Can you still have a shaved head after a transplant?

Hi, all,

I apologise if this has been asked before but it's the kind of question that won't come up in a search.

As I understand it, if a person gets a transplant and doesn't use finasteride or such, it's likely to fail. In that case, would the transplant hairs fall completely out and you'd be back where you started, or would you be left with hairs that simply won't grow, so you could still shave your head and at the least, have the transplanted hairline?

Thanks.

Hey,
You can use finasteride or not, all up to you. Why should the transplanted hair fall out? They do when your donor hair falls out. Every hair has its 'lifetime'. It is not the skin that pops out hair, it is the hair quality.
