Hey Paul... I gave it a lot of thought to be honest, blending-texture-not able to have the EXACT look i want is what makes me considering full cap as the only option. What you're talking about is a 3/4 system,yes im thinking of it too..
Yes by "thinskin perimeter" im talkin all around including front hairline,temples etc.. The new skin i saw was just really thin and i dont know if it will be an issue with realism if i'm shooting for 65-70% densities. That way you have a VERY secure bond cause of the thinskin perimeter all glued, and the rest of your scalp breathes with lace.
Maybe people have done something similar with a full cap,maybe not.
The look is a bit spikey, but i always love my hair as i used to(back in the day), its a very classic style.
You're thinking of going full cap or 3/4 Paul? Hair is gonna get thinner so i just want to make the transition now, and forget about things like: i can't have that style or the other cause the remaining hair is not good to work with.. i HATE limitations..
Take care Paul, see you around
