So half of what you claimed? It’s still not even close to 14k+ grafts 🤷‍♀️

But his crown is still bald, so you could assume another 5k grafts to cover the crown.

Dude just watch the vid. The guy has existing hair and then had over 8k grafts which didn't even cover fully cover the the front mid scalp. His brachycephalic skull needed an insane amount of grafts! Draw your own conclusions but there are people with skull shapes which require insane amounts of grafts and the video I shared being one of them.

From someone with a large head this is a super interesting discussion.

A Scottish guy with a large head? I refuse to believe it! 

Haha I also have a lot of Scottish ancestry and have a very large head. We can console ourselves by Googling "IQ and head size".

I'm pretty sure I have a pin head 😢

Haha I think the relationship is fairly minimal. I'm 6'0 with a 60.6 hat size, so probably like a 58.6ish head circumference? So according to @mr_peanutbutter chart I am well within the top 90% biggest heads for my height. Basically I'd look like a Lolipop if I went bald :(

 

I think I'm more of a Meso head shape but I'll still likely need a ton of grafts if I ever get to NW6. So everything's a trade off

I've no idea how it all works. I'm well over 6 foot have a big head and yet didn't need a large amount of grafts for my balding level (NW 5) - go figure!

What's your hat size or head circumference? Did you have a lot of 3 and 4 hair grafts?

@Bandit90 posted a graph that shows the different varying head shapes. I think the most important is the overall shape.

could it be that prince william has a very nice headshape for hairtransplant? he looks like norwood 6. he has a very similar degree of baldness like the german chancellor olaf scholz but i think the need of grafts for decent coverage differ quite a bit between those 2

He’s a good candidate. Age, established pattern, favorable hair characteristics.
