Theoretically, could you transplant non-human hair follicles onto your head, and would they continue to grow the type of hair from the animal they're taken from?

The hair will need to come from the actual patient. Think of it like an organ transplant from another person. The body of the patient might view a new organ as a foreign object and reject it. The body of the patient would know/realize if donor hair was not from the actual person.
