SMP Hairline Design: How to Get a Natural Look

Quick answer: A natural SMP hairline matches your face shape and age, sits at a sensible height, has a soft, irregular edge, and uses a shade that blends with your hair and skin. Discuss these points before any pigment is placed.
- Shape and height: Avoid a hairline that is too low or too straight.
- Shade: Too dark can look painted; your provider should test and adjust.
- Book: Folli-Doc consultations are free. See SMP KL.
