Regular Member slimjerky Posted July 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2022 I stumbled upon this youtube video and the guy seems happy but I think it looks horrible mainly due to the straight line of the beard. Also, when he shaves completely the line never goes away. I'm guessing this is due to using thicker multi hair grafts and placed on too straight of a line?

Senior Member SeanT1 Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Personally not a fan but a lot of people seem to like this "barber cut" look. To be honest I haven't seen a good beard transplant yet.. it always looks unnatural. The only time I think people can get away with it if they're filling in an existing beard, otherwise transplanting a beard onto a completely bald jaw looks strange.

Senior Member ciaus Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 The 'barber cut' look, when it comes to hairlines and beard lines, tend to look better the darker the person's natural skin tone is. Same goes for guys that get those sharp outlines in their SMP. For those of us with lighter skin the beard and hairlines have to be more subtle and graduated, or we end up with a fake 'doll-like' appearance. And that's pretty crazy how much of a shadow he still has after 9 months and shaving it all the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to see the 1 year post op photo to judge because early on they always look fake drawn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BDK081522 Posted July 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2022 More than likely, the shadow is present because the grafts were not placed at the appropriate depth. This along with thicker singles or doubles are probably why he can't shave without it looking very odd.

Senior Member Fue3361 Posted July 28, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 This was a pretty mediocre job of a beard transplant. First of all, they didn't design it very well. Second of all, they did make it a little too straight, with no micro irregularities. Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted July 28, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 First of all, Hair of Istanbul sucks. Secondly, never go to a clinic that used scalp hair on beard transplant procedure. it will look fake, thick and drawn on Ive seen beautiful beard results where the hairs are taken from under the chin and implanted carefully on cheeks, with the correct angle and direction ofcourse.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
