Scott said in the clip: ‘Even though I’ve been shaving my head for a tenth of my life, I still don’t recognize myself without hair.
‘And when I think of myself in a certain situation, I always do so with a full head of hair.’
To which Rob consoled him: ‘I’m really excited about this. And more importantly, it’s going to give you back the image you want of yourself.’
According to Rob, the hairpiece can last four to six months, but it needs to be reapplied every three to four weeks.
Scott went on to say that his hair has cost him acting jobs and chances at love.
‘You have no control over hair loss and a lot of people say you should just shave it off and accept it, but it does have consequences.
“I’m an actor and I lost my job because of my hair. Women didn’t want to date me because of my hair. People would look at me and I’d think, oh, I guess I should wear a hat today.
‘[The people who say embrace it]They are the ones who don’t have to deal with that every day.’

Rob told MailOnline: ‘It all started 10 years ago when one of the girls who worked for me, her brother-in-law, was really struggling with his mental health in relation to his hair loss.
“So I did some YouTube searching and research to see what was out there and what we could do with it. That’s when I found the hair systems.”
After trying the hair system on his colleague’s brother-in-law, Rob decided to open Novo Cabelo and specialize in treating hair loss in all ages and genders.
Looking back on the transformations, Rob said: ‘It’s great. Because on the one hand I’m just doing my job, but I just enjoy it.
‘I never get tired of it. I just think it’s something so simple that can really change people’s lives and the way they see themselves.
“How they feel inside. To be able to do that service is such a blessing and a real privilege to do.”
People online were blown away by his transformation, with one user saying: ‘I can’t believe how handsome he looks with hair, it’s amazing.’
Another added: ‘What a transformation! What a handsome man!’
A third joined in the conversation: ‘Wow, he looks years younger.’
While other users were quick to point out how important this is for men.
One said: ‘These videos are my favourite. Just giving these boys their confidence back – it brings tears to my eyes every time!! Boy power!’
Another wrote: ‘I don’t think people realise the impact this has on men. What you do is so important.’
Another added: ‘It’s touching. I’m glad this man has found himself and his self-esteem again.’
