If you are going to comb your hair back all the time, I would recommend getting something like a brushback ventilation. Freestyle has a tendency to go forward and you might have to keep training the hair to get it back etc.

Flaps can be used to achieve the look YOU want. This has to be your decision. It depends on how low you want your hairline. You should get a recession that fits your age. You could go with either of the drawings above, but the one by LTB might be a more natural look. I would say go with something like Paul's flaps if you are trying to get a low forehead, the typical 3 fingers length. If you want more recession and something that might fit your age a little more go with LTB's. It really depends on the look YOU want. but use common sense. If your hairline is very low, but your forehead is very wide, People are gonna think its a wig, That is a big giveaway. U have to match the length and width of your forehead.
