Hope I am making sense here. And hope you can convince me that I am wrong. haha.
I think when diffuse thinning is advanced it's pretty noticeable which hairs are healthy and which are not. I have retrograde thinning (nw6 thinning + thinning around ears and neck) but my FUT scar zone is very thick and I think it won't thin.

Ahhh okay. Yeah my diffuse thinning is still not extreme, but maybe by the time Replicel gets here it will be! haha.

I thought that normally diffuse thinners only lose hair in the normal horseshoe pattern?

There are two types of diffuse thinning:
DPA - Diffuse Patterned Alopecia - Thinning everywhere EXCEPT the androgen-insensitive horseshoe region.
DUPA - Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia - Thinning everywhere.
I would personally assume that Replicel will give the best long-term results in those with DPA.

See, DUPA here. :/ This is where the problem with Replicel lies. We should bring this question up to Replicel at some point.
