donor's hairs
Hello,
I am a male with sparse and light-in-color eyebrows. The hairs at the back of my head (which are usually used in eyebrow transplant) are also very light. It'd be pointless to use those hairs as my own donor hairs won't make much of a difference. I want my eyebrows to look really dark. Is it possible to use another person's hairs for this procedure?
No. You cannot use any other hair follicles than your own for transplantation. However, you can dye your hair any color you'd like. Keep in mind that if you have light-colored hair on your head and dark eyebrows, that might look a little bizzare. You can always transplant some of your own donor hair into the eyebrows, then color it to your liking.
