from everyone's experiences do minis offer natural results. I'm trying to recreate my receded hair on the sides and thicken the middle (I'm about a 2a to 3) Should I mix follicular units and minis behind them or just stick to follicular units

Andy...I am only a patient, but I understand micro's can be hair cut from the original hair size groupings say 4, down to whatever needed 1's, or say 2's....Folliculer units is hair that is looked at through a microscope and obtained from the donar area in its natural size grouping..so a folliculer single is a single hair that has always been a single hair.....a micro single may be a single hair, but cut from an original grouping of more than one...I hope this helps...all folliculer HT seems to be the favorite..I did have some small 3-5's put in my crown area and am happy..but also had mainly Folliculer 1-4's in the front and temples.....I would say if you want insurance, go all folliculer...go to a well known respected doctor, ask to see his former patients, even if you must wait or pay a little extra, or even travel, get the best....its seems the truley great HT doctors are always busy doing "Hair", they get more patients and sometimes you have to wait..I waited 3 months...I will recommend a great book..."The bald Truth"..avail on Amazon.com..a great way to learn....good luck.
