Quote:I have a little temple recession. I thought about getting temple flaps to fix this issue. But I find that I am a little paranoid about the colouring, and difference in texture between the piece and my real hair. If a breeze comes along it's going to flap my real hair all over the place and leave the hair on the wig in one place. Also my real hair tends to get wet and the piece stays drier when I exercise. I can't see any way of solving these issues. I know for the most part, people wouldn't notice. But it plays on my mind. I don't want these things. I want my hair to look great. I think maybe it'd be best to get everything out of the way and go for a fullcap.[/quote}

These are some of the main benefits to wearing a full cap. No matching, no blending....it's all uniform. The main issue is getting proper ventilation. Even if it isn't 100% perfect, there are ways to cheat it, but a properly ventilated unit will make your life 1000x easier.

Quote:I have made my first template. It's a work in process. I am trying to decide how far I should bring the temples forward? How much curve I should put in them? What denisty should they be? Also how much more difficult is attachement with a full cap? I am thinking of making the template go around my ears and have the nape the same shape as a contour for easy attachement.

The shape of the temples and hairline are entirely subjective, Keep the density reasonable on your first order, You can always increase it in the future.

Attachment is a bit more time consuming but it is not difficult. My Full Cap DVD will be available in the coming months and explains a simple method for attaching a full cap which you can use as a basis for developing your own attachment method.

Quote:I am also thinking of venting the temples forward.

The factories tend to do this as a default. As Spartan mentioned, the temples should ideally be vented back and down. The style you choose will also dictate the best style of ventilation, of course. If you plan to always style with the temples forward with a medium length style, you might want to have the unit made that way.

Quote:I'd like to have a nice high hairline. My face looks quite young. And I will be going for dark blonde hair with blonde highlights. Do you guys think it would be wise to have temple points like leo a piece? I see guys like Clooney and Pitt have high temple points and they are alot older than me. With this in mind I thought in my early 20's I could have blonde hair with nice temple points.

Totally depends upon your facial structure. It will probably end up being a trial and error thing. Take your best guess and revise subsequent orders accordingly.

Quote:Any suggestions with the template would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
