When a strip of hairs is removed from the donor area as part of the strip surgery process, the strip is divided into individual hair grafts. The hair grafts are usually cut into single hairs or clusters of 2-4 hairs, depending on the needs of the patient.
Single hairs typically grow in the hairline, while the clusters tend to grow more towards the back portion of the head on the top and in the crown area.
