Hair Systems + Oily Scalps - DOES IT WORK? [ mens wig / toupee / non surgical hair replacement ]

[@mikeybally4338]

Your hair is perfect for your face. The density and the slick back look really showcases your hairline realistically.

[@JakeKent]

thanks!

[@mikeybally4338]

@@JakeKent one last thing. Do u wear hats with your piece. I’m a hat guy and would love hair but I love my hat. Lol

[@ryanphillips9004]

I have very oily skin and workout at the gym everyday and my system lasts 5-7 days with a hairline touchup in between. Its absolutely possible to wear a system. Most bonds are engineered to work with oily skin, such as Ghost Bond. Awesome video as usual. Really appreciate you doing the research to help answer the many questions that still exist with hair systems

[@JakeKent]

thanks for the feedback ryan. would love to have you on the channel ;)

[@CrossChaiin]

Hey Ryan , What base do you use? Lace or poly? Cuz lace won't stick on my oily scalp for an hour :') BTW am using walker glue and it's difficult to deal with

[@goata007]

@Ryan I have oily and acne prone scalp. Do you have any issue with oil buildup causing scalp acne?

[@Suedeheadstudioinc]

You can also get Botox in your scalp, this will reduce sweating and oil production, yes it can be pricey but it’s a solution that’s lasts for months and if your having bond issues this really does work, I have a super oily scalp and sweat at the gym 5x a week

[@estebanrico2124]

I have an extremely oily scalp, but thank God for Accutane, I started taking it right before I had my first hair system installed.

[@JakeKent]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@leightonsonny6516]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf these days :)

[@raybronson5539]

@Leighton Sonny definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@doyoudave]

Hey Mate!! great content, thanks for sharing all this concerns.. I am new with all this hair system world. I am leaning.. I feel comfortable but I feel my hairline doesn’t get a great level. Maybe it’s because I have an oily skin I think or I sweat but just in ny head. I don’t know I should keep going with my system. :(

[@Calum-mk5io]

Hi Jake, I absolutely love your videos, I was just wondering, in your video " This Might Be The BEST Hair System For Working Out / Sweating!" you talk about a French lace system with a poly border and I can't find one that matches it, do you have that exact name/link for that hair system, as I keep very active, thanks and keep doing what you're doing!

[@stevenrobertson7643]

What about the chemicals of the glue being absorbed by the body through the scalp and possibly causing damage over time?

[@angryyoungman4389]

I do think it wouldn't cause much damage, And its the duty of FDA to approve the Skin Friendly products, And they conduct huge cosmetic trials! It would be as bad as effect of Lipstick on Lips. Which is insignificant, As I have seen no one who had worst effect by cosmetic products which finally it to make it market!

[@JakeKent]

^^^^

[@danielfrain246]

Jake could you advise on what to do when you get bond in the hair? Great channel btw. Regards from England.

[@ImEveryonesFriend]

ultra hold has toluene in it right? i have been using it just like you, but idk if I feel comfortable wearing it. Are you not worried about the carcinogenic effects?

[@JakeKent]

it has toluene. use it depending on your risk tolerance.

[@deanchenry]

Dawn dishwashing on scalp to final clean. Good enough for ducks and oil. Works for me. I get 7 days, maybe stretch 8 but the bond breaks down and goo in bio sucks.

[@JakeKent]

haha nice

[@tysontyson6053]

Get smp best decision ever

[@goata007]

do shampoos containing tea tree oil, nizoral penetrate the scalp through the hair system to be effective and also remove built-up sebum?

[@TRAIT0R4]

Isnt Max hold sport a glue? Cause I have it but if dont last as long as Ghostbond

[@jameshusentoff2953]

How many days a week can you work out without taking off the system

[@seand5517]

Hi Jake. How are you liking the poly again these days? I know you had said an older poly unit you had wasn't very breathable for you many months ago.

[@JakeKent]

this ultra thin skin seems to be fine in the colder climate, even with working out.

[@eliggy87]

jake, have u used any of the blumaan pomade or clays on ur hair system?

[@susangsijapati5097]

Hey Jake! I’m loving your videos and it’s really giving me the confidence to get myself a hair system. I want to know if you know any forums or websites I can visit and also general places I can visit for more info on hair systems and where to buy them. I live in California as well. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

[@JakeKent]

there are a few forums. one of the bigger ones has had a problem where new members couldnt join because the admin of the forum has gone MIA.

[@bobjazzman9038]

Thanks for gathering the info for us, it’s definitely useful.

[@JakeKent]

Glad it was helpful!

[@roccosophie6498]

I sweat, a lot! My natural hair is very oily. That said I can expect the tape to last about 4 days at best before the hairline becomes very visible. All I've ever used is tape. And after about 4 days it literally becomes, slime. So, thank you for this video!

[@JakeKent]

Thanks for sharing!! thats very interesting

[@venom7774]

Try skin prep and walker ultra control if hold I think then the tape

[@joeosullivan6534]

Rocco, has your bond time increased now that you're using a scalp protector? If so, how much? Thnx

[@Chris-fk3br]

I have a question, daft as this may sound I feel like you could answer it, I’m looking at getting a hair system, do you have to have a certain amount of hair loss before you become eligible ( if that’s the correct word) ?

[@JakeKent]

No, technically you could shave off your hair, no matter what how much you have, and attach a hair system

[@goata007]

Anyone with oily and acne prone scalp? Did hair system make your acne worse?

[@steveschneider8454]

Why do you use tape instead of Ghost Bond? I clean and shave every 2 weeks but my system last 8 weeks and only cost around $75 a month or $150 every 8 weeks.

[@JakeKent]

because ive found liquid adhesive melts when i work out

[@markcutter201]

Iv been looking all over KZbin and I would love to know if I could put blonde highlights put into my hair system , because I’m a barber and have a hairdresser friend who is willing to give it a go

[@williamcharles8628]

It would be risky, maybe do a test strand

[@JakeKent]

it is very tough to correctly hair that is color treated dark. make sure you visit a stylist. it will most likely cause some damage to the hair. from my intereactions with hair system manufacturers, they don't reccomend it. but i very large influencers dye the hair.

[@markcutter201]

Jake Kent thanks for the reply I really enjoy your channel , it’s good to know that we are all in it together

[@toddhefer6084]

Hey thank you for doing that research don’t have a hair system yet but I do have a oily scalp thank you ! God Bless in Jesus Christ Name Amen.

[@michaelgordon3241]

if you are going to wear it slicked back, go to a stylist and have them pluck thé hairline. It looks too defined. also more of a "U" type of hair line rather than the upside down U. Some bangs and/or mess it up a bit. Metrosexualize your hair lol. Mine is far from perfect I did my service ("install") last Sunday and a coworker asked me if I cut my hair and I laughed and told him it was a wig..I just styled it differently..he couldnt believe it..and my knots arent even bleached..but no one is scrutinizing your scalp. They can however see your hairline esp if its totally exposed. Mess it up a bit wear some bangs.Style it.Use product. Thé less perfect thé better. Every now and thén Ive been told my hair looks better right when I get out of bed rather than after I over style it. And then I have days when its like forget it gotta tame this rug...I have had a tendency to make mine look too perfect. 16 years into this and its a constant learning process and of course everyone will give you a different opinion of what they like ultimately its what you like that matters but sometimes out minds screw with us and its complicated which is why I often use thé cam on my phone rather than just a mirror To style because out eyes and lighting subjectively play tricks on us. Lighting is everything. In terms of styling often less is definitely more. Roughly 3 months into my current piece that I cut in myself and it actually looks better now..most would be throwing theirs out after 3 to 6 months...my currenr piece is very slighly less dense (like Ive mentioned before the place I get mine from are super durable...my hair on the sides has grown out from my failed undercut an almost perfect B+ blend with natural hair. If you scrutinize mine you can see the line between piece and natural hair if not carefully styled but overall blends well even though it needs a dye job. I am sharing this with you because at the end of thé day thé end result is what matters. And its always a work in progress Unfortunately no piece is 100% ready to be worn untill you style it as well as you can working within its limitations. Unlike réal hair these things are mendable. Remember thé piece works for you you dont work for the piece. Expériment with styling it. You have already discovered that you néed to work these pièces- style them-to get them to look good. You didnt like this one at first until you played with it and gave it volume etc. Thé slicked back expériment not thé best..I say this out of love not hate..you want to look your best. This is why I always récommend getting a piece and tweaking it along the way..instead of getting a new piece every 3 months learn to transform the one on your head until you have mastered how to style that one to your liking and even thén it will still néed tweaking And you have enough hair pièces for thé next 5 years lol and youre not even in this a full year. At least you dont have gray hairs coming in like me. I am sharing my expérience not because its particularly unique or intéresting but to show you that you can work with any décent piece to get it to look natural and good..its a constant work in progress and in thé future you could use some of your 130% density pièces and transform them into a réflection of you. You can either make your 130% density thinned out with shears and/or learn how to style denser pièces to look thinner. Before I clicked on your video the image that shows up before you click play really shows thé hairline with thé lighting. And ofcourse you can wear a piece with an oily scalp. I am super oily but i had mine on for 4 weeks probably couldve gotten another week out of it until I did my service last Sunday and I use plain old lace tape with the light blue peel off strips shaped like a boomerang. And when thé 130% density lose hair naturally from wear and tear, they start to look even better than if you got it thinned out at a salon. As far as adhesive is concerned,different strokes for different folks. Thé most important thing is learning how to bend thé piece to your will whether that means making a thicker piece look thinner or a thinner piece look thicker and so forth. I like starting out longer and denser and get haircuts and dye jobs along thé way...treating like you would with normal hair..

[@karollo1619]

I have oily skin. 3 days is max for me with scalp protector, dermal mud etc. :(

[@icyrunner2070]

Dang bro, do you still wear?

[@vijisyra5442]

does max hold sport work well with tape. is tape maintanance essential for weekly?

[@deadpool10001]

Based on your thumbnail, are you implying Bradley Cooper wears a hair system? Or did you just use his photo to show an oily scalp?

[@JakeKent]

i just searched for a picture of greasy hair. lol

[@codybaker7365]

Jake, (from what you know/have heard) how do hair systems hold up during hard exercise or combat sports? (Wrestling, BJJ, boxing, Etc.)

[@xFailPrincessx]

They won’t fall off after 1 round but if you plan on doing a sport like Jiu Jitsu regularly it will fall off during training eventually. I‘ve lost contact lenses in the past getting out of a headlock so there is no way a hair system could hold up. If you’re serious about both then you need to train without your hair system.

[@JakeKent]

eh. i think it requires more maintenance, and is it possible/legal to wear some kind of tight hat / beaning while grappling to prevent hair grabbing?

[@Calum-mk5io]

Hi mate I’m into BJJ/kickboxing etc as well and thinking of getting a hair system soon, I’m no expert but I think for striking sparring (boxing/kickboxing) it would be fine. But for BJJ I’m thinking of getting ear protectors like you see a lot of BJJ and wrestling guys wear. There are a lot that go over the top of your head and I think would provide a good safety net so you wouldn’t have to think about it too much

[@Calum-mk5io]

Or even if you could fine one like a scrum cap like what rugby players wear, that would probably be the most effective, I’m gonna try and find one like that

[@garykulhanek7698]

Pro Lab No sweat is absolutely great!

[@JakeKent]

they make great products

[@williamcharles8628]

I used max sport, I have a hard time apply it myself, it worked great when a professional applied, not when I did it myself

[@JakeKent]

you're having trouble applying scalp protector?

[@jdoe4983]

I have oily skin and use ghostbond which is known as a weaker glue. I still get 7 day solid holds showering every day, working out 4 days a week.

[@JakeKent]

Thanks for sharing! great feedback!

[@CrossChaiin]

What hair system are you using bro? lace or skin?

[@sleepmusic958]

Your hair looks real wtf

[@JakeKent]

thanks man!

[@bridawg24]

He's not wearing a LordHair system. That's rule #1 for a good look.
