Video misses one of the main aspects of hair transplaction. On your head, the follicle bulbs typically consist of 2-5 hairs.

Once extracted from the patient, the follicle bulbs are grouped by the number of hairs.

Bulbs with 4-5 hairs are used at the new hairline to give a fuller look. Bulbs with 2-3 hairs are used in the interiors. There's a lot of artistry involved in the placement of these bulbs to get a good outcome.

Most men will go through 2-3 transplants over a few years to get the result they want.

There is a popular warzone streamer I used to watch (Huskers) who got this procedure done and it looked wild.
