Can hair donor hair be pulled from the back of my head and placed in an area that isn't bald YET? (Photo)

It is generally not a good idea to transplant into areas where hairs are still thick and very close together. The transplant itself can cause hair loss, and you will likely not see much difference. Since you mention that you will not take finasteride, I would recommend using a topical version of it. to try to prevent the thinning of the hair.

The short answer is "no". You should not transplant hair into an area where you have hair follicles. The hair loss can be halted and the miniaturizing follicles can be revived. Finasteride will stop accumulation of DHT, but if you don't want to take that, you can use a laser cap to clear the DHT. Then PRP treatments can restore the weak follicles. If you transplant hair to the area where you have weak follicles, the transplanted follicles will hog all the nutrients and kill off the existing follicles and accelerate the reading hair loss.

Hello and thank you for your question. In my opinion you do not need and transplant now. I think its a better idea to wait and see if in the future you need a transplant so you'll have an adequate donor area. Best of luck to you.

In my opinion, I would recommend you to try topical minoxidil first. Getting a hair transplant in an area with lots of existing hair would not be worth it. It is better to preserve the donor hair for the future because hair loss is progressive.
