Do transplanted hairs keep growing??


Recommended Posts

So right after grafts have been implanted on your scalp, do those hairs keep growing or do they stop??

And I know newly transplanted hairs shed after 3 weeks or so, but I'm talking about the initial 3-week time period after they've just  been transplanted

I had a few that kept growing, but it really was a few hundred  at most (10%).

Initial growth is mostly the existing hair being shed and working its way out, which can take up to month.

Yeah thats what I thought.  All my new transplanted stubbles seem to just be sitting there on my scalp, but hardly growing at all.

Its hard to tell of course with all the scabs around them

Some of mine also stopped but didnt shed, but then seemed to start growing several months later.

My grafts grew for a good 2-3 weeks, then most fell out. Here is the progression of my graft fallout followed by a rebound from the ugly duckling phase (now just under 3 months):

For some folks, it never falls out. This recent example seems to be such a case:
