Are transplanted hairs at least a year after the transplant theoretically more fragile and not as strong as in the root of the hair compared to natural hair that hasn’t been transplant and isn’t miniaturizing. I sometimes itch my transplanted section of my head, sum times rigorously, not too hard but itch it. could i damage the tranplsnted hair by doing this or becuase the hair grows beneath the skin it wont be doing damage because the hair starts to grow from beneath the skin?
Both transplanted hair and the non-balding hair are equally strong. If you had your transplant with small needles rather than large ones, there should not be itching. On occasion small nerves are damaged which may produce itching. This eventually goes away.
