2 Types of Scalp Hair
Scientists have all agreed that the human scalp has 2 types of hairs: DHT sensitive and DHT insensitive. The latter is not affected by the undesired DHT which induces hair miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia. DHT insensitive hair lasts a lifetime and is labeled "Permanent Hair".
The Donor Dominance Phenomenon
After years of research, Dr Orentriech ( USA ) in 1959 reported that hairs when moved from one body area to another maintained their original characters (color, curl, texture and growth rate). This phenomenon, Donor Dominance, explained why hair transplant is possible.
No Rejection of Transplanted Hair
Hair are transferred from one part of your scalp (donor site) to another (recipient site). No chance of rejection as only your hairs are used.
