Hair Replacement or Hair System Unit Breakdown. Realism vs Longevity And Use 

Wait, I stand corrected. "Thickness of three condoms" is a far far far better way to describe how durable a .03 poly hairline would be. Use this phrase as often as you possibly can. It is utter genius.

Thanks lol !

Glad it could help. Im hoping it helps guys make the right choice for their needs!!

HairExperience Absolutely 👍 This is the first time I’ve ever seen an explanation as to the categorical differences between each of the systems, especially aesthetically as you pinpointed where each system places overall when it comes to longevity and how realistic it actually looks. Because of this, I now know which system, if and when I do decide to at least try this option, will work for me which will come down to poly or lace. I just think a system that doesn’t provide the most realistic hairline possible basically defeats the purpose of a system. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with this opinion or they are unfortunately, simply ignorant as to the high quality systems out there that are far more realistic looking than the system they are presently wearing. This results in giving other men the false impression that ALL systems look obvious and unrealistic (example: Political analyst, college professor, and RU-vid Bret Weinstein. I so badly want to reach out to him in private and provide him with some sources to help him find a much more realistic system than the one he’s sporting now.) But I digress. Thanks again Curtis! You are one of if not THE only social media influencer (although I’m not to found of that label) who is actually educating men on this niche subject and helping many of them with hope and solutions, men who likely thought that they had no real solutions which would force them to have to shave their heads which, let’s be honest, often isn’t the best look for most men. Although your intentions are simply to help men, you’re well way to cornering this niche market. Keep it up 👍

Don, im here to help!!! If its the right time for you, lets do it. But if its not and your not totally ready just wait until you are. Either way, im here!

Surgery is more expensive, and results very often are not so good

Thanks !

Holy Crap!!! Thats great to hear. I dont even get that out of mine (im rough on them though) Thanks for posting!!!

The secret is to soak the unit over night in a solution of water and a color treated shampoo. The tape and adhesive peel right off.

Juan Cantu wouldn’t that dry your unit out a ton?

@@MayurUPatel I haven't had that problem. I was using ProTouch CleanSkin Base Cleaner, but it was getting really expensive, so I tried out my own solution and it worked. I also use a really good leave in conditioner. That's the key for the unit not to dry out.

Do u mind sharing the name of this company thats what i need thanks

Glad I could help!!

Hey, wish I could. But I dont have enough knowledge to be able to make it helpful for someone. Sorry!

I have totally thought about that!! Only issue is I normally ride my units until the wheels fall off!! So ive always been concerned doing it and it looking like crap. What I think im gonna do on this one is do it earlier and do a video on it!! Love your videos by the way!!!!

HairExperience Thanks! And that would be awesome. Would love to see that. I would do it myself but I feel weird asking the stylist I go that cuts in my unit to do it lol, like I would be wasting her time or something lol.

Thanks, glad it helped!!

Thank you!!

I hope to pass on as much as I can to help!

I have no idea, you may want to ask them. That was a long time ago. It is NOT equal to my product. I designed and we make our own products to my specs

Thank you sir!!

I answered this question on the other video!

Good question. About 20-30% more if treated right !

Ours come stock with a body wave. I just blow dry mine straight every day. Just something I do !

HairExperience so I did a little bit of research. My curl is about a 2C to 3A. Other forms of measurement seem to indicate between medium and tight waves. Is that something you can do?

You could also perm the system

JayGFX that doesn’t sound like a good idea lol 😂

Hey, i dont understand, can you word that different ?

No, its not a static thing, just an average against the others.

Has anything about your routine changed? Are you using a new leave in, styling product or oil ?

@@HairExperience no I'm still using the same products from C-Formula. Its really so wierd because after two days of having the system on the tape starts to lift and itches like crazy . Before this started happening I would leave the system on for at least a week and half before I took it off and had no problems. Only thing I think I have changed is I started taking a probiotic from Gnc also added vitamins that I was deficient in. Other than that the routine is the same.

@@Cunnm1 Def sounds like you have developed an allergy to something. I would change your products one by one and find the culprit. Hope the best for you!!

Do you think it would be far fetched to think that perhaps maybe he has grown resistant to the bonds? If so, that would be a dead end for many of us

Yes sir, 100% correct

Steven, no it doesnt. Its just rough on the adhesives. The only effect that will have on the unit is that it needs to be removed and cleaned more often. Which in effect will wear on the unit more from the more frequent cleaning process

HairExperience would am salon do an install of one of your systems or just their own. I don’t trust myself to do the initial install

@@selene7416 I can totally understand. Im big on preaching about having a salon do the first or first few installs!!

Those are actually not relative to an actual time, just a time frame.

Mine mono can mantain up to six months

Thank you sir!! Means a lot!!

Is it hard to maintain

@@cyberrunner6529 I use a different type of hair replacement system and the one I've chosen isn't so much difficult to maintain moreover it's requires a significant dedication and investment of my time. But that's my choice - I want a realistically natural appearance and to achieve that with what is essentially a very artificial methodology and product is going to require significant maintenance and financial investment. Sometimes, I do get over it and think that's it, I'm getting rid of my hair but it looks so good, makes me feel so happy I inevitably persevere with the demands of maintaining a synthetic, fully hand-tied wig. Cancer took my hair, I missed it and for over a decade I researched my available choices and settled on a system that works well for me. I guess it comes down to, how important is it to an individual to attempt a good quality hair replacement system whichever type that may be and deciding whether it's worth the investment of time required to educate oneself in its maintenance. If it's sufficiently important then of course, go for it - if not, accept baldness and learn to love lack of hair. There is no better or worse, only what makes one feel happy 😎 but in any event I can assure you hand on heart, this gentleman's product is exceptional value for money and his knowledge base, integrity and customer service is second to none. You are in very professional and honest care dealing with Curtis and if I every switch to a glue-on system his is certainly the one I'll invest my time and money.

@@vascoemyer what if I don.t expose hair line and use tape then will it be easy

@@cyberrunner6529 Thank you for the question, I don't wear a replacement unit like Curtis but a hand-tied, full cap synthetic fibre wig. But I do understand how Curtis' method works as there are many cross over similarities as far fixing a unit - and a wig - in place. If I understand your question, you wear what is essentially a 'topper' unit that is either glued or taped into place? Assuming I'm on the right track, you're considering a fringe or similar so your hairline won't be exposed but what I don't understand is what will be easy? If you use glue, you need to prime your scalp prior to using glue so the surface is free of debris and produces a bubble-free and natural appearing hairline. If you use tape then you're not going to get as secure a fit than if you used glue - however - I can't really provide an accurate response because I don't quite understand exactly what you mean when you write: "... then will it be easy". I know with Curtis' system there is the option to go tape only and not use glue; any substance - tape, glue whatever - is going to have an effect on the base material any unit's fibres are sewn into. There'll be a build up of residue and this will need to be cleaned. I think with tape and I've used tape in the past when I was still learning about wearing hair, there was a slight build up of residue from where I'd positioned the tape on my head especially during humid weather conditions - that is, at my nape to stop the cap from riding up and along where my hairline was positioned. But the only reason I used tape with a wig was because I'd purchased a unit that was too small for my head. So I think that exemplifies for you there are shared experiences by system and full-cap wearers therefore I watch Curtis and continue to learn a lot of stuff and a lot of Curtis' knowledge and experience reinforces aspects of wearing hair I've already learned during a decade-plus of wearing synthetic hair. Sorry if that doesn't really answer your question; I'm happy to elaborate but you'll need to be more specific and keep in mind my frame of reference is different from a hair replacement system wearer because I wear a conventional, full-cap hand tied wig.

@@MichaelDeMersLA Thanks for the info! I might try one once it gets more porous.

Hey Thank you for your business!! Means a lot to us!! We say that Incase of shipping issues, waiting on a hair sample (or template ) or something being out of stock. Typically they ship in a few days. Thanks again !

In order to wear this with confidence never be ashamed of telling someone that you are wearing hair system

Thats a great video!!!!

Sir, I teach everything I can to help. Value my opinion or not. Doesn’t matter to me. This is a public venue. All I can do is pass information I’ve learned. I’m not a boxer and have never tried what you did. And I would have told you that. And for me saying that boxing you will be fine. There is no doubt in my mind I DID NOT say that. What I would have said is “with the right bond/tape for your body chem, it should be fine” But you will need to test this first. I’m never one to say “Oh yeah, F it, Do it”. Also my RU-vid channel is a totally free platform for people to learn. You can purchase your products from anywhere. Not just me and I clearly say that regularly. I’m always the advocate to say it’s not right for someone.

And to be very clear. I never ever said “my system is the way to go” in this video.

OK, thank you for your reply. It was quite a traumatic event for me which is why it provokes quite a lot of upset. And it was following one of your videos that I sparred with the hair system on. I've decided to go for a transplant and the use of Propecia since. Perhaps you understand why or perhaps not.
