Answer: How many grafts are needed to restore a hairline. In the last 12 years, you have progressed from what looks like a diffuse pattern hair loss with a low-sitting hairline to a Norwood 5 at 40 years old. The hairline at 28 years old picture is closer to a 3 but I sense that there is a see-through component in the areas that today are much thinner. The 28 year-old photo doesn't show the top of your head so it is difficult to compare them directly. You cannot do a complete restoration on a Pattern 5 in one day but you can restore you frontal scalp and hairline similar to the younger photo with somewhere between 1500-2000 grafts. Our best recommendation would be to have a consultation with a qualified hair restoration specialist to determine your best course of action. Also, medical therapy may be a great help for you to maintain your native hair and avoid needing further work in the future.

Answer: Norwood Class 5 with Tuft Your hair loss pattern that is evident at age 28 and 40 is Norwood Class 5 with a tuft in the frontal forelock region. You appear to have good quality hair and very curly. Transplanting curly hair takes special consideration. Do your research well and choose a qualified full-time hair restoration surgeon.
