Do you brush your hair forward? If so I assume you can still pull that off with ease. I used to do that a few years ago but it became too time consuming and after time it looked like a bird nest on top of my head lol.

So I decided to brush my hair back. This meant I needed to wear as I had similiar recession to you. But the recession wasnt the problem, I have a thin head so simply brushing some of my hairline to the side made me look like a NW0/1.

The problem was I had a high hairline so I used a piece to lower it.

Even though I brushed my hair back I would grow it out so it would flop forward so I didn't totally expose the hairline which made life easier.

I think choosing to wear now would be beneficial because no-one will notice as you have still got a decent head of hair.

If you just want a thicker crown area and leave the front then I'm sure ToplaceUSA could post pictures of people who do that...I'd imagine its very common.
