Hey everyone. I want to, firstly, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I just joined the forums because I need second opinions and perhaps a pointer to a post with the information I seek. I have come up with a way to get my hair back. If you don't want to read my hair loss story, skipped to TLDR for my proposed solution.
I started balding at around 18 years old. By 21, you could see though all of my hair in direct sunlight. By 23, I had to wear hats everywhere. By 26, it was totally gone. I first experimented with hair systems but found that they were fairly easy to spot. All one needed to do was glance at the front hairline for but a moment and the whole facade would crumble. So then I went to a credited doctor and he told me I was not a candidate for hair transplant surgery, as I had lost too much already (was a good, honest doctor). So, defeated, I shaved my head. I have been shaving it ever since, and I am now 28. I am comfortable with my shaved head, I guess. It doesn't bother me as much as it used to, and most of the time I forget about it. But, I really do miss my hair...then I had an idea.
TLDR?
In order to restore my hair, I will combine the best features of a hair transplant and a hair system. I will graft a front hairline and wear a hair system behind that (the front hairline would only be about an inch deep). It combines the best of both worlds, I think. I consulted my doctor and he said as long as I didn't mind the hair system that he thought it was doable, and that he had done a couple of surgeries like that with excellent results. But I am still worried. I won't be able to just shave my head if it turns out that it isn't as stealthy as I thought. Has anyone else tried this method (I tried searching but couldn't find anything relevant) or have any pictures or 'proof of concept'?
