My Reaction To This Guy Wearing a Hair System For Less Than a Week...

everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i think this video is reductionist, and simply does not portray an accurate depiction of life with a hair system, and why people choose to use hair systems.

Symptoms
In men, hair often begins to recede from the forehead.
Male-pattern baldness
Women tend to lose hair along the part.
Female-pattern baldness
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) is sometimes preceded by itchy or painful scalp.
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
Repeated stress on the hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia
t's becoming increasingly common for menopausal women to experience frontal fibrosing alopecia, in which the hairline moves back.
Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hair loss can appear in many different ways, depending on what's causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually and affect just your scalp or your whole body.
Signs and symptoms of hair loss may include:
Gradual thinning on top of head. This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting people as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede at the hairline on the forehead. Women typically have a broadening of the part in their hair. An increasingly common hair loss pattern in older women is a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia).
Circular or patchy bald spots. Some people lose hair in circular or patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.
Sudden loosening of hair. A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing or washing your hair or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning but is temporary.
Full-body hair loss. Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in the loss of hair all over your body. The hair usually grows back.
Patches of scaling that spread over the scalp. This is a sign of ringworm. It may be accompanied by broken hair, redness, swelling and, at times, oozing.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you are distressed by persistent hair loss in you or your child and want to pursue treatment. For women who are experiencing a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia), talk with your doctor about early treatment to avoid significant permanent baldness.
Also talk to your doctor if you notice sudden or patchy hair loss or more than usual hair loss when combing or washing your or your child's hair. Sudden hair loss can signal an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.
People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually isn't noticeable because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair that has fallen out.

I get the feeling that his whole idea is luxury or more expensive means perfect quality without looking at actual factors that affect the experience. I feel he dove in with 0 research but full expectations. Good review man. Got my first system through a partnership and I’m expecting to struggle for a while until I get the ins and outs. Your videos at least have given me an idea of what things to look at.
It’s humorous watching the guys reaction now that I’ve had years of experience wearing a system. It’s a lifestyle change, a learning curve and you have to want it. It’s only a pain or setback if you look at it as such. Also the dude got ripped off imo, it’s cheap when you figure out how to maintain yourself!

Hey Jake, thanks to watching your channel For a few months I finally did it and got a hair system I've had it on for a little over a week and it's going well watching the sky makes me laugh because haven't seen any of those problems yet and it's still on my head. Everything you taught and warned about has been just about 100% accurate. Keep up the videos you're making a difference. You're like my friend that I call when I need guidance I'll keep you posted
I commented on his video a couple of weeks ago - he’s been badly supported, informed and overcharged. Shame he hadn’t gone somewhere that offered the above and I have a feeling he wouldn’t have had made a video in this vain. ❤
Hello Jake, I'm glad you did this video. It's so important that other people who may stumble across his video get another perspective. As such I went over and commented on it myself. I echo what others already said: he paid too much, he didn't do his research, his expectations were way off, he really didn't give it enough time and apparently didn't speak up with the stylist he paid good money to. I hope he does more research with implants because that's a whole different level of commitment! Always appreciate you Jake, thank you.
Thanks Jake for your videos and your reviews! Very glad to hear what you and others experience. from these comments below, sounds like your viewers are experienced and spot on too.

Yep, was the same for me and I even told them "don't give me a huge Elvis quiff, I wanna keep it subtle". Got a quiff anyway and had to fix it myself.
It's so dangerous when people represent hair transplant surgery as just matter of fact and like it's no big deal like that Javier guy did. There are so many bad hair transplant docs out there and you can be scarred for life. I'm not saying some people don't get amazing results, but you need a really good donor area and a truly talented doctor AND you'll be on meds forever. It is not simple surgery, it's a big deal and needs to be researched and not entered into lightly.

Finasteride side effects are also HUGELY understated. The 1% effected number is a JOKE! DHT plays a huge role in brain and sexual functioning, Some people can take the hit from lowering it and others cannot at all even w the help of free t being high or on trt. (The whole dht is a trash hormone concept is just plain wrong.) I’ve spent alot of time researching the best route and unfortunately if I’m true to the evidence for me there is no way but bald or hair system. I refuse to fix the problem through messing w my my biology whenever the outcomes do not help my overall health.

Love this video! Like any change in your life, you have to give yourself time to get used to it or you'll never capture the learning curve, thus eventually improving your quality of life. Change can be scary, but if you give it a chance, it can improve the quality of your life tenfold!
So good to have you back

Hey Jake my friend, I’m keeping you accountable, you were said you were going to make two videos a week!
I love my hair system but it always come loose on top dont know its the hair drier or what I wish it would stay
Anyone know where you can get full hair systems. I have dupa
I was 63 when I got my first piece and style. OMG i walked out looking like Elvis. Was so embarrinssing I literarly ripped it off when I got home.
Thank you for sharing your story with the world.

My first experience, I felt like I looked like rip Taylor, in the 70s,lol!
I spotted this video before seeing yours here. I left him a polite and (I hope) constructive comment as I was also concerned about a number of things he said. He didn't react well, which suggests to me he's a bit thin skinned. Something certainly doesn't add up when he appears to boast about spending thousands on a daily shopping trip but then segues into "cheap" hair transplants in Turkey. I only ask that guys who are considering a hair transplant in Turkey do a lot of research as the standard of regulation is not the same as in the UK, EU and US. Plus, if something goes wrong it is a long way to go back and/or in the worst case to take legal action....On a personal note, I had my first system fitted a month back (in London where I live). A transplant is not an option for me as I have thin horse shoe hair (something to think about as it has thinned over the years and had I had a transplant from these areas I don't think it would look too good now). I have had no problems with irritation. I do appreciate that everyone is different, but that there are all sorts of tapes and glues and other teatments (like scalp protector) that can work if you have such issues. I plan to try a re-install myself in a few weeks (once I have got used to it all via a clinic) and have found your videos a great help. Thanks again for all you do.

He drank too much coffee this day...I love my system ..i can't tell I had it on! Everyone loves my hair
I don't really lose my hair anymore, but after covid (yeah, that lol), I started thinning out. It was noticeable. It grew back and I'm ok now, but the feeling of losing my hair.. terrible. I think hair systems are great, if it makes you happy and confident, go for it. I'm a woman btw, and idk about men, but a good part of my identity as a woman comes from my hair.
That guy is clueless, he's clearly done no research into systems.
I am only 2 minutes into the video, and I am getting the impression he was not totally committed in the first place. If he was, he would have done his research and asked a lot of questions. Thank you for this video and for supporting us who are committed.
Whew........thats a lot!! I am on Jakes side on this one!
People give up with hairsystems so fast, got have no very knowledge about hairsystems... They didn't got knowledge about costs, care and other things.
do you know if wearing a hair system will damage your existing hair follicles along the region where they shave your scalp? Im only a Norwood 2 or so, but i want to go the hair system route first before getting a hair transplant, however i don't want my existing hair follicles on top ruined or damaged if i get the system. Are you aware if it does damage to existing follicles?

Thanks, Jake. This makes me realise that I was a foolish to give up on hair systems after one go back in 2019. Looking back, I spent months and months preping & the end result was AMAZING; I know first-hand it can look incredible, if done right. And I did it mostly right first time. But 6 days later I took it off and saw a bad skin reaction, really bad. And gave up. I should have given it longer and used other methods/products. But I threw it away and shaved. But now I’m still not happy being bald and I work from home 99% of the time. Think I’ll try again. Why not, its my life.

@@max_rove hi, Max. Why did you stop? I now have a decent stock system from Lavivid cut in and have ordered a custom unit which will take a few months. It's a pain in the ass to get it sitting right and the barber that cut the stock system didn't do a very good job, but it still looks pretty good. Cut too much off so it looks like I'm pretty receded, but that is fine! The next will be even better. Funnily enough, I am noticed LESS in public, weird. But when I am, people are more friendly. Shop assistants are nicer to me, especially women.
As a guy with naturally curly hair, can confirm bed head is a thing, silk bonnet or no, so if his transplant works he's gonna have to deal with it too 🤯🤣 Your content's really interesting - perhaps I pay for my luck with the kinky hair with my kinky spine (damn you scoliosis). Also interesting that YT, as soon as I hit my early 40s, started showing me hair loss content! More power to whatever makes us all feel we're a great version of ourselves eh?
Not only did he get ripped off getting that "luxury" system, he also clearly didn't do any reasearch beforehand. He obviously wasn't even ready to go through the getting used to and learning phase..
Lmao lmao lmao 😂 😂 😂 when he talks about the puffy hair style and walking through London ha ha
I think that guy sounds like those that complain about everything. Thinking on my first hair system but a clip on one to start.
Poor fella. It takes some getting used to to. We all went big hair… They actually look more natural as they wear out. Many year’s system wearer. Some people are hard to please. It’s a very steep learning curve. My first cleaning took 4 hours of stress. As an old pro, I can do it in an hour. Instant gratification is not you get. You’re always learning new tricks.
Men and women need the hair system info out. The guy who ripped off his system is kind of bonkers in general.
His the same guy who paid for lousi vitton paint go figure.
I'm here for the pathos the psychology you guys will be studied in the future
