kurv Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I am considering FUE to fill in my temple areas a little bit and strengthen my hairline. I have been quoted between 1200-2200 grafts are needed. My hair is not very straight, so I am wondering if the new hair will curl the same way as the original hair. Thanks for any input.

Senior Member Westview Posted September 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) LOL....I had this same question. I too have very wavy hair (bordering on curly). The answer is yes, your transplanted hair will be just as curly as your normal hair Edited September 6, 2021 by Westview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted September 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2021 It all depends if the donor hair extracted has the same wave/curl as your hair on top. Sometimes hair from different regions grows in different ways. In my case, my donor hair had a wave to it when grown out long and it maintained that wave when transplanted. 1 Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted September 7, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2021 As aaron1234 was saying, if the hair on the sides and back (the donor area) is wavy like the front is then the transplanted hair will be wavy as well.
