Hair grafting increases hair volume by surgically relocating follicular units from donor areas of the scalp to zones where density has reduced. Each graft contains one to four hairs. Placed strategically across thinning areas, these grafts add measurable density that is permanent and grows naturally with the patient’s existing hair. The volume increase is a direct result of increasing the number of active follicles in the recipient zone.
According to Dr. Mayank Singh,
Hair Grafting increases volume by relocating healthy follicles into areas where density has been lost. “The objective is not coverage alone. It is balance distributed density that looks proportionate across the entire scalp.”
What is the Increase in Volume by Hair Grafting?
Hair grafting process is a process of transplanting scalp follicular units on the back or the sides to the areas that are thinning. The grafts have one to four hairs. These grafts, when used strategically, can be of huge importance in adding density.
- Density Redistribution:
Grafts are done at the places where thinning is most apparent giving a fuller look.
- Natural Hairline Design:
The location on the hairline is delicate and can put the hair in its place, as well as enhancing facial framing.
- Blending With Existing Hair:
Each graft is angled by the surgeon as per your natural growth direction so that it will integrate easily.
Volume has nothing to do with stuffing hair in one place. It is the even distribution which makes your hair thicker in general.

Should Hair Grafting Be Used on Crown Thinning?
There is an exception with the crown area. The swirl pattern of it is circular and therefore density has to be deposited on top.
When there is visible thinning behind the head, a crown hair transplant with accurate hair grafting methods would help to achieve fullness in the long-term.
- Circular Pattern Planning:
The grafts are applied in accordance with the natural swirl in order to be realistic. - Progressive Build Up of Density:
The density is not acquired abruptly but rather planned out. - Long Term Growth Stability:
Once placed in a healthy environment, healthy transplanted follicles are considered to grow permanently.
And honestly? Patience is a habitual thing with the crown. Growth there might seem to be slower than on the front.
A visit to Crown Hair Transplant can help us decide on whether grafting by itself will achieve your volume or you will require other forms of therapy.
Why should one use Dr. Mayank Singh to grafting hair?
Dr. Mayank Singh is the President of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India, a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons. He is the only surgeon in India to have received the Shelly Friedman Award. For Hair Grafting specifically, every session is planned around increasing volume without compromising donor integrity. Graft angle, depth, spacing, and long-term hair loss progression are all evaluated before a single graft is placed. The goal is natural density that holds up over time, not a single-session result that requires correction within a few years.
