Spiky hairstyle after HT?


Recommended Posts

I've noticed that people end up with a spiky hairstyle after a HT?

I understand that the hair will grow in the direction that they are implanted, but I wondered if it is a requirement that they point straight up? is it possible to angle the implant so that it grows forwards?

 

I know people saw hair growing upwards gives it more volume, but I find it makes me look super bald if I do that! By growing my hair forwards diagonally, I can hide my bald bits much better.

 

I'm hoping to get a HT in the near future, but I'm not keen on the idea of a spiky hairdo. It just doesn't suit me. Then again, neither does being bald!

The grafts are placed in a way that you can style however you want mine goes forward, side parting and up not spikey but up and folding over its self i find that gives great coverage i can also have mine scruffy and curly. When you have healthy ht hairs your hair can grow a lot longer and stay looking thick so you'll be surprised what styles you can have the situation and result of styling now will be much different to when your ht has grown in.

The surgeon will implant in the natural direction your hair goes. If you are bald bald, they implant in an angle for a layering effect.

Thanks for the replies.

 

That's good news then. I'm looking to have 2500 FUE with Dr Feriduni or Dr Bisanga. Its a very tough decision. Doesn't seem to be anything between them.

The front 3rd of my head is very thin and the temples have gone. Still quite thick on the top and back though.

 

Nice to know I have a big of freedom with with hairstyle.

Shiny,

 

Like Spanker said, a quality hair transplant surgeon (and transplant team) will replicate the natural growth angle of your existing hair during the graft placement. This should allow you to experiment with a variety of hair styles!
