I've recently ordered a custom hair system (due for delivery in July) and I think I've done ok with creating the shape of the hairline. However depending on how it looks when the system arrives, I might refine it a bit in the future on my next custom order.
It can be tricky getting the hairline shape right when making a template for a custom system, so I was wondering if it's a good idea to use some sort of frontal contour guide, like the guy in this video uses (at around 5m50 in):
Where can I buy a frontal guide like this? I think ultimately I will go for a 'C' contour hairline. One problem with using a guide like this is that it might not be the right width for my hairline, so I'm wondering if it's a good idea. (I know in the video he is creating a template for a full cap, whereas mine is for a partial).
Could anyone share any tips for drawing the hairline shape when making a template? I was wondering whether I could simply mark the middle of my hairline and then ask for a 'C' contour? It seems like you can only specify the hairline shape on stock systems, but with customs you have have to actually draw the shape.
Anyway I think my current custom order should be ok but it would be nice to refine it a bit in the future perhaps to get it absolutely spot on to my liking.
