Transplanted hair definitely grows. There is no question of not growing. One has to know that the donor hair follicles are extracted from the permanent hair-bearing zone, which is situated at the back and sides of the scalp. These hair follicles are resistant to the action of DHT which is the main hormone responsible for hair loss. These characteristics of donor graft are maintained in the recipient area so when transplanted these grafts will grow naturally and will follow the growth as per the natural hair cycle.
