Michael,
You don't want to cut the front. It's the easiest thing to do but please don't. The front is graduated so that the density gradually increases from the front hairline going backward. That's the way real hair typically grows. If you cut the front you'll cut off the graduation and you'll have the 'doll's hair' look. That's a sure tipoff that you're wearing hair. All of our orders from the factory have a graduated front for realism unless the customer specifies 'non-graduated front' on his order. We have a few younger guys that pull off a non-graduated front and it works for them. Mr. Burns is one of them that pulls off the look with great realism. But it's not for everyone.
Regards,
John
