If I’m hairy, can I get unlimited hair from my body for a hair transplant?
Yes, you can transplant hair from any part of the body to any other part of the body. The problem with body hair is the length of the growth and sleep cycle. Scalp hair grows, on average, three years and each hair sleeps for five to six months. Body hair grows for about six months and sleeps six months. This means that you only get six months of growth from these body hairs and then they fall out and go to sleep. Only 50 percent of body hair grows at any one time. That is why we prefer either scalp hair (primary) of beard hair (secondary) because these hairs grow long. I have seen pubic hair transplanted to the head and it looks like pubic hair, not aesthetically pleasing.
