    Glossary Donor Hair

    hair follicles taken from a resistant area for transplantation

    Donor Hair refers to the hair follicles that are harvested from a specific area of the scalp, typically the back or sides, for use in hair transplantation procedures. These areas are chosen because they are usually resistant to hair loss, making the transplanted hair more likely to grow permanently in the recipient area.
