Can you clear up some hair terminology for me?
Thinking about a hair transplant, but I have some doubts about terminology: what is the difference between a graft, a follicle and a hair?
Hairs are the product of the body and is created in the manufacturing apparatus called a hair follicle. Hair follicles grow in groups and each group is called a follicular unit (often called grafts when moved in hair transplants).
