Donor hair for hair transplant procedures are generally taken from the back of the scalp and neck for transplanting in the recipient site on the scalp. When there are not enough hair on the donor site the second best option is to take hair from the beard as they closely resemble the hair on the scalp and the next options are chest , pubic and hair from upper thighs. The curl, colour, and calibre of the hair play an important role when considering for hair transplant. The patient needs to keep in mind that beard hair on scalp will not grow as long as scalp hair and is slightly thicker than the scalp hair and gives better coverage.
