Hi I did a hair transplant may of 2022. The results were good after a full year. However it appears the hairs are falling out and I am losing density. I do not use finasteride or min. But I was told that transplanted hair will not be affected by the dht.

The transplanted hair came from the back of my head where it is very dense. Why is it that the location of where the follicle is placed determines if it will shrink and die? I thought either the follicle was resistant or not.

Thank you

Check out this study, the differences were not significant for those who were on finasteride and minoxidil:

Because the condition on the scalp haven’t changed.. which means the area of your scalp which were previously in the Telogen growth phase are still being i signaled to not grow. Your hairs are in follicles which are controlled by hair stem cells. Basically the stem cells are in the ON anagen growth phase. DHT signals the stem cells to OFF— Telogen. So the trick is to turn ON the hair stem cells or they will deteriorate no matter how strong /vibrant they are
