How Much Hair Density Do I Need in Hair Transplantation?

This [tag]hair loss[/tag] sufferer came to our hair restoration forum  seeking [tag]hair loss help[/tag] and posted the below hair loss question.   Many of our [tag]hair restoration[/tag] forum members gave this seeking [tag]hair transplant patient[/tag] some excellent information.

How much [tag]hair density[/tag] do I need to achieve a natural looking [tag]hair transplant[/tag] with no signs of [tag]hair thinning[/tag]?

You have been given some excellent information from our hair restoration forum community members.

The illusion of hair density  is determined by a number of factors including the number of [tag]follicular unit grafts[/tag] per square centimeter, the number of hairs per [tag]follicular unit[/tag] graft, and hair characteristics  ([tag]hair shaft[/tag] thickness, and [tag]hair color[/tag]).

To create an adequate illusion of hair density with [tag]hair transplantation[/tag], typically 50% of the [tag]natural hair[/tag] density must be achieved between natural hair and [tag]transplanted hair[/tag]  – though this will also depend on  [tag]hair characteristics[/tag].

Other key factors in ensuring a natural hair transplant include, the artistic design of the hairline, the strategic placement of the transplanted [tag]hair grafts[/tag], and the direction and angle of the [tag]hair implants[/tag].
