I know it is not maintenance free but sacrificing 1-2 hours one day per week is way better than 15 minutes every day and for crap results that make it impossible to:
- sleep in others' beds
- swim
- wear helmet or cap
- walk in rain or wind
- touch my hair(!)
No, I am not happy with the concealer. It takes care of the top (to some extent) but does nothing for the hairline and as I am 6’5” tall, that’s the main (and often the only) thing people notice.
I never had really low forehead. Even as teenager my hairline was quite high (but not unnatural) and I didn’t really have temple points. Not because of thinning, but just because of individual characteristics. Not every non-balding male has pronounced temple points.
This is picture of my hair at 17. (10 years ago):
