Ok...so the question is... Are docs just not using nape hair because there is a risk it will fall out or do they think it won't look better at the hairline?
If it is shown to look better at the hairline, and the particular doctor thinks there is no chance of his/her patient progressing, lets say, past a NW4..shouldn't docs defintely be giving patients this option?
I'm a NW2-3, 40 years old, with extremely slow hairloss and a family history of noone more than a NW3. In my opinion, the chance of me losing my nape hair is minimal to none and a risk I'm willing to take.
Here's another way to look at it. If Shapiro/H&W/others can create very good hairlines now..what would be wrong with one of these doccs creating one of their good hairlines..but then go a step further and make it awesome by adding nape hair? What's the risk? That the nape hair will fall out eventually and just leave their original good hairline. Seems like a no brainer to get the finer nape hair too. I'd love to hear from Janna as to why Dr. Shapiro wouldn't be open to trying this. Or..from any doc on the board willing to chime in. thank you.
