Curtis, I'm an older woman with significant hair loss who has worn hair systems for several years. Much of the information and tips you discuss in your videos also, I find, also apply to women's system; in fact, I find your videos to be more helpful than the sites devoted to women's hair replacement. Not sure if other women watch your videos, but thought you might find this interesting. You're a great educator and your videos. are both entertaining and extremely informative.
Best tip for people who sweat alot (it's genetic) is to cut back on coffee. Caffeine ramps up oil production by a shit ton. It's night and day Every since cutting back I get alot more time with an attachment before it gets itchy/smelly
Whats up brother. Also a native floridian here. Been growing out my mr burns for my hair piece and getting ready to buy a piece. Do you have a location. Would love your expertise and help putting it on and getting it setup. Thanks man

Hey Curtis, I'm using Ghost Bond Platinum for my hairline and everytime I do a sweaty workout, my hairline lifts. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong or what I should try? Thanks
@@tedgore5365 I'm active as well and was in the same situation. I went from Ghost Bond Platinum to the Walker Max Sport and Ultra Hold combo and it works great.
Another quick question for you, do you ever have the issue when redoing a hairline, that in certain places, the very front edge of the hairline wants to fold in on itself? I’d say about the first millimetre or two, so very small, but enough to be noticeable and create lift while being very difficult to get your fingers under. It’s definitely clean with no tacky feeling, so it’s not sticking to itself with adhesive, but it just seems to be the natural resting position of the front of this hairline in one side of my hairline. I’m thinking maybe I should just cut it out, but I don’t want to ruin the thinned out front portion of my hair. I can’t get it to stay flat long enough to continue :/
Get a qtip. put rubbing alcohol on it. Get under the lip. get it to lay flat. Then cut it (the extra material not the hair) away so it doesnt happen again!! DONE !!!
@@HairExperience That worked great, thanks! Unfortunately the fold was large enough that I had to cut pretty close to the thicker part of the hairline, but luckily managed to slowly pluck away to thin out the front to make it look natural again :)
What’s the best way to find out what’s best for your body? I have tried many different bonds both glue and tape and I think my body sweats to much. I have tried the no sweat sprays. I can’t go longer than a week without my system getting extremely itchy. When I do take it off the glue is usually breaking down already. Most glues claim multiple weeks and I’m lucky if I get 1.
Hi David, tough to say since everyone is different. That this I always say, just have to try. I wish I had a better answer but its impossible to have a static answer for this
I live in Iraq and the weather is hot, and I'm experiencing some irritation from adhesive causing red skin and itching. I'm using ultra hold walker tape 2 weeks tape and a scalp protector from walker tape with all of that 3 days is the max that I can use my hair system so what is your advice. Note that I have oily skin.
My scalp sweats a lot and no matter what glue I use it lasts about 3 days and in the heat and summer even in U.K. I have to replace every day is there anything heavy duty I can use? I had Botox on my scalp to try and help and it didn’t worse !
Can you please do a video comparing the invisi skin with the. 05 poly? Positive a negative for both? I’ve been nervous to try the invisible skin on my husband, due to the fact that it sounds like it’s very sensitive to ripping. He wears both Lace and the .05 poly. If you’ve already done this, please tag me. Love your content!!
@HairExperience Curtis, I can't thank you enough for giving me the courage to go on this journey. I was so afraid in the beginning but your guidance really helped and honestly changed my life. With that being said, due to the pandemic, I've tried coming up for solutions for various issues we face with wearing a hair system. One of the biggest ones is when the unit starts to wear and literally tear what can we do. I came up with a technique of sorts to help take care of that and basically extend the life of the unit when dealing with holes and tears. I would love to go over that with you sometime and possibly make a video on it since i know tons of people would benefit from it. Keep in touch!
Ive seen all the hair replacement videos there are online but im going to buy from you first SOLELY on the honesty of what i see and hear right now...so dont stop putting these out...trust me
The biggest issue is that you typically can't submerge yourself in a pool if you're going swimming wearing one of these. The chlorine will ruin the hair.
Hey man. I’m supposed to be be getting my first hair system this week. I play a lot of sports and they guy at hair club told me it would be perfectly fine. He also told me that the hair system could last me 3 months to 3 years. Also said It will stay on for weeks. I’m terrified it’s going to come off and I won’t know how to put it back on. Can you comment on these issues please. Really appreciate it
Hey. It’s really something you need to ask again. To make sure both of your understand each other. That’s all about the products use. But I can tell you. You don’t want it if it lasts 3 years. Lol
How about winter hat wearing for us guys in snow climates? IL received its first snow fall today. It's been in the 50s all month. Today, I put on a knit ski cap and began to wonder is there a special way to take off the hat? What about the heat that builds up on my head when I'm shoveling snow? I felt the ski cap was too tight to be wearing with a hair unit. Got to keep the ears warm while protecting the structure of the hair unit.
Hey, good question. No not really. Ive worn a beanie a few times. No issue at all other than matted down hair, just like if it was your real hair Hope that helps
How much time of the week would you say you spend a week maintaining your hair system. Do you find it consumes your thoughts or do you barely even think about it while your wearing it?
I actually wouldn't mind a product comparison video on the different percentages of grey. I wear a 220 right now and would love to try a 230, just not sure how it would look
It’s very nominal, you would barley notice the difference. Give it a try ! You would notice the slight difference but other people wouldn’t notice at all !
Last August I went on a 10 day cruise, and not only did I do a LOT of swimming it was also hot and extremely humid. The day before the trip I did a 100% fresh install, and during the entire length of the trip I did one touch up of the hairline which took about 10 minutes and I was good the rest. I use walker max sport and ultra hold for reference and a duraskin unit. In my experience it works great and I don't really have issues with it lifting.
I used to have to do maintenance every two weeks and now, with my newer unit being three months in, I need to change almost weekly. Not sure if this unit is more sensitive and is wearing more, but it has me concerned. It’s very frustrating feeling like I need to do maintenance weekly
Hey Fred. I hopefully can assist on this. And ive heard of it many times. What I see is that the new unit is crystal clean, spotless. As time goes on, the unit base gets dirty. (Not saying your dirty lol), just the base is not as clean as it was when it was new. And this happens because of it. Thats the issue !!!
Hi Curtis, happy holidays to you and your family. I learn a lot from your YT videos. I am wearing a thin skin unit and I find a white bond that works very well on me. It’s called “Perma Rite extreme XL 18”. I live in NYC area and I am able to get 3 to 4 weeks hold with no touch up at all. This is recommended by my hair stylist. In the past I use Ghost bond or Walker ultra that hold for 1.5 to 2 weeks then I need a touch up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good video. In regards to sweating, I use a product called " No Sweat" (Scalp Anti Antiperspirant) and it works all during my 18hr. work shift. Happy Holidays & Happy New Year... Abrazos P.S. The idea of reviewing other products sounds like a winner. Stay Safe & Healthy.
Hey Curtis. I was thinking a video on each hair styling product you sell may be helpful. For someone like me I like to see how each one looks. Reading what each one does doesn't really help. Maybe take a few old systems and style each one showing what each product does and the shine of it?
The whole reason I cannot wear a hair system anymore is because I sweat so much and every glue I've tried just won't stick :( I was having to restick my hairline every single day befause it came unstuck and it knocked my confidence in wearing a system.
Well maybe here’s a video idea for you. I know you’ve kind of touched base on this a little bit, but I could sure use a lot more detail and visual cues of the full, in-depth procedure of installation starting from a stock piece. This might be a long one so totally appreciate it if you decide to deal with this but no pressure lol. I’m at my wit’s end with struggling how to install it perfectly. I’m new, I have no help, so it’s DIY-solo style, and installing is incredibly difficult. Cutting my stock hair to the shape of my own template doesn’t feel like it’s 100% perfect to my outline. It’s pretty close, but I feel like it’s so hard to get it perfectly sized. When I install, the hair is constantly flopping in my eyes so I can’t even see what I’m doing, all the while the hair is also flopping over the sides of the base so I can’t see where the poly-base meets my bio hair to make it perfectly flush… all the while I’m trying to not make the base or the hair stick to any tape/glue during this “alignment” phase. It’s hard when it’s so thick and curly and can’t be parted out of the way to see what I’m soing. And then when all is said and done? It overlaps a little bit. Flappity-flap-flap, it’s sticking out the back (or the sides). I’ll try to use a sharp exacto knife or thin scissors while it’s now glued onto my head, but I feel like it just leaves a rough edge that’s still noticeable by touch when sliding my hand through the sides of my hair, or even still visible a little when I try to have a somewhat disconnected fade. Can I even have a visible part between bio hair and the hair system, or should it always be blended for this reason? And then the front hairline… I never even really know where or how the front hairline is going to sit since the back “seems” easier to start the installation with, so I always seem to glue further down the hairline than needed because under-gluing seems tougher to correct. I always end up with my hair sticking to my forehead. Attempts to then remove the excess glue and stuck-hair always seems to lift the hairline back up, wrinkling the perfectly flat hairline, since I seem to have to use alcohol very precisely to aid in this process. I’m using a 0.03mm thin skin but Im at the point where I’m considering just shaving off all my bio hair as I try to make this look like I’m not wearing a hair system. It might be cool to see you do another, reeeaaallly in-depth and long video of a brand new stock system transitioning to a fresh install, especially if your technique has changed in the last 2-3 years. Even if to show that it hasn’t. Seeing all the steps from start to finish with any tips you can throw out, all in one video, I think would really help. Thanks, and happy new year!
Happy new year to you too!! And yes that is a great idea. I could see the frustration with a new one. Extra long hair flopping around etc. That makes sense for a good video, as I deal with the same frustration
As someone who is younger that follows you, I’ve learned a lot from you! Start giving us pro-tips or life hacks that you’ve learned that you can help us younger guys out with. Whether it be looks, women or just life. I feel like it would go a long way 👍
Make some more salon cut ins, new hair styles, try a new style next cut, how to fine salons to do you cut ins, color matching your sides if need be go out and live and film activities just some suggestions
Hi! Curtis . If I cut into the front hairline and hairs to give it some shape and appearance does that mean that the front hairline can loose some hairs and gradually ruin the look at the front. Are the hairs individually seperated or are they one hair knitted through areas of the poly Thanks Aiden
Hey Aiden. Cutting of the hairline is a big no no with my products. But as they fail the hair will begin to fall out. So some cutting will be necessary. Just dont cut into the shape of it. And it will not cause early failure. Your just cutting away the extra material anyways
@@HairExperience thanks 🙏 Also the hair used for the system is it remy hair ? Looking at the same system you wear !!! Just I’ve had systems that after a couple of washes start to tangle and Mat as they are obviously not cuticle correct! Cheers 🙂
@@ollyman36 We do not have tangle issues. With the right products used !!!! With the wrong products used anyones hair will tangle Remy: By definition, means cuticle in the same direction. So when you Vloop construct or knot construct a unit this is physically impossible. Remy could only be used in an injected unit with the hair being basically folded and making 2.
Been following for some time. Great videos🍼Havent been able to pull the trigger for many reasons,…work, family, time, etc etc. a couple thoughts and concerns,: Would u ever consider pop-up events in other cities, like LA? Where u could possibly help a few lucky winners hands-on, in 1 day. Lol. Also, regarding cut-ins. Lately im always observant of other guys’ hair. When it looks too perfect, i zoom closer, and notice its a piece..sometimes a transplant etc. do u think that , possibly Not doing a cut in, could make it look more natural?. In other words, having a bit of length, like the “i havent been to the barber in 2 months” look…maybe using a headband or pomping it up with a bit a gel, and letting the hair lay off to one side un-evenly natural. (Not sure of that makes sense).
Hey Tomas, great Idea. I wish I could travel or had the time. I do all the shipping, quality control, customer service etc. Every day. So unfortunately no time for me Not doing a cut in making it more natural ? No way. But I will say when the hair is grown out a little. Not this perfect cut, things do have a more natural appearance, but my opinion not in a good way. Ive grown my hair out many times. And you can let it ride for a while without a haircut.
@@HairExperience thanks for responding. 1 last question. I had a transplant about 14 yrs ago. I hav a scar on the back of my head. For years, had an ok head of hair. Now, im sorta back to square 1. Very thin on top. I kept my hairline tho, but its thin. Curious if its possible to keep my hairline with my own hair, and still use a piece that would start at about 2 centimeters behing my hairline. Thus, i would have a natural looking frontal hairline, plus full head of hair with the piece. Is this possible?
If you live in LA, you can still buy his hair systems, just go to hair replacement salon the first time. I used to live in California, I would buy his system .I would go to Actual Image " in Burbank for the services. Having roommates made it a pain to do myself. So I went to a salon
I think it woudl be interesting if you started venturing into the social experiment side of things. Maybe like approach women on the street and ask them if dating a man with a system would be a problem, or like make a dating profile with a man wearing a system. And record the interactions
I agree. But id rather do that in a town thats larger than mine. I live in a small town and its not hard to run into someone you know. When I go out of town next time, thats a good idea !!!
Happy holidays to u and your family. Merry Xmas and a happy new year. 🎊🎆🎈 keep rockin it. Keep rocking the rockstar swag and I wish u and your family well for 2022.
Curtis, you are the OG of hair units and have the best TY channel out there, and not knocking the other guys. I commend you on the detail, information, honesty and overall content that you publish. I’ll even watch you if you decide to put out cooking vids. 😂 STAY AWESOME...
Thank you Tom MF Jones!! Love the name, lol. I really want to continue and I want to add things to it, away from Hair systems. I just dont want to disrupt the channel, ya know
Hey Curtis, always love your videos. I was wondering the other day what the difference is in a leave in conditioner, and a rinse out conditioner? Another topic, you've probably already covered the next topic, but things could have changed, "What makes a custom unit a custom unit"? Great job, Curtis.
Maybe a few good videos on what to say when approaching a salon to do cut ins? And also a narrated video of a cut in that can be shown to people at a salon that have never done a cut in before. I realize its not rocket science - but many hair stylists get pretty spooked at the idea of cutting a system because they have zero idea. If we could send them the link to the cut in video - they may be more comfortable doing it?
I did. And I said that because I know of many people that use short term hold white bonds that have issue with it coming up in a hot shower. So yes, thats correct
Hey Curtis, you have been a great job on products and reviews. It sounds, you want to take a break from TH-cam videos as you've run out of topics. You have covered almost everything the user needs to know about hair replacement.
After trialing a hair system for about a week and a half. I don't think I'll ever wear one again. It feels unnatural on your head and that you're not being authentic or honest. It feels like you're letting trivial things dominate your life. To feel the water on your head. Etc. Honestly it's sad that men feel they have to do this.. Take it off and be free my fellow gentlemen. Be you. Honestly there's just something spooky about it.. Just find a girl who loves you for you. And be happy. Your soul will thank you
Hi and Im glad to hear about your experience. I really am. I like to hear the good and the bad, ive always went over it on my channel too. This is not for everyone, that is 100% for sure. Im glad you gave it a try and figured it out !
And product comparisons are GOOD, bro...theres always new stuff coming out as well as new viewers and if your videos stop then you will be overlooked by prospedtive customers because, quite simply, they wont know youre here....get the pic??

Best tip for people who sweat alot (it's genetic) is to cut back on coffee.
Caffeine ramps up oil production by a shit ton.
It's night and day
Every since cutting back I get alot more time with an attachment before it gets itchy/smelly
Alcohol too, but I don't think it's worth cutting life's pleasures so you can wear fake hair longer, but hey, that's just me.

Curtis if you sweat in a poly where does the sweat go? Sweat /water can’t go through the poly so does ut pool?

Hey buddy! Good to hear from you! Yeah i was going to add that into the video and totally forgot lol
create a specific email for video suggestions and add it to your videos - and promote it so that people will email in with ideas?
Good one !
Hey Curtis. I was thinking a video on each hair styling product you sell may be helpful. For someone like me I like to see how each one looks. Reading what each one does doesn't really help. Maybe take a few old systems and style each one showing what each product does and the shine of it?
Good Idea!!!!
The whole reason I cannot wear a hair system anymore is because I sweat so much and every glue I've tried just won't stick :( I was having to restick my hairline every single day befause it came unstuck and it knocked my confidence in wearing a system.
Hey. I sweat every day myself. I’m always doing something in the yard etc.
what did you use ?
Well maybe here’s a video idea for you. I know you’ve kind of touched base on this a little bit, but I could sure use a lot more detail and visual cues of the full, in-depth procedure of installation starting from a stock piece. This might be a long one so totally appreciate it if you decide to deal with this but no pressure lol.
I’m at my wit’s end with struggling how to install it perfectly. I’m new, I have no help, so it’s DIY-solo style, and installing is incredibly difficult. Cutting my stock hair to the shape of my own template doesn’t feel like it’s 100% perfect to my outline. It’s pretty close, but I feel like it’s so hard to get it perfectly sized. When I install, the hair is constantly flopping in my eyes so I can’t even see what I’m doing, all the while the hair is also flopping over the sides of the base so I can’t see where the poly-base meets my bio hair to make it perfectly flush… all the while I’m trying to not make the base or the hair stick to any tape/glue during this “alignment” phase. It’s hard when it’s so thick and curly and can’t be parted out of the way to see what I’m soing. And then when all is said and done? It overlaps a little bit. Flappity-flap-flap, it’s sticking out the back (or the sides). I’ll try to use a sharp exacto knife or thin scissors while it’s now glued onto my head, but I feel like it just leaves a rough edge that’s still noticeable by touch when sliding my hand through the sides of my hair, or even still visible a little when I try to have a somewhat disconnected fade. Can I even have a visible part between bio hair and the hair system, or should it always be blended for this reason?
And then the front hairline… I never even really know where or how the front hairline is going to sit since the back “seems” easier to start the installation with, so I always seem to glue further down the hairline than needed because under-gluing seems tougher to correct. I always end up with my hair sticking to my forehead. Attempts to then remove the excess glue and stuck-hair always seems to lift the hairline back up, wrinkling the perfectly flat hairline, since I seem to have to use alcohol very precisely to aid in this process.
I’m using a 0.03mm thin skin but Im at the point where I’m considering just shaving off all my bio hair as I try to make this look like I’m not wearing a hair system.
It might be cool to see you do another, reeeaaallly in-depth and long video of a brand new stock system transitioning to a fresh install, especially if your technique has changed in the last 2-3 years. Even if to show that it hasn’t. Seeing all the steps from start to finish with any tips you can throw out, all in one video, I think would really help.
Thanks, and happy new year!
Happy new year to you too!! And yes that is a great idea. I could see the frustration with a new one. Extra long hair flopping around etc. That makes sense for a good video, as I deal with the same frustration
As someone who is younger that follows you, I’ve learned a lot from you! Start giving us pro-tips or life hacks that you’ve learned that you can help us younger guys out with. Whether it be looks, women or just life. I feel like it would go a long way 👍
I can do that for sure !! Great Idea !!
Make some more salon cut ins, new hair styles, try a new style next cut, how to fine salons to do you cut ins, color matching your sides if need be go out and live and film activities just some suggestions
Hi! Curtis . If I cut into the front hairline and hairs to give it some shape and appearance does that mean that the front hairline can loose some hairs and gradually ruin the look at the front. Are the hairs individually seperated or are they one hair knitted through areas of the poly Thanks Aiden
Hey Aiden. Cutting of the hairline is a big no no with my products. But as they fail the hair will begin to fall out. So some cutting will be necessary. Just dont cut into the shape of it.
And it will not cause early failure. Your just cutting away the extra material anyways
Hi Curtis how long is delivery to the uk ? Cheers 👍🏼
Hey !! Normally the same as the USA. 3-5 days. We ship UPS expedited, so its not bad at all!!
@@HairExperience thanks 🙏 Also the hair used for the system is it remy hair ? Looking at the same system you wear !!! Just I’ve had systems that after a couple of washes start to tangle and Mat as they are obviously not cuticle correct! Cheers 🙂
@@ollyman36 We do not have tangle issues. With the right products used !!!! With the wrong products used anyones hair will tangle
Remy: By definition, means cuticle in the same direction. So when you Vloop construct or knot construct a unit this is physically impossible. Remy could only be used in an injected unit with the hair being basically folded and making 2.
Been following for some time. Great videos🍼Havent been able to pull the trigger for many reasons,…work, family, time, etc etc. a couple thoughts and concerns,:
Would u ever consider pop-up events in other cities, like LA? Where u could possibly help a few lucky winners hands-on, in 1 day. Lol.
Also, regarding cut-ins. Lately im always observant of other guys’ hair. When it looks too perfect, i zoom closer, and notice its a piece..sometimes a transplant etc. do u think that , possibly Not doing a cut in, could make it look more natural?. In other words, having a bit of length, like the “i havent been to the barber in 2 months” look…maybe using a headband or pomping it up with a bit a gel, and letting the hair lay off to one side un-evenly natural. (Not sure of that makes sense).
Hey Tomas, great Idea. I wish I could travel or had the time. I do all the shipping, quality control, customer service etc. Every day. So unfortunately no time for me
Not doing a cut in making it more natural ? No way. But I will say when the hair is grown out a little. Not this perfect cut, things do have a more natural appearance, but my opinion not in a good way. Ive grown my hair out many times. And you can let it ride for a while without a haircut.
@@HairExperience thanks for responding. 1 last question. I had a transplant about 14 yrs ago. I hav a scar on the back of my head. For years, had an ok head of hair. Now, im sorta back to square 1. Very thin on top. I kept my hairline tho, but its thin. Curious if its possible to keep my hairline with my own hair, and still use a piece that would start at about 2 centimeters behing my hairline. Thus, i would have a natural looking frontal hairline, plus full head of hair with the piece. Is this possible?
@@tomasalvarez6040 Hey Tomas, you can. But if its thin, its really not worth using !
If you live in LA, you can still buy his hair systems, just go to hair replacement salon the first time. I used to live in California, I would buy his system .I would go to Actual
Image " in Burbank for the services. Having roommates made it a pain to do myself. So I went to a salon
I think it woudl be interesting if you started venturing into the social experiment side of things. Maybe like approach women on the street and ask them if dating a man with a system would be a problem, or like make a dating profile with a man wearing a system. And record the interactions
I agree. But id rather do that in a town thats larger than mine. I live in a small town and its not hard to run into someone you know. When I go out of town next time, thats a good idea !!!
Happy holidays to u and your family. Merry Xmas and a happy new year. 🎊🎆🎈 keep rockin it. Keep rocking the rockstar swag and I wish u and your family well for 2022.
Thank you Andre !! You too!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, buddy! It's 49 degrees in LA so try to enjoy that 70 degree weather!
You too buddy!! And yes, im gonna take it how we can get it lol
Curtis, you are the OG of hair units and have the best TY channel out there, and not knocking the other guys. I commend you on the detail, information, honesty and overall content that you publish. I’ll even watch you if you decide to put out cooking vids. 😂 STAY AWESOME...
Thank you Tom MF Jones!! Love the name, lol. I really want to continue and I want to add things to it, away from Hair systems. I just dont want to disrupt the channel, ya know
Hey Curtis, always love your videos. I was wondering the other day what the difference is in a leave in conditioner, and a rinse out conditioner? Another topic, you've probably already covered the next topic, but things could have changed, "What makes a custom unit a custom unit"? Great job, Curtis.
Great suggestion!
Thank you! Your videos has meant so much for me and many 🎉400 videos 👏👏👏
Thank you !!
Can hair relaxer be used on a skin unit. Iwant to be able to style my hair in a loose type of look
I personally would not. But Ive never tested it. Im sure someone has.
Maybe a few good videos on what to say when approaching a salon to do cut ins? And also a narrated video of a cut in that can be shown to people at a salon that have never done a cut in before. I realize its not rocket science - but many hair stylists get pretty spooked at the idea of cutting a system because they have zero idea. If we could send them the link to the cut in video - they may be more comfortable doing it?
Good ideas !!
I appreciate your videos, very informative.
I appreciate that!
03:10 When you mentioned the shower, did you say "Not HOT water"?
Thank you!
I did. And I said that because I know of many people that use short term hold white bonds that have issue with it coming up in a hot shower. So yes, thats correct
Can you please make a video where you colour your hair yourself and how its done. Dont want to go to the salon and pay that much
Ive done a few before but will do !!!!
Hey Curtis, you have been a great job on products and reviews. It sounds, you want to take a break from TH-cam videos as you've run out of topics. You have covered almost everything the user needs to know about hair replacement.
Thank you !!. I totally agree. I feel there is nothing left to cover
After trialing a hair system for about a week and a half.
I don't think I'll ever wear one again.
It feels unnatural on your head and that you're not being authentic or honest.
It feels like you're letting trivial things dominate your life.
To feel the water on your head. Etc.
Honestly it's sad that men feel they have to do this..
Take it off and be free my fellow gentlemen.
Be you.
Honestly there's just something spooky about it..
Just find a girl who loves you for you.
And be happy.
Your soul will thank you
Hi and Im glad to hear about your experience. I really am. I like to hear the good and the bad, ive always went over it on my channel too.
This is not for everyone, that is 100% for sure. Im glad you gave it a try and figured it out !
And product comparisons are GOOD, bro...theres always new stuff coming out as well as new viewers and if your videos stop then you will be overlooked by prospedtive customers because, quite simply, they wont know youre here....get the pic??
Take it back to the streets, like the early days, riding a speed bike, talking to people in drive through windows, swimming, speedboat, etc
I like that !!
😉
