A Comprehensive Guide On Where To Buy Your Hair System Online

[@nlk8966]

Jake I appreciate ur videos. I am a women who wears a custom hair system. I have been through a rough journey. I spend thousands of dollars… I would like to ask u a few questions in a non public forum. I hope ur knowledge can be helpful to me.

[@LaVividHairSystem]

Very useful video Jake! Understanding the color, base & density, contour, etc is very important to pick a right style of hair system. Thank you for all the informative videos!

[@JakeKent]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrise438]

This was probably one of your best, if not the best, videos you're done. Extremely informative! Your hair looks really good too. I like the idea of teaming up with a distributor and offering more specific information. Excellent..... thank you and keep It up!

[@JakeKent]

Wow, thank you! i'll look into it

[@keratinbrotherhood]

Congrats on 1k Jake! Much deserved my brother. inb4 10k

[@JakeKent]

Appreciate it bro! looking forward to growing with you

[@justingillis9254]

i ordered my first system based on what i was seeing on my computer screen, and it is literally perfect. You literally cannot tell where my bio hair starts and where my system ends

[@David-no7zi]

Regarding hairlines and their recession, what really matters is the recession on your side-hair - i.e. from temples running up the side of your head until it 'meets' with the top hairline. The top hairline has to transition into your side hair line naturally for it to look realistic.

[@JakeKent]

When did you lose your temple hair?

[@David-no7zi]

@@2011buddylee Sounds good - I'm actually looking into the possiblity of a small temple transplant - only a few hundred hairs each side, to restore mine. Loss of temple hair makes a big difference aesthetically considering how few hairs it actually involves - makes your forehead look 'wide'.

[@David-no7zi]

@@JakeKent I'm 36, and I'd guess I'm a norwood 3 at the moment. Thick sides and back, thinning hair on top.....but my temples were actually the first thing to go - I haven't had solid temples like you have since I was about 22, even though my hair loss has progressed slowly since then. Some people lose their temples early, some go completely bald on top but always keep their temples....it's an odd thing!

[@David-no7zi]

@Francis Galati Best of luck with your new system Francis!

[@rodrigobarr7]

I like your videos and I know that you are talking from your personal experience, but I definitely have to recommend the use of images. As a user of hair systems, I like to see the information linked to an image to have the clearest idea of the information that you are sharing. I believe that your videos would be even better. Thanks.

[@JakeKent]

Thanks rodrigo

[@snakesghost7817]

I have a response to your "why would you wear a recessive hairline" comment. I was 28 when I got my hair system and I told the salon to do my natural hairline (which exists still, it's the crown that is completely bare). My natural hairline was fairly receded, but still also looked like a mature late 20's hairline. The hair system was nearly undetectable because my hairline was a natural slightly receded look. It tricks people into going like "someone who is insecure and gets a hair system won't get a hair system with a receding hairline". That's the point of me doing that ! Hahahaha. It worked pretty well.

[@eaman87]

Another excellent video, extremely helpful for many people like myself! Keep posting mate and well done!

[@worldhippie]

Great info! You should also review pieces from different companies and let us know their quality.

[@auferouk1121]

Great info. But people need to know that each company uses their own letters for contours. Each company uses their own colour ring. Each company uses their own density percentages. NO specifications are universal, or transferable between suppliers.

[@JakeKent]

💯!

[@kirbykurasz]

Yes this is so true I ordered from lord hair a #2 dark brown which matches my hair pretty good, and then tried newlace.cu and there #2 was lighter. And thickness was way to much.

[@bradmoran5229]

No standards in China? 😲

[@dale3083]

Jake good information one question I have is, I live in Waco, Texas, and would like to find a Lavivid hair replacement salon in the area for the first few times but can't locate one. Called hair Club they want 386.00 a month. That is way too high. You interviewed a person from Texas and I have no idea now what video it's on. Also, my hair is dirty blonde and no gray but, my beard is mixed with a lot of gray even white so do you get a system that matches more with the beard or the hair. I'm 73 and have been wanting to get hair since my 40s. You've inspired me, young man. Thank you. I could consider Lordshair also, I don't want to buy a system every month but my main thing is I want it to look real. I do have a ponytail I began growing again. A lot of us after Vietnam began growing long hair. Now, will a system still work? Do most of these salons or shops charge high prices every time you go into them to get your hair put on?

[@krissnepp2392]

Hi Jake! I appreciate your videos very much! Have you had any experience a company called Hollywood Lace Hair?

[@Ash-126]

I genuinely wanna see a comparison between lavivid and lordhair. Those are the 2 I hear about most frequently.

[@JakeKent]

I will probably do one in the future

[@Ash-126]

Jake Kent sounds good! U seem like a very unbiased and honest person so I’ll definitely be looking forward to it!

[@davidhanna6766]

How do I locate someone in my area with experience to install/cut a new system for me?

[@omarquirarte9035]

if you do maintenace accordingly, how long can you expect this hair system to last?

[@Yzdrd]

So where is the link to purchase the hair system?:)

[@nyacoustics8373]

do these companies send a color chart or sample wheel for free?

[@nyacoustics8373]

whats a rough estimate that a salon or stylist would charge to cut and blend the hair system that you bring them?

[@JuniorLoup]

in my town in France, it's 150€ if you bring your own hair system.

[@rmando852]

I've tried many companies and realized that a stock unit does not work for me but I was surprised when a page that I found on Instagram has a stock unit with a lower density and a front hairline that is not round. Works for me

What is the name of the company? TIA

[@paulsimmonds2030]

Hi. Talking of colour matching. I am going grey at the temples and really hate it. So I dye my hair back to its natural colour. So here’s the question. Can I purchase a hair system that closely matches the colour of my own hair and then dye it for a total match?

[@John-mp6km]

What kind of unit do you use? Where is it ordered from?

[@martinla561]

Where does one get a toupee cut and style in Los Angeles

[@puddinTane760]

Is there a difference between toupees and hair systems

[@dariennights]

What system would you recommend for a natural hairline (look to wear hair up and back)?

[@motulifelikefigures1987]

ordered a system online only to learn the placement by a hairstylist is billed 230$ per hour (they say they need 2.5h) so thats 575$ only for placement service. thats 4x times more than the actual hairsystem itself. yeah not happening.

[@TotallyHypnoSquid]

HI Jake! Just discovered your channel and I'm REALLY appreciating all the insight you give on living with a hair system. Is there any possibility for me to email you or contact you to ask for your opinion on something regarding a hair system for myself? I've been looking into systems for about 6 months now and have been leaning towards it for a while, I just need to talk to someone who knows the topic before I feel totally confident with the decision. Thank you, and thank you for the great content!

[@JuniorLoup]

Does anybody know a good reseller from factory in China ? I'm in Europe and ordering from USA is too pricey because of the vat taxes.

[@I3atosai]

Do you just use the Ultra hold tape to put on your unit? Or do you also use Glue or both at the same time? Thanks

[@JakeKent]

only tape, because i sweat so much.

[@jim.in.louisiana]

Very informative! You nailed the big three color, density, and hairline!

[@JakeKent]

Yay, thank you!

[@ericeric4774]

I like your content so far. Haven't watch everything yet. But transparency is important. I hope you review different unit and companies. Not be with just one...

[@JakeKent]

Eric, lavivid hair sponsors some of my videos, but I don’t take commission from any Company, because I want THE VIEWER to make the Choice. I do purposefully give equal support to all companies who help support the conversation around destigmatizing hairloss, instead of taking commission from one particular company.

[@ericeric4774]

@@JakeKent thank you Jake! I hope your videos can be seen around the world. I think most people fighting hairloss can relate. Removing the stigma that comes with it is very important. Hopefully one day there is a cure. Or even hair cloning as an actual treatment

[@OfAngelicParagons]

I install my own unit then go to the only place in my town that knows how to cut the hair and they charge $220 just to cut it, is this normal, and they don't do a good job they charge over a grand for the full system and a curse and I think because ibring in my own system they purposely ruin mine because I get cut kinda long but there are hundreds of little hairs that stick straight up and out, I'm new to this and idk if I'm doing something wrong I had 3 system so far and none of them compare to what I see online it pisses me off because I live off ssi $550 a month I'm so sick of hair loss I have alopecia and scalp eczema and I'm 23 but look 18 bald looks terrible on me and this hair system thing just doesn't seem to be working out for me I'm so depressed

[@asmrwaterskin2478]

Have you tried the hair system distributor do a precut for you? It costs $30-$40. In that way you can save the money. Also super hair pieces do a online consultation. That may help you with some of the trouble you are having.

[@nausetlight5192]

Very helpful video! What contour is yours? Do you know the thickness of the poly on your unit? Thanks

[@joshgates2671]

Glad I mentioned them and u looked up lavvivd. U will enjoy their quality, they stay that new smooth much longer after washes.

[@selene7416]

Hey Jake can you tell me what density your unit is?

Hey Jake I recommend you take a look this latin actor William Levy..he has hair system and a nice haircut

[@JakeKent]

[@ydtech2649]

Hi Jake is the system you’re wearing in this video from LaVivid?

[@JakeKent]

As I mentioned in the video It is not

[@stevedgrossman]

One good point is the cost of the unit. But there is one more thing I want to add. folks hunting for a bargain are more likely to try and get as much life out of their systems that they can, especially if they are DIYers. The problem comes is that you tend to start to think about a new unit, after you needed to change it. Then you need to order. That time gap... you don't look 100%. The idea is to have a consistent look. It means having that next system in your hands BEFORE you need to take the one on your head off, and toss it into the trash. I have clients coming to me with bald patches asking me (hey do you think I can get another month out of this thing)? No matter what you decide to buy, once you have something that works, stick with it... and always have a spare. In the time of COVID-19, and limited inventories, it really makes sense to make sure that next unit is in it's bag, in a drawer, waiting to be attached.

[@JakeKent]

dude this huge!

[@Ash32524]

what contour is that system?

[@petesantana7302]

For me the best with MHE . Best price and quality. Pete

[@JakeKent]

awesome. thanks for the tip

[@arjayblank7771]

I’ve bought my last 6 units from MHE. Great quality and OUTSTANDING customer service.

[@-The-Golden-God-]

I've had two MHE systems. First swiss lace in 65% grey, second thin skin in 40% which I just received. I sent off a hair sample but I'm having huge issues getting a match. The 65% looked nearly 100% grey at a glance and was more silver than grey, almost with a purple tint. It didn't look like a natural colour. I just got the 40% and it's barely grey at all and I won't be able to use it. From a distance it looks black. Both systems are fantastic quality but the stock system density is far too dense for me. I honestly feel stock systems should be light by default, they look much more realistic imo. So yeah, if you can get a colour match, I recommend MHE. But I'm struggling and I've wasted a lot of money. I've reached out to see if a colour wheel is available.

[@petesantana7302]

G Hammer # you can tell him that the system is not as you expect. That guy will make things happen. He is nice. I like your comment Pete

god the lordhair color ring is so overpriced. just to find my hair color once lol

[@paulnerval7632]

Jake, the hair systems that you wear are always undetectable. However, the one in this video is not. The hairline is too low. I think a slight recession would look more natural.
