Hey Guys, hope all is well, I recently had a ht with a doctor recommended on this site, and am planning to go back in 6 months to "play" with my hairline. My question is this, isthere such thing as a pretty "straight" hairline. I see all these pics of guys with re done hairlines and see widows peaks. Im wondering if you could get a hairline that just goes basically almost like a line, filling in the temples etc... Reason being i style my hair down and love it when it is even and a little curly... Any thoughts?

Bleach,

Hairline design is truly artistic work...

Yes, there is such a thing as a straight hairline. However, many people prefer a slightly staggered hairline because most believe (in included) that it appears more natural.

There is no need to create a widow's peak or anything like that, however you may want to consider all the options - even look at pictures of yourself when you had a native hairline or other hairlines that you think might look good on you.

Cheers,

Falc

Sometimes the doc will design a widow’s peak since it can create a look of a lower hairline without using too many grafts. In other words, the peak is low but the rest of the hairline is higher on the forehead. This approach has it’s advantages as it saves grafts for other areas of the scalp. But, if you have good donor hair and meet the criteria for a lower and perhaps straighter hairline, there should be no reason not to go for it. Just remember, you and your physician should be thinking short term and long term, with whatever approach you choose.
