Ideal Hair Type For Hair Transplantation

[mmhce]

This topic is an offshoot from a quotation said by Dr. Beehner.

 

"As I have said before, styling the hair backwards makes it look the best and the fullest. Some men have hair that "travels" well and can be taken back, while some men have wavy, stiff hair that doesn't lay over each other that well."

My question is:

 

What is the ideal hair type For hair transplantation?

 

How is this ideal hair type qualified?

 

By means of the diameter of the hair shaft?

 

And if qualified by curl or wave, how is curl or wave measured?

 

Thanks.

mmhce,

 

This may be an "opinion" type question to some degree, but in my opinion, wavy or curly hair with thicker shaft diameter that doesn't contrast too much in color with the scalp is optimal. These types of characteristics help provide a greater illusion of density overall, even under harsher lighting conditions.

 

As for measuring curl or wave, I couldn't tell you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill
