So you decided to shave? Seems thats what most advise, I dont know I'm in two minds, still thinking of recession pieces, I have placed stock pieces in the recession and it looks good, but like you my forlock is thinning so I would need to work to get that thicker.

there are so many advantages and dissadvantages to both possible ways.

I guess with the recession pieces the big adnvantages are...no shaving, only need really small pieces, easy to use, can use own hairline to help look and undectectibility one of the biggest is the idea of it doesnt really feel like a wig because they are so small and no shaving is needed, rather than shaving it and plonking a wig on,dissadvantages are thinning forlock needs concealer to thicken, limited to scraped back look....

I just dont know....sometimes I think of other ways, maybe just a thick hairline piece, or carry on brushing my hair forward and using concealer....even Hair transplants.

It seems its all I think about at the moment.
