Favorite Hairlines

[sunsurfhair]

Thought this would be a fun post and useful as well! What are everyone’s favorite or ideal hairlines? I’ll start with the obvious, Mr Brad Pitt. I think it’s one of his best features and it’s incredible the amount of styles he can pull off and look great.

I'll throw out one who prob wouldn't even make top 100 for most here, but he's fresh on my mind lately from a 90's music binge.  He didn't often wear it back like in this pic and some would say even bordering into 5head territory, but dude was an overall aesthetic force imo.  Chris Cornell (RIP).

This is insanity and that poor kid needed counseling and not a hair transplant. In so many ways I can relate to him when I was 18 because I really wanted a low hairline as I always had a high hairline on top of the very early beginnings of MPB. This clinic really needs to made accountable for agreeing to do this. In years to come (and I mean in the next 5-10 years) this patient is going to realize what he has gone through and will be looking for a way to repair this. I feel so sorry for this kid. I really do. 😭😖

Andrew Gray (has this hair at 35 years old btw) has the best hairline I've ever seen.

I have a similar hairline but without temples, for which I'll get a transplant in the future.

I actually think his case is salvagable if he has 0 hairloss as an adult.  I think at that point, if I was in his shoes, I would get a 2nd transplant and bring in the temporal region more to the sides.  What really destroys the naturalness (other than how obsurdly low it is) is that he doesn't have the temples anywhere close enough.  That low a forehead is always much more narrow naturally.

So yeah, box it in more on the sides, maybe remove some grafts and actually introduce some micro irregularities, and it could look quite presentable.

I'm not advocating for anyone to have a hairline this low, and it would obviously look way better if it was higher, but I don't think it's a lost cause if he actually ends up having no MPB.

I think he needs a higher hairline (IMO halfway between what he had and what he has) and as you said, more prominent temples, which are crucial for a natural looking low set hairline.

Gerard Butler with and without temples (edit found in Feriduni's website).

Tremendous difference, notice how his hairline looks much higher set without them despite being the same length.

I don't disagree with you.  But I'm not a fan of removing grafts to make a higher hairline, as there is often scar tissue that makes the skin look pretty offputting.  I think in his case, he's better off just making narrower temples and removing only select grafts to add irregularities and a softer hairline.  Removing an entire inch of transplanted area I think would be a last resort in my book.

Imagine if that kid starts losing his hair. He will have a horse shoe all the way around.. head looking like Jupiter

Also, speaking of hairlines, I'm very happy with my own hairline atm:
The new height/width really compliment my face.  Very hard to tell it was a transplant as well, considering graft count.



As for a perfectly aesthetic hairline, something like this i find most aesthetic:



As for real life people, hard to beat Brad Pitt when he was young:



Something like this is also very solid:


But hairline perfection also depends on the person's face, the person's forehead shape, and other factors.  There's no 1 size fits all.

This photo is altered though. If you watch the video where the clinic presents the case (including this photo) the hairline isn't as low as in this altered version. The hairline was still taken too far down (especially when not adding temple points) but not to this crazy extent.

Woahhh, that misguided kid!  Never go full...LEGO?

Simple misunderstanding/language barrier, etc etc??  Thought he was ordering the 'Turkish Delight' as a lunch option?

It happens ☹️

This hairline is glorious

I wonder if Brad Pitt is all natty? 

I'm always a bit suspicious when celebrities have perfect hair.

everyone has a different taste. if i look at the proportion of his face, i would say the frontal hairline is a tad too low but that's just me.

What makes you think so?  He said it, saw an increase in density over years?

[Curious25]

I think 99% of holllywood are on either finasteride or dutasteride. 
 

It’s similar to pondering whether the likes of Chris Hemsworth or Huw Jackman take PED’s for certain roles. 
 

Multi billion dollar industry. You do what you’ve got to do.
