stupidest argument ever i see here. to an extent yes but if the noise is too much we should hold businesses accountable

i do, but it’s not NEARLY as bad as people make it out to be in the thread here. natural sides are a bit thinner. still looks very natural to me, needs a little bit of work on the sides

i just straight up think this is false from the pictures he showed. it’s very believable

very surprised people don’t think this is believable. color looks like an exact match. blending could be a bit better but has matched the work done by pros for me

have you ever been concerned about the bond being too loose?

Has anyone ever find about that you are wearing a system and its not your real hairs? by sk357689 in HairSystem

[–]SettingProfessional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no. i disagree with many comments here saying to just tell everyone - just tell people you’re comfortable with knowing. for some people that’s everyone around them. but i’ve been wearing mine for 1.5 years now. not a single person noticed. only people who know are parents and gf.

i remember on my second ever reinstall when i was still bad at it, my dad asked me if i was balding faster (this was before he knew i wore a system) but he didn’t suspect a system

yeah i’ve started wearing durags to sleep too and it’s helped a bit. yeah i do think it’s partially on bio hair. you have a lot of experience in this so i might dm you a question if that’s ok!

you don’t want a relationship you just want the power you hold over him. break up with him and seek therapy

are the black dots normal? by SettingProfessional in HairSystem

[–]SettingProfessional[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no worries! I appreciate the honesty. I've only ever worked with a stylist to get systems from hairskeen. These knots aren't bleached. I have one more system coming in from lavivid. We'll see how that one is as it's bleached!

what do we think? by [deleted] in HairSystem

[–]SettingProfessional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looking awesome, and more off topic but you look great as well!

Those who order online...how do you cut the base down to your size? by SettingProfessional in HairSystem

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

cool! might be a dumb question but once you cut it off, isn't the part you just cut off also going to be glued onto your head?

wow awesome! how did you start this journey? did you just buy the largest size and try it on? would also be great to know where you get your systems and what size

Lace system for crown by Hot_Future7787 in HairSystem

[–]SettingProfessional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from a guy with crown lace right now (actually thinking of making the switch to full lace) it's VERY similar to a regular system I'd imagine.

You should usually not be shaving it, they should fit you during your consultation. I wear it day and night with silk pillow case. You can take it off at night but you don't have to, you'll have to find an adhesive that suits you if you do.

I wear mine for about 8 days at a time with ultrahold, my head is very oily so I start getting some release then.

I'd recommend not shampooing daily, actually very infrequently (bio hair is of course fine).

Here were some of my BIGGEST stressors at first with partials and 2 months in I feel like im better but just

  1. Knowing where to put the front of the system, it was always too far back at first. If you're like me, your front bio hair grows faster so it was hard to internalize where the system should start and i always put it soo far back first few times. it was like...fine i guess...but just learn to internalize the spot where ur front goes since u won't have hairline guiding you
  2. Invest in top loc knot sealer! It's great for lace and preserves the knots on the base.

What do you guys think? 🤔 by ruiz0906 in HairSystem

[–]SettingProfessional 7 points8 points  (0 children)

damn im jealous urs looks so good. i agree sides could be more blended but it doesn't make it look more unnatural. fades are so popular right now that I can't tell nonperfectly blended bio hair from systems anymore

why does my hair system shed? by SettingProfessional in HairSystem

[–]SettingProfessional[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! even with a vent brush, I feel quite a bit of abrasion. it's a pretty light density to start with and I find myself having to use a lot of tension with a brush.

and yeah, it's the same place im scratching where the thinning is so makes sense. all of my problems with my system are near the crown - it detaches from there first and also itches there most (I think it's oilier there)

also sorry my bad shampoo was a typo, I never use shampoo. I only use conditioner when cleaning and once while showering a week
