Using Grafts from Other People
I am a 49 year-old African-American female. My mother and her two sisters suffer from female pattern balding. They are all in their 60’s. None of them have balding to the degree that I have. My two sisters still have the very thick hair we all had as children. I have general thinning all over. The top of my scalp and the sides have very thin, and in some cases bald spots. I never permed my hair. I am now wearing my hair in dread locks. Short of shaving my head, I don’t know what else to do. I would like to see if I am a candidate for transplant. Not the strip kind. Maybe the very small graft units. Do you have any experience in using hair grafts from other people. Or is this science fiction. I do not know if I have enough hair to transplant.
I do have experience transplanting hair from different people but they were identical twins. Otherwise, the difference in our individual genetic makeup will reject the ‘foreign’ hair.
