I really want a Full hairline. 
As you can see, both of my temples is bald.

Would Min/Fin regrow my hairline (take the chance that it might work) OR would it be better to go for a HT right away?

Correct, i would say the only way to create a completely artificial but undetectable hairline is a wig/system

Mayne you can use a hair volumizer or some or hair thickening product. The additional volume may cover a small of the hairline. And having thick, fresh strong looking hair may distract people from looking at the receding hairline

I thought about using “Maine, hair thickening spray”, ever used that?

the most aggressive thing I would do is put concealer slightly behind your existing/receding hairline. that may work just fine, but again you still run a (perhaps) minor chance of concealer going down your forehead and causing cringy embarassment. But perhaps there is concealer spray/hold that will hold the concealer in place, I am not sure. 

But....if you are asking about creating a completely fake hairline and putting concealer or spray on completely bald skin with no native hair at all - absolutely not. 

Both concealer and spray - without neighboring hair to blend/camouflage, will look fake, especially on the hairline. 

Creating a fake hairline with concealer/spray IMO is the most risky and likely way for it to run down your forehead and/or look fake. 

 

Yep, i hear you.

So the only wait of creating an actual hairline would be to wear a system/wig?

Putting spray or concealer on the hairline is a dicey gamble. 

Spray/concealer is best put on the crown or behind the hairline

Putting hairline/concealer on the hairline or bare skin itself:

1) very real possibility to slide down your forehead causing alot of awkwardness and embarrassment

2)with no neighboring hair to camoflauge the spray/concealer, it might look fake

What’s would you do to make sure i have a hairline? Or the impression of one

Going to a new years eve party this year and i dont want to wear a cap.

Is there any spray/concealer/something Else (other than a system/wig) that will create the illusion of a good stable hairline when applied?

I have used a clip on system with tape along the hairline for 25 years. You would have to shave your hair off to make it comfortable and with the amount of hair you have I can't see the point in wearing a hair piece?Are you on medication to halt your hair loss? All the best!

Hey Gatsby 

im not currently on any hairloss medication. Do you have suggestions of what i could use to halt my hairloss/“grow” new hair”?

Have you experimented with hair concealers such as Toppik or Dermmatch?  You appear to be at a a stage of hairloss where it would be useful.  Excessive balding doesn't allow concealers to work - and you still have coverage.

I have tried Toppik and it worked like magic. The reason i stopped was that it ruined my bathroom totally! All the towels were ruined, it was hard to get the floot clean etc. Although Toppik works like magic on my existing hair, What do i do to “add” hair to the Bald places?

I have some sort of hairloss and i can’t really deal with it anymore. I can’t get myself to shave all my hair off so i have been curious about clip-on hair system recently? 
is it good, do they stay on, does anyone have experience with them?

What’s the pros and cons for either. I’m looking for What would be the best Long term investment

What is the problem a hair system when it’s summer?

I’m Seriously thinking about getting a hair system because my hair is getting really thin at the top. My only concern is that it’s gonna Fall of in public. Have some of you ever experienced that?

Wearing over 10 years - best decision I've made, but its not for everyone.

The first hurdle is mentally being prepared to wear and the possible reaction from others.

If you are not too worried about reactions and open to the potential for great hair you cant lose trying

When you say reaction from others what do you mean?

I really appreciate your comment and everything you Can tell me

Hey all, i hope your having a good evening

I thought that it was time for my very  hairsystem since I have two pretty Big Bald spots. So before i go i want to hear some of your experiences with hair systems in general (i Will get a clip on system).

ive never worn a system myself, but they seem to have their own baggage and are very high maintenance. 

If it was me, I would only wear a system if I was hoping to wear one for a long time. 

If you are planning on getting a HT in a year or less, I would try to cope as much as possible, w/o resorting to a system. 

Change your hair style, grow facial hair, get fit, level up your fashion, wear nice clothes, etc. All of these things will take both your and other's focus off of your scalp. 

But idk, maybe if you really want to you can wear a system if you absolutely can't cope anymore and can't be bald. Who knows, maybe you will love the hair system and put aside the hair transplant journey. 

 

I’m just so tired of having Two Big Bald spots that are very visible, I’m looking i to hair system at the moment because tbh im very busy in my personal life so i dont know when i’ll have to go to turkey and get a HT.

Never put concealer on the hairline! I wouldnt put concealer on the hairline under any circumstance, let alone when you are completely bald there. 

You run the risk of it sliding down your forehead, talk about awkward! Even if this doesnt happen, it would make me anxious worrying about it happening. 

Also its very obvious when someone puts concealer on the hairline and there is no native hair to blend with it. 

Sone random dude in the office building i work in does this and its painfully obvious to even casual observers that he has fiber dust in his hair. 

I get that, and appreciate the comment. 
Would you recommend a hair system then until i got time to schedule a time for my HT? 

I’ve tried Toppik and it’s really a game changer, however, when i try to “create” a hairline i get some very mixed results.

I recently bought Mane hair thickener spray and root concealer, i Will post my results on that later when i’ve tried it.

Does anyone know What spray/concealer is the best to kind of create a hairline or the illusion?

Going to the Doctor next week for an appointment, regarding my hair. 
Before i go, i wanted to know What drugs i should consider asking for a prescription of, which drug works the best - minoxidil, finasteride, or dutasteride?

Possible some of them together? I dont know

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It depends on how well you respond to 5ari’s and how you define where you hairline is? All the best.

What is 5ari’s?

Also my hairline has receded somewhat fast.

i attached a pic that was taken in march 2019, and i think that my hairline back then was fine because i could have my hair slick back without any problems.

There were of course some minor recession but it was managable back then for me, now it’s not. Everytime i do my hair, i have to pull the hair all the way to the right side to cover the temple and it’s a struggle! A real struggle. I usually spend an hour trying to get every little hair right. 

Would it be possible to regrow a complete hairline using drugs such as Finasteride etc or is my only option a HT to get a complete hairline?

What drug is the best that stops hairloss and even promotes hair growth, makes your hair thicker etc.?

I have recently been Reading about success stories regarding people who has been using DHT blockers. I stumpled upon this product (see picture) and it has 12% of Trichogen.

Has anyone tried DHT blockers and if so, how was the results?

How old are you? Are you on medication to stop further hair loss?

I’m 26 and i haven’t ever been on any hair loss medication

I´m 26, i haven´t been trying any of the suggested drugs so far

I began suffering hairloss around 2 years ago, and it’s relatively mild (on the crown and sides) so far but my temples tells another story. I’m interrested in restoring my hairline, is a HT my only option?
