When restoring a side burn, in which direction should the application of hair proceed?

When restoring a side burn, the application of hair should proceed inferior to superior. This directionality mimics the natural growth pattern of hair. Hair typically grows from the scalp downwards, so starting at the bottom and moving upward ensures that the restoration appears more natural and aligns with the way hair grows in that area.

Using an inferior to superior approach helps to avoid creating an unnatural appearance that might occur if hair were applied in the opposite direction. In addition to aesthetics, following this method can help ensure better adhesion and integration of the applied hair with the existing hair or skin, creating a more seamless look. The application of hair in this manner is crucial for achieving realism in restoration work.
