Why Does Hair Growth Appear Wiry after Hair Transplant Surgery?

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

It seems like a lot of the guys have wavy hair after a [tag]hair transplant[/tag]. Is that the way their natural hair is or is that something that happens to transplanted hair?

When transplanted hairs go through the first growth cycle after [tag]hair restoration[/tag] surgery, they often are more brittle and wiry. This leaves a more wavy appearance to the hair when it continues to grow.

Often, after a few [tag]hair growth[/tag] cycles, these transplanted hairs return to a more normal texture.
