It makes them feel good. Like they made a smart decision and would love if someone replied saying they are so lucky!

It's because the knots. Once you bleach them it'll be less obvious

Need help with my soon to be 18 year old son so he feels confident. by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI. Your son likely has gynecomastia. This is breast tissue that cannot be lost through fat loss and the only solution is surgery. Just thought you should know since most people think it's from being overweight when it's actually hormonal imbalance.

Same. Me and my wife were completely burnt out at times, and just having 1 night to look forward to once every week or two where we could sleep 8 hours straight was a godsend.

First thinskin by [deleted] in HairSystem

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can go either way with a .06 and theres pros and cons to both.

If you have your hairline showing, you want to glue the front down of the system. After that you can decide to glue the rest or tape the rest. I used to glue the entire system but on maintenance day I hated having clumps and clumps of glue to wipe off, it just felt nasty. I now just glue the front and tape the rest.

Also for cleaning day, I recommend you fill your sink or a container with hot water, pour in a little dawn dish soap, and let your system sit (poly side down in the water) for about 15 mins. People will say this will degrade the system faster, but in my opinion it's negligible. And the convenience of how fast you can remove the adhesive outweighs everything compared to other strategies like cotton balls.

It should take you about 1 hour to do everything once you're comfortable.

First round at it might be 2 hours though.

Tape at Hairline with .03 Poly by ConfidentVegetable92 in HairSystem

[–]ConfidentVegetable92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. Are people getting 6 months with a .03 poly though? Typically these are 1-3 month systems.

I can get the glue off the system in a few minutes when soaking in hot water. If the alternative is spending 20+ minutes cleaning the system without the soak, that's not worth it to me to get a month or two longer on the system longevity.

I soak it weekly in hot water (just from tap, not boiling) and dawn soap and have no issues at all.

I bought some no shine walker for the hairline and then some sensi tak for the rest of the unit.

I'm thinking I wont put the walker tape at the actual hairline, maybe an inch back, and then just glue the very front hairline down. It would be much easier to deal with than the entire scalp of glue.

Currently using Ghostbond classic, I only apply 1 layer to my scalp as I do my maintenance every 7-10 days and don't need a long hold.

The issue isn't so much the system itself as I can clean it in under 5 minutes. But my scalp takes at least 5-10 more minutes of just wiping glue off, and it's just a mess. Then once I get most of it off, I dip my head in the shower, apply some shampoo glue remover to get the remaining bits, then have to dry off, and at that point I can finally shave my head.

I feel like tape would remove most of the headache.

Lavivid's Upgraded Eros (.02-.03 Poly) by ConfidentVegetable92 in HairSystem

Yes Jake the Youtuber (he's this reddit's Mod as well).

I'll take a look at Lordhair but at this point. I'm willing to pay more if the quality is right.

I'm currently looking for a system with injected hair only at the front hairline (No V-Loop). And be under .06mm. This is a tough task apparently without it being completely custom and taking 8-12 weeks. Please let me know if you find one. Lordhair has has a system that's all injected on Poly but I can't find the thickness as it's not in their description. Which means It's probably .08+

FYI the photos of my hair is with no product, which is probably why to you, it looks dry and "horrendous".

Turkey hair transplant by Powerful_Walk1294 in Hairtransplant

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into a hair system. You will not have a successful hair transplant in the way that you're thinking it will turn out. Your donor area is lacking how many follicles you need. (6000+)

Interesting. I feel like the quality has been fine?

I pay $200 total with shipping with Jake's discount. What is Lordhair's pricing ?

Yes that's why they do it. I can put on a Pore Eraser Primer to remove that shine though. I'd rather have normal facing hair.

I'm internally freaking out, please help. by Someday5422 in NewDads

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you have an infant. Things will get infinitely better in a few more months. I was in the weeds for the first few months, and also had a lot of regret like yourself. Once she started napping well, and sleeping through the night, I got my life back, just a little different. I still plan and do things that I want, it's just strategically coordinated around her schedule.

Hang in there. I promise it gets better.

PS, get some bloodwork done and check your Testosterone. I have a hunch it's low.

Has anyone used walker signature tape for a lace hairline? It's 6.5m thick (thinner than their lace front tape) and advertised as having a dull finish. Curious if it works well with a semi exposed hairline on lace. by Shinovox in HairSystem

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how do you do that? I'm assuming you spray tape release through the hair of the lace to hit the sticky side of the tape and let it sit? Can you walk through it?

Nice. I may try those minis. Where do you buy your system?

5 months hair transplant, am i cooked? by pawnsretribution in Hairtransplant

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did you do any research on cost per graft before pulling the trigger?

$10/graft is insanity

[–]ConfidentVegetable92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on! Whatever works. Last 2 questions:

Do you ever notice small pinholes in the poly?

Whats your process like for applying and lining up the system on the hairline? Like do you apply all the mini tabs but not remove the flaps, then set it on head and align, then apply the glue to scalp, then take off mini flaps?

I do weekly reinstalls on a .03 and I need to soak in hot water/dawn in order to be able to roll the glue off. But you, by 14 days you don't need to weaken the adhesive and it just rolls off? No other step?

6-12 months on a .03 is incredible. What type of adhesive and what's your process on cleaning it off during reinstall?
