Drew, you might try experimenting with a "less is more" hairstyle with Toppik. If you can still cut your side hair short (say 1/2-3/4"), you might also cut the top hair to 3/4". Put some toppik in there and finish off with some hair spray to hold the toppik and add texture.

 

This is not something I tried while waiting for #1 to grow out, but while waiting for #2 to grow, the hair from #1 is growing and is still less than an inch. Wouldnt have considered this styling option, but it is better than a combover in many ways.

 

Without toppik, it would be too see through, but putting toppik in takes less time than blow drying with gel, and it looks reasonably good.

 

The only problem I have now is the shock loss on the sides which makes short hair on the sides difficult. Hopefully shocked hair will grow back.

 

Just another styling option to consider.

 

 

Thanks TheEmperor.

 

I will give your recommendation a try.
