    Don't stop what you're doing, Jake. You may not quite understand how much it helps young people like me experiencing serious hair loss at a very young age, but your videos were the first hair system videos I've come across, and they might be the only thing that keeps me from feeling severely down all of the time due to my hair. Because of you I very well might be ordering my first hair system at the age of 18, and taking the leap of faith sooner rather than later.
    Because of that, I wanted to say thank you. You, Jake, may have saved me from many years of being miserable and discontent with myself.
    Never stop man, you deserve nothing less than to be as happy as you can be.

    Being bald is more hassle than a hair system. Think about it you have to shave your head like every 2 days. Shave your head feels like self mutalation sometimes. In the winter times a bald dome is freezing.

    Props to you for finding something that makes you happy and that you can take care of yourself and not have to pay someone else to do for you. Now, I couldn't handle the hair system, I wore one for about 2 years and for me personally it was a lot of maintenance and I figured that the amount of money I'd spend on hair systems in the long run would be about the same as a hair transplant. So I did get a hair transplant and I couldn't be happier. I was scared like everyone else but it really isn't as bad as you think. Also I did not and do not take finasteride or minoxodil. Don't let doctors lie to you and say you need it after a hair transplant because you don't. It's poison to your body. But my point is do what makes you happy and don't let other influence your decision. You look great and and the end of the day it's about what makes you happy.

      Hi there, I desagree with you. If you have a hair transplant and you dont take finasteride, you'll lose your hair again, because the problem is in your scalp, so whatever you plant there will die...A hair transplant is the best solution if you don't care about take finasteride poison, but do not fool youself, If you don't want to take that poison, a hair transplant is not the way at all, es a temporary solution, because like I said, probabily you will lose your hair again :(

      @@j0sinh0 a little correction, it’s the follicles that are sensitive to dht and not the scalp. So if most of the hair on his top is transplanted hair then he wouldn’t need to use finasteride or minioxidil. But i agree his natural hair would fall as those follicles are dht resistant. Goal of finasteride is to stop the your natural hair from falling.

      @@j0sinh0 Completely incorrect. This is something some people don't understand or are deliberately not telling it correct. The problem is not in the scalp, but in the hair itself which is influenced by DHT. The hair on the back of your head (and in some ares on the sides) is resistant to DHT, so when that hair is transplanted, that hair will not fall out and will remain there for the rest of your life. The reason for taking finasteride or other drugs is to prevent your NATIVE hair to continue falling out. Otherwise it would look strange if you have patches of transplanted hair which remains in tact, and bald spots surrounding it. Without finasteride or other drugs, some people might need several hair transplants to compensate for the continued hair loss.

    I always had the best hair. I lost most of my hair diffusely in less than 2 years but the front is mostly affected due to autoimmune disease scarring alopecia lichen planopilaris. Lost my leg hair also and I’m fighting to keep my eyebrows now. I’m on so many harsh medications(immunosupprassant, systemic steriods,accutan,steriods injections, topical steriods). My quality of life went down the drain. I don’t recognise myself anymore in the mirror. Are there partial hair systems that can be added/attached to existing remaining hair? my top is thin but not too thin for a full hair system. The mental damage is huge from this disease. I hope you’ll see this🙏🏻 Thank you! btw this hair system looks great on you

    Hey jake!! Been watching your videos since some time now. I needed some advice from you. I am having hair loss but the situation is not really bad of now. It's like when my hair get wet then a little bit of scalp is visible. Now some of my friends asked me not to shave my head as they are certain of the fact that if a person is suffering from hair loss shaving will cause some of the hair not to regrow back, as they have seen that in some of their friends. So they asked me to trim them down with trimmer at setting 1. I did that. My ques now is should i trim down my hair every 5-6 days with a trimmer at setting 1? Is it safe? I'm sure you'll understand my dilemma and reply asap. Keep making the good content bro. Your videos are really informative. TIA.

    We are all on our own journeys but in many respects we all go though the same stages until we decide on getting the hair system. It is the cheapest, least painful, and the quickest way To never care about hair loss again.I couldnt imagine life without it 15 years later. I wish I had decided on one at 22-23 rather than 24. started losing at 16-17..I...did rogaine for years.. I regrew a third of my hair using minoxidil mixed with retin A burned the hell out of my scalp-wasnt satisified wanted the bleached beach boy look spiked (that was the style back then) and passed out with the bleach on my scalp it looked like a scraped knee and lost everything I regrew from minoxidil/retin A...micropigmentation wasnt around back then..tried shaving head..it.accentuates balding..minoxidil also mainly helps maintain unless mixed with retin A..With minoxidil itself even combined with finasteride or avodart, maintenance is the goal, but you will never grow your hairline back to be worth it..youll grow more ear hair from dripping and hair on the crown .I had a boytoy with a terrible transplant..he used eye shadow and mascara To hide the scars..finally got him To get a hairpiece years later when I was still using Alfieri in Ft Laud on Commercial(would still use them) transplant is the worst unless scalp réduction and you need to stay on finasteride and use toppik even after thé best opérations...denied entry To Turkey..never had that experience..what a pain in the ass...i am assuming you needed a visa and didnt have it..Im sorry

    Hey man, thanks for convincing me that this is a waste of money and time. I started balding at 18 and after trying every natural and chemical treatment I could find, by 22 I lost pretty much 90% of my hair. But also by that time I got used to basically being a skinhead. I adopted a style to go with it and that was that.
    Now I'm 30 and recently I found out how natural these hair systems look(The Americans TV show, it's pretty good) honestly I never bothered looking into them before. And for a while I entertained the idea of trying one of these out. But after watching a few of your videos, I came to the conclusion that shaving my shiny bald head with a clipper every other day is much cheaper and less time consuming.
    This is just my opinion, but you're a handsome dude and if you would let your beard grow 1-2 inches longer and shaved your head, you'd look badass and you'd be just as handsome, if not more handsome since it would be the real, natural you. The beard isn't absolutely necessary, but being bald it gives you that manly lumberjack look.
    Please don't misunderstand, I'm not judging you or men who choose to wear these, I'm a bald cunt myself who briefly considered buying one and I've been through all of those negative emotions and everything else that comes with going bald, obsessively studying the hairlines of random men on the street, temporarily losing my confidence and so on, so I understand.
    Anyway good luck to you man, I hope one day you'll make your peace with your scalp.

He has a point but there are also lots of bald dudes who simply are disgusted with the way they look bald and have tried being bald for a long time but still hate it and hair system is the best option if done correctly imo unless you have very thick bio hair and just need minimal amounts of grafts then I can see a hair transplant being the best option IF you can or be willing to take finasteride for the rest of your life. So in the end hair system is probably the best overall choice but unfortunately society and it's stigma isn't ready to accept that for the male population.

      Our hair has no other function other than to make us look aesthetic, we can't even feel hair there's no nerves. It's just dead skin cells, we might as well wear someone else's dead skin cells if it adds to our aesthetic, it's completely rational

      Well his hair system is fine but he might need to adjust his hairstyle to suit his age. But hey who cares, at the end if he likes it.
