This is necessary because our micro-instruments from 0.60 to 0.80 mm should be slid over the hair, it does not work with long hair.

For smaller sessions to about 700-1000 grafts, we can shave a strip in the donor area where the grafts will be harvested. This means that your head won't completely be shaved and the longer hairs in the donor area will cover the shaved area. The disadvantage is that the donor management will no longer be possible. If you ever shave your hairs <5 mm, a shear band is visible where the strip was shaved.
