Camouflaging/hiding hairline from old transplant

I got several transplants over the years, mostly at the hairline but the very first surgery I had was in 1991 and although the doc used line grafts and not plugs, it still doesn't look very natural in front.

I'm not sure I'm ready for another surgery so was wondering if anyone out there has any methods for Camouflaging/hiding a hairline short of combing it forward. I guess I'm thinking about some sort of makeup - any ideas?

Thanks

I occassionally use "Couvre" and blend it toward the edge of the hairline. I apply it with an applicator 1/2" from hairline then after a few minutes use my finger to blend it outwards. It makes it fainter as I get closer to the grafts. It takes some practice. I also had line grafts in the early 90s.

I use Dermmatch colored powder. It works like Couvre. Both will give you the help you are looking for!

Also, Topik is a similarly good product (a colored powder). I've used that before with very good effect. It's almost an art putting it on, but it's very effective once you get the hang of it. The trick is buying the right color to match your hair, then trial and practice of application to get the look right.
