If someone use my hair system as a tool to offend me, Ill just say this is a disability I have and at least I am doing something about it to make myself feel better. Because at the end of the day this is a disability that effects your self esteem and self perception in a negative way. In fact, making fun of a man balding is worst than making fun of a fat women since she can at least lose weight with time, but hair loss is forever and little remedy to ease the journey.

I stopped taking photos of myself like 5 years ago because I can't stand looking at myself. Making fun of balding men is just cruel. Hardly anyone choses to be bald, Hardly anyone looks good without hair. It's not a choice in the majority of cases and as you said - it's a disability which can make a Deep cut in a man's self esteem.

..YOUR HAIR LOOKS GOOD MAN ...DAMN...if I seen you in public the thought of you having a HAIR system wouldn't even enter my mind

As someone that has been using hair systems for over 25 years, there is a con... Well for me at least, its hard to find someone to cut or service your hair.. Yes you can go to any barber or any salon but you can't just have anyone cut your hair.. It takes a special sort of cut to make sure you can't see the edges. Trust me i learned the hard way.. A lot of people on here preach doing it yourself, but honestly, its nice to find someone to take care of that for you. To clean it, to cut it in, in make it look blended with your natural hair.. Thats been my biggest con. I wish there was an updated forum with Hair Replacement Specialists listed

As a woman, i get nail extensions, dye my hair pink, wear makeup, shave much of my body hair, pluck my eyebrows, etc. When it comes to these physical alterations, it’s best to approach it less from the perspective of whether or not people will be able to tell you’ve altered your appearance, and more from the perspective of just trying to achieve an aesthetic that you personally like. I’m okay with going out with and without makeup, it doesn’t matter that people know it isn’t real. It should be the same way with hair systems. I just feel like men should be able to be as nonchalant about cosmetic products as anyone else.

I was very self conscious of my unit in the beginning. I would even hesitate to change the looks and length due to what ppl would think. 🤦🏾‍♂️ I had to realize that I’m a hair stylist and changing my look is within my artistry. I started doing my thing and get so many compliments! I wish I had started wearing units sooner. At one point I went from a 2” short cut unit to 22” long dreadlocks and people couldn’t figure out what was different. Atp I realized ppl aren’t paying as much attention as we think. I just told them I added extensions to my hair and they bought it without question.

Agree. The one size fits all "shave head and grow beard" approach actually doesn't look good for everyone (would include myself).

I got a hair system and I love it. It makes me feel and look like I am 15 again. I had a really hard time when I was younger when I lost my hair. It definitely affected me in a bad way. I started to recede and lose hair at around 20 and I wore hats everywhere until now. I'm 35 now, but look like 20. I am like ralph maccio lol I age really slow. Anyways, it's amazing how much better having hair makes me look and when I went outside without a hat on it was so refreshing and liberating. It was your video and some others on KZread that helped me come to my decision. I don't feel bad about it and I feel fine if anyone asks me. I feel like guys shouldn't feel bad about this at all. It is no different than getting braces, contacts, etc.. It takes a little bit to get use to wearing it, but it is doable and having hair is worth it. I like how I can feel thick hair on top now instead of thin wispy hair and playing around with the styles is fun. I kept my system longer because I had longer hair on the sides so it blends perfectly. I honestly thought I would never have hair again. It is really cool to see myself with a full head of hair again. Hair is really an important part of who we are as humans it is how God made us.

@@samnectar When I sweat it doesn't really matter too much with the hair system I have as it is a French Lace. The lace base is more breathable so it doesn't irritate or make my scalp itch as much. I haven't gone swimming yet with it, but I can tug on my hair with quite a bit of force and it isn't coming off. There are videos showing people swimming with hair systems and they won't come off. Ultra Hold tape by Walker Tape is very strong and also waterproof. You can also use glue, but I prefer tape as it is easier to put on and clean when taking it off. If you have a medium light or medium density hair and someone runs there hand through the system they will feel a lot of thick hair. If they try to feel your scalp then they will feel the base of the system. They may also feel the edge of the hairline depending on how it is on your head. I don't believe these are big problems though because who is going to put there hand through your hair other than a girlfriend? The easiest solution is just be up front and honest with them and tell them you have a hair system. If they love you they will look past the hair system and support you. Problem solved! 😉

I think the biggest thing to me if I ever lose my hair is the whole stigma behind it. We see it in movies where there might be a comedic scene of a man losing his 'toupee' in the wind or in a fight scene. Also part of the stigma is if women judge the man wearing a hair system. We need to get over the stigma because at the end of the day to me it's just enchancing your already existing beauty just like when most women use make-up. If someone is going to judge you for it, then they are not worth your time and are insecure themselves.

And sometimes the side effects or the cost isn't worth it for somebody from for where they're at in there stage of balding.

I’m single, I’m a Rocker, I love fashion, photography, and I do all kinds of arts and crafts and fantasy Halloween and Día de Muertos makeup, and I’d take wearing a wig as a mere accessory and nothing else. I’m also thrilled about owning different styles and colors. I want mine to be shoulder-length and parted to the side or through the middle a la John Lennon/Kurt Cobain.

Hi need hair patch in front 3inc front..curly....hair..i wont to perchanc

I am 51 have hair but I want easy pretty hair that I don’t have to color every 3 weeks or get up and fix. I ordered two wigs waiting for them to come in the mail. I am very excited but definitely self conscious cause white female 51 but realizing that men are getting into this as well is really a game changer and makes me feel more confident. Your hair looks great by the way and it definitely enhances you. Thanks for sharing i do think more men would love this and it would make some feel better. No one pays close enough attention to notice and then if they do only a insecure person would be judgmental about it

I'm not exactly balding yet but I'll keep this in mind in the future if I do start balding, this is a good video and what you have said here will definitely make me consider getting a hair system if I need it and want it. As for what you said about what other people would think, yeah people are more focused on their appearance to really notice any irregularities in other people unless those irregularities are highly noticable or just look unnatural (which doesn't seem to be the case with you because if I just saw your face and never reached this video I wouldn't even know) and most people wouldn't even find out unless you told them, even then like you said other forms of making your looks shine are considered socially acceptle despite people knowing they aren't natural, like I live in an area where people are cognitive of women wearing wigs and extensions, and we don't really care about it, I believe videos like these help reduce the stigma around men enhancing their looks.

Well said, and I 100% agree. I've also been wearing a hair system for the past 2 years, and I love it. Will never go back. This is coming from a guy who lost his hair at 22. After shaving my head off for 7 years, as well as 3 failed hair transplants..I've realized hair systems are the best solution.

hello michael. So, i'm looking into getting a hair system soon, except I'm pretty broke. I've kind of looked into the pricing.. and I definitely don't think i'm going to go cheap but am looking for a mid-price range. How much do you think it will cost to get a decent looking hair piece? and how often do you have to get it fixed/reset?

I’d love recommendations. I saw a few young ones the age of my oldest son who had receding hair at 18-22 years old. I want to learn to do this as a business and focus on helping young people get this option. I’d find a subsidized way to do it.

Thank you! I just did a lot of research first, ordered the unit I felt would be best for me in the color that seemed to make the most sense, applied it myself, then had a stylist cut it in. It was love since then! And no shedding almost at all. And I keep them for about 3 months at a time.

Been wearing a system for nearly 30 years now... took awhile to find the right system, but zero regrets, and really no "cons" from my perspective. My system stays on for about 3 weeks, and I jump in the shower every morning, or after the gym or yard work... and just shampoo it like it was growing right out of my head. No issues, ever. It can be hard to find a stylist to do the cut-in, but a tip would be to connect with your local theater, and inquire if they have about stylists who may have their own salon, or work at a salon, but also share their talents at the theater. Those people have experience with wigs, and are also kind-hearted and empathetic. I remember early on, when I confided in a friend about wearing a system, I used the analogy that if you were in a car accident, and knocked out one of your front teeth... you would replace that tooth with a faux tooth. Now, you don't need that tooth to eat, but you wouldn't like how you looked with a missing tooth. You do what you need to do to feel wonderful about yourself.

The way I see it, wearing a hair system is no different to wearing a hat or a beanie. It's also Ironic that those who proclaim how they'd just shave their head are actually the insecure ones for having to constantly declare how much it doesn't bother them. Almost like they're trying to convince themselves. Also, the assumption that men get these things solely for the purpose of meeting women is pretty shallow. It's about self-esteem, confidence, and seeing yourself as you want to in the mirror. I think if transplants were more affordable then more people would get them and the class stigma of hair and even hair systems would be greatly reduced, but being backed into a corner when you are already feeling trapped will lead to overaggressive defensiveness.

Just my 2 cents from a hair wearing brother. Try lowering your density, ultra thin skin and you'll get a more realistic look. Great job I applaud you

Good video! I wore a hair system for 2 years when I first stared to realized I was balding. He looks amazing, but I will say this, if your hair is dark, it probably won't look as natural on you. The first day you put the system on, it usual looks ok, but as the days go by, the glue starts to accumulate dirty, making the hair line looks darker and faker (that happens quicker than you imagine, basically by the second or third day). The hair starts to dry out, and look unhealthy and different in texture that the rest of your hair. When the sides and back of your hair star to grow a bit, it won't longer blend with the system, because it doesn't fit the style it was given when first installed. It really doesn't look great on daylight. You don't really have that much control on how it looks from other angles. From the sides you can always tell is a system, because even with the lace front, nobody has a perfect line (or curve) as a hairline, and they are very difficult and time consuming to maintain looking half decent. You spend a crazy amount of money on products. You need to replace the system every 4-6 months, which is not cheap. Everyone is always looking at your forehead (because your hairline looks suspicious, at best), and you're always stressing over how your hair is looking. They are uncomfortable to wear and kind of hot, you fear people touching your head, and overall it never ends up looking natural for long. I was planning to leave a more neutral but insightful comment, but as I'm recapitulating, I just can't, I can even say it was a traumatic experience, honestly I think it played a big part in me developing social anxiety. Save your time, your money and keep your self from having this negative experience. Embrace baldness or go other rout. When I freed my self from the hair system, I realized I was on time to save my hair, started medication, minoxidil, and had a hair transplant (which was cheaper than changing system every 4 months + maintenance + products). If you're on time to save your hair, is better to invest your money on keeping it on your hair for as long as posible, that investing it on wigs that eventually you have to throw away. Or embrace baldness, I rather be bald and normal and blend in with the general population, that having my hairline stared at and scrutinized every time I'm in front of another person trying to have a conversation. It sound like I'm exaggerating, but it's mentally taxing over time.

how many times a month or year does one have to replace? I also play basketball and I'm active.n Thank you so much for getting back to me.

So glad that your hair system is working out so well for you! Really like your positive attitude and energy. With that said, as somebody who's worn a system for nine years now, I agree and disagree with your points. I've been detected and "called out" five times, all when I wasn't making effort with my hairline, so in my experience, your hairline does play a significant role in how realistic a system looks. That and choosing an appropriate density. ALSO. No matter how well maintained a system is, it WILL be detectable in certain lighting and at certain angles, there's no way around it. But the biggest takeaway here IMO is "people who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind." Whether people can tell it's a hair piece or not, as long as you're happy with your look and feel confident about your choice, that's what matters at the end of the day. But to be completely transparent to anyone considering doing this, yes, people are gonna know, even if they don't say anything, and I do wish someone would've given me a heads up about that because I was totally caught off guard when I realized some people were noticing. But ultimately, if people judge, that's their problem and not ours. Wicked video, Michael!

If it’s a good system, if the thickness is appropriate for your age, if it’s blended properly with your existing hair, if the hairline is maintained properly then it is not true that most people know. Actually if you do these things most people don’t know. And most people aren’t looking at you and certainly aren’t up in your face an inch away with a magnifying glass looking at your hairline. I have noticed that bald guys will look at me, but none have ever said anything and they would be the first ones to say something and call you out. They look because they’re jealous of good hair-ironically that most of the them don’t know it’s a system,

​@@HRCISASKNK It depends on the environment in my experience. For instance, in places with bright lighting or in the sun, the light shines through the front of the system at the hair line and you see through it. I use to think "well who is gonna notice that unless they're staring at my head" but it just kinda sticks out to people. I even found out that people who I never told and who never seemed to have noticed really did know all along but didn't want to be rude. Can't speak for your experience though, only my own. In most places, I do agree that it is hard to detect as long as the density and blending is properly handled.

The best way is use a company like Top Lace, order couple pieces; cheaper and good quality. The front you should have less density and widow’s peak. Use tape around back perimeter and middle; white glue that clears up all over the shaved area. Take off once a week; shave, reapply. Daily you can use tooth picks to add white glue to frontal area. During workouts; use a headband and during sleeping.

I've been using systems for about 26 years; they've come MILES in the meantime, and I can tell you there's no cons I can see to wearing a system... I have oily skin and sweat a lot, so I use an acrylic glue, and it's amazing. I don't know if that's just for ME, but I love it. Great vid!

That looks amazing. I wear wigs but my real hair is actually long. I love this though if I ever lost my hair I want one of these.

Still having "some" hair top side but quit thinned out (camouflaging with root concealer) , the mental brick wall for me is taking the leap of shaving off what is there to wear a hair system.

I think this is valuable advice for me to hear because I am trying different methods of coping with my hair loss. I tried maintaining a shaved head but didn't like that. Now I use Toppik, and I also use drugs to prevent my hair loss from getting worse. I'm paranoid because I either think I use too much Toppik, or not enough. People are probably looking at me and wondering why my hair used to be long, and then shaven, and then short but with Toppik. It looks good in dim lighting, but in bright lighting, it's easier to tell that I have thinning hair. I obsess over it every second of every day. Maybe other people don't think about my hair loss as much as I do, but it's a fact that your hair is one of the main features that define you. When people talk about you behind your back, they are definitely talking about your hair loss at least once in a while.

The problem with drugs is that they probably aren't a permanent solution. I know from experience that finasteride buys some time, but it doesn't continue working forever.

One is the dermatologist who agreed to prescribe dutasteride and oral minoxidil. The other is a hair transplant surgeon. The surgeon basically talked me out of it. He could have made a sales pitch like most surgeons do, but he gave his honest opinion. I will definitely consider a transplant or hair system if the drugs stop working, but it turns out that I'm a good responder to them. I don't have to use as much Toppik as I used to, and it's getting to the point where I don't need any Toppik on some days. I used to feel embarrassed about my diffuse thinning, but now I don't. As long as my hair is clean and dry, it looks thick, even under bright lighting.

And let’s face it as we get older every cell in our bodies like our skin age as well and this includes our hair which would be more likeley to look less vibrant in colour and less thicker as we get older.

I get to clean it, shave my head, massage and itch my scalp, and moisturize it too. Feels amazing AND I get my system super clean. If I can, I’ll even go a day or so without it so my skin gets some extra exposure. But here’s the thing… you’re not really removing it before it needs to come off, you’re removing it because it has loosened in the front, back, or both and it’s time to come off anyway. It’s not a big deal at all, it’s just that time to make it all brand new again.

Morning Michael, thanks for the video found it to be really insightful. Just a question about the sweating part of the video. In my line of work I’m pretty much sweating it out all day, will this effect the bond of hair to my skin?

Great question! And the answer is yes. What I’ve found is that I sweat, the bond loosens, then when I’ve stopped sweating and cool down then the bond resets. With sweating consistently you’ll probably see that the adhesive has seeped out into the hair before it dries and sets, which may be a bit uncomfortable for you. But tape with a lace system would give you a solid chance at best results!

I love my hair unit BUT I have experienced "mold" before. That's when I went more than 2 days without removing it and I had dirty bandaid smell and red bumps. Now I apply/remove daily with no issues. How in the world someone can go 2 weeks with one on baffles me.

Wow. Sounds like you’re having a reaction with the adhesive. I couldn’t imagine doing it every day, actually! Fortunately I’ve never had a reaction like that, but if it works for you that’s all that matters.

Obsessed with your current hair system. It looks ah-mazing!

What type of system is this? You prefer Lace? And what is the cost for something like this? And can you keep the same hair piece for a long time while keep applying the adhesive?

Thanks for the information. You the Man .. Keep up the great work.. Success

I would never have guessed! Looks good!👍

35 year hair wearer. wore every type of system started with every type of attachment. so for 30 years i have been using tape everyday.. I remove it everyday and I get 1.2 years out of my pieces. I use poly and french lace I switch off year to year.I do not use exposed hairlines at all they are not undetectable.(maybe on the very thin skin but they tear easy) Im very critical when it comes to my hair and it has to be cut perfect and to this day my pieces are undetectable. Even when i went to a place for a position to sell pieces the guy thought i had started thinning.I just had an older pies=ce on and was waiting for anew one to come in.So just make sure you get a good cut on the pieces. And for me I would take it off everyday to wash my scalp. Thats just me.. The content here is very good I watch all the videos. Keep up the good work very informative...

Take it off everyday? Taking it off is what reduces the life of the hair patch. How much does your cost and where do you get it from?

@@garrysingh3337 i buy from superhairpieces and variouse china sites. I get at least a year out of one piece . If you get a super thin-skinned piece consider it a throwaway. You will getv2 months top they tear very easy. I dont get those . To me thats just a waste of money. My opinion. My only expense is tape and a haircut . On and off in 5 min healthy scalp is my objective.in went used aln the big hairclubs back in the day andnit was a money grab . Cost a fortune . Every Three weeks back!then 150.00 for reattachment and you had lost more of your existing hair on sides and baxk from the methods . So tape is the way. On and off every day since then . I have no issues . Except the thickness of poly base have to get a little thicker so it dont tear. Lace baces are fine . They last about 9 months if careful.

It does not reduce the life it saves the it from number one thing that destroys it is slepping in it.....now these pieces can say undetectable hairline. But its thebdensity of the hair that is the detection. In my trials since i was 18. 18- 30 years old 120 percent never 130 percent. As you get older 100 to 100 percent density. and a good hairstylist that knows hair pieces not a reg barber. Once its cut and cut wrong thats it. Its not growing baxk . Exposed hairlines . No matter what tey tell you my opiinion. Not ever gonna happen it is still not like your birth hairline. So i never fullu expose even with. A gradiant hairline on a poly piece to me still looks fake.point is if you are self conscious of no hair. You will be more self conscious of that hairline. Ive been there done that .. its all in the syle and haircut.thats the undetectable part how you style your hair. All the seee buzz cuts and stylish haircuts dont work . Every thing looks good on thebinternet but in real life its a no no.. My opinion. Been wearing hair since 18 . Im 55 and yest the pieces are better but its all in the style and cut.👍

forgive the typos i was typing with no glasses on🤣basically in a nut shell less density is better and a professional hair piece stylist is a must... all info on here is spot on. any doubts of should I or shouldn't I get a piece it depends how you really feel about your appearance and confidence. In a short time it sounds funny but the system becomes apart of you... when you hit that point you will know what im talking about . After about two weeks you wont even feel it on your head. the sensitivity will be gone..

I’m 17 and balding aggressively, I gave minoxidil a go but had bad skin side effects. I think I’m going to give this a shot

Great video! I recently decided to make the jump and I started wearing. Hair unit. My problem is I haven't found any real good professionals that know really what their doing when it comes to applying and blending in the unit. Do you mind sharing where you go to get your units applied or do you apply and cut your own hair? Thanks again

@michaeljosephghd

Sorry for the delay! And I go to a barber. They’re more experienced in blending and fading. I apply the unit, he does the fade and the cut. That’s pretty much it!

I wouldn’t mind going full bald but I don’t like the shape of my head at all. Definitely want to try this out.

I've talked to some women in my age group (47) and more women say I should do it than not. I think it depends on your body type and image too. A tall, broad shouldered super masculine man might pull off a shaved head better than a hair system, because of social expectations. I've always been more more beta with a fairly petite frame so baldness doesn't suit me. Anyways I've written too much, but just wanted to share my surprise that many women are more open minded to it than we sometimes think...and I suspect much more open minded toward it than other men

Thanks for the vid. Here is my intake from my own experience. For me I stopped for three primarily reasons: 1. Scalp skin was not appropriate and eventually I had some sort of an Infections spots. 2. Traveling and this makes its Mantinance difficult ( self Mantinance is not alawys ideal ) 3 being hesitant and self conscious about what if it's not probably fitted or starting to break. However, I can not dismiss how good it felt and how much of a positive impact it can have. My best advice is that people give it a go and see if it's for them.

Hi i like what you have done it looks natural and perfect. I want to get it done too, how much might it cost? Thank you.

Thank you so much I really appreciated this video 👍
