I don’t know if it can be considered sexist but men have had access to hair plugs for over 50 years while women have had to wait until recently. Actually there were no ulterior motives. Instead, the procedures and tools had not been devised to be able to deal with a woman’s special hair needs.
When men lose their hair in patches there are usually other areas of the head which still have good hair growth. These areas are used as donor sites for the hair follicles that will be implanted in the bald spot. For women, on the other hand, the hair tends to thin along with developing bald spots. Hair plugs for women need to be transplanted in a different way than for men because of this thinning hair problem.
