I think if you attack early the transition is much smoother instead if you're fully bald. I attached a more wider pic that shows where I would shave and put a partial in. Once again, all advice is appreciated.

I started losing my hair at 16. All I can say is: I wish had started earlier. It would have saved me years of agony, and the switch would have been infinitely easier. If you've decided you're fine with the idea of wearing hair, don't procrastinate.

As for the partial, remember that you'll continue to thin. I'd definitely order the largest size possible for a partial, then just cut it to size. A piece that is too small can be cumbersome to handle or very prone to lift or detachment.

I'd recommend you have a stylist help you.
