Glossary hair grouping

natural clustering of hair follicles on the scalp

Hair grouping refers to the natural arrangement of hair follicles in clusters on the scalp. Each group, or follicular unit, typically contains 1 to 4 hairs. This concept is crucial in hair transplantation, as surgeons aim to replicate these natural groupings to achieve a more natural-looking result.
