I have a couple of questions that I would greatly appreciate the answers to. This is my first time getting a hair system, and I'm thinking about using the following specs:
Full Cap
All French Lace
hair color: black
hair style: freestyle
curl & wave: straight
In reference to the 2 attached photos in this post:
1) Is the density 65%, 70%, or 75%?
2) Even though 6" hair length is included with the order, I prefer not to go into the haircutting place with too long of hair. Therefore, based on these photos, should I request 5" Hair Length or a different length?
3) After I make my template, I am planning to label "front" and "back" on my template. Since I have mentioned hair style: freestyle, do I still need to mark Arrows on the Template?
Sorry for all the questions and I really appreciate all of your help!
Hi Shadow,
Welcome to the forum. You'lll get a lot of info here. First of all, the photo of the guy with the lighter colored hair is 70-75%. The darker hair guy is 60-65%. The standard 6" of hair is a lot of hair. It's difficult to estimate the length of hair in those pictures since it's a comb forward style and we can't be sure how far back the hair line goes. It's easiest to just take a tape measure and measure the distance from where your hair line on the hair system will start to the length you want--it will probably be around 5". There's no need to draw arrows with the hair direction on the template for a freestyle order. I'm glad to see that you're labeling the template with the front and back---some customers don't do that and they have to be contacted to verify which end is the front. Good luck!
Regards,
John
Hey mate. I reckon that as it's your first piece get 70/75% density as it will take a beating when you take it off etc. I have a style like the darker pic and 70% is the way to go. Go for it mate you won't regret it.
Thanks for all of your help and for answering my questions, John and Tunners!
btw Tunners ... your hair style in the following thread (<!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.toplace.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1788&p=12136&hilit=remy#p12136">viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1788&p=12136&hilit=remy#p12136</a><!-- l -->) looks good man!
I would order straight hair, forward from the crown.
If you want a little wave you could go body wave, but with styles like that it's unnecessary to order freestyle ventilation, and it might be a little more prone to tangling.
Cheers mate, I had another just cut in, a lot longer style like I said. Everyone of us who have gone the full cap routesay its the best thing we did. Get straight hair for them looks mate and go to a decent barber so he will layer it etc. So important!
