3 to 4 months to start showing regrowth. It takes 9 to 10 months to show full growth.

How Hair line is designed?

Following are the principles of hair line design.

1. Consider Family pattern of alopecia. Assume that patient will reach worst stage of his family pattern in coming few years and design the hairline accordingly.

2. Consider upgrading the patient look from Hamilton grade VII to V rather than upgrading from VII to I.

3. Encourage patient to have thick frontal forelock and deep frontal triangles. Coverage of vertex is not encouraged in advanced alopecia.

Hairline Shape

The shape of the hairline should be designed in such a way as to match a patient’s head and facial features. For instance, a wider head should have a hairline that matches the wider arc of the frontal scalp. Conversely, a narrower head should be designed with some suppression (concavity) of the outer limit of the hairline. In addition, calculating the number of hairs that must be dedicated to the central scalp, the hairline, and the temple may also influence the possible design of a hairline. All of these considerations must be weighed when contemplating the perfect hairline shape for a particular individual.
