I think it's great that you're teaching people how to better their hair systems, and I am here for it! but in case anyone here is worried, as a complete lay person, I would NEVER have thought these guys were wearing hair systems at all. totally Undetectable to my untrained eye. they just look good!
@ 6:01 in the video I think the hair piece is great, nice unit! It's not missing a patch of hair in the front like the one I received. Very dissapointed with this defective hair frontal piece I received. I would be thilled if I received a unit as nice as this one. What was the name of the company that sales units as this one????
Absolutely amazing and educating video that everyone considering a system should watch. I personally have been studying hair systems myself for the last 1-2 years and have had the EXACT same thoughts as you did here about these "undercut" looks always looking at bit if not very off. But here's the thing... the short sides and heavy top is a style plenty of men have. It's in. The problem with the hair systems and this look though, is actually NOT so much the short sides at all, but more about one word - DENSITY. These companies make these systems FAR too dense, especially at the hairline area. Even as a teenager it would be unusual to have density as strong as some of these units have at the hairline area. What we need to get are these companies making more graduated (thinner) hairlines in their units, plain and simple. If you can't get a unit with that you can either thin out the hairline yourself with a tweezer (Curtis did a video on this once) or go with the the long sides look which blends it all in together much better.
For sure, the density is an issue. I’m rocking a medium now, and it’s borderline to thick. I’m going to experiment with customizing the hairline with my current unit, because, I agree. The gradiate, imperfect frontal hairlines would be far better.
The fade with a slicked back pompadour is the LAST hairstyle anyone should get if they wear a hair system. It just draws attention to the artificial looking hairline. A messy brushed forward style is much better. It breaks up the hairline and looks much more natural.
It's great to hear your thoughts on textures and installations. When you get a chance it would be really helpful if you could evaluate some hair systems made for men of afro-Caribbean or afro-American heritage. My favourite content creator is @Mickeythebarber. She's a magician. I'm really thinking of flying all the way from London to see her.
Hey. Great video. Do you have the links for the source videos? There's a few id like to watch in full. Thinking of changing my style up and I like a few of the looks. Cheers again. Great vid.
Me: Sees title and heart sinks to stomach thinking I'm going to be in this video. Also me: Watches the video with one eye open and breathes sigh of relief at the end. 😂
It’s naturally a very easy look to achieve. You’ll want the hair parted a 1/2 inch or so into the hair system, to have a blended look to the side that’s parted
Heydecke really has access to great pieces......and the family and staff are talented stylists........I would love to see what they could do with my horribly bio hair and a super thin all injected skin piece...........if they could make mine look good they can make anyones look good...........I would tell me to shave my head if I sat down in my chair. !!! lol
The second guy (as well as the first) has temple recession. Most bald men have it. When you have a low, very thick hairline from a hair piece it makes the forehead look very wide because of the lack of temple points. The third guy still has temple points so that low, thick hairline is tied in by his temple points.
I don't get why you have that Shure SM7b hanging around if you're not going to use it? The audio levels were way off on this video and got completely blasted on the next one. Besides that, especially the last hair-style is absolutely stunning.
Hey Jake, great content today and I totally agree 100%. The shaved sides looks ridiculous for a hair system. It makes it look like you have a mop on your head. It looks so much more natural where there’s a very slight fade on the side which gradually gets longer as you move upward. Like yours for example, it looks so natural because the sides are longer and it’s a natural fade. ....The shaved sides with the hard line makes me cringe inside. Also one very important thing to remember it a natural hairline is approximately the width of 4 fingers above the top of your eyebrows. The third guys hairline was way too low on his forehead. For your Friday thing you mentioned, I’d love to see a video about how to properly was your hair in the shower with a hair system on. Do you use cooler water, do you pull the shampoo/conditioner downward on the hair system part and wash regular on the bio har? To save money, do you use salon quality shampoo/conditioner on the hair system and just regular store brand on the bio so the expensive stuff lasts longer? Do you only shampoo twice a week but condition daily? I guess it’s also important to use leave in conditioner every day. Hehe, can’t lie, seeing you in the shower would just be an added bonus but at least I’m honest, you’re a terrific looking guy but in all seriousness, these are questions I’ve wondered about that aren’t addressed often. It’s always about original installation and reinstalls online it seems. Love your channel.I’m a big fan, although I feel like you’re my friend. 🙂
I'm completely new to this and honestly totally overwhelmed. I'm 30 and have pretty decent back and sides but the top of my head basically has the crown missing, the a strip of hair going through the middle and then the very rounded bangs (norwood 4/5) Would it be possible for me to achieve the last look in this video and if so what hair system would I be looking at (french,swiss, .03/.05 poly etc.)
Definitely going to be a tough one to style. It had a lot going on with it. Wonder what something like that would look like on days I wouldnt style it. That's the kicker for me with these hair systems
I do my own systems and installations, HOWEVER, I have very low density on the sides of my head. I have to rock a disconnected look. What solutions do I have? Will I always have to rock a disconnected look when wearing a hair system? Here’s a pic ibb.co/RvMpxsW I mean I like it, but there will come a day where that look fades kinda like a mullet lol, but make a come back, kinda like a mullet. Edit: I also pluck my hairline before installing, I do it all the way around so it doesn’t look weird if you know what I mean?
awesome...ive been using toppik to blend the sides how do you get it so good? i wear bangs because i cant use glue but even occassionally when i do the hairline never looks great-i was told because my hair is dark even with bleached knots its hard to blend into the skin
Michael Gordon I balayage the hair close to the root. Helps diffuse the hairline without it looks so harsh or dark. After using lightner, I tone the brown/blonde pieces to make it look natural. Right now I’m using Rogain on the sides of my head, hoping it can make the hairs thicker so I can grow out of a disconnected haircut. Best of luck!
Unfortunately last piece i got i forgot to order the knots bleached..i think its swiss lace..after 20 years i should know the difference between swiss and french lace all i know is thé piece can last a year with minimal hair loss so its durable...but Id love to confidently rock the messy Justin Bieber undercut look...lol not a Bieber fan but like his hair...I am getting sick of wearing thé messy semi-céasar look...i tried brushing every hair of thé piece forward using toppik to conceal thé base but it doesnt turn out great...not sure what balayage means in English..unless it means thé same in French...maybe you could help me ...even if I have To wear bangs Id still like to rock thé undercut look...i guess that would mean hair forward and a fringe look...i néed suggestions Id send you pics for advice if I could andyoure open to it
I started designing units...........or using skin pieces and customizing the size to literally look like the client was very slowly regrowing their hair........usually done in 3 stages.....or pieces........before their finished product.....I called it ultra custom......no i didnt finally rape clients for that option...but it did cost more as it require 3 extra pieces......slowly moving up in density.........hairline...bla bla bla.....i tend to ramble........interesting synopsis of these clients on here.......seems like a lot of people will be on point then blow the realism factor somehow...................Heydecke......usually are superior......then I will see a vid and literally show my family and be like.......ok am I blind........cant they see that........the pomps........quiffs....requiring such density...........few can pull it off...................now as judgemental as I am about fake hair...........I make the absolute worst client............i pretty much use a 8x10 leave it long.........or order 10 inches of hair and try to pull off looking cool.......which ......hey its the best i can do lol
Firstly, thanks for all your videos, i watch a lot of them & appreciate your efforts. However, i think you need to be more positive towards undercuts. Remember, a lot of guys (i.e. with DUPA etc) have very thin sides and don't have this luxury. I notice your sides are starting to thin out too - you may have this problem soon yourself. Perhaps be more positive & do a video for styles which DO work with undercuts! 😊
Not meant to be an attack on you - your system looks great. But this is a huge problem, i see so many guys with thin sides & full caps are a nightmare (enough challenges with partial ones). Maybe its an area of the market you can tap into. Also, when some of my friends with full heads of REAL hair get undercuts they totally look like hair systems. So, maybe some undercut styles don't quite look as unreal as you suggest? (Although i do agree with most of your comments). An example of a good style (although the colour match is a bit off) is this particular one which the salon guy cut in himself: th-cam.com/video/KpAjTyx4qtE/w-d-xo.html Thanks again, Joe
The first guy I feel bad for because his stylist was terrible at blending and being creative with what makes the client look good. Guy number one needs to find a more reputable hairstylist. I am definitely not a fan of the fade.
Onna Hair does an amazing work! The only thing I'm a bit suspicious about with them is that they claim their systems last 6-9 months, which I find highly unlikely.
@@АлександарЦветановић 9 months? I don't know about that. Swiss lace can definitely last 6 months, but you gotta take outstanding care of that. Being extremely gentle and not shampooing the system too often.
@@michaelgolodini my thoughts exactly. And I'm not necessarily referring to shedding, what worries me the most is the discoloration of the unit. There's no chance anyone call pull off a 9 months wear out of a single unit without having it drastically discolored in comparison to your bio hair. That can't really look good.
@@АлександарЦветановић Actually discoloration is fixable. Just dye the system more often. What cannot last for too long is a frontal hairline. The hair sheds there, but that's not the worst thing 'cause you can ventilate that. The lace itself gets worn out there, and there is no cure for that.
The guy at 3:31 went ahead against his stylist and messed with the system himself, I know who did it... you can't force the client to always do the right thing.
@@JakeKent I work for the company that did the system. The original results of the system (as seen on Buzzfeed) were awesome... but then, when they went back to see him in a follow-up, he apparently either went to another stylist, or did it himself. This happens... we can't control it.
jake your posts are great, but i do feel you are being incredibly nit picky on this one. i don't think any of this systems would be enticed by 99.9 percent of folks
Hi Jake your own hair in this video isn’t looking it’s best. Not sure why you had to criticise other company’s work . I thought they all looked amazing. I think to get away with very short back and sides just depends on how good your hairdresser is. The guy in the first vid made the mistake of not having a comb back hair style that is why it didn’t look right. I have seen amazing short back sides with a hair system and they look super realistic. In this video you can see a big difference in your hair regarding the colour on the sides as the colours don’t match
This comment simply goes to show how people can be bitchy for no reason whatsoever at times. Our of this whole video, I'm honestly baffled how you ACTUALLY found something negative to cling onto? The guy literally apologized for speaking out what we all know is true, even though that's not something we should be apologizing for, especially if we have good intentions at heart. The fact is - hair systems are prone to looking fake if not cut or styled properly. If that's the case, how can pointing that out and giving tips on how to solve it be considered a bad thing? Isn't realism what we're all striving for in this area? I really think Jake was doing us all a favor here with this video, please don't spread hate for no reason.
If I'm being honest, they all look fake to me, though the last one at 13:17 is pretty good. That's the only one I probably wouldn't spot in person. But that is immediately after having it put in. I wonder how that would hold up over weeks. And the reasons for the other ones looking fake are: 1, as you said, the stupid side fade they all insist on doing. It totally makes the system look like a little sprouting hat just plopped down onto their heads. So stupid. Why not let the sides grow out a bit longer so the system blends in? Like you said, 100% draws the eye to the hairline, and extends the hairline around the entire head. The other reason they look fake to me, and I find this to be the case with almost all systems I've seen, and it makes me wonder why makers don't address it, but--those hairlines are so ridiculously straight. They look like they are drawn on with a ruler. It's a dead giveaway. I feel like systems could actually be pretty good if they weren't designed to look so perfect that they are entirely unrealistic.
thanks for the feedback. yes, that particular look is very hard to achieve, but its a very common look for men right now. its one of the hardest to pull of. and yes, the straight hairline generally is a dead giveaway. there are recessed hairlines available, but many men don't go for them. however, there is other technologies that are more expensive that i want to bring to market more readily. european hair (as opposed to indian), diffused hairlines, and organic irregular hair lines.
That’s why I also hate when all the stock hair systems in the market are 100% density. I wish there was an 80% density sold as stock instead of custom. It’s ridiculous to have to wait 2 to 3 months to get that low-density her system.
These days, nobody has time to inspect others hair minutely with a magnifying glass. So no need to be unnecessarily conscious of your hair system, style and front hair line. It should only look good and impressive. That's enough for a person who had been bald and lost his confidence.
I think it's great that you're teaching people how to better their hair systems, and I am here for it! but in case anyone here is worried, as a complete lay person, I would NEVER have thought these guys were wearing hair systems at all. totally Undetectable to my untrained eye. they just look good!

I agree with your assessments. You have a pretty good sense for aesthetic detail. In particular, you get what makes a system look fake vs realistic
Thanks!
The bottom line is when you wear a hairpiece it is best not to brush your hair all the way back, because when that hairline shows that's the giveaway.
Absolutely amazing and educating video that everyone considering a system should watch. I personally have been studying hair systems myself for the last 1-2 years and have had the EXACT same thoughts as you did here about these "undercut" looks always looking at bit if not very off.

Jake Kent thanks Jake... and be sure to let us know what brand of system you have when you find out !
The fade with a slicked back pompadour is the LAST hairstyle anyone should get if they wear a hair system. It just draws attention to the artificial looking hairline. A messy brushed forward style is much better. It breaks up the hairline and looks much more natural.
It is certainly easier to maintain. But, Curtis Over at my hair experience has done a great job with his.

I think the high fade looks great on him, although a bad choice for a wearer due to how difficult it is to maintain
Using toppik can help blend a piece with an undercut..problem with the undercut is its too thick no scalp showing and hairline too perfect
Perhaps the reason why they do a dramatic fade is to lengthen the time before the next servicing/haircut.
perhaps.
i rock a mohawk with my hair system and dont wanna do blending or looking regular, haha
haha thats rad!
I did a faux hawk for years great way to disguise an old piece and no one ever thinks of a hawk as a piece
2:35 I saw this guy's vid before yours and thought exactly the same.
hahaha i know right??
Hey. Great video. Do you have the links for the source videos? There's a few id like to watch in full. Thinking of changing my style up and I like a few of the looks. Cheers again. Great vid.

Me: Sees title and heart sinks to stomach thinking I'm going to be in this video.
Also me: Watches the video with one eye open and breathes sigh of relief at the end. 😂
bro, as of late, your system has been looking fire!!! you're doing a great job!
Thanks man!! Means a lot for you to say that
What do you think about getting a medium-low density piece and having a comb over haircut?
It’s naturally a very easy look to achieve. You’ll want the hair parted a 1/2 inch or so into the hair system, to have a blended look to the side that’s parted
Heydecke really has access to great pieces......and the family and staff are talented stylists........I would love to see what they could do with my horribly bio hair and a super thin all injected skin piece...........if they could make mine look good they can make anyones look good...........I would tell me to shave my head if I sat down in my chair. !!! lol

Very good point. Temple recession is key to determining the proper hairline
Jake Kent There is a hair transplant doctor in LA that creates temple points for Norwood 6 & 7 patients to tie in with hair pieces.
Your not being judgemental........your honest..........the hard line to me.......screams WIG..................
Yeah I hear ya!

These days, nobody has time to inspect others hair minutely with a magnifying glass. So no need to be unnecessarily conscious of your hair system, style and front hair line. It should only look good and impressive. That's enough for a person who had been bald and lost his confidence.
