Below is a question I asked on a different site a while back. I am bringing it back up for newbie ghost readers and newbie posters.
Hairlines are paramount to rounding out a perfect transplant. Natural Hairline designs from the past as we all have seen were horrific at best... before the God Fathers of hairlines came around. Dr. Ron Shapiro first described a transition zone within the hairline. Sort of like walking into the woods from a grassy plain. You first see small shrubs, then small trees, then finally full large trees. The same principle was applied by Dr. Shapiro... being that naturally within a hairline do you see first small one haired grafts, then two haired grafts, and then finally large full grafts of 3or more hairs. Dr. Rose was also considered to be a God father as his refinements in hairlines have be-famed him today. Finally the design disseminated to other private doctors and eventually even made it into the large hair mills. So a standard natural theory of hairlines was confirmed and is practiced today.
A good hairline design will have:
A. No angled hairs.
B Angles between 30-45 degrees
C angles following the donor haired angles because that is how natural they are.
D. A pluggy hairline is most naturally angled from tuftyness.
I think it is good to discuss hairline importance. I will go ahead and say that (B) is probably the best design for most naturally looking hairlines. (A) is what folks have done in the past. (C) is what it would look like in the donor are which is seriously not a good angle for the hairline. (D) is an example of what a pluggy hairline would be... very unnatural.
Please add comments or or opinions to this discussion.
