Many people wonder how to get a hair transplant without shaving their heads. That's understandable since the appearance following a hair transplant operation might feel inconvenient.

Shaving your head is the traditional way to prepare for a hair transplant. The idea was that shaving helps you rid the hairs at the back of your scalp, where hair follicles are denser than other areas of the head, to be more visible during surgery.

Hair transplant without shaving is a new procedure that has been developed over the past few years. It is substantially more expensive than the traditional method and it does not work as well as the old one.

The downside of this procedure is that it has some side effects like inflammation, redness and itching which can be avoided by using shaving.

The unshaved hair imposes a risk to the healthy growth of your new ones. Since your hair will naturally be moving, it will damage the newly planted follicles. It might lead to a 20% loss, which is significant and not worth it.
