any drug will restore hair to you (NW6)

If you don't want drugs then a hair transplant, wig, or scalp micro-pigmentation are the best ways to go.
1. Hair transplants could either improve your condition or give you a few new scars for your head so I would make sure to use a good surgeon and even then for a Norwood 6 to get good coverage you'd be spending more than what you'd pay for a nice used vehicle in costs.
2. Hair systems or wigs are pretty decent these days and a lot of actors use/used them and they work great unless you decide to do any strenuous activity or go swimming.
3. Scalp micro-pigmentation (google it) is a bit newer and is basically tattooing freshly buzzed hair follicles on your head, the results look VERY natural and if you can pull off a buzzcut rather well then this is a great choice but you have to buzz it twice a week for it to look correct. Also it requires a bit of upkeep as you'll have to go in and get a touch-up every 3 years or it will fade slowly until it disappears. The cost for this is around $3000-$4000 and a few hundred for touch-ups.
There are probably other things but those are your best choices, My dads friend got a hair transplant 7-8 years ago and it turned out bad so he wasted $4000 on it and has a scar to show for it so I may be biased against them.
My recommendations would either number 3 or Finasteride because the other options have lower chances of working.

Is it possible to grow hair long then? How can I achieve a longer length haircut? And why all the hair systems I've seen don't cover the temple area? They're just oval-shaped and cover the crown and hairline.

This actually looks very good.
What does the cost of a hair piece depend on? How much does the surface area matter?

You can get a hair piece to restore you to a nw3 or 2 and get hair transplanted in front of the hair piece after you have been using it and decide you like it. Or you could not get a hair piece and get a hair transplant from a nw6 to a nw3 again. I am assuming all your hair is gone in the thinning area. If it is not than I would start finasteride

If you are opting for surgery you might try a conservative hair transplant ( maybe 800 grafts at most)? If you've got severe enough frontal recession then focus framing that area first , if it's diffuse perhaps you'll want to double that. If it's predominantly crown issues.., well you've got the point. Small, but aesthetically placed grafts can prove to be an effective approach to better understanding the direction you choose to take toward your future hair loss issue strategies and goals. I might have prefaced that this scenario is based on your donor availability. All the best.

The wig isn't worn on where you have normal hair left. It's for a bald head. There would be no hair to destroy.
