These are not simply higher vs lower lines. They differ in shape, transition zones, and how the temples are treated. This is also where <strong>hairline reconstruction<\/strong> becomes personalised \u2014 because copying someone else\u2019s hairline rarely produces a believable result on a different face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technique matters, but it only works as well as the plan behind it. Whether you choose a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/blog\/dhi-vs-fue-hair-transplant-best-technique\/\" data-type=\"blog\" data-id=\"16796\">DHI vs FUE hair transplant<\/a><\/strong>, the end result will still depend on how precisely the surgeon designs the hairline to suit your facial proportions, hair calibre, and long-term pattern of loss. A well-designed hairline also considers how the frontal zone blends into the temples, so the overall frame looks balanced rather than \u201cbuilt\u201d. This is why a surgeon-led assessment is essential before committing to any technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes a \u201cmale\u201d hairline look natural (maturity, soft recession, temple balance)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A natural male hairline is usually <em>mature<\/em> rather than juvenile. That means a subtle, believable recession at the corners and a gentle \u201cM\u201d structure that suits the patient\u2019s age and likely future pattern of hair loss. The goal is not to push the line as low as possible; it\u2019s to create a <strong>natural hairline<\/strong> that harmonises with the forehead and doesn\u2019t look \u201cdrawn on\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Position:<\/strong> conservative, proportion-led placement (often measured in cm during consultation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shape:<\/strong> soft corner recession rather than a flat wall of hair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temples:<\/strong> balanced <strong>temple hairline design<\/strong> so the face looks framed, not \u201chelmeted\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In practical terms, good <strong>frontal hairline design<\/strong> for men is a blend of: (1) a slightly irregular leading edge, (2) fine single-hair grafts at the front, and (3) direction that follows your natural hair flow. These principles are repeatedly supported by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/tests-and-treatments\/cosmetic-procedures\/cosmetic-surgery\/hair-transplant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scientific research<\/a><\/strong> in hair biology and surgical technique: hair emergence angle and direction are key contributors to the perception of naturalness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes a \u201cfemale\u201d hairline look natural (lower placement, softer curves, frontal density)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For many women, the aesthetic priority is a soft, continuous frame \u2014 often with a more rounded contour and less corner recession than men. However, \u201clower\u201d is not automatically better. A line that\u2019s too low can look unnatural, especially if it clashes with facial proportions or creates a heavy, wig-like edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shape:<\/strong> gentle curves with a feathered transition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Density strategy:<\/strong> refined density at the front without a harsh border<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temples:<\/strong> delicate <strong>temple hairline design<\/strong> to soften the overall frame<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Female <strong>hairline planning<\/strong> also needs to consider styling habits (parting, ponytails), traction risk, and whether thinning is diffuse.

skin in the correct direction and angle. This is where \u201cmicro\u201d and \u201cmacro\u201d planning becomes critical. In straightforward terms: <strong>macro<\/strong> design governs the overall flow (how the hair sweeps across the scalp), while <strong>micro<\/strong> design controls the tiny, millimetre-level exit angles that make hair lie flat and behave naturally. These details are central to modern <strong>hairline reconstruction<\/strong> and are often what separates a \u201cclinic result\u201d from a result that looks like it was always yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is It Safe to Get Plastic Surgery in Turkey?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T2TE8RB3AMQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Macro direction \u2014 mapping the flow from frontal zone to temples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Macro direction is the big-picture map. Surgeons plan how hair should flow from the <strong>frontal hairline design<\/strong> zone into the forelock and then into the sides. This includes how the <strong>temple hairline design<\/strong> integrates with the front so the face looks naturally framed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Frontal flow:<\/strong> forward and slightly lateral direction that mirrors natural patterns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temple integration:<\/strong> gradual change in direction rather than an abrupt angle shift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Symmetry without perfection:<\/strong> natural hairlines are balanced, not identical<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Micro angulation \u2014 exit angle and direction to avoid an \u201cimplanted\u201d look<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Micro angulation is where realism lives. Hair at the very front typically grows at a shallow angle so it lies flatter against the scalp. If grafts emerge too upright, the hair can look \u201cspiky\u201d or plug-like \u2014 even if density and placement were reasonable. Precise micro angulation supports a <strong>natural hairline<\/strong> because it helps the transplanted hair behave like native hair in everyday conditions (wind, rain, styling products, hats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key micro principles include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shallow angles at the leading edge<\/strong> to keep the hairline soft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Directional variation<\/strong> within a controlled pattern (not random, not uniform)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistent spacing<\/strong> that avoids obvious rows while preserving blood supply<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transition zones \u2014 singles at the front, then blended density behind (creating a soft edge)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most believable hairlines have a deliberate transition: the very front is built with fine single-hair grafts to create a feathered edge, followed by a gradual increase in density behind. This is a core concept in <strong>hairline planning<\/strong> for both men and women and is a major contributor to a <strong>natural looking hairline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surgeons commonly think in \u201czones\u201d, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Zone 1 (Leading edge):<\/strong> fine singles for softness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zone 2 (Support zone):<\/strong> mixed singles\/doubles for natural build-up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zone 3 (Density zone):<\/strong> higher-density packing where appropriate and safe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This staged approach also helps outcomes photograph well \u2014 not just immediately after styling, but in normal UK lighting and day-to-day scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hairline-planning-mistakes-that-ruin-results-1024x572.webp\" alt=\"Hairline Design infographic showing hair transplant errors: ruler straight leading edge, wrong graft types at the front, and incorrect angles.\" class=\"wp-image-17168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hairline-planning-mistakes-that-ruin-results-1024x572.webp 1024w, https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hairline-planning-mistakes-that-ruin-results-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hairline-planning-mistakes-that-ruin-results-768x429.webp 768w, https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hairline-planning-mistakes-that-ruin-results.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Common hairline planning mistakes vs corrected design principles, including softer irregular edges, proper graft selection, and precise angulation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"technical-mistakes-that-ruin-results\">Technical Mistakes That Ruin Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most \u201cobvious\u201d transplants aren\u2019t obvious because hair transplantation doesn\u2019t work \u2014 they\u2019re obvious because the <strong>hairline design<\/strong> and execution ignore how real hairlines behave. A <strong>natural hairline transplant<\/strong> depends on subtle irregularity, correct graft selection, and accurate angulation. When any of these are off, the result can look harsh, pluggy, or strangely uniform. Understanding these pitfalls also helps if you\u2019re considering <strong>hairline reconstruction<\/strong> after a previous procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the most advanced technique won\u2019t compensate for weak planning. When patients compare a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/blog\/dhi-vs-fue-hair-transplant-best-technique\/\" data-type=\"blog\" data-id=\"16796\">DHI vs FUE hair transplant<\/a><\/strong>, it\u2019s important to remember that \u201cmethod\u201d mainly affects how grafts are handled and placed \u2014 but the realism of the outcome still comes down to hairline design choices: the softness of the leading edge, the use of single-hair grafts at the front, and precise angulation that matches natural growth. That\u2019s why surgeon-led quality control matters at every step, not just the extraction phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Common technical mistake<\/th><th>How it shows up<\/th><th>What surgeons do instead<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Ruler-straight leading edge<\/td><td>\u201cDrawn-on\u201d look, especially in photos and bright UK daylight<\/td><td>Soft, irregular edge with micro-variation and a feathered transition<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wrong graft types at the front<\/td><td>Pluggy or bulky hairline<\/td><td>Fine single-hair grafts at the front, gradual density build behind<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Incorrect angles \/ row implantation<\/td><td>Spiky, upright hair or visible \u201crows\u201d<\/td><td>Micro-angulation matched to natural growth, careful spacing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Overbuilding temples<\/td><td>Sharp corners, unnatural framing<\/td><td>Conservative <strong>temple hairline design<\/strong> with soft blending<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cstraight-line\u201d hairline and why it reads as artificial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The human eye quickly detects straight borders. Natural hairlines have small irregularities \u2014 not random chaos, but controlled variation that looks organic. A perfectly straight line can make even a dense, well-grown transplant look unnatural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What goes wrong:<\/strong> the hairline becomes a hard \u201cedge\u201d rather than a gradient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What\u2019s better:<\/strong> a slightly broken, feathered leading edge (especially in <strong>frontal hairline design<\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> this is one of the biggest drivers of a <strong>natural looking hairline<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In clinical practice, surgeons apply consistent design principles rooted in <strong>medical science<\/strong>: soft transitions and realistic borders typically read as \u201creal\u201d at both close distance and social distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrong graft selection (too many doubles\/triples in the first 1 cm)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Graft selection is not a minor detail \u2014 it\u2019s central to realism. The very front of a natural hairline is usually made of finer, single-hair units. If multi-hair grafts are placed right at the edge, the hairline can look bulky or \u201cplugged\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leading edge:<\/strong> prioritise fine singles for a soft appearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support zone:<\/strong> blend singles and doubles behind the edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Density zone:<\/strong> build density where appropriate (and safe) without creating a wall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why experienced surgeons treat <strong>hairline planning<\/strong> as a zone-based strategy, rather than \u201cplacing grafts until it looks full\u201d. The aim is an outcome that remains credible as you age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Row implantation and poor spacing (the pluggy \/ doll-hair effect)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with good grafts, poor spacing and patterning can reveal the work. Obvious rows or uniform spacing can create an \u201cimplanted\u201d look, and overly dense packing in the wrong place may compromise healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Patterning:<\/strong> avoid visible rows; use controlled, natural distribution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spacing:<\/strong> respect blood supply and tissue recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Angles:<\/strong> maintain consistent micro-angulation so the hair lies naturally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From a <strong>scientific research<\/strong> perspective, tissue healing and follicle survival relate to surgical handling, placement strategy, and biological limits. In plain terms: \u201cmore\u201d isn\u2019t always better \u2014 \u201cbetter planned\u201d is better.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Density targets that still look natural (front vs mid-scalp strategy)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When patients ask for a <strong>natural looking hairline<\/strong>, they often imagine \u201cdense at the front\u201d. But the most realistic approach is usually a <em>density gradient<\/em>: softer at the leading edge, increasing behind it. This creates the visual impression of fullness without an obvious border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Front:<\/strong> softness and transition (not a dense wall)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Behind the front:<\/strong> supportive density to prevent see-through<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overall balance:<\/strong> density that matches your hair calibre and styling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy also supports future options if additional work is needed, and can be tailored for <strong>male hairline design<\/strong> versus <strong>female hairline design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donor capacity and safe extraction (avoiding overharvesting and patchiness)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The donor area is not unlimited. Overharvesting can lead to visible thinning at the back or sides, especially with short haircuts \u2014 a common concern for UK men who prefer a tidy fade or shorter styles. A responsible plan prioritises safe extraction patterns and preserves donor integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Donor mapping:<\/strong> assessing safe zones and hair calibre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extraction strategy:<\/strong> even distribution to minimise patchiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Realism:<\/strong> designing a hairline that fits what your donor can support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If donor limitations exist, surgeons may adjust the <strong>frontal hairline design<\/strong>, temple work, or density plan to keep the outcome natural and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cFuture-proofing\u201d the plan (how surgeons design for likely progression of hair loss)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best hairline is one that still makes sense if surrounding hair thins later. Future-proofing means avoiding an overly low, dense front that becomes isolated over time. This is especially relevant for men with a family history of advanced hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conservative placement:<\/strong> a mature, believable line for long-term harmony<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temple restraint:<\/strong> careful <strong>temple hairline design<\/strong> that doesn\u2019t overcommit grafts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Planning for touch-ups:<\/strong> keeping donor reserves where possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re weighing <strong>hairline lowering vs transplant<\/strong>, the \u201cfuture-proof\u201d question matters too: which option best supports a natural frame as you age, given your current density and likely progression?

In other words, good results come from a surgeon-led method \u2014 the same way <strong>medical science<\/strong> approaches any complex aesthetic outcome: define the variables, plan the trade-offs, then deliver consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you\u2019re weighing a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/blog\/dhi-vs-fue-hair-transplant-best-technique\/\" data-type=\"blog\" data-id=\"16796\">DHI vs FUE hair transplant<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cexpert-level\u201d decision-making stays the same: you start with the design brief (what looks natural on <em>your<\/em> face), then choose the technique that best delivers that plan with minimal trauma and predictable graft placement. In practice, that means documenting hairline position in cm, agreeing a density gradient, and confirming how the temples will be blended. The technique is the tool \u2014 the surgeon-led plan is what makes the result look convincingly yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is how experienced teams approach <strong>hairline design<\/strong> so the outcome reads as a <strong>natural looking hairline<\/strong> in everyday life \u2014 not just in a clinic mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Plastic Surgery Prices in Turkey \u2014 Why Is It Cheaper?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HuaC2H2pm9w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Face-shape + proportions: building a hairline that fits the whole face, not just the forehead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The starting point for <strong>hairline planning<\/strong> is your facial \u201cframe\u201d: forehead height, brow position, and the proportions of the upper third of the face. For many UK men, the key is avoiding a low, juvenile line that looks out of place; for many women, the priority is a softer curve with a natural transition. This is where <strong>male hairline design<\/strong> and <strong>female hairline design<\/strong> diverge in practical ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Measured placement (in cm):<\/strong> a planned start point that respects proportions and ageing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leading-edge texture:<\/strong> micro-irregularity for a believable <strong>natural hairline<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zone logic:<\/strong> fine singles at the front, blended density behind for realism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temple balance:<\/strong> careful <strong>temple hairline design<\/strong> so the face looks naturally framed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When done properly, <strong>frontal hairline design<\/strong> is not a straight \u201cline\u201d at all \u2014 it is a controlled gradient, designed to be convincing from multiple angles and under normal UK lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surgeon-led design process: consultation, marking, and intraoperative checks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A high-quality <strong>natural hairline transplant<\/strong> begins before the first graft is placed. The consultation should translate your goals (\u201cnatural, not obvious\u201d) into a plan with numbers: estimated graft range, donor assessment, and the specific areas being rebuilt (front only, front + temples, or full <strong>hairline reconstruction<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical surgeon-led workflow includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pre-op mapping:<\/strong> agreeing the hairline shape, corner recession (if appropriate), and temple strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Graft strategy:<\/strong> singles reserved for the leading edge; blends behind it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Angle planning:<\/strong> macro flow + micro angulation so the hair lies naturally<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Donor protection:<\/strong> extraction patterns that preserve long-term options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quality control:<\/strong> intraoperative checks to avoid rows, upright angles, or harsh borders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also where \u201cshopping by technique\u201d can mislead patients. DHI vs FUE matters in certain cases, but <strong>hairline design<\/strong> fundamentals matter in all cases. A great plan plus disciplined placement tends to outperform a fashionable technique with weak design logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UK trust signals: standards, aftercare, and the \u201cwhat if I need help back home?\u201d question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>British patients often have the same (very reasonable) concern: \u201cWhat happens when I\u2019m back in the UK?\u201d A clinic that understands the UK mindset builds confidence with structure \u2014 clear hygiene standards in the operating theatre, transparent planning, and reliable support once you\u2019re home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operating theatre standards:<\/strong> strict hygiene protocols and internationally aligned sterilisation practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clear communication:<\/strong> a plan you can understand, with realistic expectations and numbers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UK contact reassurance:<\/strong> a direct support channel (including WhatsApp-style convenience) and a UK-based point of contact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aftercare that continues:<\/strong> guidance for washing, swelling, and what is normal vs not normal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For UK patients comparing options abroad, these \u201cprocess signals\u201d often matter as much as the clinical skill itself \u2014 because they reduce uncertainty. That\u2019s also why any serious provider should be able to explain their approach in plain language that matches the underlying <strong>scientific research<\/strong> principles: correct graft selection, correct angulation, and biologically sensible density\/spacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions-faq-hairline-design\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Hairline Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These FAQs are written for UK patients who want a clear, technical explanation of what drives a <strong>natural hairline<\/strong> \u2014 and how to avoid common pitfalls when planning a <strong>natural hairline transplant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1773068038260\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the most common reason hairlines look \u201cfake\u201d after a transplant?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The leading edge is often too straight, too dense, or built with the wrong graft types (too many multi-hair grafts at the very front).
