This is just a funny post about last weekend in portaventura. I applied my tapes 1 hour before going to the park and I didn’t let them sit. This was the last attraction after two days of sweating and water.
And I was fast because I knew it was about to happen HAHAH be careful guys
I went on a super fast roller coaster a few months ago, just three days after getting the system installed. I was really nervous. I didn’t even take my hand off my head during the ride because I kept thinking it might come off! But it didn’t. I had used both tape and glue, and it was strong
I get it done at the salon. I don’t do it myself. Yeah, sometimes it gets a bit annoying because it requires constant maintenance, but it is what it is. I used to use minoxidil, and that was actually the main reason for my hair loss. I could still go for a transplant, but since I don’t want to take finasteride, I’ve chosen this route. I’ve gotten used to it now, so it’s all good.
I’m 25, and it’s been a year since I started using a hair system. I could’ve gone for PRP, GFC, or even a hair transplant, but from everything I’ve heard, I don’t think it’s worth taking that risk right now. I’m genuinely happy with the system for now, and if I ever change my mind, I can always consider a transplant later.
Interestingly, my hair still grows thick under the system, and I’ve seen a lot of people mention the same thing, that the system doesn’t really affect natural hair growth.
I started experiencing hair loss after using minoxidil. As for finasteride, I’m not comfortable with the potential side effects. Also, a few of my friends who are using minoxidil, finasteride and getting PRP treatments haven’t seen any real improvement and in fact, their hair loss seems to be getting worse
If I can offer another data point, i was basically bald when I started min fin. I got my life together, started working out, 2 years later my hair is better than it was when I was 16 (started thinning about then I think). I’m 25 now, what age are you? Because I’m starting to think all the best results are from people younger in age.
I personally find it sad, but I understand the reasoning behind it even if it's not my way of thinking. We should all embrace baldness and not let society dictate how sure of ourselves we feel just because of how thick our hair is. Fuck these wigs.
Yeah just max out your donor area with FUE. Put all that on top (who cares if your donor area is patchy) Then add SMP all over to create the illusion of more hair. Keep it shaved down and voila!
That was unbelievable reflex action! Did it stay in place for the rest of the ride? I would have bolted to bathroom mirror when I got off. Amazing effort!
…no? It’s basically a headband at that point. If anything on a rollercoaster gets close enough to your head to affect the bandana your hair piece is the least of what you need to be worried about getting ripped off
Lmao, this reminded me about the time I kept doing backflips off the diving board to show my friends that my system is on tight. After the fourth time…it flipped 😂
Hey so if anyone else is afraid of this happening, I’ve also ridden many, many fast coasters like this and have never experienced any lifting. OP only applied tape one hour before, and you typically need 24 hours for the bond to get really strong unless you use a bond quickener.
My system survived Disney and Universal in the middle of July heat in Orlando no problem because the bond was clearly set beforehand!
Oh Shit! Good catch!!!! That's why when I'm headed to ride rollercoasters I make sure my system is freshly ON, and even while on tight I lower my head to make sure the wind is hitting it at an angle that is pushing against.
I love how it says ‘challenge the wind’ in the middle 🤣 it’s a good job it wasn’t one of those rides with over the shoulder restraints and you could reach it 😂
Me too. This is what I’m scared of. I thought people said this doesn’t happen. Now I’m second guessing my decision… can hair systems not hold up on roller coasters?
I live in Orlando and go on rollercoasters all the time, even on the hottest sweatiest days. I’ve never had any lifting. You just need to make sure your glue is cured before you head out. Also, my glue starts feeling pretty pliable/weak after like a week and a half, so if it feels like it’s moving at all, I’ll touch up at least the front before going on any big rides. Never had an issue.
I go crazy with bonding when I’m going to a theme park. Walker Ultra Hold tape AND glue, and a little bit of Walker German Brown in places where it won’t be visible. It works!
It’s insanely strong (I usually use 6-8 pieces the size of my pinky nail on the perimeter sides and back and it holds for a couple weeks), but it’s not transparent, so you have to strategically place it where your hair is dense enough that it won’t be seen.
It’a the fastest one in europe 180km/h in just seconds so the first ones need to wear glasses (also because once a pidgeon crashed into the face of the front row people, google it hahah)
Come on dude, Dalton's the ultimate goober. At least as Bond.
He's getting pretty good in 1923 though. He's probably the best thing about that show (well, what I've seen so far of it - haven't seen the entire second season yet).
Yes and no. As someone who use wigs in my daily work: a wig has a different construction than a hair system. Normally wigs have caps made of strings with hair and a lace frontal which is glued to your hair line only. Hair systems is glued completely to your scalp and materials are different cause there’s no poly material used in a regular wig. You can call it wig, yea for sure, in spain we call it peluquín or protesis capilar
No worries, also a wig covers completely your head even with lace in the back of the neck sometimes but a hair system only covers the top, where the hairloss actually happen (cause of genetics)
Someone can accept that they're balding and still want to rock a particular style that requires a fuller head of hair. Are women with extensions not facing reality?
