I have been wearing for 2 years.
What I found is that good looks are overrated. When I was balding (before the hair system), I would stare at every guy with a full head of hair with jealousy and envy.
But after wearing a hair system for 2 years, I realize having hair on my head did not make a big difference in my life quality.
Yes, I looked "better" and younger when I looked at myself in the mirror, but I did not feel any better on the inside.
I did not find that my confidence or self esteem increased. Maybe it was even bad for my mental health.
For me, it felt like a band aid solution - it covered up the problem...sweeped it under the rug. But the real problem was a lack of self acceptance and fixating too much on my looks.
I would see guys in the gym with shaved heads and I would respect them more because here I was, paying hundreds of dollars a month to attach hair to my head, worrying about my hairline lifting, worrying about people detecting I'm wearing a hair system... and those guys just accepted it.
As I get older into my mid-30's I realize now that happiness is internal. It does not come from external things.
And yes, I might look a bit uglier without the hair system. And yes, I might not have the same options when it comes to dating. But it's fine. I would rather find a girl who accepts me for the way I look. Who cares if shes not a bombshell beauty? Every girl you date, you get bored of their looks after 1 year anyway. I'd rather get a girl based on my confidence/personality and who I could be my true self around. If I have to find a less prettier girl who accepts me for me, then that's totally fine.
On a side note, I do have a girlfriend. Shes okay with my decision and just wants me to keep the beard and told me it's a good idea to shave my head and to save lots more money per month. But the reality is, I don't even care if she leaves me either if I don't have hair - that just means she wasn't the right girl for me.
I don't want to dissuade anyone from getting a hair system. Give it a shot like I did. Every balding man's journey is different. I just decided it is time for me to surrender.
