Receding Hairline Styles for Male Characters

Blando Calrissian

I've been looking and looking for a G3/G8 'receding hairline' hairstyle similar to that of actor Ken Watanabe. 

Although there are some excellent thinning hair sets in the Daz Shop, like Mr. Banks Hair Layers and Big Boss Hair for Underbelly, those products better capture late-stage male-pattern baldness, when pretty much all of the front and top hair has thinned and/or fallen out. What I'm looking for is something from the early stages of M-P-B, where the man's hairstyle is not that different in thickness and shape aside from being set further back and higher up on the head than previously.

It might be possible to use a forehead/bangs morph of some kind, I suppose, but I've never seen one of those on a hair made for G3M/G8M, only on a few G3F/G8F hairs.

Any ideas? Possible products?

This one looks to me like a receding/thinning hairline:

Pretty much all I can find is the receding hairline with the deep widow's peak as opposed to the hairline simply moving straight back. Some of the male hairs, especially those by  Neftis, have hairline down morphs that you may be able to use at a negative value to recede them. Maybe you can do something with one of the following hairs.

Alternative suggestion: use a dForce hair with a similar style, and either edit existing weight maps or create your own to alter the hairline.

Thank you for all of the great suggestions! Jian Hair happened to be on sale yesterday (75% off, too!) so I grabbed it. The artist I'm working with thought it looked great on the character they're having me design for them, so hooray! 

It would be nice to see more thinning hair products that weren't just 'severe widows peak' patterns, but making hair is tough enough as it is*, and perhaps making thinning hair is especially challenging.

*Seriously, I'm probably not the only person who thought "oh look, Daz lets you create and sculpt your own strand-based hair now! Let me just... um... well but... that's not what I... forget it."
