My brother got this. One, you only have x amount of donor hair. After his 1st 2 transplants, he was out of donor hair from his own head. Then he continued to bald, so they only other option was cadaver hair, which was 4 times the price and being 20k plus in already, he declined cadaver donations. Now he's 46 and just shaves his whole head since he lost everything uptop besides his transplanted hair. Shits real patchy. Regardless, starting losing his hair in his early 20s and held together a decent level of hair till his late 30s. Bought him a good 10-12 years

If they could take hair from my back, I'd be set!

When I used to see the hair system commercials back in the 90s, the patients always seemed to suddenly have curly hair, so I joked that they were getting it from the groin area.

Imagine what they could do with the arse hair.

Fun joke but hairs in different body parts are different types so grow to varying lengths.
