This looks pretty good, but I think both men could do with some temple points. Maybe it's just because my eye has been trained to spot these things, but it's weird to see such a strong head of hair without any temple points. And those men whose temple points naturally begin at the same level as their sideburns - well, guess what? They also look like they're wearing a wig!

The only person I have ever seen skirt this problem is Mr. Burns, with his handy yet slightly limiting temple flaps. Male pattern baldness affects hair globally across the scalp. This includes the so-called "permanent regions." Just because it's not barren doesn't mean it hans't changed too. I believe it's possible to tell that a man is bald without ever seeing the top of his head, particularly if he is in the later stages of hair loss. A glance at the sides is enough for me to make my diagnosis. This is why balding men in baseball caps look like...well, balding men in baseball caps...This is why bald men in great-looking wigs also sometimes look to me exactly like that: bald men in great-looking wigs.

Hopefully JRob will prove to us with his new DVD that this doesn't have to be a problem anymore. I can't wait, man!

I totally agree.

There is a guy who is a bigwig (no pun intended) at one of my distributors for my retail business. I have met this guy three or four times, and never had any reason to pay attention to his hair.

Then I got into the full cap game and began studying the hairline "theory". I started to pick up on how important temple points are to the overall look of a piece.

This guy I am talking about, his density might be a BIT high, but the color was spot on, and the only dead giveaway (for me) was the bit of recession in the temple point areas.

A full cap isn't the holy grail, but it does solve a lot of the issues with integrating thinning temples. I know there is NO WAY I could even think about the hairstyles I pull off today if I was wearing a topper. NO WAY!

I will be working on the DVD tomorrow and Sunday. It's a lot of work but when I get it finished it will give a lot of people the reassurance that a full cap is a viable option. I will never go back, that's for sure.
