I am 22 years old and seek to have more beard hair. I have a lot of hair on my beard except on the side burns and half of my cheeks. I have a lot of hair on my body but don't want to risk losing my head hair as donor hair because I keep my hair short. Are there any noninvasive or nonsurgical methods available for me to grow 500 more hairs total (250 per cheek)? I am concerned about doing surgery when extracting the donor hair as it does not come back. Are there less invasive ways to make this possible?
