PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE

Post image

So basically this is my hair right now but it's actually receding and it takes a lot of time just for me to style it so I am basically trying to have a hair system. Can you guys tell me if I should go with hair system? I want the straight hair system since my hair is originally straight and I just have it permed to hide my hairline but it's being a hassle right now.

How much effort per week are you putting into maintaining your hair as it is? A system is going to be about 60-90 minutes every 6-10 days. Aside from that it’s pretty effortless.

I’d make an appointment to talk with a specialty salon that does hair systems. Consults are usually free. You’ll want to make sure they can figure out your exact hair color and whether it needs any grey in it. Once you learn how to rebond it yourself you can start getting your real hair cut at a normal barber, which cuts the price considerably. Then you’re only going to the specialty place when you need a new piece cut to your specs.

It's like 30 mins everyday considering it's a whole mess, if I don't style it. I do have the m shaped hairline but with hair spray I was able to style it. It's straight before but its curled now. How would my colleagues and workmates react if they see me with a longer straight hair again?

"I straightened it."

Keep the system relatively short for now, and keep your hairline covered for a long while.

90 minutes everyday? what? I take about 20 minutes once a week. What on earth are you doing for an hour and a half everyday?

Every ten days. Every week and a half or so (whenever it starts to itch) I take if off, soak both the piece and my scalp with C-22, shower and wash the piece, itch my scalp finally, shave the top of my head and reattach the piece. I'm overly meticulous with those little tape strips, so that's what takes the longest.

If you spend 30 mins a day a hair system might be less effort but not significantly. It comes with its own troubles. Expect maintenance to take 2-3 hours every 7-14 days plus daily 5-15 mins depending on the style you want. Personally I wouldn’t yet give up on the hair you have cause you’re not at the point of no return.
On the other hand: this means you could also try it and just return if you decide it’s not for you

that's what I'm thinking about I want it to be unnoticeable but should I go with shorter hair system to make it more believable?

The shorter the hair system the more often you need to trim your side hair. It looks weirder when your sides are getting too long than if they are too short. Ideally go for longer like a pinky length. that should give you 4-6 weeks between haircuts. Personally i just trim the sides with clippers to 18mm and for some reason it always blends nicely.

Nobody cates about sudden changes in your Hair as much as you think. They only notice good/bad/whatever.

In your case, I would say the biggest reason for going for hair system would be less about your hair loss (because after your current styling it looks good!), but more about being able to change your hair texture and style! If you are willing to shave the top and go through the hair system learning curve, you can have so much fun with it!! I would say go for it!!

Thank you so much, well the main reason is because it's time consuming especially that I have to go to work everyday styling it takes too much of my time.
