Can hair for transplant be used from other parts of the body?


Sure, hair can be used from anywhere. Plastic surgeons are not dumb and recently they have devised hair transplants by obtaining hair from other parts of the body. Some surgeons have taken hair from the armpits, others from the pubis and some even from the chest and back. The hair in these parts of the body is not characteristics of scalp hair but men being men just want hair to hide the bald spot. 
This body hair transplant is still in its infancy and long terms results are still pending. But men really do not care about tomorrow, it is today what matters.  So far, men who have had this type of procedure say it sucks big time and is very painful.  Anecdotal reports indicate that the body hair are more fragile and do not last as long as scalp hair. 
The eventual cost and a bald armpit or pubis may not be worth all the hassle in the end. Finally, plucking individual hair from the pubis and armpits is no thrilling adventure, unless one is into S & M.
