Thanks for you input Paul I am sure you have helped him out . It is not always easy and not all thin patches are the same. In my pre wearing days , I self cut my hair once and to my horror I just seemed to of focused to much in an area in the back . It seemed I was to aggressive and took out to much hair. I was really freaking out.I knew time would correct it with growing hair. In the meantime I went and buy a mascara brush that was closest to my own color and just applied it to the sort of bald spot. Not to much just enough to cover it up. It really worked and I had bought waterproof mascara and it held its color for about 3 shampooings. Maybee an option to concider.
