Hi all,
Thanks once again for the replies.
Speegs:
thanks for the advice! i've booked an appointment with a hair restoration company in singapore and am waiting for a check up to be set up.
HTsoon:
thanks for the advice too! i've checked out their forums and read up a bit on hair systems... it's a good (only, perhaps) instant solution, but i'm worried about the maintenance costs and have also read on some complaints about how the hair doesn't flow with the natural hair and what not... nonetheless i'll continue my research on them.
matt:
yes i believe so too! however, my hair looks really horrible on its own - it is very, very obvious with short hair that i have very little hair (it looks that way in pictures, with regards to the proportion of my face area in relation to the amount of hair i have, which makes me look super goofy). i've been told i look better with long hair that i grow past my eyebrows such that it creates the illusion of a 'falling off' of fringe off a non-balding scalp. additionally i push my long hair on the sides towards the middle to cover up the balding temples. however even with long hair, it still looks off as my top is extremely flat and you can see it hugging my forehead which makes for a weird look viewed from the side. also near the temples there is an obvious dip which looks weird from a 45 degree angle - basically it doesn't have that full, round congruent shape from all angles. also, not to mention that with long hair (and my super straight hair) the hairstyle gets destroyed in less than a second in strong winds (which is a fairly common occurrence over here).
MrGio:
thanks for the recommendation! to be honest i'm not very keen on taking supplements due to cost as well as perceived ineffectiveness in terms of what i'm looking for (i'm saying this because i'm new to all this and like i have said i am bad at dealing with long waiting time solutions such as supplements that use imperceptible mechanisms to solve the problem), but i'll definitely look into them.
