Non-Shaving Hair Transplant

Non-Shaven Hair Transplant is a special hair transplant method developed for individuals experiencing hair loss but who do not want to shave their entire hair. This technique is ideal especially for those with receding hairlines and partial hair loss at the crown. The transplant is applied only to areas with thinning hair without touching the existing hair.

In non-shaven hair transplant, usually a partial shave of the nape area is performed. This allows for a faster return to daily life while preserving aesthetic appearance. The procedure can be carried out using two different techniques:

Non-Shaven Hair Transplant According to the American Shaving Method

In this method, the procedure is performed only on thinning areas instead of the entire scalp. The nape area is typically shaved with a 1-2 guard length. Hair follicles collected from the shaved areas are carefully transplanted to the thinning regions. Since the nape heals quickly, the person can rapidly resume normal life. However, if the thinning area is large, the shaved area may also be wider.

Non-Shaven Hair Transplant Using the Window Technique

This technique requires the person’s hair in the nape region to be long. The long hair is lifted, and shaving is done only on certain small areas. The shaved parts are covered by the overlying hair, so they are not visible externally. It is one of the most aesthetic methods especially for those with partial hair loss.

What to Consider When Applying Non-Shaven Hair Transplant?

Non-shaven hair transplant is one of the most suitable methods for cases where aesthetic concerns are prioritized. However, this procedure can only be applied to individuals with a certain hair structure. If there is insufficient hair in the nape or other specific areas, non-shaven hair transplant is not recommended.

Another important point after the procedure is hair hygiene. Since the hair is not shaved, the risk of oil buildup increases, which may raise the risk of infection. Therefore, special care should be taken both for the existing hair and the newly growing hair.
