This is my first post chaps . I was searching the web to see if I could find info on people that have had hair systems and wanting to ditch them and found this site and think I’m in the right place !
I’ve had a system for 11 years . I had it fitted when I was 25. The last 3 or 4 years I’ve had a more expensive system they call a titanium and it’s amazing . Not as dense as the first type I had . But the maintainance is getting me down. Every few days I’m having to clean the broken down glue from the front and reattach . I’ve been thinking very stark fly about taking it off and shaving my head . I’ve given myself till August to do it. This is because I’ll be away in holiday for around 3 weeks so will be good to get some sun on the scalp! When it’s off when I have a refitting there’s a clear line where the unit comes to and I think it may take a while to fade.
Anyone gone though this themselves ?
I can't imagine going through the maintenance and cost. There have been several guys here that once had a system and have shaved it off.
A shaved head is an accepted hairstyle now. You will probably feel relief not to have to deal with a hairpiece. There is a bit of work to keep a shaved head, but I enjoy the routine, and shave everyday. A smooth bald head feels awesome. Good luck with your adventure.
I agree with reddog. Keep in touch as your adventure progresses and good luck. Don't forget sunscreen when you first shave.
I ditched my "system" in May of 2016 and to date have saved over $8,000 (no, this is not an exaggeration) in Hair Club for Men fees. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
Here is my "system": Gillette Mach 3, Shave Brush and a Quality Soap.
If you are wanting to do it, I suggest you do not need to wait until August. Go ahead and do it now. The skin tone will even out in time.
I only have to re-do my hairline, every two weeks, and my system stays on for three weeks, in a very hot climate. Maybe you have the wrong type of base or glue for your body chemistry?
But, change is good... maybe shave your head, and give up hair for a while?
