Hair Transplant Clinic Said I’m a Good Candidate Although I’ve Got Minor Early Hair Loss

Dear Dr Rassman,
I am a 30 year old male with thick curly hair but with early hairloss on my left frontal hairline. I have been on Propecia for 5 months now and I am still unsure of it’s effect. I have also been to see a HT clinic for a consultation on my options for the future. There they inspected (with the naked eye) my hair and said that most of my scalp hair was very strong and I would be a good candidate as I had thick hair with alot of double and triple follicles. They also said I could have my hairline reconstructed but that I should limit the amount of hair transplanted as I may need more to cover future loss.

My question is does the reference to double and triple follicles sound plausible or is this something that is common to most people and were they only saying it to push the idea of HT on me,especially considering they offered to reconstruct my hairline when my loss is still only at an early stage? I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give.
Regards

I think that the reference to double and triple hair follicles reflects the follicular unit count. Hair grows in groups of one, two, three, and four hairs each. Some people with terrific density have many three and four hair groups while many Asians will have mostly one and two hair groups. The more hair you have on your head (counts) the better off you will be for future hair transplants if you ever need them. I can’t really comment on whether you are a good candidate for surgery, as I haven’t seen you.
