It's never really a good idea to go below the mature hairline (built around the forelock), unless the forelock had moved up too beyond the mature point which can happen past Norwood 3. Reason is simple, if you lower it totally, it can end up wispy and see through even with coarse hair, creating a pluggy look.

I've seen some transformations where the guy was Norwood 3 but otherwise thick hair, got a full hairline from a hair transplant and was a legitimate fullhead but greed ruined him when he should have been enjoying his hair. Irresponsible lowering meant now he had a wispy hairline at the front and donor balding as he lost another 2k grafts = balding territory unlike pre-op. He would have better adding a few hundred grafts in each corner over the first pass to look even better than fullheads or equal.

good points. it's because people seem to forget that a transplant can never mimick optimal native density, so they become overconfident and greedy, instead of working with the illusion

Hard to tell exactly but I do feel you have at least 5-6k FUE grafts which is enough for the shaved shadow look all over...provided you go to the right Dr. I would look at B1sanga, Zarev or Demirsoy, Bicer, depending on where you go.

You do realise I meant a guy who had recovered his hair to a satisfactory standard and then went on a date? Most won't care about his premature baldness genetics even if he owns up because she looks at what she sees right there and if she's attracted and feelings develop, she won't care for those genes. It's mainly girls with serious baldness in their family that are more caught up on this. @justinbieberscombover has been on tons of dates and done well.


This is actually 8000 plus grafts with Hasson and Erdogan, top docs and looks stunning, nice tracks too and he puts a finger up to hair loss at the end :p I bet he has no trouble dating hair wise and he probably is in the attractive bracket from what I can see, he has medium to thick calibre hair which saved him and what an alpha undetectable hairline by Erdogan and transplant in general. I have thicker wavy calibre black hair but only had recession which was dense packed, get complements regularly so transplants do work well with hair loss in the right people. Black hair is a power colour in a way too as @Isaac Newton once said, when the transplant guy here colours it, looks so right on him and dominant.

@DoctorHouse may enjoy this one. You tagged me early in one, you can see the difference here from that one, top Drs but importantly the calibre is key.

This guy is a Norwood 6 with high quality donor hair. Thick hair, dense hair, and less surface area to cover. Most balding men don't have all 3. Based on my dads crappy genes I'm going to end up as a Norwood 7 which has no hope for treatment because of supply and demand. If I get a hair transplant then it's going to look like sh*t.
