Looking at my crown pics I would too kill for such hair. Unfortunately, it is with the concealer on. Concealer did wonders for me in 2009 and I could wear it even when speeding on a bicycle downhill with strong wind in my hair for tens of minutes. And that all without hair spray. It also did not even leave marks on light beddings. However, it is a different story now. I use more of it and it feels like the quality went down, too, as it sheds much more. I always used HSR. I just added wet hair pictures.

I go nutts if I don’t wash my hair for longer than two days. I could go a week when I was 12 but not now. Besides, I am still using minox so I have no choice.
Anyway, this is not a concealer thread so let’s get back to the subject.

I am not so sure about that. I feel it should go beyond the center point of the crown where hair go in different directions. This is largely where balding area starts in my case.

As for the base, I don’t want to go with the skin as, if I understand correctly, it is an outdated tech, and not breathable, right? How big is the detectability difference between Swiss and French?

u do have some decent coverage at the front even on the wet pictures.
For now I recommend a small piece for the crown to get you going.
U could de/re every 2 weeks no problem.
Attach with adhesive (ghost bond). The piece would be the size of 4 quarters layed out. You would have to shave there to make solid attachment.
In a year or 2 you could go to a full topper when the front sheds more.

Good luck
