A follicle container for transporting an extracted hair follicle from a follicle extractor and containing the hair follicle for future use includes a receptacle, a conduit coupleable with the follicle extractor, to convey the extracted hair follicle toward the receptacle and an injector to aerosolize and inject an irrigant into the conduit while the extracted hair follicle travels toward the receptacle. The irrigant lubricates the interior wall of the conduit and thus reduces friction as the follicle travels in the conduit. The irrigant also washes the conduit and keeps the extracted follicle moist and thus viable and more flexible. Flexibility allows the follicle to more easily suffer without damage bumps with the wall of the conduit and/or other extracted follicles as the follicle travels in the conduit.
