Hi guys, I'm basically providing an update to a post I made on here back in 2020, during the height of Covid-19, describing my struggles with hair loss as someone who was barely out of their teenage years. You can read it here, but to summarise, I posted some pictures of my situation, described how quickly it had progressed and how much it was affecting me mentally. This thread that I'm making today is a success story thankfully, so for those of you who are on the fence about getting a hair system, you should use this as a tool to push yourself to go ahead and get it done.
Since 2020, my whole outlook on life has changed thanks to this whole hair loss situation. Back then, the hair loss situation was such a huge obstacle for me to overcome, but since I managed to tackle the problem head-on, it's given me so much confidence for tackling other issues in my life. Any time any sort of problem comes up in other areas of my life, I just remind myself how I was able to apply myself to this problem and find a solution that worked for me.
I've also gained so much social confidence. Whilst wearing a hair system, I've had lots of positive experiences with women, whereas before, I never had much experience or luck with either as soon as hair loss started kicking in. Previously, I just wasn't considered by girls since I had such a glaring issue with my hairline and my confidence too as a result. At the minute, I've got a long-term girlfriend and have done for a few years now and she's never even asked about my hair situation. But I can wholeheartedly say that without the hair system giving me some confidence, I never would have been able to date her or any of the other girls I did. Nowadays, even if I had to shave my head, I think I'd be much better equipped to deal with dating, since I now have some experience under my belt.
I graduated my university course in 2022, but during my time at university, I was wildly popular compared to how I'd been in school. I had so many positive experiences with making friendships during this time. Now that I'm a more confident individual, I'd always naturally gravitate hanging out with whatever group is most popular wherever I go. This is a stark contrast to what things were like for me before. I totally put this down to me finally just fulfilling my potential and being the person I was supposed to be if I got my hair genetics from my dad's side and not my mum's side (my brother is 2.5 years younger than me, yet he's a NW1 and has always been very popular).
Since 2020, I've perfected the whole hair system process, from start to finish - I can order a hair system, cut the hair system's hair style myself with scissors and a trimmer, remove it, clean it, re-attach it (using glue, tape or a combination if I feel like it), dye it and also maintain the length of the biological hair on the sides of my head myself. I'm completely self-sufficient and this makes me feel like I won't really have to worry about hair loss again.
I do hope that in another 5 years, once I reach my 30s, I'll maybe re-consider and see if I'm comfortable with getting SMP and a shaved head. But I think, ultimately, I take comfort in the fact that the choice is mine - I know I can wear hair systems as long as I want and that I'll never have to shave my head against my will.
All in all, I think hair systems gave me a 2nd shot at having a youth and I took the opportunity. I'd urge anyone else going through the same thing to go ahead with it.
Here's a picture of the style I normally go for:
If anyone has any questions about my experiences or is looking for my advice, I'd be glad to try and help.
