Would I Look Good With Smp? Or Would I Only Look Good With A Hair System?

[yurguardianangel]

Currently wet shaved my head for the 2nd time in my life but don't like it at all.
I'm a norwood 7 bald normally with thinned out hair at the sides of my head if grown out.
No matter what I do I look terrible.
Normally buzz it with clippers with no guard on and keep a few days of stubble.
But end up wearing a cap or beanie in the end.
Not just I haven't got a hairline my forehead/head is HUGE.

I have had a hair system before from total cover plus which only lasted 4 days before it started to lift. I don't work out or anything, so I guess their glue sucked.
Also it didn't blend into my hair at sides/back well when grown out.
And had a very noticable poly edge.
However made me look ALOT better and much younger, maybe the fringe style I like hid my HUGE forehead that's partly why.

I have researched other places and optima hair seems to have many good reviews and is not too far to travel to.
I looked into SMP, and heard it's very painful to have done,takes many hours and 2-3 treatments.
So I don't know anymore.....
And would it give a shaved head look or just a shade? Still would better though than looking like I do now though.

Will try another hair system from optima this time, and will give up on hair systems if it too comes unstuck in less than 2 weeks.
Would have to be lace based, my head was sweaty/itchy in the poly base total cover plus uses.

Just very depressed from my advanced balding that I can't just shave my head and have a shaved head look. I have this shiny crap with no hairline instead.

I agree it's not a good look. If you can live with it I would opt for the hairpiece. Even if they don't look perfectly natural it's a hugely better look for people in your position. SMP + FUE is usually what I'd suggest but with NW7 probably even that is difficult. Probably not going to look natural enough with just SMP and for most that get it fading and smudging issues usually arise over a year or so.

get a tan and grow a beard

embrace the bald beast inside of you

smp looks stupid

 

[sunchyme1]

lets see the back of your head

how much donor you got?

 

[yurguardianangel]

My facial hair is much lighter and patchy though. And I look terrible with a beard too.
That guy however is toned/muscley and tanned, I'm neither.

 

[sunchyme1]

when did you lose all your hair?

 

[yurguardianangel]

At around age 30, I'm 33 now.
Been having hairloss since I was 19 which sucks.

 

[sunchyme1]

That is the sides when I grew it out before, really thinned out sides too.
I wouldn't be a candidate for a hair transplant as haven't got much donor hair.

Also a full cap hair system would look better I think,than a partial hair system to blend into those awful thinned out sides.

yeah f*** surgery

my condolences man

you bad bad hair genes

personally i dont like the idea of a system, but it depends on the person i guess

you can look into temporary smp. try it out. if you dont like it it will go away.

sorry man, your in a tough situation

 

[UncleMort]

Can they do a temp draw in of mp?

Give you an idea

I would opt for tan tone stubble with the micrpig

You have the dark hair for it

Ah, I didn't notice that. I loved the style but that's it. It came unstuck after only 4 days too.

Hang in there man. Few observations...I think the ravages of sun typically are bad long term, as many people go too far, but you could do with a bit of sun/tan. It doesn't hve to be a lot or some really dark tan, but some color would help right off the bat. You have dark eyes/thick eyebrows that are very nice, and you would pull of a tanned look very well. I personally don't think your forehead looks abnormally large or anything when you are looking straight ahead. The one picture was decieving because you were looking down, which gives the illusion of it being worse than it really is. Also, there is zero reason you cannot get a lot more built/workout. Do something as simple as pushups and crunches, lots and lots every other day and in a few months you'll get a better physique, which will help some. Those are the few things right off the bat that you can do for free that will help you, IMO. As far as SMP, it seems to be one of those things that people either think is good or terrible...no in-between. If you are serious, go to a clinic that offers it and insist on meeting at least one other person who has had it done and see what you think. Again, hairloss SUCKS. But find some small comfort in knowing there are plenty of guys out here who support you and are pulling for you.

take that hair left in your head, put it in your beard. problem solved you're welcome.

you can get away with the bald look your head shape is above average.

 

[iCuckedYou]

Damn i feel bad for you man. Try temporary SMP first and see how that looks on you.

If not, then do a system but you have to find one better than your old one.

Your head shape is not bad at all! forehead is literally invisible with a shaved head. SMP or a full cap, if you can afford and maintain it should definitely be your chosen path. Also, get some stubble on that face! I personally go from a 5/10 to a 7/10 with some facial hair!

Do you have any pics with your own hair?

Sadly I can't work out as such either as I have a very unstable right shoulder that dislocates or sublaxes alot.
I can do certain things at the gym like the treadmill though.

This pic of whats left of my hair.... I posted earlier on here.
I normally use the clippers with no guard on, only grew it out back then for that hair system.

No, I meant pics of you before significant hair loss.
