Does body hair transplanted on scalp remain curl and short ? Or does they grow like scalp hair ?
I have enormous amount of body hair ,thick and curl. I want to know this because most likely I would need a transplant and I would want that perfect not just shitty coverup. I also have dense beard. Any comment? Has someone have their body hair transplanted to scalp?

I really just don't understand, you have 23 years of history of hair loss forum, that with minimal google search and READING you can answer your own question. But, some how, you are to lazy to do it and you expect that something waste the time explaining something .

Studies have shown that body transplanted hairs after a certain period of time start to "retain" the characteristics of the hair in the transplanted area, but thats only partially.

So, if u have a leg hair transplanted in your scalp and just to clarify, leg hairs are the only with the biggest tellogen phase among the hairs in your body, they will be in resting phase more than any other type of hair in your body. Knowing that, after you transplant a leg hair in your scalp for example, they will tend to slowly have an bigger anagen phase and to have the same hair characteristics of your scalp hair. but still they ill not be like normal scalp hair.

As far i remember

Scalp> Beard > Upper body > Leg hair in terms of "longest anagen phase" I think body hair transplant should be more used for feather up hairline and to add more density, they are perfect for that. But it seems that they are way more expensive too and alot of surgeons dont do them cause its requires a better technique to extract the follicles, thus, the results are unpredictable.

Im lazy to search for the studies but they are real and reliable, u should go look for them.

This has nothing to do with future treatments and research. Stop creating these useless threads.

The only body hair worth transplanting is beard hair. It shares similar characteristics to scalp hair. Also beard hair is generally more coarse, so it will give you a better thickening effect in between the scalp hair. It's too coarse for the hairline though. So it's better to have scalp donor hair in the hairline and the beard hair in the midscalp, in between the crown and the hairline.

since alot of bro experts want to give their opinions without reading and knowing absolute nothing, i will share some studies regarding body hair transplant

"However, with regard to body hair transplant it was observed that the recipient dermis influences the body hair growth rate and hair cycle duration to mimic the growth characteristics of the native recipient site hair. This is the concept of recipient influence. According to Hwang et al. hair follicles transplanted from the occipital scalp to lower leg took on the hair characteristics of leg hair and partially the same hair reversed their characteristics when transplanted to the nape of the neck.[32] This is supported by Woods and Campbell, who using chest hair micro grafts transplanted to the scalp showed extended growth and almost 4 times increase in their length to mimic growth characteristics of the native scalp hairs in the crown region".
