Hiding baldness (Boufant) (photo)

I remember a patient of mine that woke up at 3:30am every morning with his Class 6 pattern of balding. He let the hair on the sides grow very long and then for 2+ hours every morning, he would style his hair so that the side hair would cover his balding Class 6 pattern. His combover (called a Boufant) was successful, but his life was arranged around his hair, where he could not go to certain places or visit certain people, or go out on a windy day, he generally stayed away from out. The hair transplant changed his life as he was free to do anything he wanted to do.

This man is doing the same thing with I am sure similar restrictions on his life. He does a great job covering the balding frontal area with his side hairs (see arrows). The best ticket to freedom in his life is to get a hair transplant.
