Does transplanted hair have the same texture as your remaining hair?

Question

Is hair frizzy or is texture the same

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Transplanted hair should have the same texture as the donor area where it was harvested.  Sometimes it may grow out with a kinky texture.  This may be a technical issue related to your surgery.  Follow up with your doctor if you have concerns.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

If u ask hair stylists they will tell u yes! The finer the hair the less kinky. There is no texture change with the Fleming Mayer Flap procedure and no need for multiple procedures.

I get this question a lot over the years.If you have coarse wavy hair in the donor site (back of head) than that is the way it will be when we relocate to the desired new location etc... It will keep the same characteristics.

Greg Williams, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

In general, yes. Curly hair is unlikely to get straighter when it is transplanted but occasionally straight hair will develop a wave or a bit of curl. If this occurs with the initial growth, it might resolve with continued growth and subsequent hair life cycles.

John Kahen, MD · Answer

Texture of the transplanted hair will be the same as the texture and have the same growth characteristics of the donor hair.
