Concealing recession

I've decided I'm getting MHT as soon as I've saved the money but unfortunately, that won't be for a few months yet. I am currently a norwood 3 (18 years old) and the most annoying part of my hairline is the very front. I can deal with the corner recession; it's easy to cover up, but now that forelock has started receding too (it was already pretty damn high) my loss is getting pretty difficult to conceal.

At the moment I'm using brown dermmatch on the corners and the front and also a dry application of black dermmatch on the shaved sides to bring in the side profiles. Does anybody have any better recommendations on concealing recession though, because I always worry that people can easily tell I've just painted my hair on but are too polite to ask about it. Cheers in advance.

What about toppik and those fibres?

I'm considering fibres I just don't know how effective they're going to be on a receded hairline with very few, if any, thinning hairs to keep them in place. Worth a try I suppose.

I heard (and saw) they are very effective.

Theres not alot you can do about a receding hairline since all products require some hair to work with. Best you can hope for creating a solid hairline with a combination of toppik and dermatch. I would not go to over the top otherwise it does not look natural.

Only really needs to last until June, I'm getting away with dermmatch at the moment but if my hairline is exposed close up, the dermmatch is obvious in the centre. I'll try toppik I guess, cheers guys.
