That looks good at the back and sides, but for my taste it is a bit low and a bit bowl shaped at the front. For your hairline between the points on each side where it meets your side h... |

Thread: Need Help - Traveling and Forgot Lace Release
Post: RE: Need Help - Traveling and Forgot Lace Release
