Is Beard Hair a Good Source of Donor Hair for Hair Transplants?

Beard hair can be used as donor hair but there should be a reason why you would want to use beard hair over scalp hair.  Scalp hair is usually the primary choice for donor hair.  The texture and character of beard hair may not match scalp hair.

Beard hair is an excellent secondary donor source for hair transplant on severely bald patients. Advanced follicular unit extraction (FUE) enables body hair transplant, which can incorporate the use of hair from almost anywhere outside the traditional donor zone, including the face. Though beard hair is coarser than typical head hair, the long-term graft survival rate of beard hair is high enough to make it a valuable resource.

Beard hair use is great for those whose head donor source is depleted, either due to advanced male pattern baldness or prior botched surgeries.We encourage you to further consult with a physician for any medical advice. I am always available for a free consultation as well.

We can use hair follicles under the beard, if you don’t have enough donor area. We are able to use the hairs for better coverage and density.But we can’t use only beard hairs for a frontline design (possible unnaturel look )
