ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hair transplantation has become a major method for improving upper facial contour. Hairline contour (HC) and hair growth direction (HGD) are the main factors affecting postoperative aesthetic outcomes. However, studies on natural HC and HGD in Chinese women are scarce.OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the HC and HGD of hairlines in Chinese female participants. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Standard photographs of the forehead were obtained from healthy Chinese volunteers older than 18 years. Hairline contour features were classified into 5 groups round, bell-shaped, M-shaped, rectangular, and triangular. Hair growth direction was classified into 5 groups Type â A, Type â B, Type â ¡A, Type â ¡B1, and Type â ¡B2. The authors performed hairline corrections in female participants.RESULTS:
A total of 568 women participated in this study. The proportions of participants with different HC features were as follows round (8.10%), bell-shaped (15.84%), M-shaped (23.24%), rectangular (44.19%), and triangular (8.63%). The proportions of participants with different HGDs were as follows Type â A (7.75%), Type â B (27.64%), Type â ¡A (30.81%), Type â ¡B1 (28.34%), and Type â ¡B2 (5.46%).CONCLUSION:
Both HC and HGD were categorized into 5 types in Chinese women. Shaping the hairline into a round type along with the preexisting direction was suggested in most instances.
