I understand if someone has extremely silky hair he is not considered a good candidate for hair transplant, as he may not get a good scalp coverage. But if lowering hairline is the prime concern how can one look at this ? If the Person is not completely Bald, and if he is doing this just to lower the hairline, does the scalp coverage factor then come in to picture ?
Answer: Silky hair You are lucky to have silky hair so if you transplant this, you will have a silky hair transplant just like you did before you lost it.

Answer: Silky Hair & Hair Transplant
Silky hair does not rule out hair transplantation. In fact, silky hair can be advantageous if the goals are looked at in a realist manner. The advantage that silky hair gives is that individual hairs are not so visible, which allows very natural results with less-than full density coverage. Prior to the use of follicular units, the grafted hairs often produced some degree of the “doll’s hair” appearance associated with “plug” HT’s. To avoid this appearance there has been a tendency to use high density grafting, placing grafts very closely to avoid the “plug” look. Follicular units allow very natural thinning patterns to be achieved. Fine silky hair makes this even easier to accomplish. This is an artistic endeavor so you need to choose your surgeon carefully, and I would suggest visiting a board certified dermatologist.
