Glad you found the washing helped travbjork... it generally does... the 2nd-last photo there ... if that`s the style you want the system cut-in to, well that`ll be no problem for a stylist...very little work in that..... you`ll be amazed at the transformation once it`s done ...it`ll make you look your ` proper` age...... I think baldness makes us all look older than our years...... don`t expect the system to be totally flush / snug to your scalp at the perimeter...it`s one of the disadvantages of stocks ..they`re a standard size/fit.....you might be one of the lucky ones---some guys get a really great /nice fit ....just depends on the shape of your skull...generally speaking, usually the best way to get a system to fit your particular skull-shape, is to make a template of it and get a custom-made system.......you may find ` ridges` or ` ripples` on the perimeter..these are annoying ..they`re not visible as such but are very obvious to the touch ..... when I got them I just kept `at` them ..couldn`t stop ` wondering` how large they were ... it`s a bit like when you have a little ` spot` on say, the back of your neck...it feels like a big lump when in fact it`s very small..... I`ll be anxious to know how it goes for you tomorrow ...keep us updated and good luck !
