Please Keep This Thread Alive With Pictures Of Your Hair System

[Hair Newbie]

I thought I'd create this thread to encourage everyone to share their photos here. Here is my today photos (16 pics) after 45 mins running on the treadmill and 45 mins weight training at the gym.

The pictures below are the same UTS system from the first posted (over 6 months old). I only wash it with water and don't use any hair products. I really think it helps extend the longevity of the hair system. The skin base still looks brand new and no color fade and hair shedding.

This is the link from few months ago. https://imgur.com/a/h6SmL7g

Good density but the hairline is odd

That looks amazing. The wet look suits it even more. It looks like your system is (even) more realistic now, after 4 months.

I find with my systems, they get better and more realistic as time goes on. My current UTS has lasted 8 months and was probably in the 'perfect' phase from months 3 to 6.

Your hair is looking proper GQ magazine front cover model, even after 4 months I'm still trying to perfect the style, I especially like your pics 3 and 4, I'm gonna use them as a guide this week while I style

@deg_dilemma damn that's a slick look. I'd never suspect it's a system even now with my hyper-sensitivity to systems. By the way are you constantly furrowing your brow because you just can't help striking a "sexy" pose with that perfect hair or are your wrinkles actually that deep?

@señor coconut great natural look as well. Perfect blend. Are those ash tones I see in the third pic or did you order some gray in your system?

It seems that a lot of systems "grow into their own" and acquire a natural ruggedness after about 4-6 weeks. @BaldBearded I think your three-month old system also looks better than your current one. New systems just seem to be too sleek and dense. That's how I feel now about my new system.

@señor coconut thank you so much for the compliments. I'm not always so confident of my hair, so it's nice to hear that you guys like it.

I tried lots of different styles over the past years and eventually I found one that suits me best - pictures 2 and 8. So this is the style I mostly use now. My age is 40-something so I can't always go for the GQ-style

Good luck with finding your perfect style too. Share more pics when you have it ready

@Laconian LOL I do tend to furrow my brow when I'm in a photo. Bad 'posing' habit from when I was young... but luckily I don't have wrinkles yet

Good to know you wouldn't suspect it's a system. I find it's best to cover (or at least partially cover) the hairline with just a few strands of hair. My system's weak point is the top/crown area: it's too dense and I find that people often look at the point specifically, probably wondering how come the hair is so thick. I will look to thin it out more today - I am getting my 8 month old system replaced today - exciting!

Funny that - I am also hyper-sensitive to systems now. I look at guys' hair a lot and often think that "it's too good, it can't be real"! So in my mind, I try to make my hair look less perfect, which means hopefully it looks more realistic.

It's good to share pictures, we all learn together

New system today....

 

[new2this]

Custom system from SlyHair company in NYC. Custom curl and color match, color has faded a bit so it’s even closer now (and back on my head for anyone who saw my panic thread last week)

 

[AxC123]

My turn
First pic in July when piece was cut in. Was a bit wavy. Custom piece (NWL) 1b, 100%grey at hairline, then gradual greying to 80% at back. Light density, swiss lace with poly side and back.

Other pics taken today, after 3 months. Shedded a bit and soon at end of life. Now very straight now.
