Re: Natural Looking Hairline
If you look at the hairlines of people who have not lost any hair, you will notice that the edges are very soft. This is because thin hairs tend to grow in the very front. Therefore, a natural looking hairline will be made of finer hairs which progressively thicker hairs behind them. Thinner hairs can be harvested from areas such as the leg or nape. This can be done using the uGraft protocols of advanced FUE.
Other elements of a natural looking hairline include: height of the hairline...

It is more involved than you think....devil is in the details!
Without a doubt a natural hairline design plays a crucial part in hair restoration surgery. As the science advances, skilled surgeons should not only restore the previous appearance but also enhance it to be more aesthetically pleasing. A greater quantity of grafts will look disastrous if the quality of the restored hairline is not natural looking. As there are patterns in the natural world, so do hairlines follow certain patterns. It is difficult to find a one...

Unfortunately there is not great definition of your natural hair...

The artistry of the person performing the procedure. That is why no piece of technology no matter how aggressively promoted can replace the skill and artstic ability of the transplant surgeon. A well done hair transplant should look like the person has never had a transplant.

What Constitutes a Natural-looking Hairline?
Allow me to try and answer this a different way.
Unfortunately in my practice, we do spend a fair amount of time trying to correct work in patients who made the decision to get a procedure done based on criteria other than quality of work.;)
It is a big mistake thinking that just because a physician has a MD after his or her name, that all work is going to be equal.
There are 3 things that I see that makes a hair line unnatural.

Natural hairline
A natural hairline is best created by paying attention to the proper direction of hair growth, by keeping a certain amount of irregularity in the finished product so as not to look "store bought" and by using only 1 or 2 hair hair transplants. Aside from this, proper trasition areas must be maintained and all work should, go well and work with, the patients facial proportions and existing hair.

The not so straight and narrow on the hairline
The hair line is critical in framing the face. The hair line must be natural and in my practice I design a hair line with a fine undulating pattern. A natural hair line in not a rounded distinct line but has a bit a weaving pattern. Additionally, the hair line is designed to blend into the natural temporal recession. If the hair line is designed to fill the temporal recession it will produce a hair line of person in there twenties which is unnatural for a person in there forties or older....

Principles of a Natural Hairline for Hair Transplantation
The subject of a natural and beautiful hairline for hair transplant procedure could take volumes to write. Let me try to summarize it:
1. The hairline must not be so low that it could be unnatural or would not accommodate for future hair loss based on aging.
2. The hairline should not be so high that it does not properly frame the face and create a favorable aesthetic result.
3. The hairline should match the temporal hairline recession to finish the frame o/w the hairline can look...

Natural Hairline
Simply look at men without any hair loss to see what is normal. The bigest issue is supply and demand. With hair replacement surgery, we don't add hair; we just rearrange it. Therefore, experience will help determine the ultimate extent of alopecia, where the hairline should be placed, whether hair transplants or the Fleming/Mayer is the best procedure, and if you are even a candidate for surgery.

The Hairline - Red Flags
Although all aspects of hair transplantation/hair restoration surgery are important, if the hair line is not done with absolute expertise, it can be a dead giveaway that you have had a procedure. If someone says that you have nice or good hairtransplants, then they are not that good. A natural hair line zone should be undetectable and no one should know without your telling them. The surgeon also must have an artisitic skill and be able to design a hairline that fits your facial...

It depends on the surgeon and the surgery.
Also and most importantly your ultimate pattern of hair loss. The normal hairline has fine irregular hairs and gets thicker as one goes back. But the problem is you need to know what your supply and demand issues will be in 30 years.
We have been doing this surgery, both grafts and the Fleming/Mayer flap for more than 30 years. We see patients who started out with a few thousand grafts in the front and went on to loose the entire top of the head and don't have enough supply to finish the...
