Senior Member jagdish Posted August 30, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 30, 2007 I have a doubt running in my mind. 80 single hair grafts placed in one cm2 and 40 double hair grafts placed in one cm2. Which one looks more dense? Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 jagdish, In theory they should look the same - especially from a distance because they are the same number of hairs. Though the scalp may be more visible close up especially if we are talking about hair lines. But hopefully there won't be any double grafts in a hairline as it would look unnatural. Just my thoughts... Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member jagdish Posted August 30, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 30, 2007 I got this doubt because I am reading more about DFUs and TFUs these days. They sound like Minis to me. I wonder how different a 4 hair DFU or TFU and a naturally occuring 4 hair graft. Are not these DFUs or TFUs will grow curly? If DFUs are used to achieve more density why can't it be achieved by making more incisions per cm2 and place FUs? Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gorpy Posted August 31, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi Jagdish, Naturally occurring DFU's are not like minis as explained in Dr. Keene's web site here. They are hairs that are naturally close together, in line, but with a small gap in between. Normally they would be dissected into two FU's, but keeping them together can at times be advantageous. And to answer your question, no they would not be placed so close together by making two incisions. That might be possible, but typically a doctor is distributing grafts evenly over an area based on overall density of placement, e.g. 50 grafts/cm2. As a crude example, consider the following representation of the placement of hairs: DFU (3 hairs placed as is, using a 1.5 mm blade) - 'll_l' Same hairs split into two FU's using .7mm blade placed at 50 grafts/cm2 - 'll__l' Now, getting into things like TFU's is scary and getting a bit carried away, depending on the details of how they are placed.
