Abstract
The progression and extent of male pattern baldness is statistically unpredictable. An approach to the patient with male pattern baldness is suggested, which results in a product that changes appearance in a positive way, is natural, requires no maintenance, and does not deconstruct with progression of alopecia. A technique is described for transplantation of the frontal forelock allowing creation of a soft anterior zone and a dense posterior component. The utilization of donor hair to create a transplanted forelock will eventuate in a product that maintains naturalness regardless of the progression or extent of future hair loss.Keywords
