I have a really big forehead. Do I have enough hair to cover a hair transplant. I'm from South Africa.

AyeyeyeNov 28, 2016
I would really like to know if there is hope for me to finally look beautiful and get at least a smaller forehead so that I can be free to expose my face and head to everyone. If hair transplant would help exactly how much does it cost and I would like to do the transplant in South Africa.Please help because I am tired of being made fun of and always wearing weaves.I love to go out and swim but when I think of ruining my weaves it sucks and I can't go out with my natural hair because the big forehead just pops out and I hate it. All the bullying I've went through just lowered my self confidence.

Post photos of your forehead and hairline for a more tailored response.   Ciara styles her hair well to cover a slightly prominent forehead.   The easiest way to slightly lower the hairline is to get a hair transplant.
