We all went through this traumatic period when we faced the family, friends and coworkers for the first time. If you take the time to design the template, have a good attachment and cut-in, you will look so much better than you do now that there is no going back to thinning hair.

My advice is to grow out your own hair, so as to mask the thinning area and start out with a shorter hair system. That way, it looks like you got a haircut. Also, if you grow a beard, that will focus the attention of people away from your system and make people think that's what's different about you.

To paraphrase the words of Andrew Zimmern, a bald, food aficionado and host of "Bizarre Foods", on TV: "If it looks good, wear it."
