Are DHT blockers unnecessary after HT?

[dudewheresmyhair]

Since the extracted follicles are DHT resistant, would it not follow that taking DHT blockers do nothing for the IMPLANTED grafts?

I'm 6 months post op and looking to take some supplements that are NOT DHT blockers to help my new babies grow. I'm thinking a multi vitamin that also has MSM, horsetail and Niacin and taking biotin separately. Thoughts? None of these are DHT blockers right?

DHT blocker may do nothing for your transplanted hair, but what about the hair behind your transplant?

[PatientlyWaiting]

Your native hair, if you have any, will fall off eventually if you stop taking the drugs that were keeping them there.

I am on hair loss medication and will stay on it even after my HT because I want to keep my native hair for as long as possible, until something better comes out. Hair cloning is as close to that as possible. If we can clone hair, we won't have to take any meds anymore, we can just have an infinite supply of donor hair, at least that's the way I understand, I could be wrong.

Never get an HT if you are not committed to blocking DHT w/ meds

Resistant? Men generally thin in their donor area to varying degrees as they get older.

Chrisis isn't on meds, as far as I know anyway. Never see him around either, assume it's going well for him then..
