Jonesy-

We have all been in your shoes to a certain extent. What everyone is trying to say is that you can't "let the hair wear you".

I am almost completely open about wearing, but I understand your apprehension with this because it is a touch subject for some. I think this definitely IS your best alternative based upon what you are saying. And who knows??? You might nail it first time around, it looks great, you're a "natural" and everything just falls into place. But chances are there will be a little bit of a learning curve, and it is possible that it might not be perfect at first. Can you live with that?

Right now your apprehension stems from the unknown. There have been a lot of guys who have been nervous to take the plunge who ended up being immediately ecstatic with the results they got. Just understand that your results may vary.
