>>19063464>that doesnt explain why transplanted hair from the sides to the top doesnt dieIt does. The studies where the transplanted hair survived long-term were based on the older hair plug transplantation methods from the 1960s. They used to transplant not just the hair follicles but 5-10 hair follicles and their surrounding tissue to the recipient area. In other words they weren't just transplanting the follicles but the surrounding environment.
The donor-dominant transplantation hypothesis is false.
