How to make a template in 4 easy steps:

	STEP 1: Spray a little water on your scalp first, so that the plastic wrap fits very tightly. Tear off a piece of 12" wide clear plastic wrap that is long enough to stretch all the way around your head and tie it in a knot under your chin. After pressing the wrap tightly to your head, use strips of clear household tape (not wide packing/shipping tape) to contour your head shape. Beginning at your forehead, place strips of the transparent tape over the plastic wrap at the side edges of your bald area and work your way inward with more tape strips.
	STEP 2: Once you have a complete layer of tape running front-to-back, place another layer of tape over the first layer, going from side-to-side. Apply three layers of tape - two layers front-to-back and one side-to-side. The tape will lock the plastic wrap into a permanent, transparent mold (template) of your scalp.
	STEP 3: Your front hairline can be determined by placing three or four fingers (depending on your age) above your eyebrow line (or above the point where your forehead ends and your scalp begins). From the center of your hairline, draw a line around your entire bald area. This will be the shape of your hairpiece base. After the entire outer perimeter is drawn, draw arrows indicating the direction you intend to comb your hair. If you desire a part, draw a line from a point at the crown straight down to your hairline. Make sure to mark the letter F clearly at the front of the template and the letter B at the back. Write your name on the template as well.
	STEP 4: After you have finished marking the tape template, add one more layer of tape (now four layers) to seal in the markings. After your mold is complete, cut away the excess plastic wrap along the outer perimeter line. Please cut at least 2 locks of your hair and tape them to a sheet of paper with your name on it and indicate what parts of your head they are from. This will help us match your natural color accurately. If you can provide your color code #, this step is not necessary.

ORDERING WITHOUT MAKING A TEMPLATE

Determining your FRONT-TO-BACK measurement:

A good way to determine where your scalp begins is to raise your eyebrows and furrow your brow. The point where your forehead stops wrinkling is where your scalp begins. Your hairline should begin above this point.
Measure from that point over the top of your head to the point in back where your recession area ends and your natural hair begins.

Determining your LEFT-TO-RIGHT measurement:

Measure from the point where your recession begins on one side of your head (above the ear) over the very top of your head to the same point on the other side of your head.

HAIR DENSITY

Hair density is usually difficult to tell just from pictures. It mainly depends on your hair length, how curly it is, how dark it is, the lighting, etc. The pictures below are of our factory density book (no bleached knots here) which contains industry standard densities of 50%, 80%, 100%.

50% or "Extra Light Density Typical for men from the age of 35 and up. This density is good for more mature men. Lace base, the knots can be bleached.
80% or "Light Density" With this density the scap is visible but still makes a young healthy head of hair.
100% or "Light to Medium Density" This density should be used for men under the age of thirty.

HAIR COLORS

The best way to submit your hair color is to send us a lock of your hair so we can match it with our color ring. Here's an example of our colors for you to use as a reference.
