As a woman with a full head of hair and no husband, I have absolutely no idea how I got here but it's fascinating nonetheless :3 and it looks so good on him.
First time here, have to say the hair piece is better than anything I ever seen to date... Of course the wearer has to have a degree of knowledge like this guy here to get the utmost best from these hair systems. But dam, I would never have known it wasn't real.
I grew up watching Golden Girls and thought that the quality of hair out there was as bad as Stan's rugs on the show lol This looks like a game changer! Started losing my hair in my early 20s and I sure would like to have some back! Video was super helpful and your attitude is infectious brother! Thanks for the info!
Rick, Rick...I am 63 and have been wearing hair since 1984. Suggestion? No need for all that glue. Just put super tape 1/4" in from edge around the horseshoe back/side. Use the glue on the front. Also, Ghost Bond goes on and comes off easier than the Walker glue. Cut your maintenance/change down by 50%. Great hold too. Just a suggestion from an old man. You look great.
As a woman with a full head of hair but still wears wigs because I’m too lazy to deal with my kinks and curls, I feel like you know more about my hair struggle than my boyfriend does and I braid his hair too! You just taught me a couple things!
Not many guys could get away with wearing what looks like a high density, thick system. BUT, it looks great on YOU because you have an image that makes the hair look totally real.
Thank you for sharing this, I am a woman with hair loss who wears wigs, and have been exploring different options for longer wear because I am also having difficulty keeping them on as long as I used to sweats and all of those things, and I came across your video while looking into it adhesive as a possibility, but I will be sharing this with my husband also because he has shown interest and hair systems as well, especially after breaking down the stigma in our household of wearing human hair wigs
I did this all by myself for the first time ever( I got it installed by a professional once and cleaned twice ) but I did the maintenance myself just now and this guy gave me motivation lol, I think I did ok and I saved myself 90 bucks! 😅lol I’m 32 and I look much more handsome with the hair system than without so I think I’ll keep it going lol
You are about the only person I've been able to find on you tube that might be able to answer my question. I'm getting a hair replacement system. It's a salt and pepper unit. My own hair on the sides and back is pure white. How well do those blend in?
Man, it certainly can blend well. The sides of my hair are darker, except around the very edge is where it is completely gray. It all depends on how the system is cut. I see people on TV all the time and have terrible looking systems and wonder why can it look better than that. But it can look better. It’s all about blending the sides of the unit and with the natural hair. There are times that I go with a very gray unit but the way I cut it and blend into the dark around the sides of my hair is still works great
I'm 54 and finally losing my hair. I could not resort to a hair piece but will be shaving really short. However man that looks really good on you sir. Do what makes you happy.
Sir your videos are amazing. Also very well explained. Love watching these. Because of you im going to take the plunge. If you could please tell me the exact model and hair color you have so i could get it thanks.
Rick uses the HD111 system, but it is recommended to color match to your own hair. There are many color options and grey percentages available, and finding the perfect match for you is key in having a natural look
I bought 4 so far. 2 of them the hair line was cut off blunt. Unfortunately they where stock pieces i had customized so there was no refund. be careful ordering. I sent them a template. be careful not to select send directly from canada if buy the custom package.
This is brillaint People loose there teeth People loose there hair as we age .this is all positive and amazing Thank u for such a brilliant video U will help manly people to learn of u this will bring happiness to life for manly people out there with hair loss This is awesome Thank u
Looks real good. I didn't start getting noticeably balder until my early 50's, so I can't complain. I'm 63 now and I don't give a shit about going bald anymore. I will be flaunting my cueball cranium, not covering it up.
Everybody has to do what's right for them; they're the ones stepping out into the world each day after all. But I look at this dude, and he's handsome, he's got style, he's got a fantastic beard, great ink, and a warm and vibrant personality. The hair looks good and natural, but if he shaved his head he'd look like a $1million in my opinion. In any case, all the power in the world to him. He's a great spokesman.
Damn, I didnt really understand the title before i clicked, i thought that was your real hair, i never considered a hair piece before, but that looks amazing and natural. Wonder if similar products are available in the UK
That’s a great compliment. I get lots of hair compliments, People who see me up close and personal never believe me when I tell them it’s “stuck” on. Lol.
My hair has been slowly thinning since my late 20’s, and it’s always frustrated me and made me a little self-conscious. I’ve looked into hair restoration with several of the biggest companies, but I both can’t afford it and am not sure that I want to risk doing something that radical. I do admit, these here look good in just looking at them on a video, but again, am I that vain to go through all of this on a regular basis. I’m also an athlete and live in Florida, so I sometimes end up taking as many as 3 showers a day. I can’t imagine sweating that much of getting in the shower that much would work with this. It would problem take up half my day just applying and reapplying. So, I just try to be happy and content with who I am. What you see is what you get. Nothing fake or artificial.
I’ve worn one before mate and if you sweat a lot it will definitely come loose. I trained jiu jitsu in it the people at my gym knew I wore it so I wasn’t worried about it coming off, but even sparring hard it never came off lol. But I would get super sweaty by the end of a class with a lot of sparring and I would go into changing rooms and I could just move it around my head just by pushing it, they stay on but the glue is not cut out for alot of sweat at all.
Shave your head, you will feel so good after. In fact after you shaved your head you might even re-visit having a haircut later with your less set of hair because you start taking your hair less serious. In any way it's a great confidence boost and a great learner that hair doesn't have to be perfect to look good. So just stop thinking about it and shave that off. Hair transplants are risky and they leave an ugly scar. If you're unlucky you keep balding after and have to shave anyway but now with a nasty scar in the back so avoid that. Of course the transplant clinic will not say this because they want your money. Good luck friend.
@@Jimbo_Gringo It also says in the description that you are not supposed to comb the hairpiece immediately after taking a shower. Sounds like a recipe for disaster for active people.
Greetings again, Rick, from a fellow HD111 system wearer! Excellent video, and brother, you're right, it does look great. This unit looks a like the hair length is a little longer than some of the others I've seen you with. My stylist and I are still experimenting with the length I prefer, and lately I've been trying it at around 2", with a similar hairstyle to yours (I'm 62 years old). I'm a college professor and I find it looks neater, and a bit more conservative (not that I am particularly), for the school year. I go a little longer for the summer, which suits the ageing hippy in me. A couple of suggestions you might consider, (I continue to learn so much from you that I hope you won't mind): 1. I find that as careful as I am that I used to get some glue on my fingers. It was a real pain to get off, so I bought a big box of latex gloves and use one pair when applying the glue and then wiping the glue bottle down with some rubbing alcohol (that's what we call isopropyl up in the Great White North of Canada). I then put on a fresh pair to apply the system, and give the finger tips a little spray of the alcohol before I install the system itself. That way I avoid having hair stick to the little bits of glue I may have had on my fingers. 2. Before I brush my hair I use one of those really wide tooth combs to put it roughly into place. Then, using the brush, I smooth it out. Everyone has their own product preference after, but I find that a dab of L'Oreal 4mat does the trick to keep it in place all day. Anyhow, keep up the great videos. I'm sure they inspire new system wearers, and as a relatively experienced wearer now I still appreciate and learn from them. David p.s. I had a bit of a hair disaster myself the other day when the system fell off the manequin head after I had glue it. A few sections went into the glue but I patiently solvented and combed it back well. I thought of your previous video and took it all in good stride.
@@stevejanowiak1982 Unfortunalty our colleges are filled with Marxists! I would never send a son or daughter of mine to a college and have them brainwashed against God and every decent conservative belief I have instilled in them. We homeschooled our children their entire childhood, and they are very conservative, decent Christian people! Homeschooling is the answer for any Christian or even just conservative person with children!
hey just wondering how often do you clean your thin skin HD111....I am using front lace system but considering switching to thin skin., though was told they only last a month. Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
@@Bk-pb8fz I remove my system every 4 days and clean it then. I use only glue around the entire perimeter and clean-up is so quick and easy it amazes me. I spray with C-22 and then use cotton makeup pads the wipe the glue off. It comes off in big glue balls. It usually takes me two passes around the system to complete the process. Then, I use some Dawn soap on the interior just to clean it off more. I wash the system and add conditioner then, let it dry a bit, and reapply. My systems easily last 12-15 weeks, though I think they could go longer.
Hello...Rick is wearing HD111 hair system (superhairpieces.com/mens-toupee-hd111-8x10-thinnest-skin-base-hairpiece-disposable/) with poly skin base of thickness of 4 mils (1 mil =1/1000 inch) V loop.
After using the Solvent, I put a small amount of baking soda over it and scrub gently with an old soft toothbrush. This step ensures that all the glue and solvent is gone. I also do the same for my scalp. It freshens everything up.
Hair for men has come such a long way. For so many years when you saw a man with a hair piece or wig it was so obvious and just plain old looked bad. Your hair really looks good. A little bothersome with all the work involved but you look great. Plus, if I saw you out in public I would never know it wasn't real.
Very great toupee. And the fact not being able to see the front border is awesome. What are the kind, length and density of hair ? If you can keep it a month before removing it, do you mean that you can then take shower without any problem ? Do you apply shampoo and conditioner every day ? As it is a poly base, this toupee is not breathable, right ? And as you scalp is oily as you say, don't you never meet any problem with sweat and bacteries for keeping it a few weeks ?
Hello @evasiondreams33762, Rick wears our super thin skin system HD111- www.superhairpieces.com/mens-toupee-hd111-8x10-thinnest-skin-base-hairpiece-disposable/ which has a density of 95%, 8x10 base size and 6" length but you would need to get it cut and styled before wearing it. The expected life span is 3-6 weeks, but quite a few of our clients reported that the unit lasts longer than that. Since it is a V-loop ventilation model, it would be best to limit to 1-2 washes per week for the unit and should not comb hair when it's wet. It is recommended to remove the unit once every 1-2 weeks to clean the scalp. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support at 1-866-814-7879 or sales@superhairpieces.com
I actually only keep it on for a week. My scalp is too oily and the front starts looking obvious. It’s so easy to install I don’t mind doing it more often. - Rick
It depends on your preference. Most people usually go for once every 1 to 2 weeks, but you can go up to a month if you want to, or remove it daily too.
Great video rick. I'm struggling massively with my hair system just now. It's a 0.08mm skin base. Was first fitted with tape. Since cleaning and re fitting myself, I'm struggling to position it properly. I'm ready for chucking it in the bin.
I use walkers ultra hold glue and I get glue strands everywhere. On my clothes, my fingers, and even my hair piece itself. How do I apply walkers ultra hold to my M104 hairpiece without getting glue strands everywhere? I sweat a lot and I workout everyday, this is why I went with Ultra Hold. Is there something just as good or better with no glue strands to deal with?
I just recently purchased a piece from a big company I won’t mention. Mine is lace and they used tape with glue around the perimeter. The problem I brought up to them is you can visibly see the front seam which prevents me from styling bangs up. Is this normal or did they sell me junk. ( btw they measured and ordered according to my skin and hair color but when it came in it was black hair and wrong so they pulled one they had there already and convinced me it was better anyway )
How much in and out is his actually getting you? It just seems like a lot of effort to keep this up every day. I have a pair of electric clippers and 5 minutes once a week.
I seen a bar fight once when one guy had the other in a headlock and his hair piece came off. I first thought he ripped his scalp off. The dude picked up his wig and ran off
Thanks for the video. I found it very useful. What is the base on your system, please? Also, will leaving the unit to soaks in C22 damage the unit if it's lace or poly?
@@groovyman94 Yes you can, however residue tends to be a little harder to remove from lace as it gets into all the holes, so it may not go as smoothly as this.
Hi Rick, At what point can you comb the hair. They say "don't comb wet". Do you towel or air dry first? It looks like you comb it damp in the video. Your hair always looks "not dried" - It looks moist (which I prefer). What type of product do you use on it, if any? AND what is your rule of thumb when it's OK to comb? Does the hair pull out if combed wet? Thanks.
Actually, I have no idea how you can avoid combing the hair when it’s wet. It would dry and you’d have to wet it again do anything with it. It never hurts the system to comb it wet. I do it every morning. I use Aveda men styling gel.
It can feel itchy at first, but as long as you don't have a reaction to the adhesive you use (always do a patch test first!) most people get used to it pretty quickly and the itching goes away. There are also products like scalp protector that can help. You can wash your hair, but it is recommended to only do it about once a week with shampoo, to be very gentle when doing it, and to only use shampoo safe for use on wigs.
Hello...Rick is using our HD111 hairpiece which ideally lasts for 4 to 6 weeks and it usually costs around USD199. We have this hairpiece in different colors and grey hair percentage. Please check out www.superhairpieces.com/mens-toupee-hd111-8x10-thinnest-skin-base-hairpiece-disposable/ to get more information.
How long they last depends on which one you choose! Rick's last about 6 weeks, but the HD111 he wears is considered disposable. There are others that can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months or more
Good video. HOw long does that piece last before you have to replace it? I also saw that someone said you are not supposed to comb it while it is wet, but that seems kinda strange.
Rick's system will last from 4-6 weeks, but it is the least durable system we offer. There are options that can last up to a year with proper care, it all depends on what a client is looking to prioritize. As for the combing, its true that you shouldn't do it when the hair system is wet! You can spray it with leave in conditioner or a bit of water, but if you brush it when you are fresh out of the shower the base of the system will have expanded a bit from the humidity, making it easier for the hair strands to be pulled out by the comb and causing hair shedding.
@@SuperhairpiecesThanks very much. I assume that the short life span is due to the thin base. If the piece costs two or three hundred dollars, that would add up to thousands fairly quickly. Maybe the prices are less though. However, If only one hundred dollars per piece, we are still lookin gat roughly 2,000 after only two years. In five years that is at least 5,000 dollars. How is this better than HT? Kudos to Rick though for making a great video. Funny and informative. Thanks
@@Charlie9165 The HD111 is $199. It is definitely an investment into yourself, that is the truth! But for many people it is worth it for the confidence they gain in the process. As for hair transplants, whether or not a hair system is better or not really depends on the individual. Many people are simply not good candidates for a hair transplant because they don't have enough donor hair left. Others don't want to deal with the pain or possible complications, or the fact that the transplants often require touchups and even then may not last as long as you expect. For other people, they simply don't want a permanent solution - they just want the option to sometimes rock hair, and sometimes rock the natural bald look! Ultimately hair transplants and hair systems are both solutions to the same problem, and are both good options, but they are different enough in methodology and results that it is good to have both exist so consumers can make the choice they think is best for them.
@@Superhairpieces I agree. There are really no good solutions at this time. Hopefully some breakthrough will come soon. Until then gluing hair on or getting HT are really just band-aids. Hair systems require constant work, maintenance and expense. Basically you are stuck for life unless you want to just live with the bald look at some point when you either just don't want to bother anymore or just run out of money.. HT is hit or miss, and, as you say can call for touchups and more. Just no good options at this time. I realize some companies pay for people to post about their hair systems, and that makes it more affordable for those posters which is great for them. I don't know if your company is doing so, but if you are, Rick is doing a great job. He is inspirational and funny and informative One of the best videos I have found. Thanks!
How on earth does Rick use Walkers Ultra hold without getting glue strands everywhere? Ive been using Ultra hold on my m104 and I get it all over my clothes, fingers and even hairpiece. Im dying here lol

Hey, aging hippie college professor…nothing wrong with being conservative!
@@stevejanowiak1982 Unfortunalty our colleges are filled with Marxists! I would never send a son or daughter of mine to a college and have them brainwashed against God and every decent conservative belief I have instilled in them. We homeschooled our children their entire childhood, and they are very conservative, decent Christian people! Homeschooling is the answer for any Christian or even just conservative person with children!
hey just wondering how often do you clean your thin skin HD111....I am using front lace system but considering switching to thin skin., though was told they only last a month. Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
@@Bk-pb8fz I remove my system every 4 days and clean it then. I use only glue around the entire perimeter and clean-up is so quick and easy it amazes me. I spray with C-22 and then use cotton makeup pads the wipe the glue off. It comes off in big glue balls. It usually takes me two passes around the system to complete the process. Then, I use some Dawn soap on the interior just to clean it off more.
I wash the system and add conditioner then, let it dry a bit, and reapply. My systems easily last 12-15 weeks, though I think they could go longer.
Please can we have another video by this customer, applying another hair piece. He's so watchable and looks good.
We have lots of videos of Rick you can check out on our channel!
It looks good.. But I think the density is a little much.. Maybe 60/80 medium light.. 👍
looks so real bud, also you look 15 years younger.💪
Thanks for that bro! 👊🏽✌🏽
Rick, what’s the thickness of the base on this unit? The unit styling and color match look great. Thanks.
Hello...Rick is wearing HD111 hair system (superhairpieces.com/mens-toupee-hd111-8x10-thinnest-skin-base-hairpiece-disposable/) with poly skin base of thickness of 4 mils (1 mil =1/1000 inch) V loop.
Hi! 0.3mm thickness. Yeah, super thin.
After using the Solvent, I put a small amount of baking soda over it and scrub gently with an old soft toothbrush. This step ensures that all the glue and solvent is gone. I also do the same for my scalp. It freshens everything up.
Do what makes you want to live your best life but you look fine without it.
Very kind…..appreciate it a lot.
This guy is dapper!.
In the movie "weekend at Bernie´s", they used a staple machine for that.
Thanks Rick your technique was very usefull for me !!!
Looks better , naturally.
Hair for men has come such a long way. For so many years when you saw a man with a hair piece or wig it was so obvious and just plain old looked bad. Your hair really looks good. A little bothersome with all the work involved but you look great. Plus, if I saw you out in public I would never know it wasn't real.
great job rick... looks so real
Great job and great attitude ❤
Very great toupee. And the fact not being able to see the front border is awesome.
What are the kind, length and density of hair ?
If you can keep it a month before removing it, do you mean that you can then take shower without any problem ? Do you apply shampoo and conditioner every day ?
As it is a poly base, this toupee is not breathable, right ? And as you scalp is oily as you say, don't you never meet any problem with sweat and bacteries for keeping it a few weeks ?
Hello @evasiondreams33762, Rick wears our super thin skin system HD111- www.superhairpieces.com/mens-toupee-hd111-8x10-thinnest-skin-base-hairpiece-disposable/ which has a density of 95%, 8x10 base size and 6" length but you would need to get it cut and styled before wearing it. The expected life span is 3-6 weeks, but quite a few of our clients reported that the unit lasts longer than that. Since it is a V-loop ventilation model, it would be best to limit to 1-2 washes per week for the unit and should not comb hair when it's wet. It is recommended to remove the unit once every 1-2 weeks to clean the scalp. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support at 1-866-814-7879 or sales@superhairpieces.com
I actually only keep it on for a week. My scalp is too oily and the front starts looking obvious. It’s so easy to install I don’t mind doing it more often. - Rick
How often do you have to take it off to have the maintenance done?
It depends on your preference. Most people usually go for once every 1 to 2 weeks, but you can go up to a month if you want to, or remove it daily too.
Great video rick. I'm struggling massively with my hair system just now. It's a 0.08mm skin base. Was first fitted with tape. Since cleaning and re fitting myself, I'm struggling to position it properly. I'm ready for chucking it in the bin.
I use walkers ultra hold glue and I get glue strands everywhere. On my clothes, my fingers, and even my hair piece itself. How do I apply walkers ultra hold to my M104 hairpiece without getting glue strands everywhere? I sweat a lot and I workout everyday, this is why I went with Ultra Hold. Is there something just as good or better with no glue strands to deal with?
any solution?
I just recently purchased a piece from a big company I won’t mention. Mine is lace and they used tape with glue around the perimeter. The problem I brought up to them is you can visibly see the front seam which prevents me from styling bangs up. Is this normal or did they sell me junk. ( btw they measured and ordered according to my skin and hair color but when it came in it was black hair and wrong so they pulled one they had there already and convinced me it was better anyway )
WOW, this is a fantastic video... That hair piece looks amazing...
Thank you! ✌️
How much in and out is his actually getting you? It just seems like a lot of effort to keep this up every day. I have a pair of electric clippers and 5 minutes once a week.
I seen a bar fight once when one guy had the other in a headlock and his hair piece came off. I first thought he ripped his scalp off. The dude picked up his wig and ran off
fabulous result!!!
Thanks for the video. I found it very useful. What is the base on your system, please? Also, will leaving the unit to soaks in C22 damage the unit if it's lace or poly?
This is a very thin poly system. Leaving the unit to soak in C-22 should not damage the base at all.
@Superhairpieces Thank you. Would this also be OK to do on a system with a mix of poly and lace?
@@groovyman94 Yes you can, however residue tends to be a little harder to remove from lace as it gets into all the holes, so it may not go as smoothly as this.
He looks fantastic with and without the hairpiece, there is a lot more to a man than its hair...
It’s wild how a hair system can remove so many years
How do you put it on yourself without the hair getting into the glue and on the scalp and your hands while making sure it’s aligned properly.
Yes! You look amazing 😮
Hey, if it makes you feel good GOD BLESS. Idk how I got here either but I had to watch. Lol
Madre mía que profecional 😍😍😍😍😍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅😃😃😃😃🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
That's alot of work and effort, I'd rather stay bold than do all that.
He applies it without hassle. Wish I can do this perfectly.
How long does this hair piece last? Can you get at least 6 months out of it?
Hello, what is life period of this thin skin units? Some of people say it is 3 month or 6 month maximum
The one Rick uses is ultra thin skin, so it lasts only 1-2 months. A regular thin skin is a bit thicker, so it looks less natural, but lasts longer
Hi Rick, At what point can you comb the hair. They say "don't comb wet". Do you towel or air dry first? It looks like you comb it damp in the video. Your hair always looks "not dried" - It looks moist (which I prefer). What type of product do you use on it, if any? AND what is your rule of thumb when it's OK to comb? Does the hair pull out if combed wet? Thanks.
Actually, I have no idea how you can avoid combing the hair when it’s wet. It would dry and you’d have to wet it again do anything with it. It never hurts the system to comb it wet. I do it every morning. I use Aveda men styling gel.
what a time to be alive
Does it ever get itchy or dry feeling? Also, can you wash it like you would your normal hair while it's attached?
It can feel itchy at first, but as long as you don't have a reaction to the adhesive you use (always do a patch test first!) most people get used to it pretty quickly and the itching goes away. There are also products like scalp protector that can help. You can wash your hair, but it is recommended to only do it about once a week with shampoo, to be very gentle when doing it, and to only use shampoo safe for use on wigs.
Wigs....you blew the cover lol
How long is the hair prosthesis cut?
Looks pretty good.
It Looks awesome man
Hello Ricky thanks I discover your channel very important to me this I need this Rick help me how can buy this
how much did this hair system cost u? and how long would this last u?
Hello...Rick is using our HD111 hairpiece which ideally lasts for 4 to 6 weeks and it usually costs around USD199. We have this hairpiece in different colors and grey hair percentage. Please check out www.superhairpieces.com/mens-toupee-hd111-8x10-thinnest-skin-base-hairpiece-disposable/ to get more information.
@@Superhairpieces 200USD for 1 month? lmao
I am thinking to get my first hairpiece. I wonder how long does it last until you dispose it. Also How many you needs to keep you going. Cheers
How long they last depends on which one you choose! Rick's last about 6 weeks, but the HD111 he wears is considered disposable. There are others that can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months or more
Awesome video. Good job.
Good video. HOw long does that piece last before you have to replace it? I also saw that someone said you are not supposed to comb it while it is wet, but that seems kinda strange.
Rick's system will last from 4-6 weeks, but it is the least durable system we offer. There are options that can last up to a year with proper care, it all depends on what a client is looking to prioritize. As for the combing, its true that you shouldn't do it when the hair system is wet! You can spray it with leave in conditioner or a bit of water, but if you brush it when you are fresh out of the shower the base of the system will have expanded a bit from the humidity, making it easier for the hair strands to be pulled out by the comb and causing hair shedding.
@@SuperhairpiecesThanks very much. I assume that the short life span is due to the thin base. If the piece costs two or three hundred dollars, that would add up to thousands fairly quickly. Maybe the prices are less though. However, If only one hundred dollars per piece, we are still lookin gat roughly 2,000 after only two years. In five years that is at least 5,000 dollars. How is this better than HT? Kudos to Rick though for making a great video. Funny and informative. Thanks
@@Charlie9165 The HD111 is $199. It is definitely an investment into yourself, that is the truth! But for many people it is worth it for the confidence they gain in the process.
As for hair transplants, whether or not a hair system is better or not really depends on the individual. Many people are simply not good candidates for a hair transplant because they don't have enough donor hair left. Others don't want to deal with the pain or possible complications, or the fact that the transplants often require touchups and even then may not last as long as you expect. For other people, they simply don't want a permanent solution - they just want the option to sometimes rock hair, and sometimes rock the natural bald look! Ultimately hair transplants and hair systems are both solutions to the same problem, and are both good options, but they are different enough in methodology and results that it is good to have both exist so consumers can make the choice they think is best for them.
@@Superhairpieces I agree. There are really no good solutions at this time. Hopefully some breakthrough will come soon. Until then gluing hair on or getting HT are really just band-aids. Hair systems require constant work, maintenance and expense. Basically you are stuck for life unless you want to just live with the bald look at some point when you either just don't want to bother anymore or just run out of money.. HT is hit or miss, and, as you say can call for touchups and more. Just no good options at this time. I realize some companies pay for people to post about their hair systems, and that makes it more affordable for those posters which is great for them. I don't know if your company is doing so, but if you are, Rick is doing a great job. He is inspirational and funny and informative One of the best videos I have found. Thanks!
Great video, very enjoyed
Thank you!
Lookin' good Rick!!
Thanks, Brother Gavin!
How on earth does Rick use Walkers Ultra hold without getting glue strands everywhere? Ive been using Ultra hold on my m104 and I get it all over my clothes, fingers and even hairpiece. Im dying here lol
You can say what you want, it does look good
Amazing how much hair or the loss of it makes a world of difference in your facial appearance
Are there long wigs that go down to waist length?
I'm confused when you're using the c22 are you directly spraying it on the hair? I heard it drys the hair out.
Hi! It actually should be sprayed on the base where has the adhesive
Wow looks good,I guess Im lucky I'm 58 but I have a huge head of hair, but he looks really good.
hahah what a great ending, love the energy
Hair makes so big difference
Look so real!
Is it true that it smells really bad after removing the toupee from the head?
