free style or spiky front help from new wearer - systemuser - 11-07-2011
Hello guys,
I am a new wearer and I wanted to order a stock piece. I gather from the discussion on the forum that spiky front is more easy to style than the free style.
I wanted to know which one is better among the two. I am trying to achieve a spiked hairstyle and also a center part at times. So I am looking for that flexibility.
Also I want to know from the experienced wearers, it is advised to have 5% less dense hair in the front that on the rest of the piece.
Thanks in advance

You won't be able to order a stock piece with a different front density or style, they come 'as is' (65% medium density & freestyle venting), hence the term 'in stock'. Regards

If I was you I`d do a template and order a custom-made system, so you can specify what you want...stocks are a `middle-of-the-road` item----yes they can work well for some wearers but the best way to get what you want in terms of style/density/fit etc., is to design your own system, and have it made for you. By the way, stocks are graduated at the front, so the density is `stepped` for a natural look. Paul.

Oh, I must have missed where it says stocks are graduated. Can you show where it says that on the order page? Regards

What actually is spikey front compared with freestyle? Is it flatback?

It doesn`t specify Graduated ,on the specifications on that page... I have asked John to clarify the issue...meanwhile here is part of an older post by John in relation to custom systems.....

RE: Before sending the order in...
``The photo is 60-65%. All hair lines are graduated by the factory unless the customers specifies a non-graduated front---and we have only a handful of young guys in their 20's that request that. ``
I think it can be safely concluded, that if only a handful of guys specifically request Non-graduated fronts on custom-made systems, it`s very very unlikely that stocks will be Non-graduated as they simply would not be what most wearers want. I have asked John to confirm this ...regards, Paul.

Thanks guys.
How do I thin the hair on the system? Are there any products which does that.
Thanks

You can apply `Nair` or `veet` [those hair-removal creams women use] carefully to the knots, before the application of Knot-sealer [if you are intending to apply it--I recommend you do so] Be aware that not all the hair will shed/brush out immediately --some more will come out in the next day or two, so go `easy` initially.

Spikey front is literally just that... hair is standing-up /spiked-up at the front. It`s a nice style but it does expose the hairline...you can see a pic if you click on the `Photo Gallery` tab at the top of the page....it`s a `sliding`photo gallery which move from right-to-left across the screen.... it moves quickly....just hover your cursor/mouse over the pics as they move and they go slower......keep an eye out for the 2nd-last one... it`s a spikey front.... just so you know which one I mean, the one next to it is of 4 guys with their eye area blacked out, and the next/last one is the blue `American hair loss Association` logo. Also be aware that the photo gallery is not viewable with some browsers....my Google Chrome will not open it... I can view it fine using `Firefox`.... Paul.

Thanks Paul. Oh wow I don't know if it's just firefox or what but the gallery is not working so well for me. The thumnails block half the main photo so I can't even see all of the pic when each one comes up.
