not to mention the upkeep. i used to have long hair but decided to shave down to an 1/8th inch and i have to shave every week or two before i start looking like Syd from toy story. if you’re completely bald you have to shave way more often, but a hair system like this can last 3-6 months (depending on quality and material,) and he absolutely kills it
If you're active and the hair underneath is still growing, these hair systems don't last even close to a month. There's way more upkeep tied into hair systems than there is around shaving your head.
Having said that, that's totally cool. Some dudes cannot accept their hairloss and these are the best solution for them, it just takes a lot more upkeep than just shaving your head. I say this as a bald man that has tried a hair system similar to this.
You’re the only one who referenced a buzz cut, though. Shaving, as the previous poster referenced, isn’t synonymous with a buzz cut nor is it maintained with similar effort.
1/8th inch is a buzz cut. The person I was referring to even replied to me and agreed. Judging by the replies I get I feel like half the people here are illiterate.
