Sean, regarding your question about shockloss, I do not see any visually evident shock loss on the sides, however the back looks a little patchier and thinner than it was before. I will have a better idea in a month or two, I guess.

Regarding the recipient area, I won't know for at least another month or so, because my hair was never kept this short on top, so I don't have a good point of reference, yet.

The literature from Rahal's clinic states that you can get a haircut after one month, however I may actually wait another week or so, since the post op instructions are tailored to strip operations. I do think I will have the stylist use the plastic clipper guard #1, rather than the blade #1, so that no metal touches me. How long did you wait to get your first haircut with clippers?

Thanks,
Sugar
Im in the same boat, however, I completely shaved down for this reason in particular...Im gonna wait 2 or 3 months to have my first cut...

Shockloss can last long on some people and it is usually on different parts of the donor area. I had it on my right side I think the most. As the donor area continues to heal the areas get better. It may take a few months but heals.

If you keep the hair short it will make things look a lot even I think. But so far everything is look good.
