Designing of a natural hairline

The doctor did not attempt to provide a teenage hairline. Instead he attempted to mimic an adult hairline that has naturally receded. In doing so, he was able to increase the density of the hairline and add a more realistic look. The hair does not look “perfect,” but it does in fact look “natural,” which is as much as can be expected given the known limitations in HT.

Obviously this patient had sufficient density in the remaining hair to provide a result like this. However, since no attempt was made to build an unrealistically lowered hairline, the patient has donor hair left over to perform thickening work in the future if the hair continues to thin.

I give this particular example of hairline rebuilding a grade of A+.

I hear you man, I am the same. I like something visual, it’s easier to relate to.

Yep, you have to be able to talk the talk and walk the walk. It looks good on paper. But whether the doctor can execute that is another story. It’s all about the execution and experience, not so much about theory.

my 2 cents.

Ok. I will explain you with the help of some photographs.

In the following pictures you can see multiple irregular peaks in the transplanted hairline, acute angles at which the transplanted hair are placed, temple closure.
The hairline was designed in such a manner to give a youthful appearance rather than a mature look.
The grafts where placed in such directions & at such angles that which ever way he combs his hair, they will look absolutely natural.

Yep, agreed. Thats one cool hairline. When I go for ht, thats what I will aim for.

Thanks. That is a very natural looking hairline. I think the patient has good quality donor hair, and that really helps with the overall look. I see what you mean by “multiple irregular peaks.” A lot of HT hairlines look too “even”, and that is a dead give-away that work was done. I can spot an “even” hairline from about a mile away. :slight_smile: Thus, I believe the absolute most important thing about HT is for it to look undetectable.

Out of curiosity, how many hairs per cm/2 do you estimate are in the hairline?

Are there any other docs that care to post photos and describe what they did in order to make the hairline look natural?
