Thank you for your comment although it doesn't answer the two questions.
I am asking because I want to understand the biology of the grafts post hair transplant. I am not considering doing either of these two actions!
I assume the 10 days you reference is based on Dr. Bernstein's study - removing the grafts with a needle holder.
However, a number of reputable clinics like Shapiro Medical Group, Dr Feller, Dr Devroye and HDC recommend massaging the scalp from 5 days so the grafts must secure by then (with the exception of using a needle holder!)
The two questions are as follows:
1) if a hair is pulled between day 3 and day 10, but the hair is not removed from the scalp, would the newly transplanted follicle remain undamaged and create newly transplanted hair?
2) if a hair is pulled between day 3 and day 10, and the hair is removed from the scalp but the follicle is not, would the newly transplanted follicle remain undamaged and create newly transplanted hair?
