What to do in the future

Since the thinning on the top is "slight" a hair piece at this time for the top only makes no sense to me.

Regarding the hairline..........

1. A partial for the hairline only is more difficult to use compared to a "topper" because it is likely to be quite narrow. It is doable but requires more practice when attaching.

2. The hairline partial should not be attached over existing hair for a couple of reasons: it won't adhere well to hair as opposed to bare skin, and, it will exert continuous tension on existing hair thus contributing to additional loss of hair. It needs to attach only to bare skin.

3. If you only use a hairline partial it will end at the temple points. You side hair really should not matter. However if the length of the hair on the hairpiece at the temple points is long enough to require blending into your side hair then you would trim your side hair as needed based on hair growth speed and appearance. Look into the mirror. If the side hair is too long then cut it.
