In my late teens, I changed tactics, and cut the hair short. For example, when I got a large spot above the ear, I shaved away all the hair on that side. Sometimes I shaved in a pattern with the spots as basis. I prefer utilizing them as part of a style rather than concealing them and being ashamed of them. It was certainly easier for me than it would be for those with larger spots.
Some people have spots of hairloss so large that they have to wear wigs.
