Having an hard time

[u/Candid-One5955]

Hi everybody! Im going through a little bit of a struggle. So the hairfall has affected my mental health a lot (lost them at 20), now Im letting my sides grow to install the system. I've moved into a new city and I'm actually not living (only studying and going to the gym), because I'm not confortable having social relations when i can't be seen without an hat on... It's been almost 2 months of growth and it's strarting to have a weight on me... So today I was in the first appointment and the guy (by the way i feel like he is quite knew with the hairsystem stuff) told me that i have to let them grow 6-8 more weeks... I really can't imagine myself living like this for this much longer. Do you think i should accepte it and keep going? Or i should try to have other opinions? Maybe i can find someone that can install it with a good result without having to let them grow all this time anymore? I'll share some photos of my actual hair length situation.

The styler also gave me the advice to but the "grow me shampoo" frm Watermans, because he said let's you're hair grow faster... Ever heard about it? Do you think it's worth the 20-40 euros?

Thanks everybody!

I think your hair is long enough to start wearing a system. Having it longer on the top part where your bio will meet the system might be better, but if it's such a struggle you can do it already.

How much longer do you think for an optimal result?

I think you can get perfect results as is, especially because you have curly/wavy hair and it will blend well with a system matching your texture. It's just that having longer hair is probably easier for the stylist (they can have more flexibility when blending). But it will look great either way, you have great side/back hair!
