A question

If hair implants work by implanting hairs from the back of your head to the front, and those hairs never die (as they don't die naturally) does that mean that hairloss is not about blood circulation / dht / prosglandin but about the life/age of hair areas ? I mean, how comes you can implant your own hair from the back of your hair to the front and no matter what you do, that hair will never fall again ? why is DHT / etc not affecting the hairs anymore ?

I don't get it.

Because DHT doesn't affect the hairs on the sides or back of the head. That's why it's called male pattern baldness.

So when you transplant them DHT doesn't affect them because those follicles are DHT resistant like someone who isn't balding.

Then why are there people who never loose hair in the front ?

If your hair is genetically susceptible to androgens mainly DHT than your going to lose hair. For unknown reasons hair around the sides/back is invulnerable or much less vulnerable to DHT so those hairs dont go bye bye if transplanted to say the front.
We really need some good studies on why this is and how androgen receptors change and interact with androgens. We still dont know much about how androgens actually effect certain hairs and not others.
