HI, I got a transplant 5 months ago about 6600 follicles. I have noticed that transplanted hair are not falling off, though some have begun to grow, but some are still in that same state, neither growing nor falling off. Also, some transplanted hair, have broken from shaft but have not fallen off. Is this something to be worried about? I am using doc prescribed medicines and minoxidil. Thanks in advance.
