Somebody else will probably answer this more accurately, but I think the hair on top is usually the same or more dense than hair in the traditional donor region.

Dr. Keene has done some actual follicular unit counts in various areas of the head on men who don't have hair loss, and found that it is more dense in the back of the head even when no hair loss is present. This is especially true for the first cm of the hair line, which can be as much as half the density of the back naturally. That is part of the reason that hair restoration surgery is successful (in the right hands) at creating a natural appearance, because at present doctors are redistributing hair from the back of the head, not creating new hair. Also, you can also lose up to 50% of your hair before you notice, in many cases. So you don't have to achieve the same density as what nature gave you originally to look natural.
