Can Creatine affect hair growth after hair transplant surgery?

someonemiserable
It's been 7 months since my second hair transplant surgery and I can see results, however, i read on an article that creatine increases DHT hormone in your blood which leads to hair loss, I've been taking creatine for a month now (only 5g a day) because i go to the gym 5-6 times a week, and i want to know if it's going to affect growth or anything? Should i stop taking it? Plus i wear hats all the time but not tight so does that affect too?
