My stylist thinks it's cool...
We've all heard the horror stories about how people come out of a hair system salon and they're walking around with a wall of hair, way too thick.
The internet DIY boys usually always do a better job at getting the hair system density right, but if a guy orders too much density then that's his own fault. So what's the best way of making sure that an order is right first time?
Well, one thing to be clever about is checking how much side (real) hair you have, and what the density of it is. There's no point going overboard and wanting to pile on 80% density in your piece when you only have thinning hair at the sides. You'll get a horrible step effect and you may as well walk around with a T-shirt on saying "Check out my piece!" (and an arrow pointing up).
As a general rule, most people who need a hair system are age 25 and up. And of course, if you need a piece, its quite logical that your hair must be thinning. Therefore, playing it safe says that it is highly unlikely that a guy, regardless of his age, would need a hair system with a density rating of over 75%. That would be the limit in my view. 80% would look like a rug.
Therefore, a good density for the average guy is between 65 - 75%. If your hair is thin at the side then you would probably be looking more towards 55 - 65%. Me personally, I'm all about 65%.
Remember the rule: Go lower than you think you need to.
One thing that Easypiece does to help you out is to have an option to upload a photo right next to the density selection on the hair system order form. You still have to select your density, but if you add a photo, it will be checked according to your selection. If it looks like you screwed up, we'll change it anyway to something better.
