do all transplanted hairs fallout?

[grub12]

after surgery.......do all hairs fallout and enter a resting phase or do some continue to grow?

ALL transplanted hair falls out, (because ALL hair follows the hair-growth cycle, and must shed in order for new hair to take its place)....it's just a matter of when. A few will continue to grow for months after the HT. That does not mean that it will continue growing for ever.

 

Generally, most will fallout out within 4 weeks of your surgery.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm into week three and they're slowly thinning out.

I'm on Day 10 and was wondering the same thing. There are a ton of threads on this topic if you use the search function.

 

Basically, it's very rare that the transplanted hairs continue growing without falling out, going through a 2 month resting phase and then starting again with baby hair.

 

It's going to be an interesting few months we've got ahead of us.

Not all of them fall out, not in my case anyway...maybe about 15% stayed in and grew, but most will fall.

I am on same boat with Petchski

Petchski is right on. I used to tell folks "every one will fall out at 1 month", now I have had a handful of patients who lost ?half, but by and large, most people lose 90% or more before regrowing.

when do u think is the treshold for them not to fall out....what i mean is if they havent fell out by a month after ur HT is it reasonable to assume that they are not gonna shed?
