FUE transplant hairs very coarse and kinky! Is this something that is likely to change?

misterpete
18 months after FUE, of which the results were good in my opinion, the transplanted individual hairs are quite different characteristically to the 'native' hairs; really coarse, kinky and different texture. Is this something that is likely to change or do they generally retain their original characteristics from the donor zone?
