r/HairSystem

Hey everybody, i'm about to buy my first system soon and would like to get a curly one.

Anybody wearing curls with a lace base? Is there a shop you would suggest?

Curious to see your results!

This would be my first system. I linked up with someone local who has been installing and styling systems for clients for over a decade. In talking with her, she's recommending that I go with a poly system; no lace or even hybrid.

I told her that I'm an active person. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week, I sometimes run, swim and I also like to go in the sauna at the gym. I also sweat easily. Even after telling her this, she still recommends that I go with a full poly system. Telling me that it is easier to take off and reapply, holds better than lace/hybrid and also lasts longer.

Everything that I read on the internet is telling me to at least go with a hybrid system for how active I am. Can someone help me out with this? She is very popular and has been in the system game for a while now but I'm seeing conflicting information here.

I just did my very first reinstall on my own, kinda failed the first attempt but mostly got it on the second

But I'm feeling no itch or pressure from the unit on my head and the glue is only felt on the edges of my scalp (I used 2 layers of ghostbond)

And while obviously this feels great it makes me wonder if I did something wrong and that a fresh reinstall should be felt on the head

The system is lace....that's all I know honestly

I’ve had a system since early March and I think it looks great, ESPECIALLY when I go to the salon and that first few days it looks phenomenal. But long term the salon just won’t work for me financially. I get it bonded once a month for $120 (including haircut ect). I also have pretty intense retrograde alopecia so blending with the sides is a task. Could anyone be blunt and tell me how hard it’s going to be go buy my own system, getting the color right and cutting it? I would like to ask my salon the specs of the system but I’m afraid they’ll realize I want to start doing it on my own.

For those unfamiliar, a hair system is the best as far as I can tell, solution to baldness. It is essentially a hair piece that is glued and taped on that is intended to stay on for weeks at a time. You can shower, swim, etc with it. Each hair system lasts up to 4 months in my experience.

I’m actively trying not to be too conscious about my hair system.

“I hope it looks natural” is a constant thought in my head.

But I realised after I met all my friends (after the system), that nobody cares! They just asked, “Got a new haircut? Looks good!” THAT’S IT.

So please, I know this sub is very helpful, but don’t go too deep into analysing your hairline😭

I got a system for not being conscious about my hairline, so if I’m still doing that, it’s not worth it. You’ll automatically feel better when people appreciate you.

Also, I feel most of the people who do notice a system are the ones who already wear one or are considering one😂. So, you’re in the same boat.

All of you look beautiful, don’t worry about it.

Hi there . I \[25M\] am balding since 20 with diffused thining on my scalp but the sides and back are still healthy. Initially I fell for "just shave it bro" meme but now I realized that as a bald man you are cooked in 2026 So I have started using finasteride but I am afraid that it's too late at this point after years of ignoring hairloss. I am concerned that even if I do a hair transplant results won't be impressive and I don't want to spend a bunch of money in "better than nothing". Now I started to look at the direction of the hairsystem but there is only one salon in my country which sells them and they are not socially acceptable either so I only have one shot because of this I want to take advice from people who have experience with HS's.

1. How realistic are hairsystems ? If exposed let's say on wind my reputation will be ruined.

2. Is daily maintenance that hard ? I want to do a daily wear - remove in the evening and install at the morning before going to the job. I doubt that I will fall asleep with it.

3. I have a very active lifestyle I am dancing as a hobby , I go to the gym and love hiking is it even suitable for my lifestyle ?

Thank you to all

I’ve had Bellami hair extensions for the last two years, but my new hairdresser said she can get me cheaper ones. But that being said she wasn’t able to order any and my hair appointment is in two weeks. She said for me to go ahead and order what I want, but I have no idea where to order my hair extensions and if I order from Bellami, I would have to pay full price.

What is everyone ordering and are they good quality?

I’m looking for good quality sew in extensions to last at least a year but aren’t gonna cost me 1k!

One dead giveaway of a hair system is when the hair does not match the person’s age, skin, or overall look.

I see this a lot. Someone may have very dry or wrinkled skin, but their hair system is long, silky, thick, and perfectly smooth. It ends up looking unnatural because the hair and face do not work together.

My advice is to choose a hair texture, density, length, and style that matches your age, skin, and natural appearance. The goal should not be perfect hair. The goal should be believable hair.

Another thing to watch is movement. A good hair system should move naturally with your forehead. When you raise your eyebrows or make facial expressions, the front hairline should not look frozen or disconnected.

Small details make a big difference. The most realistic hair systems are usually the ones that look age appropriate, have the right texture, and move naturally with the face.

Anybody dye their bio hair to hide grays? I have a lot and it makes me look ten years older than I am. How does it go having to maintain the dye to match your system?

I’m also curious if anyone knows of a dye that matches a stock hair system color. Thanks
