Does Transplanted Hair Grow Back After Normal Hair Shedding Like During Brushing Showering. Follow Loss Regrowth Cycle?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Transplanted hair is as good as your normal hair in it's growth cycle.  Transplanted hairs usually fall out weeks after surgery.  You will not see results for another 6 to 12 months after surgery.  After your hair starts to grow it will be like your normal hair (except they won't fall out forever).  Transplanted hairs go trough the same growth and shedding cycle.

Yes, after 4 to 6 months typically once the
transplanted hairs start to regrow, they will continue to follow a normal hair
cycle which is typically characterized by 3 yrs of growing then 3 months of
dormancy.

Hello!

	Transplanted hair in recipient area behave just like non transplanted donor hair and follow the hair cycle. At 2-6 weeks after implantation, transplanted hairs are shed during a process called anagen effluvium. This is due to surgical stress endured by the follicle during transplantation. Once they grow back, they will follow their internal biological clock which is unique for each hair follicle and will regrow after shedding at regular intervals.

Rashid M. Rashid, PhD, MD · Answer

Yes, transplanted hairs follow the normal cycle of falling and growing.  However, it can take a few years to get into a normal cycle.
