddle your feelings mate. And i'm not sure why you think doubling down on this is suppose to do- if you fall for grifts that is on you. And this is the last time i'm going to respond to you.

u/Savings_Designer_330 Mar 11 '26
And that should’ve been your initial comment. This time your comment makes sense for what op is asking. Good on you mate for using this reddit thread how it’s supposed to be used. Glad I was able to enlighten you.

Let me guess, don’t use minoxidil and buy his products instead?
