Chest Hair versus Beard Hair: What Works Best for Body Hair Transplants (BHT)?

This question, from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums, was answered by Coalition [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgeon Dr. Glenn Charles:

Is chest hair or beard hair better for [tag]body hair transplantation[/tag]? Beard hair is coarse and curly unlike scalp hair. Yet, chest and leg hair is fine and straight.

It really depends on the type of hair the patient has on their scalp to begin with.

I still think body [tag]hair transplants[/tag] ([tag]BHT[/tag]), in general, are more of a last resort when there is no scalp hair available for [tag]hair restoration[/tag] surgery.
