My hair has been thinning for a while and although my hairline has receded with age (27 currently) - the main loss has been in the temples. It has always been my plan to go for a piece before people around me started to really notice the hair loss and I think I am close to that point now.

I have been to a few consultations in the UK and most have advised me to shave a part of my existing hair and blend a partial piece with what is left. However because I still have a fair bit of hair, shaving what I have would be a very drastic step for me! One salon however has offered me a partial that would be placed in front my current hair line - filling the temples and linked with a small strip that lowers my hairline slightly!

I have never heard of a system like this and was really hoping to get some advice on how practicable this would be before I take the plunge..
