Regular Member dba Posted February 8 Regular Member Share Posted February 8 What is enough grafts cm² on a hairline? to provide enough density for buzz cut look? 35 cm²? 40 cm² ? 45 cm²? 50 cm² or need to have more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Chrisno Posted February 8 Senior Member Share Posted February 8 You'll need almost the same density as the hair behind your new hairline. If not, you'll end up with a hairline in front of the hairline. Not a good look. 2500 FUE by Dr. Victor Hasson, June 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jjalay Posted February 8 Regular Member Share Posted February 8 This is something that depends on the quality and thickness of the hair and it is individual for every patient. If you have thin hair you need more grafts, if you have thick hair you nedd less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ajamilo Posted February 8 Senior Member Share Posted February 8 (edited) I would say the luxurious buzz cut with good density needs more than 1 surgery to get to that level and to be safe from grafts failure because of the blood distribution. Are you Norwood 2 or close to that and have your hair loss stopped? I don’t see that be possible for Norwood 3 and behind because of donor and supply and also due to continuing of hair loss Edited February 8 by Ajamilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Maorizio Posted February 8 Regular Member Share Posted February 8 It’s not about grafts it’s about follicles. A graft can contain 1-6 hairs. So to your answer at least 70-80 hairs per cm2 will give a good looking buzzcut, but only if the native hair is also about the same density Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told the place I have chosen they can 45cm² for my hairline single hairs ... Just thinking is that enough to create density ? If I'd like to buzz cut it?

This is true, I get that its just im a nw7 5a , almost starting again , so to create the hairline again would it be fine for 40 to 45 cm² hairline for density for a buzz cut ?

Anyway, 40-50 grafts per cm2 should be more than enough, as long as the native hair is about the same, otherwise it will look weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted February 8 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 8 To maintain a buzz cut effectively, it's crucial to ensure that the density of the implanted hair matches the density of your natural hair. Unlike other hairstyles where a specific number of hairs per square centimeter might be a guideline, there's no universal figure for a buzz cut. The density of your own natural hair serves as the determining factor. So, when maintaining a buzz cut, it's essential to consider your native hair density to achieve the desired look. 1 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to understand that most good doctors dont work like that. They are placing the grafts inder magnification and according to that they are placing grafts and calculate the density. Nobody says i will do 40 or 50. And of course you can always start with a first pass with lower density to increase the survival rate. After that you can always add and improve density. There are many options. But its not wise to go with density over 50 on the hairline, this might impact the survival rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 9 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 9 In all honesty if your chasing native density of a buzz cut then I would pass on hair transplants. I have no idea of your situation without pics to be fair. However the art of hair restoration is to give the illusion of hair. It doesn’t give you the hair you had at 15.

I don’t mean to sound trite but I’m thinking of how your hair will look at 40, 50, 60, etc. I’m just thinking of your best interests lol my term. 👊🏻 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
