I'm seeing longer SMP hairs (1/8 inch) being used, as appose to dots... Thoughts?

So i've seen longer SMP hairs being created and I'm getting mixed opinions. What is everybody's thought on getting this done if you want to have just a little bit longer than a buzz cut?

They will look terrible! Trust me!

Its already difficult to get a '3d-effect' using dots if you're also lucky enough to still have a good amount of surrounding to blend them in. And then there's holding on to that existing hair to maintain the 3-d buzzed look, which isn't easy for alot of guys, especially the ones that end up going for SMP because their hair loss is usually the most aggressive.

You walk up to this guy in the pic on the street and its going to look weird, having a slick head, shine reflection from straight ahead, until he turns or moves his head enough and you suddenly see a bunch of little lines all over with no texture.

I agree , It will look weird .

I feared that. I was thinking I could possibly get away with it.

Think about it. You will have a shaved head with your own hair appearing as dots and fake looking lines added in??

The dermis on your scalp cannot hold lines like this. When it heals it will slowly start to look awful. Terrible idea.

I wouldn't shave my head completely if I had these lines. I would keep it the same length as the SMP. However what makes the most sense is the 3D effect.

I think these are more for women who already have hair and are looking to trick density.
