Does a NW4 have more donor supply than a NW6?

Does a NW4 have a bigger donor supply than a NW6 considering donor laxity and everything else are equal? Can you access this additional donor via strip, or would it have to be via FUE?

NW4,

 

Not necessarily. If you asked whether or not a NW4 has a larger donor supply than a NW7, I'd say yes.

 

As a NW6, I still have high sides and my hair loss does not dip down low enough to effect where donor hair would typically be taken.

 

Best wishes,

No a NW4 doesnt have a larger donar supply than a NW6. Actually it depends on the individual, however you are in better shape considering you have less area to cover! There could be a NW6 that has a better supply than a NW1 or 2.

All things being equal, I think the NW 4 and the NW 6 are in the same boat in terms of supply. Even though the NW 4 will have maintained more hair in the pattern baldness area, this hair must still be considered transient. Even if the patient and doctor want to get aggressive with the harvesting - by which I mean harvesting transient hairs - they would probably need to do so via FUE. FUE is sort of a "go anywhere" technique (for better, or worse).
