Hi guys,
I've been growing my hair out this last while so I can send it out to LordHair and get the colour matched. Now that that is done, I'm ready to order one of their stock hair systems. On their website, they offer a service where they will cut the base down to size for you. You can opt into it as you order their systems like so:
I would be interested in opting into this service, however, I really can't imagine them doing a very good job of it - The 2 measurements they are asking for don't really take much into account i.e. the depth of the head. And if I give a measurement that is off-centred a little bit, it would render the whole system useless.
Instead, I've got my own hair template and a sytrofoam head here and I think I would prefer to make an attempt at cutting the base down to size myself. I would turn my hair system inside-out, place my hair template over the top of the stock system, place both of them onto the styrofoam head, draw around where the hair template sits on the system and then cut around the freshly-drawn outline with scissors.
Currently I haven't shaved my head, so if I end up messing up the outline on the system a little bit, it's not such a problem as I can just place the system on my head and shave around it, instead of placing the hair template on my head and shaving around that.
Preferably, I'd be doing this on a 0.03mm poly system, but as they are out of stock, I am ordering a 0.08mm poly system instead and doing it on that. Is it safe to say a 0.08mm poly system can be cut easily with scissors?
Please could I get your opinions on this whole idea? Does anyone have any experience doing this? Or any tips?
Thanks, guys.
