Looks great!!! Very natural looking!

Your hair looks great the way it is now. I wouldn't get a HT at this point, but that's my opinion.

Very impressive!!! Looks very natural!!

Carry floss in your purse. No reason to pull your hair out.

I understand getting anxious.

You shouldn't be pulling your hair out period.

No, I have never pulled my hair out for any reason.

O.k, I don't get the comment "but before when my hair was healthy i could just pull out a hair for fun." That isn't fun.

I appear to be having the loss from the back of my head, not the recipient area. It just kinda had me worried when I'm washing my hair and I am seeing more then normal hair loss! lol

Thanks for the advice! =)

Why would you want to pull your hair out?!?

Hair keeps falling out for 1-2 months?? How does anyone have any hair left?? l

I just thought of this question...how long does the hair continue to fall out in shock loss??

I guess in general.

Is using Aloe Vera normal to use post op? I only ask cause I am post op and haven't used it yet. Am I supposed to?

O.k, thank you both. I'm glad this is normal...as weird as that sounds. lol

But the loss isn't in the recipient area, it is in the back of my head.

I thought maybe shock loss, but I guess I didn't know it would happen this soon.

Thank you for talking with me about this!

Have you consulted with a doctor?

O.k, I am post-op day #5 and I have noticed more then normal amount of hair loss while washing my hair. Yes I have been very careful and am using baby shampoo. I have not noticed any hair loss on my pillow when I wake up, just in the shower and a little when I am combing my hair. Why???

Was that the only time someone detected your HT?

I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Hi Rich,

My procedure went well, thank you. It was a very long day and I was happy to get home! Only part that was painful was my back from laying in that chair all day! lol

I have been washing my hair very carefully and gently. I am too scared to comb my hair in the recipient area....don't want to damage anything!

I have staples so that area still hurts and is sore/tender. I can't wait for them to be removed next week!

I wonder how soon my scalp will start to look somewhat normal?

I can't post pics yet as my laptop is being repaired for hardware issues and won't be back for 2 weeks. =(

Hello,

I am a 34y/o woman who very recently (this past Monday) had a HT.

My advice is research, research and more research. Read different forums on this site. Keep asking questions. Everyone on this site has been very helpful and informative.

I would also recommend consulting with a few doctors before making any decisions.

Hi David,

Thank you!!

Can't decide,

Thank you!

Orlhair1,

Thank you as well! They will come out a week from Thursday. I can't wait for everything to get back to normal. Even washing my hair. I was so afraid and paranoid I was going to damage the recipient area! lol

Newhairplease,

Thank you! I
