Thanks, OP for posting your pics ... I hope you will take all this commentary in the spirit of its intent ... honest feedback to help get the best results.

That said, I'm in the camp w/ Baldrich, Hersute and Porcupine.

I think your color and density match is looking good ... only area of improvement would be the contrast between the position of your front hairline, and the recession at your temples.

Hersute said,

"I think its more common to see guys with less hair on top, yet good temples than it is to see thinning temples and thick hair on top."

I agree w/ this. Does the average person obsess about this stuff? No, as opined by others ... but I agree that hair this far forward, with that much recession at the temples, is not as common or natural a pattern of hair loss. A wearer will know ... a non-wearer might just have a feeling that something is not quite right. I'm always hoping for a look that no one would look twice at w/ too much scrutiny. So I offer my opinion based on what I would want.

As wearers who think about this stuff ... well, once we see it, we can't ever "unsee" it. I admit that it is impossible for me to divorce myself from this perspective. If I were to speculate about what the average person sees, I would think the few who would bother to notice would assume transplants. They still believe, "If you can see scalp, it can't be a hairpiece." They are not aware of the bases and attachments available these days. I'm glad of that ;)

So Yah27 ... if I was looking to get an even more natural appearance from the improved look you are sporting (as compared to bald ;), I would consider moving the front back a bit, adding temple flaps, or styling in the ways suggested (brush forward on sides, or "curtains" style).

Regards and thanks for the pics,
