Can I do a hair transplant with my own hair to change texture?

madamep85
I have about 4 different hair textures on my head. Is it possible to transplant one section to another in order to change the recipient site texture? i.e. the back of my head has a loose curl texture while to top has a wiry, kinky texture. Could I transplant hair from the back to change the texture at the top?
