This Might Be The BEST Hair System For Working Out / Sweating!

Thanks brother!

[@eddie9165]

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.

[@jimgolding5779]

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!

[@Chin715]

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?

[@hashmo101]

You look SO good in this video. This beard style really squares off your jaw

[@JakeKent]

thanks for the feedback

[@ross965]

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!

[@paulxberg1486]

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

[@JakeKent]

Incredible! Glad to hear!

[@andresgodoy5418]

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.

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!

[@henriqueportela3936]

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.

@@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.

[@joshgates2671]

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.

[@JakeKent]

Hmm I might try that eventually!

[@JakeKent]

The one thing I’m not keen on is when glue seeps out and gets in the hair. Have you had this issue before?

[@joshgates2671]

@@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.

[@joshgates2671]

@@JakeKent yup and makes placement much easier too

[@toddk4115]

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

[@JakeKent]

Hmm. What hairstyle do you wear?

[@toddk4115]

@@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.

[@toddk4115]

@@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?

[@ohh_dannyboi8731]

What system is it? Where did you get it? Love the look!

[@platinumbezel]

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.

[@richardb607]

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!

@Jake Kent hehe. Well maybe once I get an actual haircut. It's way too long right now. :)

[@SykesMate]

@@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.

[@richardb607]

@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.

[@Makindealz]

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

[@DonnyFM]

Where in miami you went?

[@Olim22]

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!

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.

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)!

[@ianbrown5955]

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.

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.
