FUE: Can armpit hair be transplanted into the eyebrows? (Photos)

dishdash
I have a small patch of hair missing in my eyebrow, from a 20 year old accident scar. The skin in that area feels normal/natural though, rather than thick/scar-like. Since, I'm completely bald (very thin fringe left on the back), I was wondering if its possible to use Armpit hair instead? I took few armpit hair and compared those with the eyebrow - the texture/color seemed same. Looked at hair cycle durations and it seems they are simliar - so that shouldn't be an issue either?
