Can Hair Transplants Grow Thick Enough for Long Hair?
I've seen some before and after photos of hair transplants, but none of them ever seem to show a successful surgery where the guy grew his hair long. Like ponytail long.

Long hair transplants
Yes you will be able to grow long hair. The transplanted hair should grow out of the new site as it would from its old sight. If you saw pictures where this was not the case it was probably because the transplant was not dense enough and left the hair still looking thin. Make sure you have enough hair transplanted to get the results you desire and that you go to a surgeon who will be honest with you about what can and cannot be accomplished

Hair transplants can grow long, but density is usually low.
The reason you don't see pony tails with transplants is that the density is low and the hair is pulled back with a ponytail. You should look at the Fleming-Mayer Flap. It gives the most density. The hairline must be finished with micro hair transplants to soften the hairline of the flap.

Length of hair transplants
Generally individuals who have had hair transplants have a diffiuse area of hair loss and growing a pony tail would appear incompatible with their overall appearance not to mention the dramatic change in their "look". The length of the hair depends on the donor site characterisics and it is possible to grow hair that long.
