Regular Member Magoo Posted May 9, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted May 9, 2004 How low should a hairline be transplanted to take account of future hairloss? I know I've read somewhere that it should be measured from the eyebrows. Can anyone advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mr T Posted May 9, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2004 Magoo, While this probably sounds strange, I remember reading hairlines should be three or three and a half finger widths above the eyebrows. I placed my hand on my forehead with my index finger against my hairline and my eyebrows are just below the ring finger. Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Yes, I heard or read somwhere the same thing Mr.T said, 3 to 3 1/2 finger's from hairline to brow. Don't know where I read this but I guess I'm not the only one who did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 The IDEAL distance from your eyebrows to hairline should be half the distance from your eyebrows to your chin. Incidentaly I checked the 3 finger rule, and it does check - my transplanted hairline starts a little over three finger widths above eyebrows. Of course ideal has nothing to do with realistic - if you are headed for NW7 we'd be talking 13 fingers not 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Either NW1 or NW2, as it does nothing to evaluate temples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dtrojanz Posted May 10, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted May 10, 2004 Another way its routinely done is to measure 2 fingers from the frontalis muscle wrinkle (top wrinkle in forehead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
