SMP for a Receding Hairline: Will It Look Natural?
Quick answer: SMP can create the look of a defined hairline, and it tends to look most natural when the design suits your age and face, the edge is soft rather than a hard line, and the pigment shade matches your hair. Take time with the design and do not rush.
Design for the long term
A hairline that suits you now and in years to come usually looks more natural.
Soft edges
A graduated front edge mimics real hairlines better than a sharp line.
