I'm not surprised hair systems are taking off. People need a good head of hair, especially in their youth these days and not everyone is a transplant candidate, not everyone can take finasteride or respond to it, not everyone can get the ideal hairline location/forehead dimensions etc. The surgery only option may leave some people looking bald still without a nice head of hair and worse even further donor balding. You can always find one surgeon to take you on even if you're not a candidate (money) but it will be poor returns. Social media puts further pressure on people. So even though only 1-3% of those with Androgenetic Alopecia are destined for Norwood 6-7, systems still apply to more men and as such the section is crucial in raising awareness and offering guidance to them.
Very true, Wolf Pack. You often see comments on hair system forums and videos along the lines of "why don't you just get a transplant?". People are led to believe they have a menu of options to cure hairloss, but usually that is not true. If you are in the Jude Law category, with a bit of graceful recession at the temples, transplants work great, but if that is the full extent of the problem why would you bother? For guys with NW3+ hairloss transplants are far less effective. You may not look slick bald, but you don't get what the world thinks of as a nice head of hair. For that, the only viable option for most guys is a system. That is why it is important that we destigmatise this option.
