Regular Member Mike_2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) If someone is a Norwood Va or VI, what would be the maximum percentage they could have input using FUE or DHI using beard and/or chest donor before it would look unusual? Obviously, the hair would have to be kept relatively short if there's a lot of beard or chest hair donor, but above a certain percentage would it be obvious that it wasn't normal head hair? Thanks.

Senior Member Portugal25 Posted August 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) @Mike_2020 I had bald midscalp and crown that has been filled with 1888 beard grafts + 2007 scalp grafts (50/50) and I can’t tell you that it’s impossible to notice the difference between scalp and beard grafts.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted August 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) The lower back part of my crown is 100% beard and chest hair. I was completely bald there before. It doesn't look any different than other hair and it grows several inches long if I let it. There are no issues with length or appearance. For the first two years there is a difference in how it feels if I run my hands through it. It feels a bit more coarse, but that slowly goes away over a few years. I can't tell the difference anymore in the oldest ones that were transplanted.

The candidacy of the donor hair and their percentage of use depend on so many factors: Donor availability Hair calibre Beard density And so on. It would be wrong to generalise that "this specific" amount or percentage would be apt for the body or scalp hair donors to be used as a general average for everyone. 1 Official representative of Eugenix Hair Sciences Dr. Arika Bansal & Dr. Pradeep Sethi https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5crlGyTac2hlU1gHneADzQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Mike_2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Portugal25, did you have retrograde alopecia prior to getting the grafts? You don't look like you did/do in the above photo. Edited August 22, 2020 by Mike_2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
