Why Can’t We Transplant Hair from the Dead? They Don’t Need It!

I have very little hair. I have very little hair anywhere on my entire body (except my eyebrows and chin hair). What little hair I actually do have is very thin and very fine. For my entire life, I have never had much hair. I am a female and tired of not having enough hair.

I cannot believe you cannot easily take some hair off a dead person (their not going to need it anyway) and use it for hair plugs. The body will actually reject hair plugs from another (dead) person? I thought hair transplants were superficial and not “deep” implants? I could not take the hair from my back or side of my head (or anywhere else other than eyebrows & chin) I simply do not have enough hair anywhere. I’m not losing hair, I simply never had enough.

Is it possible to get donated hair plugs from a son? My middle son has tons of beautiful thick hair (like my husband) and has offered to donate some? I’m tired of wearing wigs. DNA wise, I took after my father, hardly any hair. Got a very raw deal for a woman not having enough hair in this society sucks.

I’m tired of not having enough hair to be considered “average” looking. I’m tired of wigs. I’m really tired of hearing other women say “oh I have too much hair, it’s such a pain”. At which point I am tempted to rip some of their “too much hair’ right out of their head.

Nature plays dirty tricks on us (genetically). But if you use the hair of a dead person or even your son, it will be rejected just like any organ transplant (kidney, heart). The medications to stop rejection are dangerous, and as hair transplantation is not a life-saving procedure, the risks wouldn’t be worth it. I discussed this before here.
