What is the correct angle for hairs in the front of the head? Mine seem to stick straight up...?

The surgeon is supposed to view the still existing native hair on your hairline and implant the non-atrophic ones to match the original angle. Generally speaking, this translates into hair that point forward, except for persons that have a "cowlick".

It's also going to depend on how low the reconstructed hairline is going to be. Hairs seem to angle forward towards the very front, especially where the downward slope of the forehead begins, but they often angle upwards at a point slightly further back.

My hairline is pretty high, it wasnt lowered at all... It looks good when I comn is back or to the side, but when I just leave it alone those hairs stick up and push up the native hair around it so it looks kinda funny.

Ive had 210 grafts removed from the front because they were facing completly the wrong way, I have to wait until April next year to get my hairline rebuilt, as the extraction points need time to heal.

What is the cost to have the removed? Does it scar? Were they replanted?

I didn't realise you were talking about your own transplanted hair. If the transplanted hairs stand out as incorrectly angled in comparison to the native hairs then I think your own observations are more important than any opinions that others might have on what is or isn't correct.

Are your problem hairs a significant proportion of the hairline or are they just the occasional trouble-maker?

Quite a few were planted into my scar, but some were hard to get out so they were not viable.

From the look of it I wont get any visible scarring but time will tell. I am having the whole area re grafted, so hopefully if there is any scarring it wont be seen.

Its best to contact BHR for the cost, because I had FUE into my scar aswell so I paid for the surgery as a whole. Just removal may be different.

I had my recessions filled in. Those hairs seem to stand straight up while the hair in the middle falls down. If I comb it sideways or back it looks ok, but I can't comb it down dry because those two areas stick up.
