on the perennial question of density - it is said over and over again that hair shaft thickness greatly affects perceived density, i.e. thicker hair will look more dense than thinner hair, all else being equal (same ACTUAL number of grafts/hairs per square cm/inch)... of course, this makes perfect sense... however, and this is what i don't understand, isn't it also true that thinner hair can be packed more densely per sq/in, i.e. closer together, than hair that's thicker in diameter, i.e. wider, bulkier? in other words, shouldn't the two cancel each other out - i.e. thick hair needs lower density to achieve the same look that thin hair can only achieve with higher density, BUT thin hair can be packed more densely than thick hair, proportionate to the difference in shaft diameter? in other words, if your hair is thin, you'll pay more (more grafts needed), but you CAN get a similar result to somebody with thick hair... or am i reading this all wrong??? please advise... thanks!

thanks guys... yes, i'm definitely doing a consultation with farjo in london... as for the others, i think i'll pick 2-3 more and send my photos online and see what they say, and then pick 1 or 2 for a face-to-face... does that sound like a plan? or is it normal for the face-to-face to occur only right before surgery?

thanks Jason! i've already contacted spex and hopefully we'll work something out... glad to hear online consultations are fine too, saves a lot of traveling, time and money... best, hrv

hello! i am a norwood 3A and am considering a HT. i have the same question as eire42 - who do you guys consider the best? from what i've seen on the internet i am most impressed by dr Hasson and Wong, and also dr Rahal and dr Feller. i haven't had a consultation yet. how necessary is it to have a proper face-to-face consultation (or does an online one suffice)? i live in London and these doctors are in Canada and the US. Also, between these 3 clinics, how do you make your final decision? i'm a purely frontal case, no work necessary on the crown. thanks a lot in advance! hrv
