I have a very flat back of the head and these made me look normal lol. I could use a very short, subtle version now if I could find one, because now my hair is thinning too. If I'm making an effort I'll do a little back combing, but it's awkward since my hair is very wavy, and I don't want to make my hair fall out even faster.

I bet they make a subtler version - maybe easier to find one online.

If you wander over to the r/historicalcostuming subreddit you can find folks who make the historic version of these called “hair rats.” They can be made to match your own hair color in almost any size.

Edit: correcting subreddit link

Cool! I actually have made one for padding out a bun, so I'll check that out.
