Newbie, a few concerns:

I haven't really styled my hair for about 5+ years, my only style has been to hide balding. I have many styles I want to try when I get the system. I've read freestyle would be the way to go for someone like me. However, doesn't everyone have a natural ventilation for their real hair? Should I be trying to replicate that since freestyle would just ventilate the hair in whatever random direction the factory knots the hair?

Does every human have a crown where the hair swirls? I'm trying to make a template and don't know if I should mark a place for it. My natural hair has a crown but I don't like the look of it that much and style "against it" or "over it". Is it in my best interest to include one, or will it still look realistic if I don't include it.
