A few pics below with details under them. I wore two small pieces as I have always had a V shaped hairline and the bottom of the had has not receded much so I didnt see the need for a full front strip, i also wasnt totally convinced that lace would totally vanish from site so I thought I could cover the hairline with my natural hair if it looked wrong. I meet a guy who goves under the name of SPARTAN on here and at the time he had a similar style to what you are looking to achieve but had all sorts of difficulties with blending and a gap between the natural growing hair and the wig hair (message him on his thoughts on this). Just my opinion on this but dont have a HT, I looked into this extensively and I have meet people that have had it, you must understand a HT will not give you thick luscious hair it will only give you thin hair so as to cover and area which you just dont need.

Obviously go for what you feel is right for you but be prepared to go through a steep learning curve at first and the usual mind tricks the brain plays on you

Below pic is when I used two small partials and pushed my hair forward in a similar style to yours

below is a pic as my hair grew I have highlighted where the pieces were in red



Below are pics of my hair loss at the hairline


hope this helps let me know if i can help any further mate
