Clear explanation
Common concerns include an overly straight edge, abrupt density steps, low placement for age and facial balance, or angulation that fights natural flow.
Some harshness can soften as hair matures, but structural design limits may persist.
Close frontal and oblique photos help separate temporary recovery appearance from durable design issues.

Common questions
Can a harsh hairline soften naturally?
Sometimes, while calibre and styling improve. If harshness persists late in recovery, concern is more significant.
Does a low hairline always mean poor surgery?
Not always. Suitability depends on age, donor reserve, and long-term loss planning.
Can this be corrected?
Some cases can improve with careful planning. HairAudit can provide objective evidence to support that discussion.
