6 months after FUE, would grafted hairs plucked from the recipient area grow back?

Asked By:EthanJones in United Kingdom, GB

I'm 6 months post FUE and the transplanted hair is growing and thickening steadily. Recently I went to the barbers and, once or twice, when my hair was being pulled through the comb and cut, it felt as though one or two growing hairs had been plucked from the recipient area. This triggered my curiosity about accidental pulling/plucking in the recipient area: if a hair growing from a graft were accidentally pulled out at 5-6 months, would it be as likely to grow back as a native hair? Thanks.
