In addition, the thickness of Asian hair renders their hairlines harsh and unnatural if traditional donor hair is used to create it. In “traditional” strip surgery, since that method extracts hair from the mid-back portion of the scalp—where hair is already thickest, the hairline created in Asian patients tends to be unavoidably harsh and pluggy looking. An Asian patient, having undergone strip surgery, would find his hairline to be extremely harsh and unnatural.
