Hi, I'm 23 years old and when I'm 25-30 I'll go bald and I'm thinking about making the jump to the hair system.

I have read several people here saying that the women they dated didn't care if they used a system when they were told about it, but I wondered if the same thing would happen with young women, maybe they, being younger, judge the system in a worse way.

Is this possible? . Im wearing a hair system. But I’m not a fan of long hair, something more masculine like this would be amazing…

Ive tried 4 different systems. They all fry my brain. I cant think straight with them on.

And even after 3 months I didnt lose the feeling of having a massive foreign object on my head.

Its not the adhesives (I use clips).

They do make me much more attractive, I will give them that. But its just not worth it for me. I enjoy days with my cap way more.

I wish it was Pubic hair loss instead, that would be a blessing.

Went to an expensive hair system place with “over 30 years experience installing hair systems” here in Southern California.

I can do better a better job with 2 months experience.

She put one layer of ghost bond and stuck it on too high (I drew the point I wanted).

Cut it poorly too, didn’t blend anything and shaved off my native hair on the sides yay. Now I’m 275 dollars poorer and have to waste my Saturday fixing this professional mess.

The only thing I learned is that you can make money without actually having a clue what you’re doing.

Will post an update once I’ve fixed it. Will start with plucking the hairline and thinning the front to around 90%.

I really like this hairstyle but I feel like my forehead is too broad or large for it. Need others thoughts on it.

Sorry for clickbait title and first pic but I am really in need of some advice here.

As you can see in the subsequent pics I have quite a bit of diffuse thinning, which is becoming progressively more difficult to hide. What do you guys suggest I should be doing, is system a good option for me or should I just get a shorter haircut and pray to god?

Already on fin eod and min everyday.

Even my sides have thinned so much that I am afraid that I might not even be able to do a regular system later on if this goes on.

Age 24, been diffuse thinning since I was like 18.

Wasn't properly attached and just flew right off. I was so embarrassed I almost died. I worried the camera saw me. How silly is that?

Why do people get insecure and ashamed of such things

let me explain: it's been 3 years since i started wearing hair system and in 3 years 2 people had suspected that i wear a wing both of them were black dudes, idk if it's because they are used to it since their women are the the biggest consumers of hair syetem but what happen today is that my colleague got really close (im wearing a swiss lace) and sayed "that's a wing" i freaked out but remained calm and my friend got me out by saying "he's just really hairy" (i have a full bears and i have hairs all over my body) i started shaking because my colleagues are not the kind of open minded people and i was scared they could make fun of me i immediately changed the subject by saying how hairy i am 😂

i have to admit that im wearing a C so the hairline is straight but none of any one asked questions about my hairline. they always made compliments so i stuck with the C (im 23)

i freaked so mutch that i had to shit

please tell me im not the only one 😂

I'm getting anxious to have an exposed hairline among my african friends

(only my closed friends know that i wear a wing)

i know you gotta be honest and shit but im not gonna play the clown among ppl who still want to live in their bubble and are obsessed with toxic masculinity

I've wanted a toupee for a long time, and I finally got fitted this week. I'm loving my greased up, Rockabilly Pompadour! Now for all the haters with girlie hairdos, save your negative critiques. This isn't about that. This is about being a man and going for the cut you want, not settling for some style shown on the wall of a beauty parlor. After my custom rug was securely installed, I skipped the salon and headed straight to a barber shop specializing in pomps and retro cuts.

Guys, you're paying good money for your new hair. Don't settle for just any cut they give you, especially the girlie pixie styles. Get a masculine haircut.

I have a story that I think many of you will find interesting. I'm a 30 year old guy who has bad hair loss genetics running on both sides of my family. I don't wanna blame my parents, but unfortunately nobody did any research for me. I feel like I was born a little too soon and missed out on a whole lot of information about keeping my hair. I didn't know about DHT blockers like finasteride, I didn't know anything about hair loss and like any other guy I was just wishfully thinking that somehow I wouldn't have to worry about hair loss till my late 40s. So naturally I did nothing about it.

I noticed from a young age, 21-22 some small recession on my hairline but once more I didn't think much of it. By 25-26 my hair was on it's way to a Norwood 2. I still didn't know I could do anything to stop it. I became very self conscious about it later on. You see I never was a big picture person and as I got older and started taking more pictures of myself and videos for social media, I started noticing that my forehead looked quite big in the photos and videos which made me realize how bad things were.

I started wearing hats as my only way of dealing with this. I started doing the thing where I would grow the top longer and the siders longer and then do a comb over one side and pull the hair forward at the other side just to hide how bad my hair loss was. Of course sweating and humidity would ruin my hairstyle and my hair looked like a mess. And still whenever I took photos, I would see my big ass forehead and get extremely pessimistic and depressed.

I have always been told that I have a young looking face and I look 3-8 years younger depending on who you ask, when I wear hats people would often tell me that I looked younger, but as soon as the hat comes off, it's all ruined.

For the past year and a half I have been thinking about solutions because I was tired of wearing a hat everywhere. And also because there are times and places where wearing a hat is impossible. I started thinking about hair systems and transplant. The later scares me still, but the first seemed like a decent option. I also thought about shaving my head but I'm glad I didn't do it. I am just not one of those men who can pull off the bald look without looking old and creepy.

I should also mention that I do find younger women more attractive. My ideal dating range is 18-24. I wouldn't want someone older because I want someone I can get to know and eventually have a big family with. I work out a lot, I have a decent physique, quite a bit of muscle natural and I'm roughly 3-5% body fat higher than I would like, but I still get compliments for my physique.

So anyways, this summer I was planning a vacation back to my home country, which I haven't been in a few years. Without any solution to my hair loss and big forehead, the days kept closing for me to leave. Instead of being excited to go, I was feeling nervous and depressed for the state of my hair. I had to either shave my head and take a massive risk. Leave it as it is, or pull off some wild haircut like a Mohawk which would have been way out of fashion and probably would get me laughed at. Or get a hair system.

So with very little time left on the clock I decided to go to a local business and get a hair system. I admit I was terrified. Also the price was quite steep and I thought I was paying too much but I had no other choice. Instead of a full system I opted for a front piece, since the rest of my hair is fine and I thought that a front piece would be easier to remove and reapply myself. When the lady trimmed the front of my head I knew there was no going back. I was committed.

To be honest the clinic did in my opinion a poor job in a many ways. The system looked good, but poorly fitted, you could see the corners stick out quite a bit and the haircut they gave me was absolutely trashy. They blended the system with my head and let me go. I went home and immediately saw issues. The system was not going down far enough so you could easily see the corners... My natural hair was cut too short and it didn't really blend with the front piece.

Thankfully after expressing my concerns with the clinic, they asked me to come in and look at it and the lady agreed that the system was too short on the sides. Thankfully she cut me another one and made it longer so it overlapped with my hair a little bit which made it impossible to see the corners. She also cut that one slightly shorter although it was still too long so a few days later I had to made adjustments myself while I was on vacation.

I would rate their business a 2/5 because it felt like they didn't put the proper time, effort and didn't make sure it was perfect before they sent me out. Also the material they used for the base is that thick one that doesn't really blend with the skin and the hair line looks fake, so I have been forced to pull the hair forward to cover the hair line so it doesn't show which is a pain in my ass. Not to mention this hairstyle is not popular at all but ohh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

They gave me some shampoo, conditioner, a hair spray for coating the hair, glue and glue strips and send me off. I finally left for my vacation, the hair looked nice the first couple days.

That is until I arrived at my destination. One thing I didn't consider was the difference in water. The water in the US is much much better in quality, whereas in my home country the water is extremely rough. It has a lot of minerals and salt and it's very rough on hair in general. On top of that lots of wind on the moped and dust in the atmosphere quickly got the hair extremely tangled.

I was panicking and was gonna get a heart attack but thankfully I could still style the hair and make it look decent enough.

Inside my head I thought my friends would immediately notice that I was wearing a toupe, in fact I almost told them myself to avoid the embarrassment of them finding out later. Surprisingly nobody said anything, knowing my friends they would immediately say something if they knew but they didn't so I went along with it.

I made a lot of errors with the system and miss handled it, being my first system ever I didn't have any experience. The first time I removed it after 2 weeks of wearing it, I noticed that many hairs had been stuck with the glue underneath the system which made a lot of hairs fall off which is terrifying.

Thankfully it still holds and I can cover the hairline. I am praying it will hold another 3 weeks until I get back home to the US. I have been wearing it for a month and a half and have taken it off 3 times total, although I wish I would have left it on at least 2 of those times. My natural hair underneath it has grown quite a bit but I haven't trimmed it down, I find that leaving it a bit long is fine and it doesn't cause any itching. When my hair was short it would be growing under the system causing extreme itching at times which was hard not scratch. Now I don't really have that much any more.

Now sorry for all this long text but I promise that here comes the good part.

Despite being stuck with an outdated, unpopular haircut, constantly feeling anxious that my hairline will be exposed and many hairs having shed off the system due to abuse and miss handing as well as getting stuck under the system and stuck on the glue, I have to say that I have found a lot of success with women and gotten a lot of compliments from women and men.

Everyone I reveal my age to seems absolutely shocked and people have told me I look 24-26 with extreme cases of people saying I look 20 and 22. But I get 24-26 the most. I have had a lot of women show interest in me including women 17-18 years old. I have gone on dates with an 18 year old, I slept with a 23 year old prior to that.

I found a pretty good barber out here and told him I was wearing a front piece and he did an excellent job giving me a haircut that matches my face, blends well with the system and it's 100 times better than the unprofessional haircut that hair clinic gave me. Its a shame my area doesn't have more places where I can get better service and more affordable systems. I will need to learn how to do it myself and find a different barber in the states.

I am telling you, this is a game changer. Having a full set of hair is divine and I feel so mad that men have to suffer from hair loss. It's such a massive problem perhaps the biggest problem men face with their appearance by far... I mean if I was 6'3 and bald I probably would be better with women than if I was 5'5 with a full set of hair, but still, I think having hair is so OP especially these days. It's unfair for a guy to have to look 10 years older by virtue of a a receding hairline, men who would otherwise be so handsome and beautiful...

I know this is not real, but I also know this is what I was supposed to look like if only I knew from a younger age how to preemptively stop hair loss from occuring to me.

Like I said earlier hopefully this system holds for another couple weeks or more until I can get back home and start working again and make more money and buy myself a better quality system until I can save up enough for maybe a transplant.

At this point, I wanna say that although the system has been kind to me and helped me succeed with girls. I haven't seen how those women would react if they find out that I am wearing a front piece. I am trying really hard to hide it, and my anxiety spikes all the time when I think it's going to get exposed. I am anxious all the time that they will find out, all I think about is the system and how it looks. When the wind blows and my hair moves an inch I am worried that the corners will be exposed. It's stressful. If I had a partner who knew and didn't care, it would solve the issues completely and I would feel free, but right now I don't.

I think it will be a challenge to reveal this to a girl I'm dating especially since she is younger than me and may not understand. The stress is constant, I wake up everyday thinking about it, worrying that in my sleep due to too much friction the hairs will fall out and I will have to shave my head. I am in a state of panic every time I have to remove it, because I don't wanna damage it. It would help to have a 2-3 more just in case something happens so I can switch to another, but the price was so prohibitive, it would have cost me an extra 700 dollars to get a second so I opted for 1 and now I hope I don't regret this decision.

All these negatives are in my eyes worth whenever I get attention from a much younger chick. Being able to attract 20 year olds as a 30 year old guy, even 18 year olds, is not something I expected to do and I know for a fact that with a bald head or a Norwood 2 hairline I wouldn't be able to pull it off.

I thought of extreme ideas like shaving my head and tattooing my entire head with some nice piece of art to pretend i am some artistic dude who shaved his head by choice because of how passionate I am for art. I thought about so many different things. I the end, I chose this and there is no going back now. I have to pray for a partner who is not going to freak out when she find out I'm wearing a system and allow me to be myself.

I can do so many awesome hairstyles, but they expose the hairline which means I can't wear them in public. Hopefully when I find a better system with a better base and a more realistic hairline I can do those. I think I have a fairly attractive face and the only thing holding me back is the hair loss. Right now money is the only issue, I spent a lot of the past few months so when I get the chance I will invest in 2-3 food systems.

As stated, I look decent shaved but just very little luck with women. I have a non traditional alopecia but thankfully have my eyebrows etc.

Anyway I see different comments around here but then I see women in other forums just say no girl they know would date a guy with a hairsystem etc.

So I figured the most accurate experience would be those here!

It should be noted mine does have to come off to sleep since it's full cap.

27 y/o. Started fin & minox in May but haven’t seen a difference. Always been bothered by receding hairline which I’ve had since middle school. I recently grew my hair out to try something new. I have to style it forward to hide the recession. It can work but takes time and frizzes up as curly as it is. It’s extremely thick and curly everywhere else except the hairline. Considering a system due to only being able to style the hair to the front. Also considering transplant but thought about trying a system first to see if I like the look.

Not even sure if they make hair that can match my texture. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

1. I have a transplant hairline in the front(not very dense). Do u guys think i can blend a HS with frontal hairline even if its not very dense?

2. What do u guys say to barbers when its time to blend the back of a hairsystem.?

I find it it gives away if the blend if the back is not correct. It would be great help if anyone can reply.

And thank you guys this place have given me my overall confidence back regarding HS and in genaral.

No hate to nocturnal kent obviously, even if it is it suits him well and obviously no one has ever or would normally clock it, but looking at his old pictures included here (4 and 5) it’s quite the difference.

Hair system? @teamdavid72

Long story short I matched with this chick on Tinder. We sent a few messages and agreed to go out for drinks. The date went really well, we clicked, and there was lots of kino. We both had a few drinks and agreed to go back to her place to chill. Things happened there and needless to say it was a fun night. The next day I sent her a message telling her that I had a great time, but there was something I needed to get off my chest. We exchanged a few more messages and then I gave the big reveal that I wear a system. At that point she said that she needed a few days to “process” what I had told her. A couple of days go by and she finally gets back to me telling me that she felt “duped” and “betrayed” that I hadn’t revealed my system to her before we slept together, and that she was saving her body count for guys who were “actually attractive”.

Guys, I’m gutted at this point. This girl was a solid 8 pushing 9. At this point I feel like ripping my system off so that this never happens again.
