What is an unshaven hair transplant?
An unshaven hair transplant is a DHI procedure done without shaving your head. Grafts are taken from a small donor area that stays hidden under your hair, then placed between your existing hairs with a Choi implanter pen, which opens the channel and implants the graft in one movement.
Because your hair stays long, it camouflages the treated area while it heals, which helps many patients return to work and daily life more discreetly. Your doctor confirms from your photos whether an unshaven procedure suits your case.
Three ways to keep your hair long.
Long DHI or Long FUE
Your existing long hair is preserved and camouflages the grafts during the early resting phase.
Partial-shave FUE
A small donor area is shaved, hidden under longer hair.
How it works, step by step.
Hairline design
Your doctor examines your donor area and draws the hairline with you.
Local anaesthesia
The areas are numbed. Sedation is optional.
Hidden extraction
Follicles are taken from a small donor area that stays covered by your hair.
Loading the pens
Grafts are loaded into Choi pens with tips matched to your hair thickness.
Implantation
Each graft is placed between your existing hairs at about 40 to 45 degrees.
Is it right for you?
Your doctor confirms suitability from your photos and history. As a guide:
Usually a good fit
- You want to keep your hair long and the procedure discreet
- Hairline and temple work where angle and direction matter
- Donor density of about 40 follicles per cm² or more
- Realistic expectations about the result
Check first
- Low donor density, which makes any technique harder
- Medical conditions your doctor needs to assess first
- Hair loss that is still changing quickly and may need medical treatment first
