Here's a photo of a guy that just needs a small piece to cover his bald crown area. We recommend that you keep as much of your own hair as possible to achieve the look that you want. If you're in a situation like this and the you've got hair on the rest of your head and you're satisfied with it there's no reason to shave your head for a topper. You can order a small piece to fit only your crown area.
