Regular Member Ryan Daj Posted April 20, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted April 20, 2007 I read research of some British doctor who implanted his hairs into his wifes arm. Lo and behold, male hairs grew from her arm. I was curious if anybody has ever heard of someone with virtually no family history of baldness giving donor hairs to someone else? Just curious because one of my really good friends who I talk about my hairloss to has the same kind of hair as me, just all of it, and no family history.

Senior Member Here I Grow Again Posted April 23, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi Ryan, Not too sure about any new research but from what I know, donor hair from someone other than the recepient does not work as the body rejects it. The simple answer is that the skin is the first defense against anything foreign, so if it is not native the skin will reject it. I'm not familiar with the latest research but I don't think a hair transplant will work when the donor is someone else, even family members.

Big T Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 You are correct, human hair from one person will not grow on another person, as far as i was aware anyway. Unless of course you take anti rejection drugs like you have too for any transplant.. I am not a doctor though, or at the cutting edge, but thats what I believed.

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Here I grow again and Big T are correct. You can't use someone else's donor hair unfortunately...at least, not without taking anti-rejection drugs. I'm sure if this worked it would be a lot more common/heard of.

Senior Member tisab Posted April 29, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2007 just to add i dont think hairloss is that serious of a problem where u have to get help from someone else through transplant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 tisab, Well, some people don't think hairloss is that big a problem and choose not to get a hair transplant altogether . And that's obviously fine as well. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
