Does the hair that was attached to the skin that I gently scratch means that I lost the graft?

romanzit
I have a little bit skin shedding in the recipient area 2 months after ht. If I remove the skin by gentle scratch I see sometimes couple of hairs that didn't fall out after the ht. My question: 1. Is it normal that the skin shedding? 2. Does the hair that was attached to the skin that I gently scratch means that I lost the graft? Thx
