" also you say freestyle doesnt brush back? but can it atleast brush straight up into a 90 degree angle? and possible a little more back like 100 degrees..?"

Usually it hairs go straight up just fine, or even back.. but sometimes with freestyle knotting some hairs want to go forward instead of back, so these hairs sometimes can be a pain.. But usually there is no problem combing the hair in the front straight up or even back.. Like I said though some pieces you will get some hairs that don't want to go back or even up. they want to forward.. so My suggestion.. at least from my last experience.. Ordering freestyle with spikey front works pretty nice.. the hairs in the front can easily be combed forward with no problem but they also can go back or straight up easier than free style. So that would be my recommendation based on my last piece from toplace
