How many grafts do I need?

I hear that question all of the time. The answers often vary from 1000 to as high as 6000 grafts, sometimes regardless of the balding pattern. We focus on the number of grafts because more grafts move more hair into the balding area. But the real numbers depend upon hair thickness, the balding pattern, the color of your skin and hair, the character of your hair, the thickness of the hair shafts...
