Hello all
Name's chilli and im from the uk. I'm 29 years old and i've decided to nip it in the bud and go for a partial frontal piece. I've done some reading but some of this stuff is a mine field so i was hoping you good folk could make my experience a bit easier to understand.

From the pics you can see i have frontal recession with more baldness on the left hand side and some on the right. The last pic is what i used to look like a few years ago.

I'm guessing i will need a temple flap.. i dont really know what that means or how it will tie in with my existing hair but i've come across some of these buzz words on the forum.

I've been on minoxidil for about 18 months, with little or no difference. My hairline is pretty messed up from the front. The top is thinning out a bit but the back is fine. The left hand side is getting worse day to day with the right now following suit.

I've also heard about getting a cut in.. again no idea what it means or how to do it so i would be grateful on pointers and what you guys think is the best way forward.
In terms of lifestyle i used to be very active, few sports activities every week but few health problems led to inactivity and now i dont do a great deal anymore. I want to get my life back on track and i believe getting my hair sorted will be one less burden to bear.
I would buzz cut it but the recession is very uneven and i know it would look really silly.

Apologies for the poor quality of the pics. Will try to upload some better ones later.
Thanks
