Hello All,
I got my virtual reality system on 4/20. My side hair is super short and I barely had enough hair growth on the back to make it blend. However – its done. Give me your thoughts I am posting some pictures. Here are my thoughts and experiences.
1. I had a lapband about 6 years ago and am down to 200, was about 450. I also battle plaque psoriasis so I am self-conscience guys – so go easy on me.
2. I think the color match is good and seeing my scalp is neat.
3. This is expensive, I paid about 1600 down and pay about 200 a month.
4. I can come and go anytime and they will fit you in no matter what – more on that later. They also email you back and call you directly – I have had two checkup calls from the owner of the business and its just 5 days later.
5. They are open about many things at my salon but would not let my girlfriend go back with me – I did not push it, but it was a little weird.
6. I was totally amazed when I got the system. I asked them to cover the mirror (mistake) but I went in bald and came out looking super sexy I think. I think I look years younger – I turned 33 on 4/20.
7. I was told to wash it with their shampoo and conditioner – about 7 bucks a piece (good size bottle) but they gave me a complete kit and said they would do so each year, plus they gave me some Paul Mitchell product because it was my birthday. They say to use a spray in conditioner, their product, twice a day to keep the hair moist and protected, it almost has a hairspray hold and smells like nothing at all – very misty.
8. I have not been made yet. I went in to have my license renewed, just lucky timing, and the lady said, “Why did you shave your head before, you have beautiful hair.” I responded – “I was being a rebel.” Did not know what else to say.
9. I have noticed both men and women look at me VERY differently now (sexy looks from both, and I have been given numbers from different women, strange for me) – maybe because my head looks less pointy with hair on.
10. The system can itch, I asked a lady at work about it and she said just to tap it or pat it, she has a weave.
11. No one, and I mean no one at work has said a word to me about it. I have been growing my hair out for about a month and have looked kind of crazy – not my usual slick head, but come on people. Maybe this is just not something that comes up in polite conversation.
12. When I was first bonded that night it was hard to sleep on my back, I could feel the system pushing my scalp forward – slept on my side, and the next night just slight pressure and I could sleep fine.
13. I have noticed my hairline has a little white tint to it in places where it was cut I suppose. I asked about this and they said - since I was not wearing it up, being my first bond, and because of the thinness of the system due to my thin side hair that it is normal. My base is thicker, the stylist commented on that and said, “some of these are so fragile, this is nice.” I assume they went with the thicker base because I am new to this. I see them in about a week and I am going to demand they do something about it for the money I paid.
14. My goal is to have a big side part and a brush back, like Ryan Gosling sorta. They said they will do whatever it takes to meet my goal of this, I just need to let my side hair grow so it can blend well. They said we can experiment with different densities, lengths, and hairlines as my side hair grows out.
15. I found out I have grey in my hair! LOL They put gray in the system as well to match and I think it looks nice.
16. I can feel the system when I run my hand along the scalp at the edges. They used tape and glue – they said the tape was to ensure it holds since this is my first time and that a total glue could work maybe, but that they do not believe in “hard bonding,” and really don’t want to do that – not sure what that means.
17. I did have small disaster. After I had the system attached, they told me no heavy sweating, no serious activity for 24 hours including not to shower. I went to my tailor and tried on 5 pairs of pants and sweated like a dog…my system came up at the hairline at the edges…had to drive back up, and they put some tape on it and its strong now. I broke the rules so I am sure this is my fault.
Thought his might help others. While I have only had a system for a few days…I have a new bounce in my step, I feel “normal,” I am talking to people and using eye contact, I feel like a new man. I am scared to death it will come off, I am super careful with it, but I think that it will be fine…I hope.
Even though my system is not meant to be pushed back at this point, my girlfriend tried the gosling look on it and its not bad all considering.
