In men, hair often begins to recede from the forehead.
Male-pattern baldness
Women tend to lose hair along the part.
Female-pattern baldness
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) is sometimes preceded by itchy or painful scalp.
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
Repeated stress on the hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia
t's becoming increasingly common for menopausal women to experience frontal fibrosing alopecia, in which the hairline moves back.
Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hair loss can appear in many different ways, depending on what's causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually and affect just your scalp or your whole body.
Signs and symptoms of hair loss may include:
Gradual thinning on top of head. This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting people as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede at the hairline on the forehead. Women typically have a broadening of the part in their hair. An increasingly common hair loss pattern in older women is a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia).
Circular or patchy bald spots. Some people lose hair in circular or patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.
Sudden loosening of hair. A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing or washing your hair or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning but is temporary.
Full-body hair loss. Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in the loss of hair all over your body. The hair usually grows back.
Patches of scaling that spread over the scalp. This is a sign of ringworm. It may be accompanied by broken hair, redness, swelling and, at times, oozing.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you are distressed by persistent hair loss in you or your child and want to pursue treatment. For women who are experiencing a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia), talk with your doctor about early treatment to avoid significant permanent baldness.
Also talk to your doctor if you notice sudden or patchy hair loss or more than usual hair loss when combing or washing your or your child's hair. Sudden hair loss can signal an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.
People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually isn't noticeable because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair that has fallen out. - Jak na to + styl
Outstanding video! This is my new favorite HL channel. I’ve been rocking a unit for 2 years now. The emotional component is, by far, the most important one, when you start off. It truly is a yo-yo of feelings. One day, I’d be like “I look amazing”....then “I can’t believe I have a man weave”...
however, once I acclimated to this new life, I found myself super appreciative that I chose this path, with only the occasional “ughh” day.
Some words of advice to those looking to start this journey:
1. Rock a non-exposed hairline. Far less maintenance. Once you feel confident, then switch (if you want)
2. Tape is way easier to clean than liquid adhesive
3. Filling in thinning temple points (With like an Eyeliner) makes the unit look even more believable.
Today I finally decided to look at my balding stage, I took a pic of the top of my head and I look like a 60 years old man , if I let my moustaches grow I will look like a granda, 100%. It's time to rock a unit !
Inspiring video. I’ve followed your channel for about 3 months now. You fully prepared me to get a hair system. Despite the fact I’ve had mine for two weeks, I’ve already done my own clean up and re-apply on my own. It did take me 2 hours and there was a panic but I now know I can deal with my system on my own and feel so much better for it. Keep up this channel bro it’s truly benefiting people with hair systems and people who are looking to get one
I can't wait for my first system next Saturday, bit expensive, but worth it, if I can feel like myself again. Feels good looking at hairstyles I would like. Feel so happy and yet scared. Maybe I can bulk up, go to the gym.... it's the beginning of a new adventure. Thanks for the great content.
Go you buddy hope all goes well for you- you wint regret it
It will be life changing dude. It’s 100% positive. I’m coming up to a year in July and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done apart from giving up booze 3 years ago!
2011buddylee wow that’s phenomenal dude!
this whole thread makes my heart happy because ya'll are supporting each other. @knite, DO IT BRO! and lets have an interview when you get it!!
@@JakeKent Definitely. I can't wait!!!!
Life changing video! Thanks again Jake, this is now my go to place. Keep up the good work and more power to your legacy! Just had my new hair system, and feeling like everything you said here is spot on! I look forward to more support through your vids!
Thank you, thank you so much Jake, cant tell you how much I appreciate your videos and sharing, fan from Hong Kong, cheers
Love this channel, it's given me a lot of hope and validation. Thanks Jake!
I agree this channel is just what we need. Jake is amazing bringing interviews, demonstrations, etc. we are absolutely blessed by his ideas. I can see a big difference in between this channel and the other channels
Pete
Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that!!
thanks so much for this video, Jake. I am really scared to do this but I think I'm ready.
Just got my hair system today and I'm more than a little nervous about what people will think, have second thoughts about etc- your video has brought me some peace of mind so thanks bro
This is gold! Thanks 💥💥✨👍
Thank you for posting such an informative and motivational video. I just bought my first hair system 3 days ago and just as you said, the next day regretted it and went back to the salon to have it removed. the salon was very supportive and encouraged me to keep it for at least 3-4 weeks before I made my decision.
Hey Jake, thanks for the info man.You helped me a lot to take the decision and do it!!
that's awesome. we gotta have a interview when you get the system!
Ive been wearing hair since I was 24...15 years later still going strong
.its not complicated its understanding that every piece has its limitations...when you get a new one its learning how to manage it...some are more difficult to style than others...I had balls...one day in 2004 I had thé shaved bleached eminem look...and the following Monday I walked in with longer darker hair than I had thé last Friday...fuck what others think
loving the mindset.
I haven’t gotten a hair system yet but thank you your videos are really boosting me to get on honestly now I’m just watching and trying to gain knowledge before I get one
Ur amazing my guy, appreciate ur wisdom:)
I remember you hearing talking about this existential stuff before i had my hair system and i thiught it's a little" boohoo" but to be honest hearing it again after having a hair system is literally what im going through. There are moments where all o want is to get out of house talk with people meet new ones and so on and there are moments when i feel like somebody can notice it and afraid to leave house feel like a fugazzi like this hair system is all that matters about me. I changed myself completely anyways im much more.open to people and their life choices now. I dont judge others as much. There are times where i feel so good about myself i want to wear a t-shirt that says im a hair system wearer and other times i feel it's all over for me because i lie to myself. That being said it's only getting better and more stable. I remember after my second reattachment i felt like i was coming back to my normal self. Its even hard to explain. Before i always looked in the mirror i always felt that there is something on my head thay doesnt belong to me but in this moment i just stopped feeling i wear anything. Sometimes i have to touch it to make sure it's there is it makes any sense. It became so natural for me and the look of it too. I remember my first reattachment truing to put on tape and finding the right spot for the hair system. It was a nightmare i was in horrible state j couldn't leave a bathroom for three hours and planned to shave it all because i thought there is no way i can finish it myself. So many hairs got lost to the fight with a tape. But somehow i got through it only to realize two days later that i didnt put system symmetrical. Nobody noticed not even me. Only way i noticed it was sliding my fingers through my scalp and noticing that right temple starts much higher than the left one. It's really hard to mess it up to the point of no return. Second reattachment was much much quicker arleady. It only gets easier and more stable.
I love your channel!! It’s definitely helped me out a lot. Out of curiosity, what made you opt for a hair system versus a transplant?
Thanks for the vid Jake...I wear one too...bout 18 months or so..at the end of the day I always say I look far far better with than without but I get the reservations thing..biggest for me when I first had it was being seen with hair rather than the thinning look before...I just wanted people to say hey you look great with that..get a decent unit because the cheap n nasty ones look awful and people notice..it's about confidence and I have it now..
You keep impressing me, and the more I get to know you, the more I like you. :)
Your advice is awesome and I love how honest you are. I also love that you don’t compete with other CZcams guys but instead, you speak highly of them. You’re helping build an amazing community and I’m so glad we’re in this together.
aww. you're the best!
Hey！I'm from China and I wear hair system as well~ I'm also a youtuber，in your video I also saw a lot in common and learned a lot！ Thank you and keep going！
nice man! want to do an interview on the channel?
@@JakeKent enmmm....But my English is not good 😂 😂 lol
Honestly I wish I watch your videos before committing to hair club I’m planing to get all I can from them to be self sufficient like you.
This video is by far the most inspiring of all hair system videos. I have been watching youtube for all sorts of information for the past one month and sometimes I would have a second doubt of me would really doing this. That is why I have been procracinating lol But man, it is very well said of the points you mentioned! I need to save this video and remember that why I choose this and why I need to keep going! for myself!! I just made a purpose today, so~~ wish me luck XD PEACE~!!
I just want to let you know that your journey has been a great inspiration to me. I started wearing a system for about 2 weeks now and I totally agree when you said that we made this choice for ourselves. I want to be the best person I would have ever known and starting this journey is a huge part of it.
i'm so happy for you, and honored. we should do a interview. jake@dillymedia.com. email me :)
@@JakeKentSure! I will send you an email once I'm ready to take an interview.
I RELLY like this system you are wearing this time. Looks so natural.
Im going back and forth on whether to go through with getting a system , but fear is winning right now. Taking action is what i need to do! Im a scaredy cat today.
Thanks for all your videos. They are very helpful!!!!
Jake, Everything EVERYTHING you said in this vid is a clear, powerful guide regarding taking RESPONSIBILITY for fulfillment & purpose. I’m not pumping sunshine up your butt, I am thanking you for your own inspiring journey & perseverance-generous with your experience. This whole deal (hair systems) has become a metaphor for initiating change & embracing flux. You rock, my man PLUS you look amazing. Thank you.
Wow thank you for this video help me out so much. I get my hairsystem in a week and you pushed me so hard to keep going an do this. And also expect that there are issus.
boom! i hope you'd be willing to do a zoom interview for tha channel after! jake@dillymedia.com, email me! and record your transformation at the salon!
so good to listen to someone talking about the psychological aspect of this journey , well done!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this channel. As someone who’s thinking about doing this soon, it gives me hope. You look really good with and without hair, But your hair system just makes you look younger.
You can do it! thanks greg!
From my research the one thing I like about a hair system is no stress on things not working in terms of HT failure or they mess up placing the follicles on the head and cause bumps. Still trying to learn this and I am doing treatments right now to see if I am a good responder to micro needling. Seen some amazing results from it, but I am keeping it real in terms of my gains. One year of treatments and learn where to step next.
Update?
This is great information, I am currently under a learning curve, I have a french lace and have ghost bond in the front and tape in the back, the problem is I installed it in a hot environment with no ac , once we started the install I began sweating profusely, and then when I washed my hair for the first time the water was hot, I believe these 2 events causes the glue from the tape bleed through and my hair around the tape beame sticky , , I will remove it tomorrow witch will be 1 week , and wash the glue out and scrub my head, and reinstall under the fan or in a different ac room, I will not use hot water again, its all a learning curve, next time it will be better., and I orderd walker tape vrs the no name tape I currently have.
Amazing video, create content. Any advice on trying to find a good stylist? It's hard trying to find that coach that'll be in your corner.
I've made videos on this topic!
First thanks Jake for all of the effort it takes to put this together weekly and for the willingness to try and help others. As I sit here and read some of these comments I think that some either just don't understand the work and dedication it takes to this every week. What it's like to open up to anyone on a subject that maybe your most valuable issue. It doesn't take a real man to type in insults and take shots on a keyboard. It just takes immaturity. If you don't have or don't need/want a hair system then either enjoy the other content or move on! This mu option Jake so feel free to delete it if I'm out of line brother. Once again thanks for your hard work and great content. Just a bald guy!
I am trying to encouraging the whole community to be more supportive brother. I'm trying to grow leaders!
@@JakeKent brother you're doing a great job! Just watched you and your buddy Josh (sorry if I got his name wrong). It just burns me to read negative comments.
Looks great Jake!!! Holy shit...
thanks bro!
Bruh... thx 🙏 for making this video. I got mine two weeks ago. Wow man. What a roller coaster. I’m use to hiking literally 3-4 hours a day. (I’m a marines combat veteran)
I just experience having the bond fail on me cuz I sweat a lot. 😝
I was almost ready to shave my head today. Glad I didn’t let the anxiety get the best of me. 😂
Later. ✌️
great videos, my main concern after cost of these systems, is that once you start, you cant really stop. because then when you take it off you;ll have a bald crown. Jake, how does it feel when you work out? I saw other videos where they say the sweat etc is locked in so when u change the system your head smells bad? And then there's the cost, these systems don't last very long by what i've seen, over 10yrs I estimated it will cost me 30k, thats mindboggling... I don't think I can do that
Awesome video Jake! I've been wearing for 6 months now and this really resonates with me. Yours is looking great btw 👌
Great to hear! thanks for the comment brother!
What system are you using in this video? It looks great!
Really, really good video and great information....and it's all very true. You have a natural way about you that comes across in a sincere, professional, and concerned manner. My journey over the last year and a half has unfolded almost exactly as you explained. There are highs and lows, that's life. It is so worth it though. Thanks again and I'd be remiss if I didn't say that you look awesome!
I appreciate that! that makes me so happy to hear!
Yip - good to have the Dean Whichester look on bro!
Great video
i just looked up who that is! thank you for the awesome compliment!
Hey Jake, I just order a hair unit after watching your video. Didn’t know they have a referral program till i got an email from you after I place that order. Otherwise, I would’ve mentioned your name as a referrer so you can get credit (you deserved it). Please, lmk if it’s not to late to do that,..this is the first time I’m gonna use system like this…what do I need to know, any of your video that I can watch to help me maintain this hair system? Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for making this video
What a fab video! You have naiied so much in this video!
Oh thank you!
Looking good my man - non beard is a good for ya :) The hair still seems to be a bit thick and high sitting - what's your thoughts on this? Maybe its me
it could probably be a little lighter... i'll experiment more in the future with densities. however, it's going to look better as my sides grow out, so i'm not worried
Thank you
Its my opinion that the length of time that anyone spends worrying about their hairloss, prior to getting a system, directly corresponds to (and influences) the time it takes to adjust to suddenly having hair again. When you focus so much on something, you lose perspective. This isn't the greatest basis to then make the decisions and employ the necessary coping mechanisms, to start wearing.
Losing your hair often leads to you looking out for and analysing other people's hair. Its easy to get hair envy when you see guys with great floppy manes.
But, you also see people with a lot less hair and say to yourself "I'd even settle for that".
TAKE NOTE! Its those people you should try and emulate with your first system.
You'll get more natural results and it will help you ease better into the transition process.
Totally agree
the mind creates neurological highways that make certain thought patterns to happen more often. the deeper we dig those pathways, the harder it is to break out of those, and form new ones. but we can do it!
Hey, could you make a video on how long it takes you to apply the tape and how you apply it?
absolutely. will do!
I’ve had a bad smp treatment after years of wearing a hair system and want to go back to a system. Shaved look with smp still gave me the feeling of being bald. I’m 60 and would like to see les dense styles for us older guys
i have an interview on my channel with a gentleman in his 60's i believe!
So, how are you going with the cross fit and sweating? that's my biggest concern with getting one.
Going great man! Rocking out, sweating my face off, and looking great !
Liked the Scientist, the Professor, at the beginning
Ur hair at the sides near the eyebrows is really strong. Is that a transplant? It makes a massive difference it the naturalness of a hairpiece.
how did you cut your hair system like that. it looks great!
Total secret co in Miami!
How long after you shaved your head did you have to wait to wear the system again
0 to hero till it rains ,till it’s windy , till bugs start crawling on your scalp and glue penetrates to your brain
Hi you still using the same unit since u started?
What glue are you using again? Thank you for the awesome videos man!👍
2011buddylee is correct.
How much on average you spend on your hair system? I really want to do it
Preach it Jake !
woop!
worst thing about my hairsystem is the dirty hairline every 4 days, and the lifting in front. everything else is a walk in the park for my, i also got a stylist.
Also i am always uncertain about what i can do with it. do i dare sit by a bonfire? do i dare go on vacation for 14 days swimming, do i dare drive a convirtable, what if i get a head injury infront of everyone :D and loads more.
Looking great
I hope you are happy
thanks multidringus!!!
Hi would like to do this system ... but still have doubts it’s have any pain?? How many days I can keep this please reply ,,, pls
No pain. Systems last typically 2-4 months depending on how you take care of them
Jake Kent thanks can u tell me about price
What type of unit are you wearing in this video?
hybrid unit 100% density
Anybody thats here for guidance and help, please note that you will learn more from people (like Jake) talking about the mistakes they've made, than you will from so called 'professionals'. The same applies to the mistakes you may make in the future, so don't fear getting some things wrong. It can be the quickest and most effective way to learn.
this comment makes me so happy.
You didn’t explain what the massive education is. To not yank it off and how to use shampoo?
Exactly people need to mind their own business only in usof nay
Were you imitating me............hehehehehehehehehe...........I hope you know I am harmless but I am a smartA@@!!!
But it won't cost as much as a transplant.hey one day I have hair another none what fun
I think short back and sides never works with hair system
its much tougher, yes.
Or............you might have confidence......strutting around thinking your hot s........and some a hole of a friend.......or acquaintance makes smars t remark.........and whowwwwwww...............your security.............your confidence............your dreams........all of that energy you have exerted are blown to schmidddereeens........did i spell that right?..........some of us.........hot stuff guys like you......like me........do not care.......but I constantly would have clients that had these episodes...........and you had to pick em up.........dust them off........and help them find their way again...................moneygrubbers.........I also hope by now you have noticed............I was and am not one of them.............I always say...........and as i listen you are just saying it...........a coach........a mentor............and above all else.......good faux hair providers........empower their clients.........and from my perspective at the end of the day................and I repeat this over and over.............in my clinics ......the hair was the product........the icing on the cake......the rest of nurturing..........and counselling.............this was a mind over hair matter..............this was more counselling than anything on many different levels.....................rant over lol
First!
I’d much rather have a natural looking hair system than an unnatural looking hair transplant. At least with the piece that naturalness is in your hands. Getting a natural transplant is just luck.
New subscriber here dude! Was wondering if I can email you?
