Leg hair as donor hair for a transplant
I just never heard of it. Could you fill a bald Norwood 7 head with leg hair like this picture I found on Google? Arms are similar. I assume minoxidil would help it grow longer and thicker
Leg hair has a short anagen cycle and a long or equal telogen cycle. That means that if you transplant 100 hairs from your leg to your scalp, only 50% will be growing at any one time. Leg hair’s thickness is usually under 25 microns, which means that each leg hair will not contribute much to your hair volume on your scalp. Too many doctors with today’s technology now can do this type of hair transplant, but it may be more in the doctor’s financial interest than your need for grafts.
