Unfortunately, this man had a hair transplant surgeon who needed help understanding how the recipient area grafts would be placed in the frontal hairline and behind it. The surgeon has 100% control of the direction and distribution of the recipient area grafts. This man has straight hair, which brings out the improperly placed hair even more dramatically. His hair was circularly placed like the spokes of a bicycle. Even using a thick styling agent, as in this photo, he could not get his hair to look normal. Hair in the frontal hairline points around a center point in the mid-head in an outward direction, following the direction of bicycle spokes.
In the mature male hairline, all frontal hairs grow parallel to each other and point forward, running parallel to the ground when you look straight ahead. A change in direction occurs at the ‘part’ where the hair transitions to pointing in the downward direction on the sides of your scalp. Picking the right surgeon is so important. This look is not easy to live with. Fixing it requires removing the frontal hairline, repositioning the hair in the correct direction, and then filling out the top area that is still bald.
