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
Also, I can’t believe you don’t have a million subs. You have an incredible, genuine channel. Thank you for the excellent content!
Thanks brother!
The problem with this units is the the front part is thinskin or super thinskin in the best case. For an exposed hairline I only rely on Ultra thin skin, but for some reason they don't a do a swiss-center with UTS perimeter combo or at least only the front part, which would be the perfect combination. Ventilation and a perfect front, and a good hold. That would be the perfect system but nobody comes up with it.
Brillaint man. ...always helps others
I really love your videos. Having worn hair systems since around early 20s (I am in my late 40s now), I have gone from the worst kind (I do not even know what the base material is called) to the latest technology (thin skin or natural skin). I do exercise and living in a tropical city in the Asian region means I perspire even without working out. A breathable system is therefore necessary. My latest piece is a French Lace with a PVC outer perimeter. I am still getting used to it but as with all french laces, they are more durable and they breathe better. And I do prefer a semi-permanent system where I can take it out to wash the hair and put it back again. Call me archaic but I still use clips in my system. They are really traditional but that saves me a lot in terms of adhesives. I have never used glue in my whole life and like in one of your videos, I hesitate to use them.
For the adhesives, I am also very cautious since I can't have one which sticks so well and if I were to remove it daily, it might result in a less stickiness in a shorter period of time. Therefore I use clips. However clips can also damage your existing hair but when you are doing yoga and are on your downward dog, you feel secure that the clip is tight to your existing hair. I guess I will continue to use a combination of clips and less sticky tape (the ultrahold kind is not very suitable).
Anyway, just want to assure you to keep your videos coming as you really make comments that are very real and sound for a hairloss sufferer. Not everyone can take a bald head as perhaps genetically our head shapes may not be that suitable. I continue to go back to hairloss systems as it gives me the confidence to live my daily lives. l have watched MHE Curtis which you have mentioned and today there are a few entreprenuers who are disrupting the hair system industry by offering many an alternatives and DIY to the thousand dollar systems which you once have to go through the hair system chains.
Continue to post your experience on hair systems! Kudos.
I remember asking you a question about working out and bonds, back when you had your first system. I love being active, so this video really helped me a lot. Thank you for this!
I've used a French Lace system from Day one. Living in a warm and humid environment definitely requires some ventilation. I was advised by the hair system company I purchased from to start with a poly perimeter, due to the delicate lace structure. I then graduated to poly on just the back and sides. Now, being comfortable handling it, I've gone with a full lace. It comes down to your comfort zone. Your system looks fantastic!
What are your thoughts on how realistic the poly perimeter looked vs poly in the back and sides? I thought poly was more delicate than lace - is that inaccurate?
Great video man ♥️
Your content is a godsend Jake
appreciate that luke!
Awesome video man! I'm excited to see things working for you because this really boosts ones self confidence, it just does. It's just like looking at a cute dog or cat and then picturing how they'd look without fur... I feel like everyone looks better with hair. Even bald men that look good bald would probably look slightly better with hair and the right hairstyle for them. You look great man! Never stop making these videos!
Thanks addy!
Hello Jake! I've been following you here for quite a while and this video gave me the answer to the doubts I had wearing a hair system, I'm thinking about having a hair system, and now I'm sure this one you described here is the perfect one I like to have or very similar to that one you are wearing. It guaranties that the scalp can still breath and at least having this feeling. Thanks so much. This video opened my eyes! Greetings from Berlin Germany, Paul
Incredible! Glad to hear!
Great video! Understood more as you heeded to my advice by showing a diagram. Was much easier to digest what you were saying! Thanks mate!!
Thanks for the tip... note to get a white board that’s not incredibly huge 😂
Thanks again for more one amazing video bro. You looks great 👏🏻
you're welcome bro!
Hair looks amazing dude. Would never have thought you had taped the hairline. I am installing mine this Friday and getting the cut-in on Saturday. It is a Swiss Lace from Curtis (MHE). I am also very active but thankfully I am in Canada where it is generally cooler and dry, so I think I might be able to make it last a decent amount of time with the correct care. Anyways, great information man, really appreciated. Talk soon.
Good stuff! Let me know when you get it installed. I’d love to have you on the channel
You look SO good in this video. This beard style really squares off your jaw
thanks for the feedback
Nice job mate. I’ve been fighting with my hair place to get me this. They’ve finally ordered me one. I swear a lot and have an oily scalp.
Love your videos, thanks for all of the info. What brand of hair system are you using??
Really like how open you are about your system. I decided to be open about mine too.
That’s awesome! If you want to come on the channel, I’d love to have tou
@@JakeKent Thanks for the offer man! I will let you know in the future if I do decide to, we certainly need more people to stop caring about what other people think about our systems.
Thats a great color for you
Thanks!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I work out regularly and sweat like crazy. I wear an all lace system from HD HairDirect and yes the sweat goes right through and is breathable. I use contour tape in back and tape in front when I need a more realistic for a pushed back hairstyle I use glue in front. But tape is such less maintenance. Your looks awesome.
Hi there, i opted to punch little holes in my ultra thin skin with a needle, also vents and allows the sweat to go through, criss cross the tape and glued the hairline walker max sport (no water based glues), works fine for me and i sweat like crazy. Cheers for the vids.
That’s cool. I’ve seen stickonhair say he was going to try doing that same technique. Never did it though!! I’m curious about all your results
What system is it? Where did you get it? Love the look!
How about combining Swiss and French lace
Will Swiss lace work as perfect as poly?
Any videos on water time, ie: scuba for one, or even just the pool?
Good for you. A new level of freedom. Continue to be flexible and try different stuff.
If you used glue adhesive just on the poly parts, do you think that would work as well?
Hi Jake. With the system you wearing in the video I see that it's a thin skin.is the skin thin enough where you can brush the hair back like those .03 or .06 skin units or is it heavier where you can see the hair line start,? Also if it is that then skin how do not tear it when using tape in the front? Thanks it looks amazing. Unfortunately I'm a colorful and Lord hairs for doesn't match my hair so I have to have it colored after I get it
Where did you get your system? Been watching all your videos to figure that out but haven't heard you mention it
I have a similar setup, only that the front is Swiss lace in my case. To be honest, that front gives me the most issues as well. I use no shine tape at the front since I don’t want to use the liquid stuff and optically it is fine I guess. But I am having the hardest time to place the tapes just right on the edge of the lace.
For the next system I would also consider poly on the front. How thick is the poly part you have there? And any chance that you will show us a close up of the hairline in a future video?
Cheers!
.05mm
Glad is working out for you 👍
I'm happy for you.... looks great too! I believe I said this before but mine in poly sides and back, french lase everywhere else. I think it looks and feels very natural. Best one yet... for me anyway. Thanks... great video with lots of good info! Best of luck ttys!
thats awesome!! so the front hairline is french?
So happy to hear this new system is working out for you Jake. I think it looks wonderful.
It’s great to hear about the different options available as well.
I’ve been wearing my Swiss lace (from Curtis) for two weeks now and I have to say it’s going pretty well. Just did a complete cleaning and reinstall this morning. The only thing is I still need to get it cut and blended but that can’t happen until the hairdressers are allowed to cut hair again. I decided to install it regardless though just to get used to the way it would feel and I’m slowly getting used to it. The hardest part for me is trying to line it up but thankfully, my roommate has helped we with that. So far, so good!
Dude we gotta get you on the channel! You’re one of the OG’s!
@Jake Kent hehe. Well maybe once I get an actual haircut. It's way too long right now. :)
@@richardb607 How do you install your hair system? Full glue bond or tape with front glued? Also how long do you estimate your swiss lace hair system will last? Does it seem like it's holding up well? Sorry for all the questions man 😂 I'm thinking about ordering a swiss lace system from Curtis and seeing as you're wearing one I figured I'd try to get more info on it lol.
@Addy Sykes glad to answer any questions you might have.
Firstly, I get all my supplies from Curtis. His Starter kit is absolutely perfect!
I use tape at the back and sides and also use one piece of tape verically across the forehead along with glue on the front. I actually find doing the front part really easy.
It holds very well if you don't overstretch it and let it lay more naturally and let it go where it wants to go. Also, I would recommend a satin pillowcase for sleeping at night. Cotton pillowcases can cause some movement necause the hair kinda catches and sticks to it but no issues with that with a satin pillowcase at all! The hair doesnt stick to it at all!
I honestly think it may last 3 to 4 months. If you install it yourself, take your time! Don't rush through any part of it. Trust me, rushing will lead to issues. It. does get easier the more you do it. Lining it up is what I find most difficult but I have found putting that vertical piece of tape on the forehead to hold it in place and then slowly rolling the rest on your head very, very, very gently works best for me. Ever so gently pulling the sides outward as you're rolling it towards the back of your head nice and flat. If you have anyone to assist you that you trust for the first few installs, that would be highly recommended unless you have your hairstylist do the attachment.
I am happy to send you pics to let you see what it looks like if you want. Curtis's units are great quality but hair systems are delicate in general so you have to be gentle with them.
The front hairline on his Swiss lace units look very natural it you just let the system lay naturally on your forehead without overstretching it.
One other item that I find very handy it one of those plastic dental floss things with the plastic pick on the one end. Using that end dipped on rubbing alcohol is a very useful tool to get those random hairs that get stuck in the glue along the front hairline unstuck.
All these tips are from Curtis's videos so he deserves the credit, not me.
One last thing, Curtis is AMAZING and answering questions and responding quickly. His customer service is impeccable!
Oh one last thing, if you order from HairbyMHE, send in a hair sample if you can! Curtis did an incredible job with the hair colour match. The system will look a bit darker at first but it lightens a bit after you wash it. Mine is an absolute perfect colour match with 10% grey. The grey added makes it look extremely natural.
What about fine mono base with poly perimeter? Will that itch even more?
You're looking awesome dude, gives me a lot of hope
Go out and try it!
I agree. What have you got to lose?
Do it bro...you'll eventually figure it all out and I'm sure you will love it!
@@JakeKent I will once they open the borders again (I live in Belgium and the salon is in the Netherlands) 😁
@@alvinandyounoob hey did you get it done? I also live in Belgium and am looking for a place, what one did you find in the Netherlands ?
Where can I buy a piece like this?
Hi Jake your system is truly amazing from a far and close 😊
I prefer Ultra Hold all over. I only wear Thin Skins
Great Video 🙏
Thanks kev! 👌🏻 glad that works for you
Any side effects at all from the tape?
What type of tape you use on the poly skin? With your active life are they able to hold up for 1 week or longer?
what?! i gotta check this out
So I actually put adhesive in front and tape on the back for these. It's easier than you think. After putting the tape on the system and setting it, just lift the front and apply on the system liberally.
Hmm I might try that eventually!
The one thing I’m not keen on is when glue seeps out and gets in the hair. Have you had this issue before?
@@JakeKent yes but only when it around maintenance times and if u put too thick of a layer in front. Thin coat of ultra hold does wonders.
@@JakeKent yup and makes placement much easier too
Yupp finally.ive been beating this drum for a long time. I've told you about this,Chris hip toupee about it and Curtis. Curtis didn't want to sell these because it would hurt his business smh, lost much respect for him. But the poly cross section is a new one. I'll tell u about my experience so far on next comment.
Why would it hurt his business?
@@JakeKent he probably thinks because of the longevity of the system and great trade off that people won't buy more than needed and also probably just buy these. I didn't argue about it with him I just couldn't believe it. He made them custom for me tho. Hair quality was trash everytime tho smh.
Looking well buddy - great hairstyle- I've worn french lace with poly border for a year now! My next one is going to be a gaspermiable poly - should be interesting - great video
where did you find gas permeable units?
@@JakeKent - Curtis - MHE
@@derekpreston8099 How did you like the gas-permeable poly? Did you notice a physical difference from the poly and was it more comfortable?
I’m happy for you. Man enjoy it. I agree this unit is the best. I had the same problem. I tri d everything. This was the best.
Can you make a video how to wash your hair and style it.how keep the hair silky as possible. Now take us to enjoy about the challenge of caring for it..Show the best way to shampoo e style. That was my big issue. Thank you
Peter
i got you man!
Jake Kent # we know that you are very understanding and really makes the difference. I wish I had someone helping us like you when I started my journey. Please never change. Pete
I tried mixed bases before and the 'joins' always drove me nuts. The least detectable is all super fine swiss lace. There is no perfect base because it's not real growing hair. There will always be pros and cons. Where i live in the summer or now it starts getting super humid when we do have a nice day. All glue attachments don't work for me that well and the glue breaks down super fast. White glues turn white and clear glues melt. So maybe I"ll start trying tape but my bio hair is so light and fine that I have to wear my sides shaven to a #1 or #2 but I still have my temple points, etc. I think I'm going to try some sort of system like this to see if I can make my life easier or just live bald. Also since my bio hair is so fine and light doing the tape thing on the sides with a light or extra light density you can see the tape line so that's whay I always use all glue. Kind of a touch situation to be in for a hair wearer. lol
Hmm. What hairstyle do you wear?
@@JakeKent I'll send you some pics via email. Undercut with #1 shaved bio hair that I only let grow to a #2 b/c that's when you can start to notice the thin spots. I wish I didn't have to wear this hair style but it's pretty much my only choice than the obvious shave it bro look.
@@2011buddylee Thanks for your concern. Yes clips are not something I can even consider. I probably wouldn't do that though even though I do have trouble with adhesives I still get decent enough hold times out of them for the most part. Interesting about your thyroid. Did that cause your hairloss by chance?
Where in miami you went?
Beard and hair games looking strong 💪🏽can’t wait to get my first hair system
LETS GOOOOO!! you gotta come on the show when that happens!! email me jake@dillymedia.com
Jake Kent I’ll mail you now bro
Jake, I’m a fellow Miami resident (we spoke via email, actually). I haven’t tried Total Secret, but they did a great job (fantastic unit man)! I use a 100% French Lace/tape bond, and I get 9 months out of it. I use dye (or get it dyed) when it fades a bit (usually after 2 months). I have a non-exposed hairline because I’m lazy lol. Plus, my style works well for my face. Btw, you will see a huge jump in durability!
Wow! That’s amazing!
Where do you get poly perimeter with french lace? Thanks :)
From my sylist. but there are distrobutors out there that make hybrid units!
Hey Jake.
I'm coming up to two years wearing systems from MHE. I'm very happy with Curtis' systems and his customer service.
Have you ever tried tape directly on the Swiss Lace hairline? I'm wondering if it might be a good idea during the hotter summer months. I also ride a motorcycle in the summer, so the sweat really builds up and can become a problem when taking the helmet off (I wear a dew rag under my helmet, but it does pull off sometimes). I tend to have awesome adhesion, even though I do sweat a bit, but it would definitely take the worry away from wondering if your lace is lifting when you're running around in the summer public and pulling your helmet on and off. I have a partially exposed hairline, although I am thinking on getting a bit braver with hairline exposure.
Does the tape destroy the thin skin? What tape are you using. I use ultra tape
I’ve used tape on thin skin. Didn’t destroy it
Also only thing is I've found shAmpooing or conditioning this system in shower takes away days from the bond. I guess because shampoo breaks the bond when it goes in through the French lace part. So I'm just washing during maintaince and applying a lil leave in conditioner.
How many weeks / months do you think you will get out of it?
Don’t know. Estimating 3-4 months
Any update to this? Do you feel this is the best option for a gym rat?
You ever wore a CNC hair system? It’s meant for heavy workouts. It is not lace or poly. It’s 3D printed so it fits your head and no itching.
That is something I need to look more into. I’ve done only minimal research on CNC units it i totally get the power of CNC. My friend has a machine.
What is the CNC hair system made of?
I got my custom in and I did lift injection in the front. The poly is .05 tho. What are the specs on yours? I'm thinking of doing .03 next even if I'll only be able to do it in a medium light density. I'm a actor & workout so need perfection on camera and ventilation in the gym.
Hey Jake, just curious as to if this system was custom built and if so, how much extra was the customization?
It was not custom built!
How often do you have to re-apply it
Each person is different based off the adhesive, how much you sweat, etc. so far I’m a week in and it’s going well
Jake Kent so roughly once every other week if you had to guess?
I work office job so doesnt apply to me but im sure this is a great video for other active people
That’s awesome!
Jake Kent Jake seriously you do need hair, BUT NOT THAT HAIR. Poly look fabulous on you. Go back to poly and just work out less. That system looks fake.
Pete Lugazzi “and just work out less” bruh gtfo😂 slob
Jacob Thomas Thinking of William Shatner, Jake went from Star Trek GOOD HAIR SYSTEM to TJ HOOKER bad hair system with this new lace unit. So 70's. Get with 2020 Jake. Poly or skin systems
Hey Mate. I am living in NYC and you mentioned before that you know someone who hairstylist in New York. Can you share him/her info with me? Also It's good if you know someone in NY,NJ,PN,CT,MD,VA,DC,MA . I wish I could go to Miami to visit your stylist but it's too far. Thank you.
Turkey748596 he goes under the name of Phil does hair, he seems good at hair systems. He changes about $800 +. www.phildoeshair.com
Videos of Phil on Instagram he also has CZcams videos. instagram.com/phildoeshair/?hl=en
Phil has some of the best work I’ve seen. He’s also been the only hair system stylist to properly leverage social media
Even with a lace system (what I've always used) I still feel "dirty" with exercise. Oh well at least you're happy.
What is the thickness of the front poly border?
Any availability of a swiss and poly?
Do you think Hair Systems will get so good that you can leave it on your head for months?
Great question! Maybe if we can find the right technology!
I have no clue what's in the works but I feel like there should be something out there that bonds so well and is so breathable that it's actually safe to permanently attach individual hairs to the first layer of the skin which would last for the entire growth cycle of the first layer of skin.
link?
I thought you said you were going to take your hat off and show your finasteride/minoxidil progress? Did I miss that episode?
Dang. I forgot. I’ll make a video soon about it.
Can we get in touch for more info? I Wanna buy a hair system online That i can wear while working out and iT matches my hair Color. What products to use for keeping the system too stick etcetera. Can we have contact With e-mail or anythng? I wanna pay for it.

I still think you are training way too much. Watch the videos and interviews of the renowned ex-Soviet strength coach Pavel Tsatsouline. There is no Russian word for "workout" - meaning to work yourself out. You should be training regularly, but only be maxing out twice a year, or once a month at most. The Russians train more intelligently and are stronger for it. Some of their strength records from the 80s still stand. Watch his interviews. All that being said, I used to train like you maxing out all the time. I fixed the sweat issue by training at home, doing a heavy sweaty set then putting an ice pack from the freezer on top of the poly system between sets to cool down and stop the sweating. It worked great. Plus unlike the gym, I could play my own music and there were no idiots in the way.
I’ll check his videos out.
Look great but are you stoned? Lol so chill
Haha I don’t smoke! But some say I’m chill 😂
How often should I take a shower, I mean hair ?
