1 graft contains 1 to 4 hairs (averaging ~2.25 hairs). Enter your graft count below to calculate your total individual hairs.
Based on the clinical average of 2.25 hairs per graft, here is how standard quotes convert:
One graft contains 1 to 4 individual hairs, averaging 2.25 hairs. A healthy donor area typically yields 15% single-hair, 50% double-hair, 30% triple-hair, and 5% four-hair grafts.
3,000 grafts equal 6,000 to 7,500 hairs (averaging 6,750 hairs), depending on whether your hair is fine or thick.
5,000 grafts equal 10,000 to 12,500 hairs (averaging 11,250 hairs). Extracting 5,000 grafts safely requires an above-average donor density.
A hair is a single strand, while a graft is the natural root cluster holding 1 to 4 hairs together. Clinics price procedures per graft, not per hair.
At experienced, doctor-led clinics, 90% to 95% of transplanted grafts take root and grow permanently.
