Getting a Hair System? WATCH THIS! The Emotional Journey of Getting a Hair System

[@axvgeek6333]

Damn! We went through the exact same phase! This is a very personal choice and experience. From shock to disappointment in the hair system. It was awful not getting educated at the hair system salon. I didn’t know anything. What was I supposed to do? Keep going back? KZbin is great. Now I can get the education needed.

[@JakeKent]

love it!

[@michaelgordon3241]

many of these salons never want you to learn anything because that's how they suck you in with their expensive monthly payments.

Hi again Jake. Thank you so much for making this video, just as you promised you would. You’ve touched on so many things that have been on my mind. I think the scariest part is going to be “that point of no return” that you mentioned. I think the advantage for me though is i just have thin hair and I currently use coloured spray and fibres so to others, I’m not bald. Once, I get the hair system installed, I think to others, my hair will just look healthier, fuller and longer......at least that’s my hope. Your videos are very honest and you have a very gentle, kind nature about you that makes me feel really good. Your videos are really helping me. I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I wish we were closer. I’d love to be there to support each other and help each other out through this journey. Aside from that, I think it’d be really nice to get to know you. A lot of the things you said in your video really hit home, and made me emotional at certain points. I wish I could just give you a hug. Honestly, thank you for doing this. I love when you say “it’s gonna be okay” and that “we need each other.” You’re pretty incredible.

[@JakeKent]

That’s extraordinarily touching Richard! In a way, we can still support each other. Just keep communicating, and we’ll keep talking :)

[@richardb607]

Jake Kent I’d love that.

[@jonathanestrada9729]

Hey, bud! I appreciate you putting out this video even though I'm a year late in watching it. A lot of the things that you said hit home for me as a hair system user. I had never thought that I'd be this emotional about my own experience and I can't count the number of times that I rolled my eyes on myself. I'd always regarded myself as a rational and logical person and so feeling so much sadness, distress, and anxiety over something that I had thought as ordinary as hair has annoyed and perplexed me. You said that folks like you and me need each other. Oh, man, that made me laugh because I always believed that I didn't need anyone for anything. In my book, any man who said he needed another person was weak. In complete humility, I'm now conceding and admitting that I am weak. I do need people for this journey after all. Lol! I'm staying the course because the folks around me say they like it and I find it really irrational to quit. Lol. Besides, I've spent so much money on this, I might as well enjoy it. And it is growing on me. You said that it felt fake for you at some point. I've felt that too. It's depressing and also annoying because there is now tension between my emotions and the rational side of my brain. Anyway, once again I thank you for putting this out. It was like you took the words out of my mouth. God bless you, buddy.

Dang dude. That’s a pretty amazing comment. I’d love to have you on for an interview, to talk about this stuff. Send me an email at [e-mail] if you’d be willing to discuss. Send me a note about this comment!

@@JakeKent Okay. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I'm pretty loaded at work at this time, unfortunately.

[@TheBengaal]

Damnn! I can already predict you're gonna have a big hair system youtube channel (if you want it, at least). You explain very well and are mentioning the importent things. Keep up the good work. Will follow your channel! Hope you make more videos regarding how it holds up when you do sports everyday and the maintenance that comes with it. That's the only thing for now that's keeping me from wearing one.

[@georgeg7665]

Been rocking the bald look for 3 years now and I like it, the thing is it gets kinda boring just having the same type of look. I remember when I grew out my hair for a year and shave it all off. Would you recommend getting a hair system to spice things up from time to time?

[@ronaldchannel]

Lol. You are describing what I’m felling right now about the fears of installing the system... soon.

[@JakeKent]

take the leap bro!

[@fabbianocruz8816]

Waow goin thru the same thing rite now..AWESOME VID!!

[@michaelgordon3241]

I tell almost everyone and everyone is always surprised and its never been a deal breaker when dating. I'm in Ft Lauderdale. The salons here suck. As I have said, I do it all on my own now. If youve discovered a good stylist in Miami hit me up..been wearing thé same hair style for years. My only regret is I waited till I was 24 to get a $150 piece for 950$ at what used to be a décent salon. It is an instant confidence booster.

[@JakeKent]

yep, I’ve got a spot in Miami. [e-mail] email me

[@d.e.t4147]

I went through all of the emotions when I first started too. I was very excited when I walked out of the hair salon with my new whip, as Curtis says. I was determined to do this on my own though, and from that point on, and I have. However the very first time I tried to do a re-groom after my initial install at the salon, I was so frustrated that I just about threw it in the trash. I was like F this I can’t do it, I’m done! But then I calmed my ass down, took a deep breath and told myself to just take my time, I can do this. I finally got it on and it looked fantastic. After that I only got better and better at my re-grooming. I’m almost two years into wearing I have a pretty good system to doing it all myself. I personally couldn’t have done it without Curtis’s ebook and video training that he has.

[@JakeKent]

He’s got so much value in his channel. It helped me. That’s why I started this one.

[@retro423]

You are so right, I've been wearing hair systems since 1988 and remember when I first had it fitted I went back to the salon to get it removed because of all the reasons that you mention, even though no-one noticed that I'd had it replaced, they persuaded me to keep it, now all these years later and 2 ex wives ( who never knew) I'm still wearing hair and do it myself now, so no expensive salons

[@JakeKent]

You gotta teach me how to do reinstalls with no help!

[@Briggz30]

First i wanna say , thanks for making these videos . They are very helpful and very much needed for us guys to discuss this topic. This is the first time hearing about euro tape . Like i was saying in your last video - im also extremely active and sweating is a huge huge concern . Do you just use euro tape around the perimeter or do you also put some down the middle ect ? Also what type of system do you have ? poly or lace or combo of poly and lace . sorry if youve answered this already . anyway thx a lot for the videos . keep them coming .

[@JakeKent]

Right now I’m running a poly system, which I’ve heard is the most “unbearable” for working out because it traps heat. Our head is where we lose the most heat, hence why we sweat. My next system will be a lace, I believe. Currently I’m rocking eurotape on the outsides, and a bond on the top. :)

[@Briggz30]

@@JakeKent ahh ok . yeah poly is the most realistic as far as an unexposed hairline, but does trap a lot of heat . So you also use the tape at the hairline as well then ?

[@JakeKent]

I do. It’s more “unrealistic”, but I’ve found a way to make it look natural

[@Briggz30]

@@JakeKent ahh cool - id love to see how you make it more realistic . maybe in a vid or even just in a message . thx

Hi Jake, Thank you for making these videos, I have a basis query on working out with hair system's & have see a lot of videos saying there is no issue at but for some reason I am unable to get the confidence to get a hair system & sweat or workout & this is the main reason holding me back from 5-6 months, Ca n u share ur experience on this matter please its request.

Hi M there. I’ve made quite a few videos on this topic. Please watch them.

Have you gone swimming in it and how long does the piece last ?

[@JakeKent]

I have gone swimming works fine! Piece Lasts different lengths of time depending on how you use it, how you take care of it, etc. I know some who wear units for 6 months

[@ProGoTones]

The one system that I had put on, I took off within a day. I threw it in the trash. A few months later I found it in a plastic bag. Turns out my then wife thought it was funny to take it out of the trash and keep it, without me knowing, to show people and make fun of me behind my back. I’ve never tried this again because of that.

[@philosophysique5419]

I'm sorry you married such a horrible person. That's really quite a disgusting thing to do to anyone let alone your partner.
