Dallas Hair Transplant Surgeon, Dr. Sam Lam, creates this SlideShare on the fundamental principles of good male hairline design. This lecture is primarily geared toward the starting hair surgeon but it also is intended to offer the general public an understanding of very basic principles that should not be violated or the transplanted hairline result will not look natural. This lecture only covers male hairline design. Please look at Dr. Lam’s lecture on female hair loss and hair restoration for more information regarding women.

through the midpupil – this creates shape.

hairline design in a
mirror to make sure
it looks straight.
The hairline can

mirror and while
looking directly at
the hairline due to
one’s irregular-
shaped head.
