First let me say I found this site by accident and sooo glad I did. I've been reading all your guys posts and pics non stop all weekend and love this site. Just a little bout me. I am 43 years old and have been losing my hair for 15 plus years and covering it with a baseball cap for all this time. I recently went on vacation with some family and close friends and we went out to a bar. When we got there they told me I had to remove my cap. I was so embarrassed and would not go in and as soon as I got back from vacation decided enough was enough. I cannot tell you how many weddings, friend and family outings etc that I have missed out on in all these years because embarrassed to take off my hat. I still look young with my hat on (still get carded sometimes lol) but 20 years older without it. I am very active in sports and outdoor activities and just sick of this damn baseball cap!

Well after finding this site I have decided to take the plunge and move on with my life without having to hide under a hat. Now the questions for you guys.

1) I am not completely bald, have good sides and back and still a little on top (I will take pictures tonight and post to show) I know tough without picture but not sure if I need a full or partial piece?
2) I am located in the burbs outside of NYC and saw some earlier posts about a salon and woman named DiDi that does the template and cut ins. The posts I read were from 2010 and am wondering if she is still there? Do I have to order from her or can I order from this site? Is there anywhere else in the NYC area that is good and does the template if she no longer around?

I have watched videos on youtube on doing template yourself but since this is my first rather go to a pro. I had more questions but can't remember them all now, so will be back probably with a few more. Again so glad to find this site and hope to finally ditch the hat and move on. Thanks guys!
