Balding man left in tears after new hair system makes him look '20 years younger'

A balding man cried tears of joy after a realistic hair system made him look '20 years younger'.

Ashley Tawney had began losing his hair and decided to have a hairpiece fitted by Novo Cabelo Hair.

The company filmed a 360-view showing Ashley's head both before and after his fitting and posted the amazing results on social media, reports the Mirror.

In the short video, Ashley first has his eyes covered so he can't see the stylist, named Rob, working on his hair - which involved shaving off any unwanted pieces before covering Ashley's scalp with a protector and adhesive.

The hair system was then fitted to Ashley's head. Rob styled it so it flowed seamlessly into his natural hair.

In the clip, which was posted to Novo Cabelo Hair's TikTok account ( @novocabelohair ) last year, a voiceover said: "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."

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

Ashley examines his new hairstyle from every angle and looks like he is welling up with tears as he exclaims: "Oh my god!"

Commenters on the post were left equally as emotional over the sweet video, which has been viewed more than 443,000 times since it was uploaded.

"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," one viewer said, while another added: "Omg he looks 20 years younger!"

"I think it's great that men can feel better... like women have been with wigs for years," a third wrote, while a fourth commented: "What a genuine guy, I'm happy for him he looks amazing."

Another TikTok user wrote: "I'm a woman who unfortunately is going through my two-stage of hair loss in four years, it's so upsetting, Ashley you look amazing."

After the video was uploaded, Ashley took to the comments himself to say he's "so pleased" with his new hair.

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