Hey guys!
First off, let me just say that I couldn't be happier that I found this site, and forum!
You guys are the greatest!
Genuinely awesome people here.

I'm looking to order my first TopLace piece this weekend,
and I just thought I'd get a feel for what you guys think the specs on this style are.

Also, hair color and side/back density are similar to these pictures (even though they are two different people.)
I was thinking about 70%, no graduation, comb forward w/ spikey front?
SFS w/ French Lace base and poly sides and back, for durability and undetectable hairline.

I'm 19, and have been thinning and balding for over a year.
It's pretty traumatizing as well as depressing, as it now consumes my entire daily routine as well as my thoughts.
I can't wait to order and receive my piece, and just be done with the worry.

Please help me out guys.
What do you think I should order if I'm trying to achieve this look?







Thanks!
Hope to hear a response soon.

You must have done some homework.

Hey,

I also lost a lot of hair early on and while it's not fun at any age, I think it's a bit tougher being so young.

Your specs sound about right... though my own experience is the poly around the edges is not always 100% undetectable to the touch.

So maybe start with that until your familiar/comfortable with attachment then move to all lace.

You will be amazed at the outcome though. I'm a typical cali blond surfer dude, mid 30's and most guess I'm early/mid 20's now.

You don't need poly, or if you want you can order 1" double lace around sides and back. I also started to loose my hair in my late teens.

Shaun,
You pretty much have the specs nailed. You could order freestyle venting and achieve the same look but otherwise you're right on. I think you'll be a really good hair wearer---you're 'in tune.'
Regards,
John

Thanks everyone!
You've all been a great deal of help.
I look forward to sharing my wearing experiences soon!

Take it easy,
Shaun
