I had a hair system for 3 months before I decided to have a surgery. It has been 2 months since the surgery and can't see the results yet but I am happier than ever. yet, it does look fantastic the days you leave the salon. WOW, nobody can notice.. The coast of maintaining a good hair system is high. To maintain is a second job and on the top of that if you like to work out, be outside, practice sports, water sports, ski .. forget it.. it is not for you.. for a few minutes during the day, I felt good about it. for the rest 23 hours I felt misareble. if you are a canditate of hair transplant. go for it !
I think people can decide for themselves if it's "for them" or not.
As for sports, exercise, swimming, rain, a damn windy day... what would you do with your natural hair? You'd brush it. Run your hands through it. Dry it, even. Same as.
Maintenance is easy. Do it at home yourself! There's no cost involved, apart from a little adhesive. Alternatively, you just have to find a GOOD company.
If you find a good company, your hair will look like flawless, always. When I say flawless, I mean real. It's not going to look like a l'oreal cover shoot, obviously. Who's does?
It's that simple. And it's not as horrendous as wasting 2 years of your life, the equivalent of a small mortgage, and possible future scaring on a transplant.
That's just my view. Do some research - make up your own minds :-)
I have seen some guys with hair system and you will know that it's not natural. Nobody will have a such dense hair when you are in your 50's so I hope people make some wish decision about hair system
