When designing a temporal point, the
hairline must be balanced by following
the principles of the Norwood pattern…
hairtx.com
For example, the frontal hairline in B
must have the light gray temple hair
created to match the hairline or the
hairline will look unnatural.

This hairline is too far forward
compared to the temple position
and would look better with a
temporal point reconstruction.
hairtx.com
The temporal point can be defined by the intersection
of two lines: one line drawn through the midpupil
and the tip of the nose and the other line drawn
through the center of the ideal hairline and the
base of the earlobe.

The temple can be divided into the lateral hump,
the temple, and the temporal point, with an
extension down lower, known as the sideburn.

Hairs grow differently in different parts of the scalp,
and they grow in very unique directions in the
temple, which we will explore more in-depth.

sites.
