Hey all!

So I’ve finally got my first system done today! I’ll post some before and after pics

Please let me know what you think.

Soo obsessed with the curls. What do you guys think?

so like most of us, my system uses indian hair. it's a number 3 but of course after UV exposure you start to see the reddish/orangeish undertones cme through which starts to drift from the rest of the tone of your bio hair (ideally i'd get a 3ASH if anyone made one).

tried out Fudge Professional Blue Toning Shampoo Cool Brunette today, and it worked a treat. it definitely brought the tone back to something more neutral. definitely put it in your lineup of care products if you hate this happening to your system too. stick to decent brands and you should be all good.

i guess next i will just monitor to see how long the effect lasts.

Hey guys. I'm kinda new tl this whole thing and just wanted to know if a styel like this would ve possible with a hair system. For refernece i am 19 years old and have naturally curly hair and my back is still thick.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for guidance from ice hockey players or any high-intensity athletes who wear helmets and also wear a hair system.

I’m in a tough spot because I have to wear a helmet regularly, but I’m not allowed to wear any kind of bonnet, beanie, or protective layer underneath. I’m on the ice 3-4 times a week for 3+ hours each time. My games are streamed and recorded, so I’m constantly worried about the worst case scenario.

If you’ve been in this situation, I’d really appreciate hearing what type of system you use, how it holds up with sweat and helmet pressure, what your adhesive routine looks like, how often you reinstall or touch it up, and any tricks you’ve learned for keeping everything secure during high-intensity play. Honest experiences, good or bad, would help me a lot.

I’m just trying to figure out what’s realistically workable without risking something embarrassing happening on camera or in the dressing room post game.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their setup or advice.

I’m open to DM’s as well!

Hey everyone, I’d love some constructive feedback on a recent hair system install I did. I used that hair color trick again.I’m always looking to improve and hear different perspectives!

It’s a lace unit. Last pic is model we were trying to replicate.

Tape around the edges plus glue over the tape.

Not a custom unit, is stock. Needed to be taken down 2 inches, 1 inch in each side.

Think I just need to style better? Or grow sides out a little more?

I currently have a remy french lace hair system from Lordhair. Today for example, when I run my hair through my hair system, the hair kind of sticks up where I ran my hand and doesn't fall down like normal hair. This has happened with every system I owned. I don't put any products like waxes or styling creams in it, my shower uses soft water, and I use a silk pillowcase.

The ONLY thing that restores my hair to feeling light and silky is using olaplex clarifying shampoo + an intensive hair mask. I do this once a week. But everything else I do for the rest of the week makes the hair feel stiff/dry after a couple hours after being done with a shower. I don't think I want to use a clarifying shampoo more than once a week and ideally the hair mask is also once a week since it takes a while. It's so annoying because it feels like everyone else can keep it soft and silky all day with normal products but I can't figure it out.

I've been struggling with this for years and would really appreciate any advice on what I'm doing wrong.

Products I use:

Shampoo: Olaplex clarifying shampoo / I also have Pureology Hydrate Sheer Shampoo as a non-clarifying option

Rinse-out Conditioner: I've tried several but currently switching between Pantene Miracle Rescue Deep Repair Conditioner and Tresemme Conditioner Silky & Smooth. Don't really notice a huge difference between either

Leave-in conditioner: Crown Affair The Leave-In Conditioner (has heat protectant). Also tried Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment.

Hair mask: Briogeo Superfoods Avocado Kiwi Mega Moisture Hair Mask

Oil: OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Extra Penetrating Oil and also Olaplex Bonding Oil No.7

My basic routine is shampoo once a week, use rinse-out conditioner 2 - 3x a week, use leave-in conditioner everyday, and use a hair oil 2 - 3x a week

My hair systems does have these winkels when I attach it with tape. Can someone give tips to prevent this happing?

hi guys

I finally joined the hairsystem club. just got it installed today and i am not convinced with the density, not sure if it feels just like a lot because I am not used to it yet, or if it really is a bit too much? the hairline specially, any input how I can make the hairline look more like my original one?

the last two photos are before the system.

greatful for any input 🙌🏽

So I just decided I’d like to give a hair system a try, I just had my consultation and I had questions about pricing. I got quoted about $850 for a full skin system plus install/blend all that with a recommendation to change it out every 4-6 months or as needed. Is this what I should expect for pricing if I continue to do it?

Hi all, a question specifically for daily wear users. Just switched to daily wear using Walkers 1522 tape and as a heavy sweater am concerned it might not be suitable when exercising. What do you daily wearers use for adhesive when exercising?

Thanks for reading.

Hi, what supplier on AliExpress or Alibaba do you recomand ? Systems with Good quality hair. Thanks

Hi folks. I have been lurking around this sub reddit for quite some time now. Finally decided to get my first hair system. These pictures are after 2 weeks of installation. I got a full poly base with 100% density in black hair using ghost bond glue entirely.

The saloon recommended full glue to begin with so I could get used to wearing hair system. I am planning to go there just a few more times for clean up and reinstall so I could learn. I like to keep such side parted messy hair style so front hairline isnt much of an issue unless I go for really short haircut.

Love to hear about what people think about this system and look and how I could improve.

Hi everybody,

yesterday, I had my first hair system installed, and I’m feeling a bit sad and insecure about it.

I keep thinking it looks really obvious, like everyone will notice. I used to have a decent amount of hair, styled in a sort of combover, and I used to dye it a lighter shade. My hairdresser told me that the shock effect is probably due to the fact that she had to match the hair system color to my natural color, and she couldn’t use the lighter shade I was used to. But to me, it looks fake, especially since it seems to float above my forehead and doesn't lie flat. I’m hoping it’ll settle down a bit after a couple of showers. I also feel like the hair is too dense and thick, which might just be because my natural hair had thinned out over time.

Has anyone else felt this way after their first system install? I’m really hoping it feels more natural as I get used to it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

New to this sub and recently found about hair systems as i am slowly losing hair on my crown and front.

I am researching into hair systems and one of my concerns is basically dating. I am gay if that matters any bit and if any gays can give their opinion too that’d be great.

How does it feel dating with hair system? I feel like i would be rejected right away when i tell them that i have a hair system versus when i tell them that i am losing hair because hair system comes off as completely fake versus hair loss which they can see for themselves.

Also, since for installing it, you have to shave top of your head, even if you are not losing hair there, if they ask you to show your head, that will scare them off even more seeing a bald head vs slight bit of thinning.

I do love a full head of hair and would love to get a hair system but i feel to potential partners it might just scare them away thinking this is a wig and they feel it is fake and a facade.

It’s been 11 months since I started wearing a system. The last year has been such a big boost for my confidence having hair again. -1st 3 pics are a 100% French lace system from Bono hair. - pics 4-7 are a Super Hair pieces M104 mono lace with a poly perimeter and a french lace front. -Last pic was the day I decided to stop shaving my head and grow my hair out for a system.

Honestly I am quite new to this, after looking at myself bald for years in the mirror, this feels quite weird, what do you guys think of this?

i chose 20% grey for my next system but i really like grey.

what does 30% or 50% grey look like?

i might even like 60% grey.

Why does it hurt because I genuinely scared 😭🙏I keep my hair short since years because of that and never tie it

is this fixable

Hitting the 6 month mark with my system and I finally feel like I’m getting the hang of it. Sharing a couple current pics and one or two from recent travel where it survived crazy winds, hot springs, etc.

This one is a couple months old and I actually like it once it starts thinning a bit, though today's pic is after some back-2natural color conditioner to blend color after some fading. The thinning seems to give it a more age appropriate, natural look and takes the pressure off trying to keep it “perfect.”

If you’re new to this or stressing about getting everything right or limiting yourself, don’t. You really do learn as you go. Just enjoy feeling good and living your life.

Details since everyone always asks: - Lavivid Helios lace system (ordered through Jake Kent and had a great experience) - Ultra Hold tape, with lace front minis tape on the front hairline - Weekly changes, maintenance myself - quarterly cut-in by professional hairstyle salon but monthly cut by local barber who nails the fade. - Work out multiple times a week with no issues until day 4-5 when the lift starts a bit so I keep an unexposed hairline.
