Mad respect, man. For real, you’re talking about something that a lot of guys are scared to even mention to their closest people. Thank you for talking about your journey. 🙏
I started losing my hair when I was 16. I now have the "grandpa" look if I don't shave my head 20 years later. It was tougher to deal with in my 20s, I've owned it since though and seem to pull off the bald look. Everyone's journey is different but male pattern baldness is definitely difficult to deal with. Kudos to Drew for living his best life and going for it
I absolutely LOVE this. You do rock the shaved head look according to your profile pic. It’s nice to be supportive of different things because we are all different and some people suit it very well and some people just feel much more comfortable with hair.
I know how you feel .. I started losing mine at the same age I’m 41 now
I feel this journey, brother! It's life changing. Looks really good already and will only get better as you fine tune it!
I haven't watched very regularly lately but so happy for you! I know some men are comfortable being bald and some really feel like their hair is such a big part of themselves so it's amazing that you guys have this option of having a hair system, it looks great!
You’re amazing dude, an inspiration for many guys going through the same thing. Thank you for being open and talking about your journey. Hair loss can really destroy your self-esteem and confidence
You’re a natural. You should be an inspirational speaker.
I've seen your posts r/hairtransplants. Was slightly jealous of that crisp hairline :D Would've loved to see the one year result but if you didnt like it, all power to you. Keep us updated with your hair system experience. Good luck and take care.
The gay bar story is so funny! I wouldn’t have cared because your vibe, style, and face is 💯!
Hi Drew, wow your journey was crazy, glad you found what worked best for you in the end, welcome to the world of wearing a hair system. I've been wearing a hair system for 3 years now and it has been so worth it. Hope the rest of your journey goes well and enjoy.
Dude your hair was good after transplant. Like the fact you got some thickness and fullness man anyone losing their hair would kill for that
Oh wow... I'm in Dallas too... And it's really hard to find someone around here doing these systems!
Anyways, great video man... Fascinating to hear about your hair journey thus far...
I've been going back and forth on this decision for a while now, and your take and good vibe make me feel a lot better about taking the dive
The only thing that bothers me is that I have seen that WebMd says that no matter what you hear, you cannot go for weeks without all of the cleaning and reapplying. I think Drew mentioned he can wear it for weeks, so Im interested if he still feels the same as time goes on. If you have some receding and decide to do this, just remember, that is pretty much a thing you will be dealing with all the time. Good luck with whatever you choose.
Getting vibes that this video is gonna blow up… hope more and more guys see this as a viable solution. And love your energy bro!
When you look good you feel good. Love your confidence dude.
Love your positivity bro
Drew you are always so inspirational. I’m so happy to know you and watch you change into a better you. Keep being you you are beautiful 🖤
Thank you so much for this video, I’m been on the edge for so long this was super inspiring. Keep spreading the love !
Love your energy bro!! Keep livin that life you want!
Nice to see how happy and upbeat you are. Good for you!
Amazing video man. I love the energy and enthusiasm.
You look fantastic. I have a system ordered and am waiting for it to get in and installed. Been following Jake Kent for a few years now, and I finally decided it was time to do it. I’m stupid excited, and can’t wait.
This literally made me bawl-- I've been losing my hair since before I turned 20 and I full on have the shaved grandpa look! Even when I keep it grown out its so goddamn whispy! I am super inspired by you and your journey and am so proud of you for doing what is most comfortable and right for you! I am 27 now and I think I finally will take these steps, no more shamming and hiding myself because of my resentment and shame on my hair! Thank you so much for making this video!
Girls get hair extensions, guys get hair systems. Glad you guys got more options now. I'm always happy when people can feel more comfortable with how they look
I love this thoughtful video, people like yourself are truly normalizing and destigmatizing the use of these, it's finally becoming less shunned and accepted which is excellent!
Everything you said is so true ! Nice video bro
This is so sweet, thank you for sharing.
The system looks great and its dope your stoked on it, but you should to give your transplanted hair more time. My hair was funky for like a over a year after mine, but it normalizes after awhile.
cool video dude. been considering a hair system for a bit myself haha
Have you considered the crux design from lord hair for breathability?, their hair systems quality take a crap after 1 month, compared to lavivid, but they are significantly cheaper. You can almost get 2 hair system for the price. But yeah looks good on you man! Idunno how you're taking care of that long hair, especially since you didn't grow hair on sides to belnd it in with. Please make more videos on this, as you learn. Congrats and welcome to the hair system journey!
You did good bro, looks awesome 👍💯
Great video. I admire your confidence and yes. A hair system renews a man's confidence.
Thank you for sharing your full experience about hair loss and what all you did to feel better again.Unfortunately I've experienced hair loss very soon,about age 17 and for 13 years i struggled with it and now I kind of decide to use hair systems.The only thing that scares me is the situation with gym and swimming pool.I work out for 4 or 5 days a week and going to pool for 2 days.I really don't want to bother and feel bad about moving the hair system with all that sweat and water smashes my head,especially because I'm a very sweaty guy.This is the biggest issue I have in my mind for now.
Hey, have you tried it in the end? How was it in the gym and swimming pool?
The avatar is a good analogy. Whatever makes u feel good is what’s good.
Looks great!
Thanks for this I am looking into getting one as well, I am mostly confident in my appearance but it does bug me I have been receding since my 20’s
Love u bro!
I think your HT looked good but I know what you mean about the frizzy look, something about the trauma of transplanting hairs means they don't seem to grow as well as they used to. And I've seen MPB itself cause peoples hair to go from straight and shiney, a year later it has gone to the frizzy public look. I think DHT as part of the miniaturization process causes hair to grow "deformed" like this. Lucky for me Fin did the trick @ NW1.5 !
You could literally be a model
You should try a new times hair system... they make really realistic hairlines. I switched from lordhair to new times hair cause of this 😀
Keep on the fin and don’t worry the texture of the transplanted hair will eventually match the rest of it. It just can take a very long time sometimes
Where in Houston does he work? I live in Galveston. Best advice I can give living in Texas is use Walker Sport Max, scalp protector especially in the summer
Dude atleast your open and rockin it. I still feel afraid to tell people. I would love something longer though like yours
Dude I've been there and now I'm wearing a system myself. People appreciate you and some people think I'm younger than I look. It feels good when people call you Bud or Buddy, instead of sir!
This made me wanna get the hair system !
Looks good! The whole system thing didn’t work for me with dust at work etc. brilliant for a few days ! Mine ended ‘hard’ and I could’nt find any to make it feel ‘silky and new’ 👍🏻
Was happiest and saddest/ insecure during that time! ( I envied bald guys at one point!! 😂)
I couldn’t handle people knowing/laughing etc. ( heckled by a kid once when I was well overdue a change! Faded, prob bad fit likely very obvious! But you get ‘used to it’ and
It can creep up!
Much cringe looking back and some
Photos are horrible, some are
Great
Awesome if you can visit a place very often and buy new ones regularly though
Glad it’s working for you, good luck
That's awesome brother...major balls you got..I've dealt with it for 15 years it's rough....I'm still hiding under a hat
Aw hell! I thought I was the only one. I spent six years doing comb over and ten years under a hat almost anytime I'm in public. I never even considered hair systems.🤦♂Did you get one?
Your hair looks great
You’re beautiful 😅 but yeah looking into this for myself, glad you have a good experience with it 🙏
looks great :)
I used to use tape, but it would always end up tearing the ultra thin skin base eventually, and sometimes you could see it in the hairline. I always use adhesive now. It's more comfortable, less noticeable, and greatly reduces the risk of tearing the base.
Great video man. You look great!! Can I ask what was the reason you wanted to use tape and not glue?
so thrilled you went so quicky for a wig xxxx did meds and tranplants and they are both pointless xxxxx
Yeah at your age and with your looks, a hair system just makes sense!
Looks awesome
Thanks for sharing the story man! It looks great on you! I might give the long hair a shot too!
Dude ur a open book I love it especially for a man it’s just something most men don’t speak about! My daughter And son are in there 20s they both have Alopecia so I know it’s not easy my daughter took a round of sterioids it worked but as soon as she stopped it the hair fell out!
Looks good man.
Damn, looks incredible. My boyfriend just started finasteride and for his sake I hope it works out, because my goodness, I had no idea how difficult this is for men…and how many go through it.
I wanted him to be comfortable with the hair loss but after 2 years, he still hasn’t fully accepted it. In fact he hasn’t accepted it much more at all. We’ve talked so much about it and decided that as scary as the possible side effects are, he’s going to regret not trying the pill.
Who knows what will happen, maybe he’ll keep his hair, maybe he’ll lose it. Either way I love him so much and just want every guy that’s losing their hair to know that it’s okay to be devastated over it, and that it really fucking sucks that people are still so insensitive to this topic. Also, men with super thick hair I’ve realized are pretty rare, and thinning and recession is everywhere so you are not alone my dude
It sucks i took finasteride for a month it really works but it makes u feel like a zombie with no sexual desire and low energy so here considering hair system instead
@@Wttttttttttttttttt his frontal hairline looks totally fake.
Finestiride may give you deformed kids
@@Wttttttttttttttttt yeah I wish I could take finasteride, but I started developing gyno and it killed my erections and sex drive. Think I'll stick with min and dermarolling, and eventually transition to a hair system
@@Upa1824 If u take finasteroid ,are the side effects only at the beginning or always bro ?
Hey. Thanks so much for the video. Are you still taking Finasteride and Minox?
Thank u king
Honestly from what I can see, you look good bald, but the HS looks great too 🔥
Love from Australia bro.. you look amazing 🔥🔥Can you please give the link from Amazon where u bought it off? I went on Amazon and couldn’t find it.. thanks 🙏
The company is called Lordhair
You with the wig on, is how you SHOULD naturally.
yo drew! nice video, open and honest - how old are you now buddy? must admit though, your hair was already decent before you shaved it to get the hair system! you were all good bro trust me!
Did you ever find anyone in Dallas man? I feel like there should definitely be a lot around here, but haven’t seen many
what tape do you use bro? i just had an install with all glue and i think its gonna be a pain in the ass to use glue myself. your hairline looks really good, especially for full poly. i guess my salon used a cheap product because the hairline is not good enough to have an exposed hairline
Hey Drew I wanted to ask this. Im 30 so im a bit older but I have the same thing going on. Iv'e always had to wear hats from my mid 20s and now because I have such a bad hair line. how much do you think dollar wise someone needs to spent on a hair system and do you think I should order online? or go to a professional near me. Im on east coast. thank you so much man!
Drew have you ever tried Propecia (finasteride) I’ve been on it for 3 years and it works a lot on my crown
Have you ever thought of getting it styled in a high and tight flat top?
Ur a really cool Guy man Im subbin 👍
Is this precut ? Looks awesome
hello could you tell me the hair color or if possible link the amazon piece
ure a legend
what system are you wearing in this video? lordhair? and where do you buy hair right now?
Can you please link the wig you bought, so we can buy it also
I'm balding (age19) i have a receding hairline on the corners of my temples and my hair is thinner than it once was, I really want to shave the middle and get a toupee but the thing is I'm scared it's too early for that because I don't have that "ugly balding look" you get when going bald I still look good (for now) but I miss my long wild really messy anime looking hair I had growing up it's crazy how fast this started happening I thought it would've started in my 20's not before, if anyone os reading this can I ask your opinion? What do you think I should do? Wait until it becomes a real problem or get it over with and find out if the hair peace is my style
Hey, I'm 20 and nw 3 vertex.. I'm close to also getting a hairsytsem but I don't think u should to it rn.. If u just start noticing it no one else does. Just wait a bit and try to live ur life without the trouble of a hairsystem.. Get on meds if u want to. If it gets way worse then do it
Bro, the hair looks good when you don't slick it back. No hairline is straight across. Keep it a little messy in front with an undefined hairline like what it looked like when you left the salon and you will be golden. Let it fall around your face for a real natural look.
yo i know usaid euro hair but like all these look short what 1 did u get. edit : was yours a 5-6 inch
I’ve heard that glue is so string that if your hair got caught in a drill you’re more likely to get scalped. So how strong is just the tape??
Hey man, can you link your hair system please?
This guys a cutie 🥹
I love suspenders
What brand did you use for your hair system?
I think you look great with the shaved head on the plane home.
Let's not kid ourselves. Bald doesn't look beautiful most of the time. Most men look worse physically at least to some degree when shaving their heads, some slightly worse while others way worse. Very few actually look great bald. Hair makes a huge difference because it frames your face and you can manipulate your hair to cover symmetry flaws that might exist, like long and thin face or a huge forehead etc.
Balding in your 20s is a pretty depressing experience. That's when you are supposed to be at your physical peak, attracting mates and being confident about how you look in general. Hell, if you are putting effort in dressing and working out and generally caring about your appearance, balding hits you even more.
Not sure why you opted for hair system to be honest. After your transplant, your hair looks pretty good actually. I guess it might have been a volume thing.
it looked good, but behind the transplanted area, a visible thinning could be observed in the video and as he pointed out. So, he would have needed a 2nd transplant and if one needs already two procedures in his early twenties, there is no escape . Eventually hairsystem was a good solution for him.
I’ve tend to find the people who feel self conscious about being bald, honestly make it look pretty badass
Link that hairsystem bro!
“Grandpa’s toupée on the side of the road and stuck it on my head!” 🤭 … I love the look! Got my first hair system a month ago…. It’s still in the box. I’m nervous, don’t know where to start. The color isn’t really accurate. The haircut Lordhair gave to the piece was supposed to be a to the mid ear level curtain cut and it’s shorter. Not sure where to go to have it “installed” 🤭, if they can fix the color and the cut. 😣 ugh not sure if this was a good idea.
The problem for me is when people notice it and then your the topic of conversation in the office.
First off, the people won't notice and second, people really don't care enough about you
Dude you could be a counselor for real
Did you continue finasteride/ minoxidil after your transplant
I continued with Fin, but stopped minoxidil because it made my face bloated..
those who got the Lord hair l was wondering what do you do if you were bald or part bald when your passport and drivers license photos were taken and you now have a full set of LORD hair and look totally different from your photos , what happens when you need to show your license or passport? do you take it off ? what if the cops pull you over for speeding and you show them your license and you look nothing like the photo
Any update please
I want a wig. I also want teeth implants or even dentures. I would like eye contracts.
😂😂
I wish you lived in Los Angeles bro…
If u take finasteroid ,are the side effects only at the beginning or always bro ?
Always.
@@Internet007.Nope. Some go away.
what did it cost you??
what type of tape u use brother
nice video
walker extra hold!!
@@DrewGunby guys hair looks totally fake in the front. Bet he watches Jake Kent
You are too cute!
It suits you and you cannot tell ..
