Would it be possible to use donor hair for the ICX-TRC procedure if for example, someone had lost all their hair, wanted different coloured hair or a different textured hair?

In short the answers are maybe, no and no. The use of allogeneic or donor cells is a long-term goal but it is many years away. The colour of the hair comes from the epidermis and not the dermal papilla cells so the cells that are cultured have no influence on hair colour. Different textured hair would also require allogeneic cells which is currently not possible.
