Most individuals have one clockwise hair whorl at a single point on the scalp but some have more than one. Hair whorl is a spiral arrangement of the hairs at the crown of the head. It can be either clockwise or counterclockwise in direction of growth depending on the genetic inheritance.
The hair whorl rotation can indicate the direction of the hair whether it grows in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, by observing the hair around the hair whorl and down to the forehead. You will see the hair root denoting the angle and direction of your hair. Another way to know the hair direction, you just put your hair to the left and right and notice yourself which one is easier and looks more natural.
Actually, the hair whorl on the head shouldn't be a problem at all. However, for some people, the pattern and nature of hair whorl may cause some problems and anxiety. Let's see if you have any kind of these problems.
The hair around the hair whorl grows without a certain direction. No matter how hard you try brushing your hair to cover it, it’s useless. Some people have 2-3 hair whorls, and sometimes they're in places they shouldn't be, like the front of the head, forehead or temples. This annoys you more and more until it becomes the loss of confidence.
A common problem that occurs at an early age is that the hair around the hair whorl gradually becomes thinner and wider until the beginning of hair thinning and baldness is noticed. “O” shape hair loss and thinning on the top of the head is the most common. If you are experiencing this kind of problem, you should always keep observing the changes before it’s too late.
So how can we solve this problem? Hair transplantation is a way out, especially with our NEAT technique. The advantage of NEAT is stand-by-strand insertion. In the case of hair transplant on the hair whorl to increase the hair density, the doctor will design the implantation direction to be the same with the direction of hair whorl, either clockwise or counterclockwise. This is to make your new hair blend in with the original hair, delivering natural look.
At Namnin, our outstanding standard is that each patient will be provided a personalized treatment. If you come to see a doctor with an early-stage problem, the doctor will recommend an appropriate treatment first. But in case of severe hair problem, a hair transplantation by the expert doctor will be recommended for a long- term benefit.
If you are one of those who are experiencing the hair loss or thinning at the early stage hair, you shouldn't wait until the problem becomes unsolvable. Consulting a medical professional is the right and most beneficial start for you.
