Hi jcoors, I do have a question as yours is a story I remember reading about whilst doing all my research prior to making the decision to wear. My first system is now likely to arrive within the next week or so and I'll be getting it cut in etc. before the end of the month.

I seem to remember you were keen to replicate the style you already had with your first piece for a smooth transition so that it wouldn't be obvious that something had changed and you had had something done. My plan is pretty similar as ive been using concealers, cutting my own hair and styling it in a way that covers the thinning and the recession quite successfully. The plan is to replicate the style I have (even though it's far from the style i really want) with that first piece and then gradually lower the hairline, fill in the temples, increase the density over the next year or so, again to make for a smooth transition.

I do however know that at the time some people advised you against this and said that it would raise less questions from people if you completely changed the style straight away to throw people off completely because it is difficult to replicate your current hair exactly and people are likely to see that something is different if they see you every day in close proximity (work colleagues etc) and if you have a totally different style then they are more likely to accept that it's just a different hair cut and not question why it suddenly seems a bit thicker and fuller. I just wondered if you could advise me as to how you found this transition to your first system and whether you'd recommend what you did and try to maintain your original look or to go with the complete opposite. If anyone else has a thought on this please chime in.

As far as your photo goes I agree that the blend looks excellent and I know you incorporate temple points in your systems which also look excellent. It's difficult to tell with the hairline as its not too clear but overall I think it looks very good.
