I get the feeling that his whole idea is luxury or more expensive means perfect quality without looking at actual factors that affect the experience. I feel he dove in with 0 research but full expectations. Good review man. Got my first system through a partnership and I’m expecting to struggle for a while until I get the ins and outs. Your videos at least have given me an idea of what things to look at.
It’s humorous watching the guys reaction now that I’ve had years of experience wearing a system. It’s a lifestyle change, a learning curve and you have to want it. It’s only a pain or setback if you look at it as such. Also the dude got ripped off imo, it’s cheap when you figure out how to maintain yourself!
It's pretty sad because most of his reasons are just from bad implementation, but he's putting loads of guys off happiness. As soon as he started talking about £1500 systems i knew it would be full of other mistakes
Question. I’ve had a hair system for 10 months now. I enjoy it a lot. I’ve gone through 2 in the 10 months. I’ve noticed it doesn’t feel as soft as natural hair. Is this normal ?
@@codie4978 you shouldn’t wear a hair system for more than 3-4 months. I go 4 months which is stretching it. The hair will turn into straw after a while unless you condition it or use hair oils frequently. Mine only feels natural for about a month
Hey Jake, thanks to watching your channel For a few months I finally did it and got a hair system I've had it on for a little over a week and it's going well watching the sky makes me laugh because haven't seen any of those problems yet and it's still on my head. Everything you taught and warned about has been just about 100% accurate. Keep up the videos you're making a difference. You're like my friend that I call when I need guidance I'll keep you posted
£1500?? I got mine first for less than 200 USD and currently I have been using a frontal patch only which I bought for 30 USD lmao and it looks great as I have my own hairline too. And yes it wasnt easy at first to manage it but I learnt to take care of it gradually
Hello Jake, I'm glad you did this video. It's so important that other people who may stumble across his video get another perspective. As such I went over and commented on it myself. I echo what others already said: he paid too much, he didn't do his research, his expectations were way off, he really didn't give it enough time and apparently didn't speak up with the stylist he paid good money to. I hope he does more research with implants because that's a whole different level of commitment! Always appreciate you Jake, thank you.
It's so dangerous when people represent hair transplant surgery as just matter of fact and like it's no big deal like that Javier guy did. There are so many bad hair transplant docs out there and you can be scarred for life. I'm not saying some people don't get amazing results, but you need a really good donor area and a truly talented doctor AND you'll be on meds forever. It is not simple surgery, it's a big deal and needs to be researched and not entered into lightly.
Finasteride side effects are also HUGELY understated. The 1% effected number is a JOKE! DHT plays a huge role in brain and sexual functioning, Some people can take the hit from lowering it and others cannot at all even w the help of free t being high or on trt. (The whole dht is a trash hormone concept is just plain wrong.) I’ve spent alot of time researching the best route and unfortunately if I’m true to the evidence for me there is no way but bald or hair system. I refuse to fix the problem through messing w my my biology whenever the outcomes do not help my overall health.
@@trumusereviews5195true, I took it and had brain fog and no labido but didn’t report it. It’s also a trade off like a hair system but the instead of head itch, glue, maintenance it’s cognitive decline and erectile dysfunction. I was ok with the sides because I accepted the trade off but eventually it stopped working - if you look at the graph you go back to baseline hair count after 5 years or something which is what happened to me
I commented on his video a couple of weeks ago - he’s been badly supported, informed and overcharged. Shame he hadn’t gone somewhere that offered the above and I have a feeling he wouldn’t have had made a video in this vain. ❤
do you know if wearing a hair system will damage your existing hair follicles along the region where they shave your scalp? Im only a Norwood 2 or so, but i want to go the hair system route first before getting a hair transplant, however i don't want my existing hair follicles on top ruined or damaged if i get the system. Are you aware if it does damage to existing follicles?
yooo you’ve got the GNU forest bailey snowboard in the background. Beautiful board, i’ve got the same one! I don’t ride it anymore but it’s a piece of art.
I don't really lose my hair anymore, but after covid (yeah, that lol), I started thinning out. It was noticeable. It grew back and I'm ok now, but the feeling of losing my hair.. terrible. I think hair systems are great, if it makes you happy and confident, go for it. I'm a woman btw, and idk about men, but a good part of my identity as a woman comes from my hair.
Thanks Jake for your videos and your reviews! Very glad to hear what you and others experience. from these comments below, sounds like your viewers are experienced and spot on too.
Light density is super important for a natural look. My experience with Hairpiece Warehouse has been extremely negative. The manager talked down to me and was extremely unprofessional.
Thanks, Jake. This makes me realise that I was a foolish to give up on hair systems after one go back in 2019. Looking back, I spent months and months preping & the end result was AMAZING; I know first-hand it can look incredible, if done right. And I did it mostly right first time. But 6 days later I took it off and saw a bad skin reaction, really bad. And gave up. I should have given it longer and used other methods/products. But I threw it away and shaved. But now I’m still not happy being bald and I work from home 99% of the time. Think I’ll try again. Why not, its my life.
Yeah, I wore them for 1.5 year too, and then stopped. But I'm gonna go back to them. The difference in treatment, especially in dating is just massive.
@@max_rove hi, Max. Why did you stop? I now have a decent stock system from Lavivid cut in and have ordered a custom unit which will take a few months. It's a pain in the ass to get it sitting right and the barber that cut the stock system didn't do a very good job, but it still looks pretty good. Cut too much off so it looks like I'm pretty receded, but that is fine! The next will be even better. Funnily enough, I am noticed LESS in public, weird. But when I am, people are more friendly. Shop assistants are nicer to me, especially women.
I am only 2 minutes into the video, and I am getting the impression he was not totally committed in the first place. If he was, he would have done his research and asked a lot of questions. Thank you for this video and for supporting us who are committed.
I spotted this video before seeing yours here. I left him a polite and (I hope) constructive comment as I was also concerned about a number of things he said. He didn't react well, which suggests to me he's a bit thin skinned. Something certainly doesn't add up when he appears to boast about spending thousands on a daily shopping trip but then segues into "cheap" hair transplants in Turkey. I only ask that guys who are considering a hair transplant in Turkey do a lot of research as the standard of regulation is not the same as in the UK, EU and US. Plus, if something goes wrong it is a long way to go back and/or in the worst case to take legal action....On a personal note, I had my first system fitted a month back (in London where I live). A transplant is not an option for me as I have thin horse shoe hair (something to think about as it has thinned over the years and had I had a transplant from these areas I don't think it would look too good now). I have had no problems with irritation. I do appreciate that everyone is different, but that there are all sorts of tapes and glues and other teatments (like scalp protector) that can work if you have such issues. I plan to try a re-install myself in a few weeks (once I have got used to it all via a clinic) and have found your videos a great help. Thanks again for all you do.
@@tusharroy6712 Aspiration.... I have fitted it myself a couple of times now. It takes me ages, but am gradually getting used to it. I I've had this system for seven months and a new one should arrive soon. I wish I'd done this a few years back.
Love this video! Like any change in your life, you have to give yourself time to get used to it or you'll never capture the learning curve, thus eventually improving your quality of life. Change can be scary, but if you give it a chance, it can improve the quality of your life tenfold!
Not only did he get ripped off getting that "luxury" system, he also clearly didn't do any reasearch beforehand. He obviously wasn't even ready to go through the getting used to and learning phase..
As a guy with naturally curly hair, can confirm bed head is a thing, silk bonnet or no, so if his transplant works he's gonna have to deal with it too 🤯🤣 Your content's really interesting - perhaps I pay for my luck with the kinky hair with my kinky spine (damn you scoliosis). Also interesting that YT, as soon as I hit my early 40s, started showing me hair loss content! More power to whatever makes us all feel we're a great version of ourselves eh?
Poor fella. It takes some getting used to to. We all went big hair… They actually look more natural as they wear out. Many year’s system wearer. Some people are hard to please. It’s a very steep learning curve. My first cleaning took 4 hours of stress. As an old pro, I can do it in an hour. Instant gratification is not you get. You’re always learning new tricks.
The guy you're reviewing seems like a pampered whiner and If I were to make the mistake of getting through some of his video, I would certainly have abandoned it when he brags about 3,000 for a shirt. It's nauseating if his viewers don't recognize this and disregard anything he says.
Why you get offended by this man's reaction? You took it very personally, the guy just said his opinion and stated facts, I find your reaction to his video is really bizarre.
No, that guy was not stating facts. He was stating his opinions. There's a difference. He paid too much, didn't do his research, and wasn't patient. Those are facts.
He didn't sounded at all 'offended' to me. His comments are very reasonable. Welcome to the internet, making commentary videos is pretty routine stuff and is not automatically routed in "offense".
This guy in the video is saying hair systems are not the answer. That’s a load of bull shit. What he should be saying is hair systems aren’t the answer for him personally
I get the feeling that his whole idea is luxury or more expensive means perfect quality without looking at actual factors that affect the experience.

I was 63 when I got my first piece and style. OMG i walked out looking like Elvis. Was so embarrinssing I literarly ripped it off when I got home.
The hairstylist blow-drying your unit to maximize puff is so true XD every damn time.
Yep, was the same for me and I even told them "don't give me a huge Elvis quiff, I wanna keep it subtle". Got a quiff anyway and had to fix it myself.
