I`ve made a new template recently for a replacement Fullcap....am just `tweaking`it at the moment.... I used an eyebrow pencil to mark the perimeter so I could easily see it through the cling-film once I had it sitting on.... have a look at the temple area.... obviously you`re not going fullcap, but the temple area may be similar to what you may need...I`ll post a pic below.
Locate your original front hairline and work your way back from there.... simply frown or physically push your forehead-skin upwards with a finger...you`ll see the point where the scalp skin `meets`the forehead skin [scalp skin doesn`t stretch/move] and just mark that line.

This is just a line/outline marked with an eyebrow pencil

My goal is to achieve a look like this pics of rooney, made the outline a bit pointy i think but its just a draft to get the hang of it, preliminary draw on.... comments paul??? I would greatly appreciate your thought!!!
