Can baby hairs be transplanted to give the hairline a soft, natural look for female hairline lowering?

Asked By:gigi9278 in Detroit, MI

For female hairline lowering via hair transplant, is it possible to transplant the "baby hairs" that give the hairline a soft, natural look? Can you take baby hairs out (of the front of the hairline), then plant new follicles from back of head, then re-plant the baby hairs in the front? Or extract the baby hairs from back of head at the nape of the neck?

Answer: Fine baby vellus hairs cannot be transplanted. Transplanted hairs are the same texture and character as the donor hair.
