I have weak temples. I was wondering how many of you have flaps on your piece and with what kind of results. thanks

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.

See this thread for photos of mine:

All my pics have temple flaps and the how to make a template thread shows them and the vent direction.

here are my temple flaps.

wow looks great xeon, cool flaps

Yo X, what density are those flaps?

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?

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.
