    Your hair varies between stages of anagen and telogen (growth and dormancy/fallout). Guys with no male pattern baldness whatsoever can normally lose hundreds of hairs a day, as part of the normal anagen/telogen cycling. (Obviously, it's staggered across your scalp - the individual hairs cycle in and out at different times, not all at once). Shock loss is also called telogen effluvium (going dormant and then shedding). If the affected hair follicles are healthy, then they should cycle back to an anagen phase again (growth) eventually. If your hairs were damaged by surgery (crappy FUE extraction in the donor area for example, or surgical damage during recipient site creation) or if your hairs were already at risk (you didn't have hair loss under control with Finasteride, or you had diffuse hair loss) then it's very possible that those hairs won't return to anagen phase, and won't grow back again.
