- Hair transplant is a surgery that involves removing hair follicles from hair bearing scalp on the back of head (donor site) and using it to fill an area with thin or no hair(recipient site).
- Hair naturally grows in groupings of 1 to 4 hairs called follicular units. These follicular units are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the bald scalp.

Two methods are used- Strip method and FUE (Follicular unit extraction) Strip method
- Surgeon first cleans the scalp, then injects an anesthetic agent to numb the area where 3-4 inch strip of scalp is removed.
- After removing the strip of scalp with a scalpel, the surgeon sets it aside and sews the scalp closed. This is immediately hidden by the hair around it.
- Next, the surgeon divides the strip of removed scalp into 500 to 2000 tiny grafts containing an individual hair or just a few hairs each. The number of grafts used depend on the size of recipient area and quality of hair.
- After the grafts are prepared, the surgeon cleans and numbs the recipient area, creates slits with scalpel or needle, and delicately places each graft the holes.
