Why Transplanted Hairs Grow at Three Months
Now you have learned from Figure #5 above the details of the hair growth cycle . You
have learned that the resting or telogen phase generally lasts about three months . When
hairs are transplanted in a hair transplantation procedure, the small hairs in the hair
grafts (which are about 1-2 mm long), will generally fall out within the first two weeks
following the transplant . Those hair follicles then go into the resting or telogen phase for
about three months . At the end of three months, the hairs will grow out .
