Hi.

i had a hair transplant 4-5 months ago. it grows well and feels fine. I have never used minoxidil but if i start now, will the transplanted hair shed also? if yes, to what extent? i understand everything wont shed but will a little of it shed?

thx

They might. But the shed is not nearly as bad as many people think. Say about 20%.
The best idea is to ask the doctor who did the hair transplant
