7 Reasons to NOT Get A Hair System 

- Your life will change - your weekly/monthly schedule will change, your finances will change, having natural hair is different to not having much/any hair, your morning routine will be different, showering will be different, you need to be ready for your routines to change - You need to commit - it will be on your head for 10-14 days at a time and you'll have one system for 2-3 months. - You need to be ready to learn - you need to be interested in the process, how to maintain your system, how to clean and reapply it, the best styles, the best practices for longevity. You need to watch videos and speak to people for help (e.g. salon, online etc). This channel is a great start. - It will test you and push you emotionally and psychologically - there are a lot of ups and downs and mixed emotions as you learn more about the process, what's involved, and begin your own journey. There will be a big dip in morale and motivation in the first few weeks/months of your first system and you need to be able to push through that and have realistic expectations. - You need to shave the top of your scalp - this is a scary experience for the first time. - Research your other options - hair transplant, medication/treatments, SMP, shaving your head etc. - Taking the plunge is difficult - you'll be afraid of all the unknowns and what-ifs - but this is the same as any other issue in your life. Can you take decisive action and put yourself through a tough process to get what you want out of life.

You make a lot of sense Jake, however I would disagree with you that if you are just receding then it is not for you, in my opinion it's the best time to go for it because it makes the transition easier, when I started I was just receding and thinning on the crown and was using hair fibres so when I had the hair fitted no-one even noticed and still no-one knows 32 years later

You should do a video about the reaction you got from your friends, family, coworkers, etc.

You’re totally honest and its really helpful to a person like me still in the stage of dilemma.

After wearing a hair system for a few years, the best thing I ever did was taking it off for good and saving my head.

Just wanted to add a bit of info regarding SMP treatment, pros and cons to give further knowledge to anyone struggling with hair loss. I started losing my hair in my early 20s, shaved it quite close cropped. It only got really annoying as I started to get that huge forehead where the shaved line got further and further back. Eventually it irritated me that much I had SMP done in 2017. It was nerve wracking because I was already a high school teacher and kids are ruthless. Well they never commented or sussed it out, even though you are regularly really close view to them, and believe me kids that age early teens are hyper critical. Occasionally I would get a comment like, Sir why don't you grow your hair, or one would call me bald and another would correct them and say, He's not, you can see his hair he's just shaved it off! That always made you feel good. Now cons first: You will always be bald to anyone else, doesn't matter how it looks under bright lights you are just bald, you avoid sun as it fades it, I still wear a cap outside as I don't fancy slapping sun screen on my head 24/7. You need to shave with good electric clippers every day, it will fade after 2-3 years so need to get it topped up around £500 every 3 years or so. Pros: you look really natural, very low maintenance, you can do all extreme sports sweat like hell or whatever no issues, you see that hairline that frames your face without huge forehead (getting up in the morning and seeing that visible line makes a world of difference and never gets old, its first thing I look at in mirror). Its graceful? You are fixing it but it a humble way where you are still unfortunately bald but on your terms, like I choose to shave my head for reasons...rather than nature made you go bald. Any questions please feel free :)

I'm 3 weeks into a "crown patch" and while the density is different you wouldn't be able to tell a difference unless you felt it. It only took two washes to adapt to my hair texture, but you do have to be careful and condition.

I’m trying to decide if this is for me, but I have a lot of fear because I’ve been known as being bald for a long time. Been shaving my head for 10 years. But just now finding this place product, which could maybe give me back what I’ve missed for so long.

You are definitely not alone Jake. I admire, respect and appreciate you more than you know. I hear the emotion and passion in your voice when you talk about this and this is something I really like about you. Aside from your content, it the thing that draws me to you because I’m a sensitive and passionate person myself. I relate to so many things you touch on. P.S. I also have to comment on the backwards hat look. You look so good. ☺️

I Jake you inspire us some much, I am to get a Hair System next week, and I will continue watching your videos, I am kinda scared of getting it, but it’s the only way to know if a hair system is right for you, Thank you, God bless you for all you do!!

I decided to try being bald and never felt so bad about my looks in my entire life, i really can't decide whether to go for this or save up for a year to do a hair transplant

Wow you def inspired me. I have a hair system. I recently got it back in June. My life changed with so much happiness in myself and confidence. I always try to learn more things about hair systems because I know this is going to be a lifestyle. I do have a question, how will i know if my hair system is getting old? The hair feels very dry and crispy, tough and tangled.

Great video, after this I know I’m 100% ready. I’m booked on for my first one this Saturday. Thank you 🙏

Yes, it´s a big step to go ahead with a hair system. I am 77 and decided for a system 21 years ago and I´m glad I did. I suggest learning how to maintain your system by yourself, except, of course, getting a haircut from a qualified person.I buy my system from a Chinese company that supplies their hair pieces to the major hair studios. My wife learned how to cut my new piece when I got a new shipment and saved me money. I don´t use glue, just tape and wash my hair daily.

I really like this video , I am thinking about it, I have my system already and all the rest tape, glue,etc , I fell afraid of shaving my head so thank you for sharing your experience , I am very glad I could watch your video

Just stumbled upon your channel dude. Really enjoying it. I'll likely be getting my first system in the next 2 months. Keep up the good content.

I've decided against getting one I've tried a few new things my hair is growing again everywhere so I'll wait and see.

Hey guys, I'm living in a very warm place. I am considering a hair system right now, have some questions/hesitations in my mind, need your help. 1- We have very high humidity here (over %90 in summer time), would this make me uncomfortable (itching etc) and affect the usability a lot? 2- I do gym and swimming a lot, is a hair system right for me? 3- I like to go to beach and have some sun bathing, would that be hard/impossible with a hair system? Wearing a hat on top of a hair system in this hot weather.... how would it be? 4- It probably would terrify me to see the top of my head bald every time during a maintenance. Will I get used to it? Thanks for the help

Hi Jake, thanks alot for your vedio and your channel also its great and huge to start talking about fears and problems of others i appreciate what you do ❤ I need the hair system not for look younger only , i have a medical problem im elliptic and i have some Forehead injuries i want to cover it and protect my self in the future , i need more knowledge and advices to start , tell now i dont know what will suit me im 45 black male looking for chatting and share more with other guys

Total honest review on this matter, you do not try to discourage or shame others, you only share you expirience and the reality downfalls you found to warn people what they will need to face instead of having fake expectations. Keep going with honest content youtube is lacking that nowadays

I'm 26 and have been shaving my head for the past year. I decided I'm gonna try a hair system and see what it's like! I realized I dont like being bald

Cool video Jake. One concern I have is other people noticing and asking you about your hair. Do you tell them you have a hair system and then do they ask you to take it off and stuff?

Hey, can I ask why you chose to get a hair system instead of undergoing a hair restoration procedure? I am having a dilema on which to choose. Also is there things you cannot do? like use steam rooms, Saunas, hard work outs? I know you did a video before but it didnt mention sauna/steam room use. Thanks

I like your generosity in sharing. I was told I might not be a good candidate for a hair transplant. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You Jake !!! For Your Awesome Videos 👍 Very Informative

I'm 28 right now I'm deciding to go for a hair transplant or this confused as hell going to a dermatologist cuz I heard when you getting a hair transplant they try to push even if you might not have the hair for it this video you sent really helps me out a lot thank you

Love your videos man. You deserve way more subs than you have. I’m thinking about getting a hair system before I go back to school this fall bc Fin and Minox don’t have me at a place where I’m happy with my hair, and this video convinced me that the option may very well be a good one for me. Thanks a lot. Also, do you ever plan on doing a video detailing the specific parts of the maintenance and what exactly indicated that you need to do it? Sorry if you already have and I just missed it, lol

If I workout 6 hours a day, can I use this system?

I am on MIN-FIN Topical and Micro needling. I plan on getting a transplant for my temples to lower and fill hairline. Though someone told me about Frontal Hairpiece for the time being and you do not need to shave the whole head, but not sure right now. Plus I feel a Frontal Hairpiece could get annoying. I am looking at this stuff in case I want to do it. For now just learning the pros and cons.

I wore a hat on top of my hair plus piece for fear that it didn't look perfect .the mess is an issue that is hard to deal with if you're rich you can go to the salon and spend $ for upkeep might be better.

this video helped me a lot! I'm really scared of what this will do to me emotionally but i want, no i know that i need to take this step

You are just helping me so much with your videos, thank you so much

Great video! Have you talked about the pricing of your system and the cost for maintenance?

Does glue make your real hair what you have go bold quicker

EVERY single reason you gave was VALID

Really great info and insight

I want to know if women can immediately detect it when they put their hands in your hair. I was using a powder concealer and my girlfriend got it on her hands, I explained to her what it was and she made fun of me for being a man who spray paints his head. I told her that hurt me and she apologized (I don't believe her). She said she doesn't believe men should even dye their hair. So I want to know how soon this topic will be unavoidable and if I'll be able to ever do things I used to enjoy like swimming again? Should I continue to take finasteride or is it pointless? Does your head get very warm or sweaty when you're working out or on the beach? I started to lose my hair in late teens so I lost a lot of confidence and have worsening mental health issues now. Also I have questions about travel. I'm pretty good at cutting my own hair, but is this manageable if you're in another country or something like that?

True, a hair system would not matter or not be right for someone who thinks they look good bald. However, it is a fact that most women prefer a guy with a full head of hair versus being bald. A cope is to say that it's irrelevant and one's attitude will dictate success, because we all know a guy who has major confidence will win most often if he has the full head of hair, as opposed to the guy full of confidence who happens to be bald.

Make sure you are getting a hair system for the right reasons. It cannot be because of insecurity over being bald. So, I would say, shave your head first. Accept being bald. Lose the insecurity. Then, get a hair system because you prefer how you look with hair vs being bald.

I live in England, London and not sure which company to go for. Any recommendations?

How often do you have to touch up the hairline? Can you still take long hot showers without getting a lift after?

Great talk Jake !

I think you do a good service, but with all due respect, you might be freaking some people out unnecessarily. I think there is a possibility you have "over-thought" some of this stuff. For instance, I do NOT shave my head. I wear the hairpiece anytime I am going someplace where I am going to need to take my hat off, but I wear a hat when I am just running to a store, then back home. When I am around my family only, I just comb my own hair up over the top of my head. Yeah, I know the dreaded comb over! Lol. But it still looks better IMO to have a little color up their than a shiny completely bald looking dome. So I will go with the comb over. I am retired, but church, friends coming over, going out to dinner in a place not conducive to hats, going to someone's house to visit, and several other occasions, I will don the hairpiece. When I get home around just my family, I take it off and do a quick comb over. Mine of course attaches with clips, and I am married so I am not trying to fool anyone at home! Lol. So this method works great for me.

Hi Jake, love the videos! I was wondering if you ever considered alternative treatments like you suggested and why you didn’t choose them? I.e. drugs, transplant etc? Thanks

My partners says if I get one he will leave me as it embarrasses him.

Being bald isn't that effortless as well. If u want to have a clean bald head u have to shave your head every third day at least.

I love your chest hair! Super nice! 😜

Jake thanks so much for the videos. I have a question. I have had a hard time googling/finding a place near me to find a reliable Hair System company/Salon. Any recommendations or resources for finding ones near me? Im not even sure what to search for at this point! Haha.

What styling products would you reccomend? And does styling product wash out easily without ruining the system?

I'm having some trouble finding the right products to take care of the hair... It gets dry quite quickly and the texture also changes after a few weeks. Which products do you use? I also think water plays a big role... I have really hard water in my town

I’m thinking about getting one but I have a question I played a lot of basketball and i sweat is that gonna be a problem

How long you continue to use it?

Hey man, thank you for this video.

I recently saw a video where you were talking about sweating and how the ghost bond would not hold. I am currently using ghost bond XL and after my hockey games (I play goalie) the bond breaks down. This is frustrating for me because I am 29 and love being active and hockey is my passion. I know you suggested tape, but I have an exposed hair line. Do you think tape is still a good solution even with an exposed hair line or do you recommend a different bond?

Is tape or adhesive better?

very interesting , have you concidered a hair transplant to ditch the hair system ?

6:40 Hi Jake. I was watching your video and you mentioned a hair system won’t be good if you hair isn’t receding that much. I’m 19 years old and my hairline is noticeable receding. Would you recommend to people a frontal hair piece? where you just shave the front of your scalp and leave the back. Do you have any videos about a frontal hair piece?

Thank you Jake

baldness has really held me back in life. I'm almost 26 and I've still never had a girlfriend and am still a virgin because of my baldness. If my head didn't look like a penis i'd have no problem with it but unfortunately I can't pull of the bald look. I've worn a hat in public every day since I was 18.

My boy gots a $5000 mic 🎙 just to talk about fake hair

Amazing video

Looking for a simple hair system, that looks good and easy enough to take on and off like a hat. If it doesn't exist, I'll make my own >:(

Why don’t you ever talk about cost Surely that’s a bit part for most people. !!

Or you can look at it as having the hair you never had or maybe haven't had in a long time. I tried the medication and lost my election for about 11 months and they said it would come back slowly. We ut took 3 years to return to normal. My wife wasn't happy about that and opened a law suit and won. If your thinking about it and you've been thinking about it for a while remember one system and I mean the top systems cost around $300. Thats it. Go with a lower thickness then what you think because you dont want to look like a 16 year old on top and a 45 year old on the sides. Then you'll be back to a baseball cap again.

Hair for me is life.... I think that I prefer to get an hair system and change my job and my friends, my gym and Every place where people have seen me as bald than live an entire life without hairs.

Hi there! in first place congrats for the channel, it's really cool trying to help other people with this problem. Ok, here is the thing, I practice surf 3 or 4 times al week. I'm thinking about using an hair system, but I don't know if It will be a problem with the surf. I don't want to get out of the water and then realising that the hair system has been taken off. What do you think? It's possible for me using an hair system and keep surfing? Thanks dude!

USE SHOWER CAP SIMPLE

Everyone knows it’s fake. Unless you spend a few hundred dollars a month, the hairline will always look fake.

would you tell your woman you wear a hair system?

Hey Jake! i work construction 10 hour days and workout so i tend to sweat frequently, how big an issue would this be with a system?

Can u do sports with a glue hair patch?

LOL that mic is a dynamic mic and is meant to be used close up. You're using it like a condenser.

Do you ever considered SMP procedure?

Mono v. Poly

Easy for someone who has hair to say

When you're intimate with a woman having sex can you tell that you have a hair system if they put their hands through your hair?

i heard in one of your videos that you are located in tampa. what place do you recomend me to do a hair system in the area?

You are a good looking man.

To much like hard work

Makes your head sweet , stink, basically have a little hat on 24 hours a day. Just be who you are, if there were no woman , no man with use it. Just to feel better around the opposite sex. Crazy

Thanks bro

BOTTOM LINE EVERYBODY WANTS TO LOOK GOOD DON'T BE SELFISH

According to what you are saying, hair is the problem. Even People with healhy hair should get bald 😂

That chest hair tho😛

Do you get more girls with a hair system ?

Commitment lol it requires shaving your head ffs you have no hair and that's the point init lol

wear wig it is better

So the solution is to wear a system then put a baseball cap on top of it in an attempt to try to look like a regular guy?

It looks like you are wearing a hair system.

Whu are you wearing a hat? Strange when someone who has a hair system/unit has it covered makes me think youndont have the right one for you. A lot of people on You Tube have systems that are way to full and no one will say it. Others have a system on and I just don't believe it till they take it off and then back on and I still can't see it as fake. But yeah the hat was a bad idea

dude thank you for these contents, but i cant find your instagram or email so i can ask you advice on something
