I just made a template with temple flaps, this will be my first hp with the flaps. I have had trouble in the past with hp's because i have weak temple areas and a very large forehead, so I always had to wear my hair forward, and it hasn't looked very natural. I am hoping the temple flaps will solve this problem.

wow looks great xeon, cool flaps
Re: Temple Flaps - Snipe - 09-13-2009
Yo X, what density are those flaps?
Re: Temple Flaps - Xeon005 - 09-13-2009
I do not remember the actual number, but its better to go light density on the flaps. My flaps extend into my side hair quite a bit. its not just the part that is sticking out in the front. to get an even better effect i can comb or train those hairs to go down and to the side and they look even more realistic.

Thanks Mr Burns your temple flaps look great.
Snipe: thanks for posting all that info about creating a template with temple flaps. I checked out some of your photos on the older forum and I love the hair bro. That pushed forward style is exactly what i'm trying to recreate.
Xeon: Thanks for posting that pic of your flaps. Looks really good and very undetectable. You said they extend pretty far into your sides. Does that make attachment difficult?
Re: Temple Flaps - Mr.Burns - 09-13-2009
You asked about the application - well here is a great tip that I have learnt from trial and error:
- apply the glue as if there were no flaps, just straight across the hairline
- apply the hairsystem
- now check the covered area for the flaps and apply glue to that exact area
- neatly press the flaps down into that area
This way is hassle free. It's very difficult to apply the entire piece + flaps to your head all at once and it can be messy, often requiring you to reglue the flaps if they ended up landing in the wrong place.
