Category: Hairlines

Hello Doc,

I was gonna ask you if you all could make my hairline like Jamie Foxx and if so about how much will it cost and can you all do as good a job as his surgeon did, assuming that he did have hair transplantaion surgery done to his hair line? Also how do i get in touch with you all?

It might be worth noting that there is debate on the internet (yes, it’s gossip) about whether Jamie Foxx’s hairline is his actual hair, or just a spray-on look. We’ve even discussed it before.

Yes, I can make such a hairline, but it would depend upon how bald you are. If I am to assume that you have an African hairline, then you should know that hair densities are generally lower in African hair (Caucasians have 2.1 hairs per mm square, Asians have 1.7 hairs per mm square and Africans have 1.3 hairs per mm square). I would be that Jamie Foxx has much better densities than other African males. The issue of producing such a perfect hairline reflect issues of supply and demand. If you have only frontal recession and it is limited, yes I would love to give you Jamie Foxx’s hairline if that is your desire. It will take more than one procedure. Cost estimates must be done in person after I examine you. You can call for an appointment to see me at 800-NEW-HAIR.

Hi Dr. Rassman…..I have a bit of a problem and I’d like your advice. I recieved two hair transplants in the 90’s and wound up with a low hairline. I’m 32 years old and a natural norwood 3/4. I just recently removed my hairline via laser hair removal. I’m now dealing with the underlying skin which is scarred. It’s not terrible but I’m very self conscious. I’ve decided on another hair transplant. I’d like to bring the hairline down to where it was to cover any scars. I’m thinking low density with good coverage. My doc estimates that I have about 4000 donor grafts left. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It is difficult without pictures or seeing you in person to render an opinion that has real value to you. You can excise the frontal scarred hairline (done frequently) and then have those grafts transplanted with a normal soft transition zone of 1, 2, and 3 hair units. As you are on the east coast, Dr. Robert Bernstein in NY might be worth visiting for a second opinion. If you make it out to California, I’d be happy to see you.

Hi Dr Rassman! If I pay for lets say 1000 grafts, do I have the right to achieve 2000 hairs (placed in the front) if I only want 1-hair graft in the front? 2-hair grafts don’t look good in the front (by front i mean about 1 inch), it looks too thick. My hairdoctor and I have different thoughts about this! Your opinion?

Thanks and God Jul “Merry Christmas” as we say in sweden.

I generally put a wide transition zone of single hairs in the frontal line. I believe that the ‘line’ is not actually a line, but a zone where there is a transition from the bald forehead to the thicker hair about 1/2 to 1 inch behind. The thicker area should have two hairs each, but that is a negotiation between doctor and patient. Generally, if you make single hairs from two and three hair grafts, there is a hair death rate, as not all of the hair will survive the break-up of the follicular unit. Great skills are necessary to accomplish this with the greatest success rate possible. I realize you are not in the US, but if you do make it out to California or if any other readers come to one of our open house events, you can look closely at the hairlines we have created and I think you will see what I am talking about in person. Alternatively, you can take a look at the Patient Photo Gallery on the NHI website.
