How log does it take for hair to grow back after a hair transplant?

Generally, hair goes through a phase called hair shock and the hairs fall out initially. Some of the follicles start into the growth phase after 3 to 4 months at which time you will see some hair growth. About 50% of the hair will start growing at 6 months and 95% at one year.
