Hey guys,

First off I'd like to say thanks to the website makers, I've found some of the best information about hair systems here over anywhere else...it's really helped.

So I'm 23 and started receding at 19, this year it accelerated and I'm left with a lot of balding at the front. It's turned my life upside down, people really can be uneasy around this sort of thing. I can't shave my head, it just doesn't look good so I'm keen to get a hairpiece as soon as I can. Just a few questions and I can upload pictures if need be.

1. I'm still very thick everywhere but the temples, the crown is fully intact still. Can I shave up to the front of the crown to apply a piece so that I can keep it? or would you suggest otherwise?

2. When it comes to shaping the hairline when applying it, would I need to worry about the curvature of the forehead and is there a way of measuring this if need be? (hope that makes sense..)

3. I'm in the UK, are there any decent stylists for cut its here? I've heard of good things about Debbie and seen a video of her work, she seems to have a talent for this anyone close to her would be fantastic

4. As the rest of my hair is still very thick and I'm young would it be a good idea to have a non graduated hairline? from what I've gathered only some people find success with this.

5. Can chlorine effect the piece? if so would a swimming cap be plausible?

Thanks for your time reading this and sorry to write an essay, just want to make sure I get as much right as possible.

Cheers!
