Why Is Hairline Design Important?
Hairline design is the most critical stage in determining whether a hair transplant looks natural. A poorly planned hairline can lead to an artificial appearance even when the graft count is sufficient.
How Is a Natural Hairline Designed?
In natural hairline design, facial proportions, forehead structure, age and hair direction are taken into account. The following factors are considered during design:
- Line height suited to facial proportions
- Slightly irregular, natural contour
- Placement of single-hair grafts in the front row
- Alignment with natural hair angle and direction
Age-Appropriate Design
A very low frontal hairline may look natural at a young age but can appear mismatched in later years. For this reason, design is planned with future hair loss in mind.
The Specialist's Role in Design
Hairline design requires experience and aesthetic vision. A design planned together with the patient and harmonised with facial structure is the foundation of a natural result.
