So here's the situation.

Your really hot pen-pal in Europe has finally sent his or her picture to you and is now asking you to send one of your own as well. Knowing that that old prom pic just won't do, you take your digicam and pose as only a model would, then you download all the shots into your computer. Just as you were about to send off those pictures, something catches your eye: the lack of a hairline.

In the words of Douglas Adams: Don't Panic!

That's because David Nigel has prepared a step-by-step tutorial to help those in a... not-so-hairy situation.
