I didn't have much "noticeable" hair loss when I started wearing. However, I was limited to a certain style and was using a lot of toppik. I was also losing hair FAST. I had almost no hair loss up until 29, but shed like crazy in the last 2 years. I did not want to do propecia and most transplant results aren't that great, so I took the plunge, shaved the top of my head, and haven't looked back. Hair has always been very important to me and it's worth the effort to have the hair I want. No one has said anything about my hair being fake since I started wearing, so either they don't know or they don't want to hurt my feelings. The crew I work with would love to bust my balls over it if they knew, so must be the former. I was also out of work for a few weeks when I made the switch, which I'm sure helped as well. It's a bit scary taking the plunge, but I'm happy so far with my decision.
