Laboratory-grown vaginas implanted in patients.
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/la...736(14)60542-0
"We invited to participate four consecutive patients who presented over a 3-year period with congenital vaginal aplasia due to MRKHS. Patients were aged 13—18 years. We obtained a vulvar biopsy of autologous tissue from every patient. We cultured, expanded, and seeded epithelial and muscle cells onto biodegradable scaffolds. The organs were constructed and allowed to mature in an incubator in a facility approved for human-tissue manufacturing. We used a perineal approach to surgically implant these organs.
Vaginal organs, engineered from the patient's own cells and implanted, showed normal structural and functional variables with a follow-up of up to 8 years. These technologies could be useful in patients requiring vaginal reconstruction."
A step in the right direction, I guess. Creating and then implanting organs is becoming more commonplace.

Well we don't know that. Maybe the vaginas grew hair after a while.

Maybe if we can buy an artificially grown vagina, we won't need hair anymore.

Can't find any photos attached - I mean, for the scientific proof.
