indeed. I just started with tape after 7 months in. I realize how bad liquid is due some of the hairs being seeped in and being tangled. It eventually breaks as I am trying to remove the glue from the poly. With tape everything is much easier and cleaner. it definitely saves me a lot of time and frustrations! again, thanks for the video!
Would it make sense to add the smallest space in between the tape strips to allow for moisture (showering with hair piece) to drain out or is that not even a factor? Curious how to keep the scalp as healthy as possible with a hair system.
Thanks for this video! Can you kindly share with us what you know about any toxic ingredients (such as toluene) of tape by whether Walker or Supertape? Any health concern?
Thanks! Can you make a video on how you place the unit? Im struggling with that part as it's very inconsistent one week I can be very satisfied with the positioning and other it's too high/low or too much left/right.
@@Superman-xr1oh honestly I can't remember. But I now have 3 years of experience and my only advice is patience. You will get a feel for it on your head, and you'll be able to feel the right placement without any marks. It will take 2-5 months to be able to reach this level.
Haha. Feel free to make a shirtless video anytime you feel like it. No complaints here. You look fantastic! :) Good advice Jake. Would love a video of you showing your method of lining up your system when you do your install.
This has been one of the best tape application videos. I am really interested in how you use adhesive on the hairline. I currently am still going for my Refugio so at the salon every 4 weeks, but doing maintenance on my own. I will be starting to do my own reinstalls with the next couple months. Thank you!
@@David-no7zi I've been wearing for 6 years and i would also say around 75-100 a month. Hair systems aren't that expensive if you order them online, and if you're gentle with them they last long
@@ChillMale22 Where do you order your systems from? I don't think I'm going to be able cope with being bald, and I've tried Propecia and couldn't cope with the sides. I'd happily pay 1200 a year to have a full head of hair again - I'm just going bald on top my sides and back are still very thick.
@@David-no7zi i personally order from Lordhair but there's a lot of good ones online. I used to be just like you debating on if i should do the hair system thing or not, i was on finasteride. But i'm extremely happy i went with hair systems it made such a difference. You get a full head of hair and it looks realistic, doesn't have to cost much either. Personally i hide the hairline (forward hairstyle) so i don't have to worry about that either, but it depends on the hairstyle you like. You're lucky your sides are thick, with thin sides it's more difficult to blend the hair system. Either way you're on the right channel, you can learn everything here, and make the decision for yourself if it's something you'd want.
I like the way you put the tape on around the unit. It's a lot faster than cutting tape to match the curves on the system. I'm going to try it. Thanks....great helpful video!
I have a V hairline and at the point where the two lines in the V connect is precisely where my hairline should be. Is it possible to run two front pieces, one for each side of the head or would that look weird especially if the hair piece density and color isn't exactly identical to my real hair. I'm dark blonde btw.
This is exactly what I needed to watch! I feel with the amount of workouts I do the liquid isn’t supporting and considered giving up…1 month in. Thanks so much!! What tape would you recommend please?
Dude, Jake, I'm sorry, but you are really frustrating me. In each of your videos you need to indicate the company/specs/and (even better) any links to a video review of each of the systems featured in your video. I notice you are using a thin skin system in this video, but I have no idea the density or the company, and also I don't know why you switched to this instead of using the hybrid systems you seem to have loved for so long. You give a lot of great advice, but the ambiguity of what is being featured in each video is frustrating as hell when trying to consider options available to us. "This system looks nice, but I have no effing idea what it is, where it came from, or if its worth considering as an option." is a thought I always have when watching your videos.

Thanks for sharing!
Surprisingly distracted, but I started using tape after seeing you do this and it has made life so much better! Thank you!
I ordered my first hair system, but Lordhair says the base is too thin to use tape on. Can I ask how thick is your base?
Regards from Claes
What tape would you recommend for hot summer and humid weather?, especially when you sweat a lot
Would it make sense to add the smallest space in between the tape strips to allow for moisture (showering with hair piece) to drain out or is that not even a factor? Curious how to keep the scalp as healthy as possible with a hair system.
If you care about that you should start with getting lace base

@Dark Dreamz will try, thanks

Hi Jake, thanks for your videos, one question, can I use tape with every types of hair replacement system or only poly or French lace?
How much spacing do you leave inbetween
Could you let me know if this is a v-loop or injected? Or where I can possibly get something like this? It would help me a lot 🙏.
injected
Hi Jake! Could you please advise the best way to remove the tape from the system when it comes to clean up? Thanks so much
A year late, and I'm not Jake - but warm (not hot) water works very well for me
do we need to remove the hair system everyday?
Can anybody tell me how long does a tube of adhesive remover last?
Why do you use poly thin skin? I tried one which only lasted 2 months before it was noticeably balding
What glue do you use on a full skin unit? Doesn't tape tear apart skin units?
ive never had tape tear a skin unit
@Dark Dreamz I think it depens on the thin skin, if you wear a .03 yes, but i find it hard to imagine a .06 or .08 tearing if you're careful with it
Are these adhesives safe?
Yes
Haha. Feel free to make a shirtless video anytime you feel like it. No complaints here. You look fantastic! :)
Good advice Jake. Would love a video of you showing your method of lining up your system when you do your install.
Can you please make a video to show how you actually install the system on your head?
yes
I thought you weren't supposed to use tape on a thin skin poly system because the removal process can cause the system base to rip.
workout and diet regiment video, WHEN!?

yeehaw! thanks man!
I was thinking that you were using lace unit. Are u using skin unit?
Jake - after wearing for some time now, do you have an estimate of how much it costs you per month on average to buy and maintain a hair system?
probably somewhere around 100/m?
@@JakeKent Awesome that's less than I was expecting. Worth every penny. (or cent in your case!)

yeah, i used to do that, and then realized in the back, it was faster to fold it back over
Such a good idea!

im not sure exactly what you mean by v hair line... as in your hair loss is progressing into male pattern baldness in later norwood stage?
@@JakeKent It's more like NW2 or 3, but a high widows peak. Think Christopher Nolan. The front is shaped like a V.
that would look weird for sure. look at Stickonhair's method for what you're talking about

What tape would you recommend please?
Any specific tape brand you recommend that can be purchased online please?
@@esbee1868 its literally in the description...
Please more videos like this
Ginger muscle définition in effect
Makes sense
I certainly enjoy your shirtless videos. Pls keep them coming
Are you taping a polyskin system?
I agree piece of mind because if someone would see something they dont understand which is 90percent of the human race they wont stop looking
Missing the shirtless content. lol 😭
Would love to hear how long the readers go between re-installs? Please comment
Lol. I'm sure the shirtless videos probably do increase the likes...

i'll try to include the who and what i'm wearing from now on. i will say, most of my units now are completely custom. but thanks for the feedback :)
Yeah forreal the glue can be a mess forreal
