Nah, I know your essentially asking what style is best to aid in the illusion of density, but if I could get away w/any style it would be some variant of the spikey/messy look. I would waltz up to the salon, and tell the lady---"texturize the $hit out of my hair & pamper my locks w/your finest of putties. Spare no expense for my long awaited first born has come home!!!"
Interesting, a guy on another forum ALWAYS styled his updates in the typical 'anchor man' fashion (hair parted to one side, dry) as do virtually ALL ht patients and I always thought his hair was just meh- so so. Then after being pushed and prodded by a VERY wise poster he took some wet pics of it pushed up/spikey...It looks fu$King amazing! I was shocked, because I thought surely if anyone could get away w/a good style why on gods good green earth would he wear it looking like some rotted birds nest a top his head?
I'm sure not everyone can get away w/the style in this pic, but I bet anything most guys could have a much cooler style than they opt to do. Even if your top isn't all that thick, so long as you have a dense hair line I'm sure you could push it forward, then up at front w/the right product and have some cool look...MUCH better than the anchor man do.
It'd be cool to see your pics w/whatever you choose.
