Decades ago, hair plugs were used in performing hair restoration surgery. These were small, round pieces of the scalp that contained up to 20 hair follicles. Their extraction was followed by the formation of plug-sized holes in the balding region. Of course, this allowed for the insertion of the plugs.
The regularly ordered and even-spaced plugs made the head of the patient look like that of a Barbie doll. This was highly unappealing. Moreover, people couldn’t even get surgery discreetly. The appearance of the plugs made its occurrence quite evident.
Back when modern hair restoration surgery techniques weren’t available, hair plugs transplantation was the best permanent alternative one could get for hair loss. However, the fakeness and distinctiveness of the hair plugs made many people fear getting the surgery at all. Fortunately, this is not the case anymore.
Yes, your transplanted hair will look just like your normal hair. You can have natural-looking results with both FUE and FUT hair transplant techniques.
Individual hair follicles or strips of skin are extracted for implantation. The growth, colour, and texture of the hair will be the same as your normal hair.
Arguably, you could say that that’s all that matters. A practising surgeon who has years of experience in his/her industry is all you really need. He/she will know how to insert the hair follicles in the balding region in a way that blends with your normal hair. The angling of hair follicles plays a particularly important role in this regard.
Of course, the type of hair loss you’re experiencing matters. Moreover, we’ll also take a look at the health of your donor area. This will determine your final hair density.

Hair restoration surgery techniques will use hair from your head. Think of it as a redistribution of the hair on your scalp. The preferred FUE technique uses hair grafts that have up to 4 or so hair follicles in them.
These do not give a plug-like appearance as your hair starts to grow. After some time, you won’t be able to differentiate between your normal hair and transplanted hair. That’s because they’re the same. The improvement in technology has allowed many people to benefit from this surgery and deal with hair loss permanently.
