Tattoo for Crown Hair Loss


Restore Fullness Where It’s Most Noticeable
Crown hair loss, also known as vertex balding, is one of the most common and most visible types of hair loss—especially from above or behind. Whether it’s gradual thinning or a fully bald spot, the crown can drastically change your appearance and confidence.
At The Scalp Master in Los Angeles, we specialize in scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to restore the appearance of fullness in the crown. Using advanced techniques and carefully layered pigment, we replicate the look of natural follicles—eliminating scalp shine and restoring visual density where it's needed most.
Why the Crown Matters
Unlike hairlines, which are visible face-to-face, the crown is often exposed from above, making it harder to conceal. Even light thinning in this area can stand out under lighting, in photos, or when hair is wet.
SMP offers a safe, non-surgical solution that:
-
Fills in thinning areas with micro-detailed pigment
-
Reduces the contrast between scalp and hair
-
Creates the illusion of consistent hair coverage
-
Blends naturally with surrounding follicles
You get the look of natural density—without transplants, medications, or hair fibers.
Ideal for Clients With:
Scars are made up of dense, fibrous tissue that may lack pigmentation, feel raised or sunken, and respond differently to treatment than normal skin. That’s why expert application and real-time adjustments are essential.
At The Scalp Master, we use targeted pigment placement and custom ink blending to replicate natural follicles over and around scarred areas. The result? A smoother, more even appearance that reduces the visibility of the scar without surgery or downtime.
Our SMP Process for Crown Coverage
The crown is a high-movement, high-visibility area, which means pigment application must be precise, layered, and responsive to lighting and head curvature.
Step 1: Consultation - We evaluate your crown loss pattern and map out the treatment zone. We’ll discuss how crown coverage blends with surrounding hair or shaved areas, depending on your style.
Step 2: Pigment Application - Using ultra-fine needles and hypoallergenic pigment, we begin with a soft base layer across the crown, building density over multiple sessions.
Step 3: Layering and Blending - We mimic natural follicle patterns, spacing, and tones—blending into existing hair or seamlessly connecting with prior SMP work on the hairline or sides.
Step 4: Final Refinement - We reinforce faded zones, even out tone, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure complete coverage and symmetry.

Why Choose The Scalp Master for Crown SMP?
The crown area can be one of the most challenging zones for scalp micropigmentation due to:
-
Swirl patterns unique to each individual
-
High exposure to light and scalp curvature
-
Thin skin and variable pigment retention
That’s why we approach each crown treatment with experience, precision, and a personalized strategy. We’ve helped clients across all stages of hair loss and hair types get consistent, believable coverage that looks great from every angle.
