556 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Hi all im sure this has been talked about at length but a search just kept resulting in posts with beard transplants in reviews. Anyway my question is, isn’t transplanting beard hair weird? Doesn’t it feel like beard? Rather than head hair? Is it only meant to be done if it’s not possible to get any more from the head? Wouldn’t body hair be better. I have a load of that and it’s a better colour! lol thanks for any insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Doron Harati Posted August 24 Senior Member Share Posted August 24 To make beard grafts look natural, we always mix it with scalp grafts and only do the implantation over the middle scalp or crown area. I myself had a beard procedure by HDC Hair Clinic which looks totally natural over my crown. 1 Doron Harati - Patient coordinator for HDC Hair Clinic.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted August 24 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 24 @556 as @Doron Harati stated it’s best used only in certain areas as a filler along side scalp grafts. Yes the beard hair is thicker and this can help in giving more volume and illusion of density. Beard hair has a much longer anagen phase than body hair. I’ve had over 8k beard grafts utilized in my three surgeries. 3 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
556 Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Thanks for that. Does it feel different when you run your hands through your hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted August 24 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 24 Yes it feels thicker and slightly stiffer in the mid scalp. However I have noticed since my first surgery two and a half years ago that the beard hair is softening up and is taking on some characteristics of the scalp hair around it. I can now style it back much easier than then. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Falling Posted September 7 Regular Member Share Posted September 7 How long do you need to wait before shaving your beard again? Is it the same than with the scalp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a load of that and it’s a better colour! lol thanks for any insight I had my first session of beard hair to scalp about 9 years ago (I used chest hair a year before that). My personal experience is that it first grows in very stiff, kinky, and wiry, but slowly starts to soften up. After 2 to 3 years it starts getting close enough to feeling like scalp hair that I don't really notice except for a few stubborn hairs that take much longer. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a paid forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
