Thanks everyone. I still have doubts about the density you suggest. As you can see, my own hair is kind of a rug.
Take a look at this thread: http://forum.toplace.com/showthread.php?tid=4164 This is 65% and the crown there is WAY too thin for my liking. Compared to my sides/back and what I am achieving right now I would basically look like I am thinning on the top and this I do not want. Take a look at this: http://img51.imageshack.us/i/7nondirectdaylight.jpg/ This is much thicker than 65% and it is already too thin for my liking in the crown area. Also, please bear in mind by design blond hair has higher density than black. I expected suggestions in the 75%-80% range.

Reading through this forum I am sensing the vibe low density is some kind of a fetish here. I get the realism argument but to some cashiers I already look too young to buy alcohol for crying out loud


Paul, is what you are proposing called 'flaps'? Would that not be quite visible in the sideburns area?

Question about glue - I read some good things about GhostBond, that it is strong, not shiny, tidy, lasts long and cleans very easily. Do you think all-glue bond with this is reasonable or should I play around with tapes, too? Are they not too thick? When I think 'tape' I visualise blue double-sided tape 2-3mm thick you can find in DIY stores.

Henry, I am sick of concealer (HairSoReal). One of the reasons for going for TL is to get rid of this crap. Used to be excellent but now I sometimes leave 'skid marks' on door frames or bus ceilings if I'm not careful. Too much mess all around and looks not good anymore. Though I have no idea why cause my crown seems at least as thick if not thicker as on the picture from 3 years ago - see first post (yeyy for proscar and atomic minox).
