Ok, this may sound like a silly question, but since we all want density and a perfect head of hair, why cant we blend in someone's elses hair during a HT? For instance, can we use a hair type similar to ours during a ht? Since the donor area is so limited and we all want density, we can just find someone with similar hair and have them "donate" some. Would that work?

If it isn't yours, it won't be a genetic match and your body won't accept it.

Thin,

Hairbank said it all! BTW do you still plan on a HT w/ the doc from D.R?

Nope. Thank Goodness it finally got through my thickhead. I am looking at a doctor in the States.

My understanding is that you would be able to use somebody hair (a close match) instead of yours as long as you are using anti-rejection drugs. The anti-rejections drugs have very powerful side effects that no doctor in there right mind would give them to you for your hair. Sure you may have more hair but your kidneys and liver would cause alot of problems you may even start looking yellow because of the effect of the drugs.
Just my thoughts.......

Even if it was possible I think people would donate a kidney before giving their hair!
