I wouldn't call your hairline a NW3, it's more like a NW2. I know what it's like to be self-consious of a receeding hairline. And for what it's worth - I don't think it's too noticable. And for some people a bit of recession is a good look. But give the piece a try, see what difference it adds and if it's worth your time and money. At least when you loose more hair you'll already have experience with wearing, and you'll know if it's for you or not. Since you are young, don't go with a transplant. It's expensive and when you loose more hair (which you will) - you'll be left with an unnatural recession (and you could end up with scars, depending on the type of procedure too). Basicly - you'll look like a goof. Not a good investiment of thousands of dollars. I considered a hairtransplant, I'm glad I didn't do go through with it. Another good reason not to get one is that the good doctors will not perform hairtransplants on younger patients.

I'd say this is a norwood 3:
