Design your new hairline
Choose a style, skin tone and hair type, then try hairline shapes and heights on a 3D-rendered model. Then talk it through with our lead surgeon.
The 3D model could not be loaded. Check your connection and try again.
We usually place single-hair grafts in the first 2–3 rows of the hairline, so the edge looks soft. Behind them, grafts of 2, 3 or 4 hairs add density, depending on what your donor area can give.
Sketch for discussion only. Your surgeon draws and measures the real line with you.
This is low for most men. Your surgeon will talk you through how it would age.
Most surgeons place a man’s hairline about 7 to 9 cm above the middle of the brows. A lower line needs more grafts and can look unnatural as you age, because your other hair may keep thinning.
Feminine hairlines are usually rounder, with little or no recession at the temples.
What makes a hairline look natural
- Height: in men, usually about 7–9 cm above the middle of the brows. Lower lines need more grafts and can age badly.
- Shape: most adult hairlines are gently rounded with soft temple corners, not a straight line. Feminine hairlines are usually rounder, with little or no recession at the temples.
- Softness: we usually place single-hair grafts in the first 2–3 rows, in a slightly irregular pattern, so there is no hard edge. Behind them, grafts of 2–4 hairs add density, depending on what your donor area can give.
- Your hair: texture and colour change how a hairline looks, so the designer lets you match your own.
- Future: your surgeon designs for how you will look at 50 and 60, not just next year.
Questions
Questions about hairline design
Can I choose my own hairline?
Yes, within safe limits. Your surgeon draws it with you at the mirror on the day of your procedure, and nothing is done until you agree to the line.
Why will the surgeon not put my hairline lower?
A low hairline uses many grafts and can look unnatural later, because your other hair may keep thinning. A mature line keeps grafts for the areas you will need in the future.
What do the graft zones show?
Where different grafts usually go. We normally place single-hair grafts in the first 2–3 rows of the hairline, so the edge looks soft. Behind them we use grafts of 2, 3 or 4 hairs, depending on what your donor area can give.
Is the person in the designer a patient?
No. It is a 3D render of a computer-made model, not a patient or a result. You can change the skin tone, hair colour and hair type so the model looks more like you, but your surgeon plans your hairline from photos of your own head.
Can I try it on my own photo?
Not in the designer: it works on the 3D model only. For an opinion on your own hair, send four photos for your free plan; on surgery day your surgeon designs the real line with you.

Like any surgery, a hair transplant has risks. They include infection, scarring, shock loss and grafts that grow poorly. Read about the risks
