Senior Member Julius Posted November 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 2, 2009 I was on another hair loss forum a few months ago and a non coalition doctor said that hair transplantation could give a Norwood 4 hair like Jonny Depp in this picture: http://www.filmpeek.net/images...s-best-hollywoo1.jpg Some other forum members then replied that JD had already had a ht, showing such pictures as these (though in his blog Dr Rassman said it is more likely due to harsh lighting): http://www.johnnydepp-zone.com...partment/nocolor.php http://www.johnnydepp-zone.com...partment/nocolor.php http://www.johnnydepp-zone.com...partment/nocolor.php http://www.johnnydepp-zone.com/deppartment/toddny.php http://media.photobucket.com/i...s0rz/awe_prem011.jpg http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/IMDHfFxtww-l.jpg http://www.orato.com/files/mai.../johnny-depp-x01.jpg http://www.blog.menshaircareti...7/11/060616_depp.jpg http://z.about.com/d/menshair/1/0/n/2/-/-/07.jpg http://latimesblogs.latimes.co...gna_15205014_600.jpg http://nutritionresearchcenter...8/07/johnny_depp.jpg http://www.johnnydepp-zone.com...partment/swpress.php http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZZ-C...PP+GOSSIP+MOVIES.jpg http://buzznet-00.vo.llnwd.net...p-oscars-2008-12.jpg Personally I believe he has had no work done, putting it rather down to harsh lighting and skin tone/ hair colour juxtaposition in only a few photos, while in the majority it looks like a full head of hair with no scalp shinning through. My question is would it be possible to get hair like Jonny Depp using hair transplantation and if yes under what circumstances (e.g: Norwood Stage, density of grafts, hair cailbre, etc)?

Senior Member Sparky Posted November 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yeah I reckon you could get a Johnny Depp hairline, his hairline isnt that great anyway. Of course depneds on your density. My Hairloss Website http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ronald Posted November 9, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 9, 2009 If you used enough grafts, you could get that hair as a NW4.....the only problem is if you bald further, you might not have enough to cover the 5,6 and 7 areas. Thats why its important to have your NW6/7 area measured.....and your donor density measured by a qualified doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Julius Posted November 9, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 9, 2009 I totally agree with Ronald that scalp geometry is definitely an issue. To obtain the Deppesque look I also think you would need to be below a Norwood 4, or if over that have a NicNitro sort of donor supply. And it probably goes without saying that it would need to be dense packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Davis Posted November 9, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 9, 2009 a NW4 having hair and thickness like JD with a HT? HAHAH be serious First transplant with karamikian 6/05, less than 1000 to my hairline, result was mediocre at best. 2nd HT with Feller 2/08, 3000+ to my front third.

Senior Member Julius Posted November 9, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for your reply but look at shuffle, evolution and spex. I know they are the exception and only shuffle was above a Norwood four but there are also others. There is even a male model I know of who had his hairline restored and it has stood up well in that industry, though he had dense packing and was low on the Norwood scale. Ok lets do the maths; if the "average" Norwood four with 100 cm2 of balding area to cover went to a top clinic and had 6000-7000 grafts removed by strip and another 1500-2000 by fue that would give a density of 75-90 grafts per cm2. The natural density of some people is less than this! So personally I think a density of only 65 grafts per cm2 is needed to achieve a Deppesque look. Also have a look at the photos his hair appears naturally thin. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted November 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2009 Julius, If you use up all your available donor on a NW 4 pattern, then what do you do in a couple of years when you are a NW 5, then NW 6?

Senior Member Julius Posted November 11, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2009 I totally agree with you there, though a bald crown in the case of further progression may be a choice many actors and what not are willing to take.

Senior Member Shyguy Posted November 23, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2009 i was looking at the cover of people magazine today which has a picture of jonny depp as sexiest man alive. it looks to me like he had a HT. take a look and decide for yourselves. his hair looks nice but he does not have whisper hairs at his widows peak, rather it looks like FUE. thoughts? Using Propecia since 1997 Using Rogaine Foam once a day since 2012 Using Niazoral 2% once a week since 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Julius Posted November 23, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2009 I always thought if he had it done it was strip because he hardly ever has short hair. But in his line of work fue would make more sense. The hairs in his hairline are definitely not fine but look coarse. If the sexiest man alive in 09 was revealed to have had a ht it would send men everywhere rushing for a ht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted November 23, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2009 His hair looks much more dense in that cover you're talking about than it does in un-touched photographs such as this one: http://thesuperficial.com//bfm...8_johnny_depp_02.jpg Another: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi...b5/Johnny_Depp_1.JPG It's not a good idea to base your perceptions on the type of photos that make it to magazines.

Senior Member Julius Posted November 24, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2009 Looking at those photos it looks like he had a touch up. They absolutely suggest that something is going on especially the first one. Any ideas on what you think it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted November 24, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think it's impossible to say for sure. Could be a transplant could be natural thinning. There have been rumours about Depp for years on these forums with some people adamant that his hair couldn't be a result of a transplant, but in the close-up, un-touched photos I don't think we're seeing anything a good transplant couldn't do. I'd be interested to know what others here think. I don't know if there's any photographic evidence of changes in his hair. If it is a transplant then I'm sure it was a very small one.

Senior Member Julius Posted November 24, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2009 Go to the "Photo Gallery" in the jonny depp zone then click on "The Department" then on "No Colour". Go down to the pics where he is wearing a beanie and contrast temple areas. It was mentioned in Rassman's blog: http://www.baldingblog.com/200...e-a-hair-transplant/ This is the only photo which indicates he may have had a change in hairline. I agree if it was a ht it was definitely a small one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member runwithscissors Posted November 25, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2009 I must say his hairline does seem to jump around from flat, peaked, a bit thin, extremely thick... though it's likely that this is mostly from photographers recycling old shots with new ones and from him wearing different hair pieces in films (both to give a thicker look and in order to maintain continuity when filming). But yeah, it's likely he's thinned a bit. He is a human being reaching middle age after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Julius Posted November 25, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2009 Do you only think it is thinning? It would make alot of sense if it is. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Severn Posted November 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2009 It all depends on the individual. I do not have any fine hairs at all in my hairline. I have always had thick coarse hair no matter where it is on my head. Before I had any hairloss, I had a few people ask me if I wore a toupee because it didn't look completely natural, but it was.
