Artificial hair implants are an alternative to natural hair transplants. Hair transplants moves hair from one spot on the head to another spot. The hair and its follicle is transplanted and when the healing process has completed the hair will grow naturally. Artificial hair is made from man-made fibers that look and feel like natural hair. A knot on the end of the fiber is rooted in the scalp to hold the strand in place. Artificial hair does not grow like the rest of the hair on the scalp, and it cannot be permed or colored. Artificial hair can be obtained either straight or curly and in a variety of shades to blend in with the recipient’s natural color. Artificial hair needs special attention paid to the cleansing process. If the scalp is not cleaned properly, infection can occur.
