Hi there I was just wondering if applying minoxidil on transplanted hairs will make it dependent, so once discontinued it will fall out? I am only asking because I am thinning on top and have a few native stragglers left behind which I would like to keep once I have a ht performed in this area. Cheers

No. Transplanted hair from the donor zone are genetically predetermined not to be DHT susceptible to minituarization.


take care...
