Hi JRob .. well that`s more or less `fullcap`really ..... I`ll only be leaving a bit of growing hair in front of the ears, and at the nape..... believe me...my own is really thin though it looks a bit thicker in the pics.... allowing for the length of the finished cut-in, I reckon only a little, if any, of the growing hair will be visible...... I`ll be shaving off at least half of the remaining growing hair and the system hair will more or less cover/blend into what little remains[ that`s the hope anyway !!! lol ] Paul.
