Transplanted hair falling out any idea why?

[olowshinenine]

Hi I did a hair transplant may of 2022. The results were good after a full year. However it appears the hairs are falling out and I am losing density. I do not use finasteride or min. But I was told that transplanted hair will not be affected by the dht.

The transplanted hair came from the back of my head where it is very dense. Why is it that the location of where the follicle is placed determines if it will shrink and die? I thought either the follicle was resistant or not.

Thank you
