Decided to post a few pics of my topper [now defunct since I`m wearing my fullcap now..... just to give you an idea of what a 55% density looks like...remember this topper is 10 months old and has obviously lost some [but not much] hair during it`s serviceable life.... I was delighted with it. It`s just sitting on the back of my hand and I have it held out in front of me also, so you can have some idea of it... I`d say it`s not much different to your sides/back ...... it was a freestyle, with bodywave. Hope that`s of interest....... Paul.
