@Yorkie,

In my experience its not really the people you see everyday that notice ANYTHING.
After a while, we all actually stop looking at the people we see everyday and its more of a subliminal recognition.

Its the people you've not seen in a while that might notice a change.
You could spend a year or two gradually altering your hairline to avoid the people around you noticing the transition and then bump in to someone you've not seen in years and to them you'll look different.
But usually, in that scenario, those people just notice you look better and will say so.
They won't be able to identify what has changed exactly and assume that time and aging have been kind to you.

Ha! I wish I was a master of photoshop!
But its so much easier to just alter an image than to try to explain the suggested alterations and (I think) shows what a huge difference a few tweaks can make.
I think all sellers should offer a similar sort of service because, after all, wearing hair is about improving or restoring what you look like and we all want to know if its going to work before we embark on it.

@jcoors

Please understand I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the shape of your current hairline. I see lots of people who naturally have a similar one.
I just feel that as we have the choice to improve upon nature, we should use that opportunity to achieve the most flattering result.
To me its all about forehead proportions and face shape.
But I know from my own experiences that you can get very used to seeing something in the mirror and its easier to be more comfortable seeing that, than to embrace what seems like a radical change.
If you wanted to keep what you've got shape wise but improve the overall look, I would also suggest you try a new style.
Try styling the hair brushed forward from the temples, up towards the centre of your forehead, with a bit of lift at the front.
I'll see if I can find a picture to demonstrate what I mean and I'll add it here later.

Ok, here we go.
below are not the best examples of what I meant, but they should give you the general idea:
