I'd love to know if my theory is possible or if other people have tried.

We don't need to beat nature. We just need to trick people into thinking we have hair. Just not a hair piece though - it has to be convenient as well as convincing. Like topic

Yeah that's the bit that sucks. If they can nail gene editing or a fake hair that our body doesn't reject we're going to win.
Here's an idea...
Could they edit the genes from donor hair to not be rejected by your body?

So how can we test this? :P

Well if it was permanently in your head [Like a metal plate for a fracture etc] then psychologically I don't think it would be even remotely like a wig.
The problem with a wig is that it comes off. If you have fine strands of anything that are stuck in your head and permanent, I doubt anyone would care whether it's fake.
Sure you have one haircut forever, but that haircut is far superior to thinning hair or a bald skull.

Here's what I've wondered about for a while:
So the outer layer of our skin is just dead cells that can't 'reject' anything. Imagine 3D bio-printing a structure like that diagram, where the dead outer cells curve inwards to create a socket to anchor in a strand of synthetic hair. I'm thinking you could print a sheet of this then it could be FUE'd into the scalp. I do not know if this could be done cheaply enough but I'm more interested in knowing if there's a physical/practical flaw that means this wouldn't work.

Good thinking. We need more ideas and new approaches.
I don't care if my hair is mine or not.
A "cure" for me is cosmetic only but not a wig. Implants would be awesome.
