Bryan, if you're new to wearing, try to make it as simple as possible. Although temple flaps are nothing too hard to manage, but for an absolute newbie, maybe it's better to build a template w/o flaps at first and let the hair on your piece cover the sides. After you get experience, then it's not too late to order your next piece with flaps.

That's about all the advice I can give you due to the vagueness of your description/question. That's probably why you didn't get a lot of answers. It's like me asking, "should I go on a diet? I think I'm a little large"...hehehe

Good luck!
