Balding man left in tears as new hair system makes him look two decades younger

A man who had started to lose his hair has been left pouring tears of happiness after he tried out a new hair system that has left him looking two decades younger.

Ashley Tawney from the UK, had the realistic new hair fitted by Novo Cabelo Hair. A 360 view of Tawney’s head both before and after his fitting, with the amazing results being shared across social media.

In a clip shared to TikTok, Tawney has his eyes covered with glasses that have the clinic's name written on them so he is unable to see Rob, his stylist, working away on his hair. The process involved shaving off the unwanted pieces of hair prior to covering up his scalp with a protector and adhesive.

Then the stylist fitted the hair system to Ashley's head and styled it so it flowed naturally into his own hair.

In the video, posted to Novo Cabelo Hair's TikTok account in 2022, a voiceover explained: "Ashley is here for a blind reaction hair system makeover. He is tired of feeling self-conscious about his hair.

"With his eyes covered up, Rob gets to work with shaving the unwanted hair, prepping the scalp with a protector and a glue adhesive, and then cutting the system into Ashley's new style."

Rob then adds, before showing the man's reaction to seeing his hair for the first time: "All we needed was Ashley's reaction, let's see what he thinks".

Examining his new hair from every angle, Ashley is extremely impressed and tears form as he shouts: "Oh my god!"

People flocked to the comments to show their support for his new hairstyle: "Tears in my eyes. People don't realise this can really shatter some men's confidence. It doesn't define you, but it's difficult to accept."

Another added: "I’m a woman who unfortunately is going through my second stage of hair loss in four years, it’s so upsetting, Ashley you look amazing."

Ashley himself commented: "I'm so pleased with my new system! I love it! I honestly can't thank you enough rob, makes me teary watching this!"
