So, an average non balding hairline is meant to be 5-6cm, but nowhere actually explains where to measure to? I measure from my hairline and to what point? The top of the eyebrows? Bottom of them? Middle of the eyes?

Answer: It varies Where to place the hair line varies by patient. You need to look at the degree of hair loss, the availability of donor hair and the goals of the patient. The idea is create a hair line that will not only look good now but also in the future as you still may continue to lose hair. By putting the hair line too low you can end up with an island of hair if your hair loss progresses. The only way to tell where to place a hair line is by physical exam. Make an appointment with a reputable surgeon to see what is best for you. Good luck

Answer: Where do we measure hairlines? We measure hairlines from the green line up. This is a line joining the eyebrows. There is quite a bit of variation in what is considered "normal" but 5-7 cm is typical. When a hair transplant is done, the position of the hairline is usually placed at a distance between 7 and 12 cm. A number of factors influence where a hairline is placed including the shape of the head, the shape of the face, the amount of balding, the type of hair and the ethnic background of the patient.
