Is Zigzag or in line pattern, or random pattern better?

[Kpat131]

Hey,

I saw this question somewhere else, does it make a difference in the results if hairs are inplanted in a line (One directly in front and behind)pattern or a random pattern?

 

The thread went on to say that more high-quality doctors use a random pattern and the cheaper ones use in line patterns.

 

Here is a link to the thread.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Thanks

I've seen some complaints about the grafts looking like they were placed in a 'stadium seating' formation before, so I imagine that some degree of randomness is best.

You'd be better of asking any doctors you consult with about their preferences, though

zig zag definitely looks more natural. A hairline is not a line at all but slightly irregular hair growing from the front hairline. If it looks too straight, it will be a telltale sign something has been done!

I would agree with the sentiment that one of the things that separates the top doctors from average/below average doctors is the design of the hairline/placement of the grafts. Hairlines and hair placement are irregular by nature, and a good surgeon is going to be able to replicate this. Otherwise, your hair can come out looking like a barbie doll with all the hairs fitting nicely into a grid, which generally isn't what people are going for.
