The transplanted hair should be just beginning to grow - maybe 10% of them at 1/4" (a good way to see that is get out of the shower without drying your hair - the short ones will stick up)

If typical, you would have had 90% of your transplanted hairs fall out at 2-3 weeks. You would have also lost native hairs due to shock loss- maybe a number about 20% of what you had transplanted into the native area.

I'd say at 6 months, 70% of the transpmnted hairs will be growing and virtually all of the shockloss natives.

1 year - near 100%.

Many may disagree with these exact #'s but they are a good ballpark.

For better feedback in the future - post this in the discussion forum instead of pix.
