In the same, boat rws! I'm now 9-12 days post-op (it was 3 day 1967 graft procedure) and am experiencing the same thing. I didn't start to more vigorously wash until Day 9 and have lost quite a few small, stubbly hairs (only a few scabs left).
Also, the donar area is still kinda sore--feels like a sunburn on the scalp and is beginning to be itchy. When scratching, I do have some spots where I get some neuropathic shooting pain. However, each day seems to get a little better...
Curious, when were you told to begin washing the area??? I was told Day 6, but since it was a 3 day procedure, I waited till Day 9--sound right to you guys???
Looking forward to some responses! Good luck rws
