Hey Greeko1987,

SFS (TL100) is thin and undetectable and generally the base material that most guys like since it is a fine mesh and "breathes".

You might want to consider ordering the French lace base (TL200) since you're just starting out though. It's just about as fine as the SFS but a bit more sturdy for a beginner to work with.

Are you planning to replace just the frontal area or were you thinking of replacing more hair (top of head)? Whatever you decide to do there, either type of lace will work fine, whether just a frontal piece or a topper unit.

As far as sweating and working out goes it's hard to say what attachment (glue or tape) will work best for you because each person's body chemistry is different.

The best thing to do is to buy several types of glue and a few types of tape to try out to see what will work best in your case. It's largely a matter of personal taste and/or trial & error to find the right adhesive(s) when you're just starting out, so the more choices you have on hand to try, the better off you'll be.

Whenever you're ready to order, just call John and go over any questions or concerns you have regarding base material, density, and the amount of wave you want, adhesives, etc. He will steer you in the right direction and be glad to help you set up your order and finalize everything.

Be sure to include a copy of the hairstyle you ultimately want to achieve (I''m guessing it's going to be the picture where you had longer hair) in with your order, along with your template and hair sample, too.

Best of luck to you!
