Pigtails and Braids Resulted in Missing Female Hairline

I wore pigtails as a young girl and braids on my hear in my late teens and early twenties. Now I am stuck with no hair in the front or one the sides.

This question came from a woman that I just met with. It is a complicated case, mostly because the missing hair covers a large area. Her donor density is slightly higher than normal for an African hairline, but there is some miniaturization in the donor area which may impact the total graft yield. Nevertheless, she is committed to having transplantation surgery, even as I explained to her that the result might be less than a full, thick hairline area. Her response to that was, “Any hairline there will be fine”.
