ok thanks for that.

yes I think I can keep the template I have as is and simply just have the hair longer by about 2 inches, i could remove the bit of the template that covers the neck muscle as well, it's kindof useless but it does no harm if it is their or not.

ok here is a picture of my nape area



it's just above ear level, that is where the template ends exactly, I should have the hair longer by 2" so as to avoid the template lifting.
