Can I Use Hair from Under the Chin?

The best donor hair is from the back and sides of the head (scalp hair). The next best spot, if the donor area is depleted, is under the chin. The chin area can yield as many as 3000 grafts in some people with heavy beard densities. I would not want to use this hair for the frontal hairline because it would be too coarse and not look natural. Beard hair taken from under the chin can’t really be seen when placed well behind the frontal hairline. Other body hair has short growth cycles, unlike beard and scalp hair which have long growth cycles, so it is not as good.
