Unshaven Hair Transplant: Restore Hair Without Shaving
Unshaven hair transplant, also known as the no-shave or long hair FUE technique, allows patients to restore hair without shaving the donor or recipient areas. This method is ideal for those who want to keep their existing hair length and avoid a noticeable shaved look during recovery.
Unshaven hair transplant is designed for people who want fuller hair without shaving their head. It allows for a more private recovery and preserves your existing hairstyle, making the process nearly undetectable.
Consultation and Hair Analysis
The process begins with a detailed evaluation of your hair type, donor area, and goals. The surgeon checks if you’re a suitable candidate for the unshaven method.
Selective Trimming of Donor Follicles
Instead of shaving the whole donor area, only small sections are trimmed. These areas are carefully chosen to remain hidden under surrounding hair.
FUE Extraction of Hair Grafts
Hair folliclesare extracted one by one using the FUE technique. This ensures minimal scarring and keeps the overall appearance of the donor zone intact.
Implantation Without Shaving Recipient Area
The extracted grafts are implanted directly into thinning or balding areas without shaving the recipient site. The surgeon places each graft with precision for natural coverage.
Post-Procedure Care
Recovery is quick and discreet. Patients usually return to normal routines within a few days, with little to no visible sign of surgery. Aftercare instructions help protect the new grafts and ensure proper healing.

DHI vs FUE: What is the Difference?
DHI
Maximum Precision
Each graft is implanted with exact angle, depth, and direction for natural-looking hairline
Minimally Invasive
No need to open channels. DHI technique reduces scalp trauma and ensures faster healing
Superior Graft Survival
DHI minimizes graft handling and exposure, leading to higher survival and thicker results
Cleaner, Safer, Faster
Reduced bleeding, quicker recovery, and lower infection risk with DHI method
FUE
Manual Technique
Implantation relies heavily on surgeon skill and consistency, which can vary.
Two-Step Procedure
Creating channels before implantation increases scalp trauma and post-op sensitivity.
Lower Precision
Manual placement offers less control over hair direction, especially on the hairline.
Longer Healing Time
Due to more invasive incisions, redness and scabbing typically last longer than with DHI.
Unshaven Hair Transplant Cost
The cost of a unshaven hair transplant varies based on:
Number of grafts needed
Clinic’s experience and reputation
Patient’s hair loss severity
