Yes, the transplanted hair will continue to grow after a hair transplant. This is because hair transplant surgery involves taking healthy hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head) and transplanting them to the recipient area (where hair is thinning or balding). These transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormone DHT, which is responsible for hair loss in androgenetic alopecia, the most common type of hair loss.
After a hair transplant, the transplanted hair will usually fall out within the first few weeks to months. This is a normal part of the process, and is known as "shock loss". However, new hair growth should begin to emerge within a few months, and will continue to grow and thicken over the following 6 to 12 months. Some patients may see full results as early as 6 months after the procedure, while others may need to wait up to a year or more to see the full benefits of the transplant.
It's important to note that while hair transplant surgery can provide long-lasting results, it doesn't stop the progression of hair loss. Patients may still experience some hair thinning or balding in other areas of the scalp, and may need additional hair transplant procedures in the future to maintain their results.
