Thanks for the honest review. Definitely agree with what you've said! We do offer lighter densities too but most of my clients prefer the thick look! Good job mate! Cal.
Just did this last week with the help of a stylist and absolutely love it!! Hair looks so natural and amazing..Had a thyroid issue and lost most of my hair in my 30s. Now 48 and look 28, Wife loves it and noticed all the winks and smiles from other women.
Have to agree to disagree about not keeping the sides short. If your color is spot on then long sides works. But when the color is off or ages out, the head looks like it has two distinctive colors, top and bottom (hello Hairpiece) . However, if your barber give you a great fade the back hair would naturally be darker, as these hair have not been lightened by the Sun. So for you guys wear human hair it buys you time because an exact color match is not as big of a deal
Great video. Im a subscriber and I'm looking to start with a hair system again. Just got off the phone with Hair Direct and I liked how the consultation went. Thanks for all of your info.
Just about all of these guys take these 'systems' too far. Instead of getting a normal hairstyle like the host of this video, they all choose some fancy haircut..and it makes it look fake. A few days ago, one of these videos popped up on my youtube feed and I have become fascinated with watching them. I have noticed a trend that most of these guys are choosing hair that is almost naturally unattainable. You'd really think that they would try to be more discreet. Sure, most people wouldn't think anything of it. But anyone who knew what they were looking at would immediately know that their hair was fake. That would be humiliating to me. As society becomes more and more wussified, it seems as if more and more guys want to be pretty boys. Sorry fellas, but not everyone can be a pretty boy. Just accept it and be yourself.
Hey Jake! Thanks for the video. Just FYI, ultra thin skin unit hair doesn't have knots because it's V-looped. There are some skin systems that are flat injected, also with no knots. I wouldn't recommend flat injection since the hair style options are limited. I think that system, the 2nd segment, doesn't look as natural due to the mediocre ventilation of the hair line.
@@JakeKent No worries, man! By the way, you can also check out Heydecke and Onna, and maybe show those retailers in your future videos. They both have amazing hair lines! Also, I think just like the Latino guy in one of your segments, some ethnicities could pull off a straighter thicker hair line, but if you're white, better stick with a curved finer hair line.
Do you lace units look identical to the first great lace system showed here? I would love to see that kind of a unit with Lavivid. I'm talking about the first lace system shown in this video
Hi Jake - whats your opinion of the live shows Lordhair are currently showing ? Clever marketing and some useful content although very disappointed in their lack of units available - a global shortage of hair donars apparently !
I think every business should be a content producer first, and then service/ product provider second. They are wise to produce more content. There will always be more demand. That’s why I’m not afraid to have people who are starting up UA-cam channels on my channel. *gentle jab at some other people inside of the space* I know the people/businesses that KEEP producing content, and serve the audience will come out on top. If I so happen to be one of those individuals, Then so be it 😋❤️
I go to jentis studios here I atlanta were the alpha m video was and they do great stuff at very affordable prices! And the owner curtis is a great guy.
Hi jake Seriously looking at buying two pieces of toupees/ hair systems Is it ok that I ask you here to recommend me the best place/ company to buy the best quality product? Durability, reliable quality are important to me Thanks
I made the plunge and had a system installed. I'm having anxiety because because there appears to be visible glue at the hairline.The stylist told me the white will disappear as it dries. It has been over almost 2 hours and it still seem terribly visible. I can definitely not wear exposed hairline. Is this a problem I should be concerned with?
First video of yours I’ve come across. So I don’t know if it’s been asked. Is there a “piece” that makes a hairline piece. I’ve always had a big forehead and was considering get a transplant. But if I can find a piece that exist would be great, second if I were to get a transplant is there a place you recommend? I live outside DC.
Great vid man, I love these. So it seems like we have nearly the exact same hair color, i noticed your system is slightly lightning up and is a tad lighter than your sides and back bio hair (NOT a bad thing at all, mine is currently doing the same thing) what are your thoughts on dying the unit? I'm considering dying the system a medium brown to match more my sides and back, but I also kind of like the two toned look lol. Thoughts?
Yeah man, so my response is that my next unit going on this week I’m going to take care of the color more with a color revitalizing conditioner (specific to my natural hair color) It doesn’t bother me that the color is slightly off, to me, the unit looks “sun kissed” my hair always naturally lightening and had highlights when I had hair so it doesn’t get in my head. If you dye your unit, I’d consider going to see a coloring specialist (at least to do some R&D - rob and duplicate) color science is a deep field. It’s not as simple as dying something back to medium brown. It’s something I want to study more myself!
the technology is thé same..back in my day they called it veralex..in thé end its always swiss or french lace vs poly..for us dark haired people the knots are always an issue..the 2nd guy's system looks good but should wear bangs. I just wish I had lower density..pompadour does not look good guy needs to thin out piece and/or grow out sides even with thé irregularity of thé hairline its too thick..guy needs to wear hair down..when you have bangs you dont have to worry about thé hairline looking perfect....poly unit hairline sucks..density looks good but bangs...its just not worth thé hassle in my opinion..I gave up on thé hairline and dreams of wearing my hair up years ago..even with bleached knots they can only go so light..better off getting a blond one and dying it..all examples have too much density
Ughh I feel so lucky to be 34 and hair. Not sure if I'd do this when I'm older or not. It does look good I didn't even think you had one unl you said it. In fact your hair looks almost identical to mine
Hey, do you think it is okay for young guys (18-24) to wear a Hair System with full density? and do you think you could wear a Hair System when your sides are thinning?
Define full density. As you see in the videos, most of these men had thinning hair on the sides that was shaved off. If your hair is overall thinning, got to a lighter density
First, I love to see men not afraid to use grooming to improve their appearance. Women can use everything under the sun and no one says a word about it not looking natural, etc. Men get raked over the coals for some reason. Do what you want to do. It's your life, your hair, or your money which buys the hair.... own it. Second thing is I love your commentary. Third thing is your system looks great. Fourth thing is damn, you are very handsome =)
So then, how the heck can you find someone that knows everything that you know but gets paid to put it on. And where the heck do you get these systems anyway? Hair club is like four grand a year and other places you don’t know what you’re going to get. They all promised the world. Are you ordering yourself and then finding people to put it on? I am so new to this and confused at this point. I had a bad bad experience in Connecticut.
Basically, the place that I went which I won’t name got the density and color all wrong. The front looked like a hot mess and it was clearly a friggin wig. And they’re professionals. I paid them for it. They sent away for it and everything or whatever the hell they did. I’ll give you the name if you message me. Maybe you know of them.
dang dude, sorry to hear your experience. well, theres not a lot of folks out there, but that's why im trying to educate myself, and share the journey with everyone else
Hi Jake, I would have a very important question to ask you regarding hair systems, could I contact you on messenger or on some communications platform?
Your video Are good but on the screen we don’t need see you because we cannot see , the video of the person I think you should just do the comment without seeing you on video then we can really see better. But I like your comments and videos
Thanks for the honest review. Definitely agree with what you've said! We do offer lighter densities too but most of my clients prefer the thick look!
Good job mate!
Cal.
Thanks for sharing!!
A lighter density seems to work for me.
Plus, I agree with Jake, the thin skin was not a hit with me. Very fragile.
Your hair looks so good dude. So glad I found your channel
Hairline is looking good Jake. Very natural and believable, would have fooled me.
thanks!
Suggestion:
Make your face cam screen a bit smaller and/or perhaps make your face cam screen full size when giving commentary.
thank you for the suggestion

This is one of your best look !! It looks really natural
From your knowledge, does glue have a negative effect on the skin and pores?!
I wear a thin skin and absolutely hate the shine it gives off in certain lighting.
oof. sorry about that!
There are anti shine products
HeyJake, when ordering a hair system, what do I choose to get that slight receding look, so the front isn’t too straight.
Hey Jake! Thanks for the video. Just FYI, ultra thin skin unit hair doesn't have knots because it's V-looped. There are some skin systems that are flat injected, also with no knots. I wouldn't recommend flat injection since the hair style options are limited. I think that system, the 2nd segment, doesn't look as natural due to the mediocre ventilation of the hair line.
I spoke incorrectly. Yes thin skin has v loop or Injected. Sorry if I spoke wrong!
@@JakeKent No worries, man! By the way, you can also check out Heydecke and Onna, and maybe show those retailers in your future videos. They both have amazing hair lines! Also, I think just like the Latino guy in one of your segments, some ethnicities could pull off a straighter thicker hair line, but if you're white, better stick with a curved finer hair line.
So how do poly units end up having realistic hairlines if the bottom/root areas can't be bleached?
@@MikeL0084 When they do v-loop ventilation, there are no knots involved, and it looks like the hair is growing right out of your scalp.
You can actually knot skin... special order.
About bleaching the knots do you bleach them yourself or do you buy the system with already bleached knots ?
MG Ford is a brilliant stylist and his work is exceptional.
truly!
He's the best in the industry IMO. Love his work.
I also use tape in the front but I wear it down. Easier maintenance.
Where did you get that system from?
Do you lace units look identical to the first great lace system showed here? I would love to see that kind of a unit with Lavivid. I'm talking about the first lace system shown in this video

If I saw you somewhere and didn’t anything about you I would think this was your real hair
Any videos with Silver/Grey colored systems?
I go to jentis studios here I atlanta were the alpha m video was and they do great stuff at very affordable prices! And the owner curtis is a great guy.

has it gone away?
@@JakeKent Yeah. It did eventually. It does sometimes show when I get hot.
He can pluck the front hairline.
Can you imagine paying for the xplant, going through the hassle... and then having it not work?
Would love to see you Collab with @Baldcafe
The hair systems in the videos are amazing including your own 🤩
they are
nice information . Could you minimize your screen some so I can see what your showing.
Hey! Where can I email you, i'd like you to give me a little advice pls.
I am impressed at how knowledgeable you are dude
I appreciate that!

absolutely you can find a frontal hair piece! i can't tell you who to get a transplant from in DC though.
Jake Kent any suggestions for the piece? Brand/Company wise..

agreed
Poly doesn’t have knots. It’s injected.
Hi Jake is your system poly or lace? Where could I buy one if i'm interested? Looks very realistic even at the hairline if its lace.
poly perimeter, lace interior
@@JakeKent the best way to go, in my opinion
Doing good work thanks..
Welcome!
Ughh I feel so lucky to be 34 and hair. Not sure if I'd do this when I'm older or not. It does look good I didn't even think you had one unl you said it. In fact your hair looks almost identical to mine

Product called Shine Killer
I agree with you, no pompadour no fade and for heaven sakes no "kewpie doll" top wave.
First, I love to see men not afraid to use grooming to improve their appearance. Women can use everything under the sun and no one says a word about it not looking natural, etc. Men get raked over the coals for some reason. Do what you want to do.

Second thing is I love your commentary.
Third thing is your system looks great.
Fourth thing is damn, you are very handsome =)
MG Ford uses European hair systems. Pricey but far superior look, over Remy hair systems. Great choice if you're of European descent.
how much are mg ford's systems ? that one looks the best by far
There are no knots on ultra thin skin.
Correct, I misspoke
So then, how the heck can you find someone that knows everything that you know but gets paid to put it on. And where the heck do you get these systems anyway?

There is a Turkish company called Onna and a German company called Hydeck u should check them out and give us ur review as an expert...
I love them!
The "Peaky Blinders" hairstyle is a BOLD move with a system. I'd be too scared to try it.
Care to do a video together about hair systems?
What about?
Hair 4 all ..... in the uk
Jake... your dermal mud scalp cleaner link takes me to a dog shampoo... was this on purpose? hahaha
thanks for letting me know. ive fixed it, and heres the right link! amzn.to/2Pkuz3t

Your video Are good but on the screen we don’t need see you because we cannot see , the video of the person I think you should just do the comment without seeing you on video then we can really see better. But I like your comments and videos
Thanks for the feedback
Your hot with or without the hair 😍
I can't watch. Your screen is to big. I know you want to advertise your brand and get your face out there but please make it a little bit smaller.
thanks for the feedback shane. i've changed how i do these videos now to take up less screen space :)
@@JakeKent Nice! Ill continue to watch.👍🤛
