If someone is bald, can he succesfully get hair plugs from a donor person? 
If so, if the bald person originally had thin hair, but the donor has 
thick hair, will the transplanted plugs become "thin" like the person 
originally had, or will he now have thick hair? What if he was originally 
a red-head, but the donor had black hair? Will his hair become the new 
color?
