What is a follicular unit? What is a follicular unit graft?
Hair naturally emerges from the scalp in clusters or groups. In fact, on average only 10% of hair emerges from the scalp as a single hair. This grouping is called the “follicular unit.” There are usually two to four hairs in the cluster but some hair types have five or even six. The average hairs per cluster or “follicular unit” is two. A follicular unit graft is a graft cut to this smallest grouping and, therefore, averages two hairs per graft. See Dr.
