1. A hair implant suitable for subcutaneous implantation, comprising:
(a) an anchor comprising:
(i) an anchor body having a distal end and a proximal end; and
(ii) at least one collagen receiving structure selected from the group consisting of at least one tunnel disposed through the anchor body; and
(b) at least one primary hair element having a first end formed in said distal end of said anchor body and having a free end, opposite said first end and wherein said at least one primary hair element further comprises at least one emerging hair element that originates from said primary hair element at a predetermined distance above said distal end and wherein said at least one emerging hair element comprises a free end that is positioned at an elevation above said distal end which is the same elevation as an elevation that said free end of said primary hair element is positioned above said distal end; and
wherein the at least one collagen receiving structure is configured to support collagen ligature growth after subcutaneous implantation of the hair implant so as to anchor the anchor to a hair implant recipient, and the collagen receiving structure is free of hair.
