So I've buzzed my hair down to a very, very short length. Thankfully, it suits me. I have the right shaped head, decent physique and a reasonably handsome face. I'm not claiming to be gorgeous or anything but I'm doing okay in the looks department and buzzing my hair off hasn't really changed that.
What sucks is my crown is fairly visible now. It's not a totally bald patch but it's an area significantly thinner than the sides and front located at the top of my head. The easiest example I can give is Zinedine Zidane but it's nowhere near as drastic as his - smaller and there are still hairs there, it's not slick bald.
I'm hoping that the area will perhaps thicken up as minoxidil can get to it easier, and now I've stopped pissing about with styling some hair might grow back a bit stronger and more visible, but I'm not sure. My hairline is fine, a bit of a M shaped widows peak but nothing that causes me real concern and hasn't progressed at all really since I started losing my hair noticeably at around 18/19 (I'm nearly 25 now).
Basically, I was wondering if maybe fue (can't do strip as I buzz it so short scars would be obvious) would be a good method to thicken it up and appear less monk-like. As I'm buzzing my hair so short anyway the Doctor could be quite liberal with where the grafts go not needing 100% coverage everywhere because scalp will always be visible when buzzing on a grade 1/2, and hopefully this bald/thin patch will appear much less bald looking. I don't mind if there's still areas a bit thin, and that scalp is visible seeing as I buzz it so short and am comfortable with this look, I'd just like it to appear a bit thicker and as if buzzing it is more of a choice than a necessity.
(though I'd probably buzz anyway if I did have a full head of hair. Long, styled hair is well and cool but often makes you look like a self obsessed poseur).
Any help/advice would be awesome. cheers
