The answer

There is no objection to hair transplantation for someone who is bald, whether the baldness is temporary or permanent. Both are defects that cause distress to the person, and it is permissible to remove them. Baldness is considered a defect that causes psychological pain and disdain, and hair transplantation removes this defect.
