I feel the stubble is old transplanted hair that never fell out,as it comes out very very easily when I pull it with a tweezer,are these dead follicles?or will new hair shaft grow?will it hinder the new growth if I dont pull them out?I still have these after 9 months of FUE,but they are very few in number,are these failed grafts that did not take?or is this normal?
