    TLDR Beard hair is the best for body hair transplants, but the procedure is hard and should be done by experts.
    Nonscalp donor hair harvesting, also known as body hair transplantation, provides an additional source of donor hair for patients with advanced hair loss or those needing to camouflage scarring from previous hair restoration procedures. The beard is identified as the best source of body hair, followed by the chest and abdomen, potentially providing thousands of additional grafts for transplantation. However, the process of nonscalp hair donor harvesting is technically challenging and should be performed by professionals with extensive experience in follicular unit excision surgical techniques.
