    how do you know they are single hair grafts and not single hairs combined to form a follicular unit ?

    They pluck single hairs and not follicles, so you need two steps (two single hairs) to create a graft (if you say 2 hairs equal one graft)

    Thats what they mean when they say "Redefine it and make it better"
