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

Asked By:misterpete in England, United Kingdom

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?
