The only exception to this, I'd suggest are photos taken with flash photography. One question that tends to come from this discussion is: So which lighting exposes the truth? There are varying answers, but here's mine: They all do. Remember, we ARE dealing with less density than one with a full head of native hair, hence the illusion of density. Lighting affects even those with a full head of non-balding native hair (especially when their hair is kept shorter). Straight overhead (around noon), I'd say my hairline looks somewhere in between these two extremes.īut do not be deceived. I have found specifically that direct sunlight hitting my hairline makes my hair appear super dense, whereas the sun coming from behind makes my hair look much thinner from the front. Lighter colored lights such as florescent ones lessen the appearance of density whereas normal or colored lights increase the appearance of density. A quality hair transplant will stand up in all lighting conditions - in that it will look natural, however, clearly, the appearance of density will lessen as the light brightens The brighter the light, the more detail is exposed. I believe the appearance or illusion of density related to lighting depends on several factors:īrightness will clearly influence how dense our hair looks. I have also found, that some lighting is much more flattering than others. Being a hair transplant patient, I've gone from a Norwood 6 to having a pretty decent head of hair after 7550 grafts. I think the best way to answer this question is to discuss lighting. How then is the illusion of density different than having a full head of hair? This means that for the most part one might appear to have a full head of hair, even though it's much thinner than it used to be in their glory hair days. Because donor supply is limited, there is simply no way to restore a "full head of hair", BUT, with proper use of the limited donor grafts/hairs, physician and clinics can strategically place the grafts over the balding region to create an "illusion of density". The phrase "illusion of density" is common when discussing hair transplantation. One can choose to dense up the frontal part of their scalp for example and leave the crown bald, or choose to cover the whole area whereas density will be sacrificed. Clearly those with lesser amounts of hair loss can use their grafts to dense up existing balding areas (assuming their hair loss is under control), whereas those with greater amounts of hair loss has to sacrifice one or the other, density or coverage. Because there is a limitation of how many donor hairs can be taken, clearly these grafts/hairs should be used wisely, taking into consideration factors like density verses coverage. Additionally, there are only so many hairs that can be extracted using the Follicular Unit Extraction ( FUE) or the Follicular Isolation Technique (FIT) without the donor area looking moth-eaten. One has a finite supply of donor tissue that can be removed for hair transplantation during strip surgery (regardless of number of sessions). What people typically mean when they ask this question is "Will I be able to restore my hair to look like the good old high school days (or maybe Junior High for some)?" For some, this may be more possible than others, depending on the level of hair loss one is experiencing, however, before we answer this question, let's take a look at more specifics regarding this topic. Many people ask if they will be able to obtain a full head of hair. I've posted similar information in another thread, but have decided to add more information and post it in this thread since it's a great topic of discussion.
