Curly beard straight hair - If I transplant hair from scalp to cheeks can it look strange?

Question

I have dense hair growth on my mustache-area, under my lip and on my chin. I have however almost no hair on my cheeks. I have never let my facial hair grow more then about 5 mm so I dont know if it is curly, I have slight wavy hair (straight if under 5 cm) and somewhat curly hair in armpits and lower region. If I transplant hair from scalp to cheeks can it look strange?

Transplanting hair from your scalp to your cheeks can work well to fill in areas where facial hair is sparse, but it’s important to consider the difference in hair texture. Scalp hair tends to be straighter and finer than beard hair, which can create a contrast if your natural beard hair grows in more curly or coarse.
That said, the results usually look natural if the transplanted hairs are allowed to grow out and blend with your existing beard over time. Over the months following the transplant, your facial hair will likely soften and take on more of a natural appearance. If your scalp hair is wavy and your beard hair is still relatively short, the difference may be less noticeable.
