hair plugs
Baldness surgical fix
Hair plugs are small clusters of hair follicles surgically transplanted from one part of the scalp to a balding area.
The term often carries a slightly mocking tone, suggesting obvious or poorly done work: You can tell he got hair plugs—they look like doll hair.
Modern techniques have largely replaced the pluggy look with more natural results, but the term persists.
