Hi Alonso8579, I would also love to know about this..I only used rogaine for a few weeks but stopped because I was seriously considering a ht and was told to stop 2 months in advance..i put it mostly in the crown and i feel like i lost more hair initially and because i stopped using it ..i just lost those hairs and nothing grew back because i stopped using rogaine..so i'm curious if hairs do fall out initially and then potentially those hairs grow back along with other balding areas, darker and thicker?

Hi Shane, Thanks for updating us on your story. I actually came back from a visit to Dr. Wong at the end of march. I'm kind of in the same boat as I've been having diffused hair loss since early 20's. My hair type is fine so Dr. Wong suggested around 4500 grafts and fortunately I have good laxity. I have the support of my dad which is nice though my mom is absolutely against the idea. One question came into my mind recently which i did not get to ask Dr. Wong was regarding long term use/care of the hair. Are we able to treat the newly transplanted hair as normal hair in terms of how often it can get wet in a shower, how often we can shampoo it, how rigorously can we rub our hair or if someone casually rubs you hair like how parents do to their kids sometimes? My concern is that for the rest of your life you have to careful watch/manage and control how you take care of your hair, hair care products used on it, how aggresive barbers are when cutting your hair..would you be able to give us any information on that based on your research and if Dr. Wong mentioned anything about it. Also, I too would love to see your pictures and progress. I am seriously considering a June-ish date but after this question came up, I keep getting scared and discouraged as I don't want to regret doing it or if hair doesn't grow Thanks again and best of luck!
