    Interesting hair comparison
    http://i.imgur.com/4NEGB.jpg

    Which looks better, left or right? On the left, I think the mind "fills in" the blank white rectangle with what would be a normal hairline. On the right, you see my hairline is receded, albeit styled to conceal it somewhat.

    I'd quite like a Photoshop wizard to edit the pic to be a genuine decent hairline.

    By the way, obviously I'm talking about me. My friend is naturally stunning haha.

    I don't know man. I mean would you look better with a lower hairline? Maybe, maybe not. It seems to be a really minimal difference either way.

    That's not really my hairline though... I'm receded, the hair from the sides is styled forward to hide it :)

    It would look better and more natural if it was a genuine hairline at that level, rather than clever styling. When i first saw Dr Feller in London in May, he said his reaction was I didn't need any work. Then he saw my actual hairline and understood my concerns.

    You want your hair filled in to the top of white the rectangle, right? :)

    If you had it filled to the bottom you might end up with a hairline like Judge Napolitano. :eek:

    Regardless looks good styled. If you do go for a HT somewhere down the road I would go for a more conservative hairline rather than the Jersey Shore kind.

    Man you are lucky to have a strong forelock like that, the dudes who develop the 2A and 3A patterns take a much worse cosmetic hit. I think that's how Jude Law managed to stay looking good as long as he did, even though he was receding for so long.
    Anyhow, I see what you're saying here. More hair in the corners would perhaps make it look more natural and a bit less "hand-crafted" (not being critical though, I think your styling approach works well for your situation....believe me I know its a pain to work out a style that is trendy but also conceals loss)
    Your friend there is mighty cute and doesn't seem to mind your hair!

    PS Judge Napolitano needs a hairline wax

    I'd say somewhere within that white rectangle, but I agree. Bottom would be too low! I just obscured the whole of the hairline area.

    Thanks :)

    Thanks 25, haha funny you should say. I have been compared to Jude Law. Shame I got his balding instead of his fame and fortune... :rolleyes:

    I got my Photoshop wish. Not sure what I make of it. I look a bit like a lesbian.

    "bit like a lesbian" haha
    Well you wouldn't have to get that exact hairline transplanted. IMO it is bordering on juvenile. I don't think it's horrible but its also real difficult to Photoshop a hairline in that actually looks natural, or how it would after a transplant.
    I have a feeling after a real procedure, you'd have more forehead than that to style around, unless you demanded otherwise. Probably safer to go a little too conservative than a little too aggressive....if you still feel too receded after a procedure, you can get another one down the road, but the last thing you want is to have to get repair work done to pull grafts out of your upper forehead!
