Should I Take the Plunge? (with pics)

RE: Should I Take the Plunge? (with pics)
I was in a similar position as you. I had a receeding hairline (mine had receeded a lot more than yours though, from what it seems in those pictures).

Read some of my previous posts, I was absolutely terrified of the idea of wearing and my first few days were a nightmare - nothing wrong with the piece, just mentally I was all over the place, thinking people would surely be able to tell.

But the people I told said they would have no idea. People who I didn't tell didn't glance up, not one comment (and I know a lot of smart arses who wouldn't hesitate to say something) and no stares when I am out in public. After seeing all these people, I am now 100% at ease with wearing.

It is definitely a positive experience.

However, there is a time committment and a trial and error period at the beginning (which I obviously am still going through).

As the above poster said, it would be good to see some better pictures (further away) so we can see how much hair you have lost or how much you have receeded.

Another thing - everyone will tell you that you should just use partials for the receeding hairline. I know I am a newbie and there are people a lot more experienced than me, but I totally disagree. I think you make even more blending issues for yourself with using partials. It is very easy to blend into the sides and back (especially with the amount of hair you have on your sides and back). But it is a hell of a lot harder to blend with the hair on the top of your head. I think it creates a lot more pressure to what will already be a learning experience in the beginning.

That is only my advice, I know a lot of others will disagree with the last point, but I honestly think partials are a lot more work than a full topper.
