should row planting really be avoided?

hi all,

I've been reading mixed responses online regarding row implanting - some say it will lead to a unnatural look and you won't be able to buzz your hair since it will be noticeable that you had work done. On the other hand, I've heard that your natural hair also has some 'rows' and that as long as it's used correctly it will yield good results... 

The doctor that I'm considering also seems to do some row planting (although it does look like he mixes it up a bit towards the very front of the hairline) . His results seem really good for the most part, but I just wanted to check with everyone here. how does it look?

Not looking like row planting. Some irregularities are there.

@wouldLikeMoreHair,

Itit really depends on what you mean by “row planting“.  If you are referring to even rose where all follicles are lined up and space exactly the same width and length of part, then yes that should be avoided as it will not look natural.

However, staggering the grafts, spacing them at various distances depending on various factors, using different types of grafts such as single, double, triple and quadruple haired grafts, shingling the grafts to aid in density through the overlapping of hairs, etc. does in some ways still appear row-like although the rose want me completely even which is why today’s modern hair transplants in the right surgical hands natural and not like doll hair or cornrows.

i hope this helps.
