Dr Hasson checked me before my ht and found i had mini hairs in my donor called retrograde alopecia, apparently lots of men have it's where your donor hair thins from the bottom up and sides inwards but like most other men i have a extremely thick donor area a little bit higher than the normal safe zone. This is why Dr hasson has been doing a lot of higher looking scars than the normal safe zone. Taking a donor strip mainly from the typical safe zone on me would of been a waste of time and a massive mistake.

I can't really understand your english properly but i think you're asking what percentage of people can't have a ht and in my experience it is quite rare that someone can't have a ht and is impossible to put into a percentage simply because there is no data compiled with them facts from everyone inspected but i'd say as soon as your doctor looked at you he would know if you're a candidate or not just from your scalp elasticity the diameter of your hair shafts and your density supply.

Sorry i wrote it too fast (good response to what you thought the question was though)

I meant there should be NO or minimal miniturised hair ( i heard 10% is just about ok though not sure can you help me on this one)

I 'd just get your self checked, everyone is different so percentages are irelevant you just need to know what your donor has to offer.
