What is the difference between hair and graft?

The Short Answer

A hair follicle refers to the structure in the scalp that grows a single hair, while a graft is a piece of scalp tissue containing one or more hair follicles. The number of grafts transplanted is not always equal to the number of hairs.

Why Choose DHI India for Your Hair Transplant?

The Long Answer

Hair refers to a single strand that grows from the scalp and has two components: hair shaft and hair follicle. The hair shaft is the visible part of the hair, whereas the follicle is present in the skin, which facilitates the growth of the hair shaft. The hair follicle is a very small, tube-like structure in the skin. Each follicle can produce one or more hair strands.

In hair transplantation, a graft refers to a unit of tissue containing one or more hair follicles, along with surrounding skin, sebaceous glands, and nerves. A single graft is also termed a follicular unit, which typically contains 1 to 4 hair follicles.
