How to reduce density with hair removing cream by applying on base..??

[@connect500]

I order my hairsytems and bring it to my stylist to have it cut in. Can I wash it a couple times and comb out the waves and curls first. Its comes long and curled before being cut and styled may be a little more work but will save time and wont have to worry about the puffiness once its cut and styled. Will that work?

[@shabsk381]

What an insight!. The installing salon told me not to wash my brand-new system for 3 days. I felt it was too bouncy. You nailed it!

[@Travis_Gixxer]

Nailed it with this one Jake….that style is perfect on you 😊👌🏽 First time use, I wash the scalp side of the base with dish soap, and the hair with head & shoulders….seems to work 😂 once it’s on, I slick it with brilliantine or pomade….I wear it slicked back Chicano style though 😂 Had my new one Viking battle braided yesterday…. 0.3mm base and it look awesome…completely invisible! These things are more style versatile than the wearers courage often allows. Great content bro…keep up the good work 👌🏽

duddde i want to see

[@Travis_Gixxer]

@@JakeKent I’ll ping you a pic on Insta

[@nickknight8065]

Best look ever, Jake. That's the most undetectable system I've ever seen you wear. Keep it!

[@Fred-pe5qe]

How long can the poofyness last? It’s so hard to judge the length in the salon because I usually hate it right away to be honest. I also don’t want it to be too short and hard to style. Any suggestions? I’ve had mine a week and still seems a little poofy

[@tmg06d]

Thanks for this one Jake. As for your system, this is the style I like the best on you. Looks good brotha.

[@Andy-ri1ns]

Seriously man - stick with that style for the next 5 years, it's perfect for you. 👏

[@Andy-ri1ns]

Also - congrats on 5k!

[@toddhefer6084]

Looks great huh

[@Lemonsqueezer-e2l]

Cool info thanks man I’m 10 days into having my first unit and it was great the first 4-5 days now,it’s just wavy at the front and has alittle puffiness I’ll wash a bit more often now and hope it does the trick

[@5driedgrams]

How is it now?

[@librarosas1105]

Thank you! This is what I needed! I just got my 3rd hair system and at first, it looked good but it became poofy in my eyes.

[@lillishawker5559]

Can anyone provide info about what system this is. If it's custom, what was asked for?

[@dariolamela]

Thank you so much for this video, I got one placed today and was starting to panic by how it looks so poofy.

[@camac7988]

Bro what is your hair density ?

[@tbuzz6940]

Hey Jake, what shampoo and leave-in conditioner should I use for a synthetic hair system to use in the shower?

[@Enigma2011Nation]

How do you wash it everyday and the glue doesn’t come off or the hair system doesn’t lift?

[@saile90]

Hi Jake, which tape(s) or glue's are you using with this new (ultra) thin full poly unit from Lavivid? Best look so far! Keep up the good work!

[@chevisross2044]

Please right back and let me know what systems you use and where I can get one . We have the same shape of face and would like to know what system you have on In this video

[@thezoneout]

Hi mate really like your videos can I ask in my 2nd month when I brush I get hair shredding doesn't seem alot but is getting more frequent I am following everything on youtube. How would that be ?

[@edmondjames7154]

Thanks Jake! Just got mine and it was exactly this, puffy & unnatural. Will take your advice for sure

[@ElZilchoYo]

Better when you buy a new one to wash it a few times and let it sit before wearing it. Otherwise you'll need to spend a few days looking like a mushroom

[@edmondjames7154]

That's wise

[@inapropiatekid]

fckn love you man, thanks to you I feel So confident with my unit. Doing my own maintenance. THANKS to you I have a new Hobbie which is bein a Hair System enthusiast

[@JakeKent]

So good to hear that ❤️❤️

[@darrendavies1102]

great advice again,,,, can i ask a question as you know hair systems fade,,, would you go one stage darker than your hair sample so when it does lose couture it may be better after the first month and last longer,, thank you sir

[@srg2972]

But I was told to NOT wash it for at least two days, to ensure a good seal of the glue. ?

[@Truthteller777-7]

Only needs 24 hours to cure

[@nishan207]

Your best look so far!

[@ysldagger1117]

Hey! Love your videos - I've finally decided (after months of watching your videos) to get a hair system. Just had my consultation yesterday! I had a question though - my stylist that I went to recommended that since my hairline is still nearly intact, I should leave a little bit of it in the front and attach my hair system behind it. I was wondering if you've heard of this before and whether or not you recommend going about this way as to completely shaving down and replacing my current hairline (eg. in terms of maintenance, durability, comfort, etc.). Thanks!

[@seetherryan1]

I have seen some videos where they do this, they do it to make the hairline look even more natural. If I was you I'd try it you can always shave it off next install.

[@bradmoran5229]

The final treatment is to keep the hair color from fading.

[@dvndroneography]

Jake, what did you say to people at work when you got one on? I love mine, but not sure how I'm going to be able to walk into work with it. Any good lines?

[@JakeKent]

you know man, i've honestly never had any issue with people talking about it

[@dvndroneography]

@@JakeKent Jake, no one at work said anything or even noticed I was wearing one this week. Come to think of it, if I saw someone wearing a hair system I’d think it would be kinda rude to even bring it up

[@sitbpr]

5K way to go! congratulations 👏👏

[@kvnd7331]

Hey have you heard of Motley Crew Barber Company in Massachusetts? Would you recommend them? I'm having a hard time assessing good options by me as someone new to this, if you have any recommendations or know anything about that area

[@jakeowens1253]

Great topic Jake! And great info for guys looking to do this 👍 I got a light density and after first install i got home and freaked out 😂 Was like "this was a mistake!" Hair was SOOO Poofy and just BIG! It honestly looked like I head a dead animal on my head 😂"Poofyness" subsided significantly over next 2 days and I breathed a huge sigh of relief! It looked way better by day 3! Great info and reasons behind poofy new hair, and great advice to correct this 👍💪❤

[@JakeKent]

thanks jake!!!

[@jakeowens1253]

[@jharris67]

This is exactly how I feel today, yesterday I went to the salon and had my first install. I am researching like crazy to figure out what we did wrong and how to fix it.

[@Mrbarryofhollywood]

Great cut

[@jeffreyamado5230]

These things cannot feel good glued all over your head. Just go for the buzzed head look which is extremely popular these days for both guys who are balding and guys who have a lot of hair.

[@RockRock-fs2zk]

You can't tell if this guy have hair system, stop yapping man

[@jeffreyamado5230]

@@RockRock-fs2zk If you can't see the guys hairline in any spot on his forehead...then it's a wig/system. Supposedly the wigs/systems used by actors in movies are made so very thin at the base that they actually do look like a real hairline...the problem is that it takes an army of hairstylists hours to put those on and they have the longevity of about 8 to 10 hours before they start falling apart.

[@5driedgrams]

Dude, you feel nothing. Trust me. I only feel that I have a system when I put my head on the pillow. The rest of the day I don't even notice. And it's a 0.08 (thick) microskin.

[@browningslifeinthephilippi7791]

Nice topic I struggled with that for a while.

[@marbman1587]

I quite like that bouffant look

[@1thebeatlesfan]

You're looking great Jake!!

[@addie03]

Use really tight hat or just like doo rag on top will settle it down and make it look more natural

[@Travis_Gixxer]

This, 100%! I wear a wave cap to sleep in and it stops tangles and knots when sleeping and flattens it down 👌🏽

[@andreluizpostigo848]

That’s what I do too , works every time

[@PaulO-se6nl]

Poofy in the UK is a derogatory term for an effeminate gay person lol I had to watch your video to see what you meant, you meant volume..

[@toddhefer6084]

This style looks amazing! God Bless in Jesus Christ Name Amen.

[@ananp9390]

Looking great✅

[@axvgeek6333]

You should include the name and density of your unit whenever you make a video. Why don’t you? European men have the greatest difficulty finding a comparable system. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Put it in the description box and tell us.

[@estebanrico2124]

He always does, he talked about it in his previous video, it's a custom unit.

[@Travis_Gixxer]

If you’re in Europe, check out NobleHairMax on eBay….I buy mine from them, and they do lower density units in European hair types for around £140 (little more in euros) delivered by FedEx. They’re very good quality 👌🏽
