You write that itīs becouse of the blood flow that the hair on the back of the head remain when someone is getting balled. But why does not these hair fall of when you transplant'em to another area with less bloodflow? | ||

Anonymous: I never said that hair follicles on the back of the head remain vigorous because of blood flow to this area. You're not the only one who misinterprets what I've said. I suppose because the "blood flow" hypothesis is easy to understand, it lodges in people's minds. If only the reason for hair loss were that simple. Your question is a good one though. The only reason that I'm not answering this question about Dr. Orentreich's theory of "donor dominance" is that I've answered it many times before. But a short answer is that hair follicles transplanted from an area where growth is strong (the back of the head) to a hairless area continue to grow as they did in the original location. That's what's called donor dominance. | ||

As Tom said look at the other threads. Remember hairs are transplanted into the scalp therefore also altering the site where they are placed. |
