hi,

i just have done my template. is it ok (pics are attached)? if not, what can i do better? it got some bumbs, sadly.

the outer lines are the ones i want to have.

now i have to cut it out, if it's ok, right?

thanks!

HI Andy...yeah it looks fine ..they all look a bit `rough`like that before they are trimmed to the final size..... just cut it out now
and pop it on your head...you can `tweak`it if necessary..by adding on more sticky tape here and there or snipping a little more off
...don`t worry too much about bubbles.... as long as it gives a reasonable representation of your head-shape / contours it`ll be grand
Pop it on and take a pic or two [blank out your eyes if you like] ...I`d just like to see the back and the front hairline point when it`s on your
head ....... just write the words `Front`and `Back` on the appropriate areas too .....and you can also write [small] your name on it.
Looks good though...well done. Paul.

hi,

thank you paul!

i have attached some pictures with the template on my head. i haven't cut out the hairline yet, because i think this is the most important part and i dont want to mess it.

is everything ok so far?

andy

Hello again Andy ....can you post one of your head with no template on it please...the back view there
as it looks to me [but I can`t see through the template] like your top hair isn`t too bad.... I can `lift`the pic
and draw the line on it where you`d need to cover and re -post it...... now the 2 pics there of your front....one [ pic3]
looks ok..but pic 4 looks like it`s back a bit from the front hairline -point......you have a high forehead and
it`s important to get that right....otherwise you`ll either have too much hair `hanging down` over your front, or
it will be slightly back too far and will look odd.. the front hair `frames`your face and it`s important to do it correctly
what you do is sit in front of a mirror, then raise your eyebrows as high as you can as if you were really surprised at something
and if you look closely,you`ll see the point where the forehead skin moves/crease slightly but the scalp skin does not....that`s your natural
hairline...... try it and see! Just post that pic and I`ll have a look at it this evening..Paul.

hi paul,

i attached new photos. i already cut the back more now. sorry for the bad quality.

i hope these photos help.

my forehead always was big. i dont think my hairline receeded, only in the temple area.

Ah yeah ..that`s great ... can see properly now ... I can also see your front hairline now too...classic
thinning ........ I`d go with your last pic there...just slightly trim it to there`s no `jagged`bits, just a nice
curve around the back and an even edge heading towards the temple area......I`d ignore the black line.
There is thinning going on a bit further down the back but the hair will well-cover that ......maybe in a year
or two you might have to make a new template as the growing hair there will `drop` a bit more. In the front
view pics there I assume the black line is sitting right on top of your existing hairline... just trim along that line
and it should look great..... I think you`ll fine wearing very easy as a nice freestyle system will really blend
in well with your existing hair.... I`m sure you`ve seen pics of how I wear mine....that is SO easy to wear...
you`d easily carry off that non-exposed or `comb-down `style at the front... your present situation is just like
how mine was a few years back.... pop in those last 4 pics there with your order--it will really help the factory
to make a system you`ll be happy with. I`d say maybe don`t go higher than a 60% density..your hair isn`t
VERY dense but it`s a bit heavier than mine and I`m able to blend in a 55% successfully..... you can always
increase it on a subsequent order if you like, and even if you feel ``Oh I could/should have ordered it a bit denser``
at the very worst it will just look as if you are only beginning to thin a bit....a big mistake is to go for a far too high
density and have it sitting like a mop on top of visibly thinner sides/back. Your own doesn`t look very curly/wavy
so `bodywave`should be fine for you. Are you going to get one or two systems ? If two, you could consider having
a poly strip on the sides and back and lace front on one, and the other could be all-lace.....there are pros and cons , but I
like the poly strip for reasons I`ve outlined in other threads..it really is very thin but for practically total undetectability
to the touch, all -lace is better...just depends on your circumstances/likes etc. Some other guys might like to `chip-in`on
the density to go for, but that`s my 2 -cents worth ! Hope that`s of help...kind regards, Paul.

so you now, after seeing the new photos, think, i should go for the hairline i painted?

is 60 % density full hair? i dont want to have sparse hair anymore.

If the black line at the front is sitting right on top of your hairline, trim to that line....I`d leave the back
alone i.e. just `tidy` off any `rough`edges on the actual template edge itself as it is....ignore [ done`t cut]
in to the black line there. You need to be careful not to `over-do`the density or it will look wrong/unnatural,
so from what I can see, I wouldn`t go more than 65% max., but 60% might be better from what I can see in
the pics...... hopefully a few others will chip in with their opinions too.... Paul.

thx paul!

do you think 60 % is the density of my sides and back? i want that it matches my sides and back as good as it can and my side and back hair is fine for me in terms of density.

I wouldn`t put it in terms of your growing-hair density......it`s more a matter of picking a system -density
which will blend in with your own ....I`d go with the percentage I recommended but let`s see what others
think... all in-put is good, so you can make an informed choice..cheers, Paul.
