Can these hair be used in the hairline?

Please see attached pictures, can these hair be used in the hairline?

From my understanding these are not as stable long term as the more traditional donor area up above there so they typically do not use.

No, these are vellus hairs, only terminal hair grafts can be used.

This area is classed as the nape of your neck, and nape hair is generally considered outside of a ‘traditional donor zone’ as it can be prone to miniaturisation, particularly in those destined to become higher Norwoods.

However, given the usually very fine calibre and single hair graft nature of this type of hair , dr’s such as Mwamba seek to use hair from here when recreating temple points and softening or fine tuning hairlines, so in answer to your question - yes it can be used, and it can be used very successfully . . . But like with everything, it will always be subject to being assessed on a case by case basis. 
 

If you want to improve your chances of candidacy for using these hairs for surgery, being on some form of medication will most certainly be a very important factor of consideration.

this is good hair for temples, definetely not hairline

[A Fue Good Men]

Most likely not. It might also leave some visible scarring as well

I have hair everywhere other than my head. My chest hair are really really thick, at some places you can't see the skin on my chest.

Isn't this the nape area ? I thought nape hair could be used for the leading edge of the hairline as very soft baby hair are needed for the first edge.

Thanks for the clear and detailed response.
