Quick summary: Can long hair be transplanted?
- Long hair can be transplanted, but it is not always the best solution.
- After the procedure, the transplanted hair usually sheds as part of the so-called transitional phase.
- The hair follicles then begin producing new hair, which gradually grows back.
- Therefore, the length of the hair on the day of the procedure does not determine the final result of the transplant.

Can long hair be transplanted?
Yes, it is possible, but hair length does not determine the final outcome of the procedure.
Will transplanted long hair shed after the procedure?
Yes. Transplanted hair usually sheds during the so-called transitional phase, after which new hair grows from the same follicles.
Why transplant long hair if it may shed afterwards?
Long-hair transplantation can make it possible to assess the placement of the transplanted hair immediately after the procedure, but it does not guarantee that the hair will remain long in the following weeks.
When does new hair start growing after a transplant?
New hair gradually begins to grow after the transitional phase, and the full results of the procedure usually take several months to become visible.
