Is this a normal healthy hairline and just a normal cowlick? (Photos)

Richie89Nov 30, 2017
I'm 28 years old going to turn 29 in Mar. I was wondering if my hairline is healthy and if this is a normal hairline and normal cowlick? No heavy shedding just like 20 - 30 hairs in the shower after not showering in a couple of days and also no hair on pillow. Did the finger scrunch face test and it was one finger width away. The three of the pictures that look like selfies are older like when I was in high school about 10 years ago and the rest with my hair pulled back I just took today.

These white areas reflect the absorption of water by the skin of the grafts. You will note that after it dries, these white areas disappear

Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 4000-6000 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.

Dear Hairtranspnat  Thanks for posting your question on realself.com. İts common to see  post-op shedding at the first two Months. So if you see the transplanted hair shed in the 5th month you should visit your doctor.
