Can one use the beard hair as a donor source?

Yes, beard hair can be used as a donor source; however, the beard hair which is usually taken from below the chin, will be depleted and result in less hair present there. This is a good source for hair provided that you want to shave or not develop a full beard below the chin. The photos shows the result of using the area below the chin as a donor source. Note the thinning of the beard from under the chin which reflects the beard hair that was removed. If this man lets his beard grow longer, the lower density may not show just as it would not show if he shaved daily and didn’t grow out a beard.
