Is it normal for some transplanted hairs to fall out after 4 months?

September 27, 2023
Asked By:Awesome192977 in San Francisco, California

At 4th month I’ve noticed a couple of transplanted hairs that grew ( about 4-5 strands) fall out each wash. Is this normal? Are those hairs permanently lost or would they grow back ? Thank you !!
