Thin Side Hair - Will I Ever Be Able To Wear A Piece?

Hello guys,

I have the big problem that I'm not only receding on the top of my head, I also lost a lot of ground in my donor area.

I attached some photos. Will I ever be able to wear a topper? A full cap is not an option for me. I usually like to wear my side hair between 5-10mm (I have to go to the barber as you can see on the photos as my side hair is to long now). This way it's less obvious if you are thinning on the sides...

What do you guys think?

A thin topper should be tried maybe. It will look weird anyway, but almost everything's better than bald.

Honestly, I think in the medium term the only thing that will work for you with a topper is something like this, where the sides and back are buzzed short to hide the thinning. Otherwise it's at least a three-quarter cap.

Okay, the second picture doesn't look to bad. So you think at least it's possible?

Yes, if you are willing to be flexible about the styling, you will be able to find an acceptable solution. But unless you are personally very artistic, you will need to find a salon with a bit of imagination to work with you.

As Noah said... there are a number of styles you can get away with with buzzing down to 0. I shave... and I know others who do so as well...

Are you mentally ill or something? Where did I say that RU saved my hair?

on a different post somewhere. at least you claimed RU was very effective and caused regrowth on your hairline it was a 2020 post in july u have now been on RU for like 6 years. BUT on another post I saw you write I have been on RU for 3.5 years and RU has been pretty useless. you are confusing as hell. and now you are here on this forum wanting to try out topical dutasteride because well RU hasnt stopped your male pattern baldness apparently. yeah buddy I have read many of your posts.

You are a f*****g liar. I'm using RU since October 2014, therefore 6 years. I never said anything else. Furthermore I got initial regrowth from RU and later from minoxidil but I lost more and more ground over the years. I'm still above my status in 2014. I never said RU is very effective. Stop your false claims and continue to read my postings. Maybe you will learn something.
