When we search unshaven or no shave hair transplant online we see 2 options. One is the unshaven or no shave hair transplant where there is no shaving done anywhere across the scalp Where the roots are extracted one by one from the donor area such as the back of the scalp or the beard or the chest and implanted into the area of hair loss or bald area. In this type the exact root that we are going to relocate from one place to the other, the hair attached to that root gets cut by the sharp punch that we used to extract the grafts. however this surrounding hair remain as such. they do not get cut hence there is no visible trimming anywhere across the scalp and the donor area is visible as such the way it was before the transplant. In this method the graft that we have extracted and implanted in the new area does not have a long hair attached to it. in the second type of unshaven or no shave hair transplant which is also called the long hair hair transplant, in this technique the root that we are extracting retains the long hair attached to it so the root comes along with a long hair. which is why wherever we put in the graft in the new area there is also a long hair attached to the graft. this no shave hair transplant has its advantages and disadvantages. the advantage is that the look is immediately restored and the person can see his long hair in the area of hair loss immediately after the transplant so immediate post surgery satisfaction rate is very high because the person can see his bald area covered with new hair immediately however there are certain disadvantages of the long hair hair transplant. the disadvantages are that the new grafts and the new hair have to be handled with extreme care as if a single hair gets pulled the root attached to the hair that has been implanted inside the skin will also get pulled and will get dislodged. if the root gets dislodged the graft will fail to grow and the root will die. thus the post care in this long hair hair transplant is extremely high. the patient has to be very careful in styling his hair or touching the transplanted area and he has to ensure that the new hair attached to the new graft is not moved at all. this second disadvantage is that people feel that after this long hair hair transplant the area is covered immediately and will stay covered. however after 15 days to a month this new hair starts to shed off which is the natural process after a hair transplant and many a times this initial long hair only remains for the initial 15 to 30 days. after this the long hair will shed off and the person will again look bald the way he was before the transplant at this stage the person can feel very dissatisfied and in fact very anxious as well.
Thus it is very important to choose the correct way of doing no shave hair transplant according to your requirement.
