Hi Flynn423, stock systems are normally all-lace and freestyle so the style in the pic is more swept-back and you`d need to order a custom-made system with the hair ventilated into that direction . I didn`t quite follow what you were saying about the pics section being down ? Which part of the site is that ? Your hair sounds like a 1b colour will match it ..looks almost black, but under certain lighting angles/conditions you can see a brown-ish hue to it... and definitely looks black when damp.Freestyle come in 2 sizes...so just measure your thin area side-to-side and front-to-back....... you`ll be sent the nearest size to your measurement. If you send in your template first....it can be sent to Debbie along with your stock and she can trim the stock to match, before posting it to you along with whatever products you`d like to use for your attachments. The template can then be sent to the factory for your custom order. The template-making is no big deal....spray your thin area lightly with water...helps to keep the polythene wrap/film in place..just tie loosely under the chin and work away ..takes a little time and patience but that`s all. As for doing bonds..it`s no big deal either ..you`ll soon be used to it , as many before you have. It`s natural to be apprehensive --it`s just fear of the unknown ..in reality, it`s a lot easier than you imagine. The trick is not to wear for prolonged times [ 8-10 days max I recommend] to avoid a big chore with clean-ups, and for good scalp hygiene... this game is no different to a person who wears false teeth...simple routine /hygiene and it just becomes second nature after a while. In an ideal world we`d all have all our teeth and all our hair..... it`s not an ideal world but we can adapt to it. There are videos on`` Youtube `` showing template-making and cut-ins etc..have a look there .... regards, Paul.
