Where Does the Hair Come from in a Hair Transplant?
I'm a female curious about getting a hair transplant to fill in bald patches on my head. Where does the hair come from used in a hair transplant? Is it taken from other parts of your body or is it donor hair? Thank you

Donor Hair for Hair Transplant in Women
The donor hair in hair transplant typically comes from the patient’s own mid-occipital scalp, meaning the back of the head, (sometimes the sides of the head are used). However, if you have bald patches, as you say, your case may be unique. Some women who have extreme thinning and ample leg hair may qualify for body hair transplant.

The transplanted hair comes from you, typically from an area in the back and sides of the scalp where the hair follicles are resistent to thinning. You can't have hair from someone else as this would cause a serious rejection reaction in your body.
