Hi Hairloss... sounds like a partial at the front would do you for now --you`re still young and you say the rest of your hair is good. Should be no real problem to get a good blend -in if you have a good `foundation`. Shipping to Australia should take no longer than to Ireland --about 5 or 6 working days is what I have experienced. The sooner you get a template of your thin area made and shipped to Toplace, the sooner your life will change for the better. You have an advantage in only needing a smaller area covered, in that it will allow you to learn about bond times, and different strengths of glue and/or tape, before you need to order bigger systems, which [sadly ] you probably inevitably will, but hopefully not for a long time yet. Paul.
