Thanks for the info Paul, I saw those pictures yesterday. I just figured if there was a salon in NYC that would do the template I would just rather go there than risk screwing it up myself but will try doing one on my own. I am posting a couple pics I just took and wondering what you guys would recommend I would need to get? Back and sides are cut pretty short but not buzzed and I just took off my cap to take so smooshed down a little. Also what type of piece do most of you guys go with, meaning swiss lace etc. I have read a ton of posts and still little confused on adhesives such as glue vs. tape? Kinda the reason I wanted to go to a salon for everything from start to finish. Lastly do you think I need to get piece with flaps? Like I said been reading but still not sure on a lot of stuff. Thanks again.
