hey ajv, Iknow this is against what a lot of the guys may tell you but I just went ahead and ordered a stock piece as close a color match as I could. I did this because I had never seen or fealt a HS before and wanted to get idea just by plonking it on my head what it would sort of look like, once I did this I just went for it. There have been teething problems, reds, overuse of hairspray, the paranioa of people looking at me etc. But Ive kinda got to thinkin balls to it Im happier with hair even if some of its not mine, and my wife is fine with it so nuts to everyone else. Just as long as it looks good you should get a real confidence boost

best of luck
