I have recently had my second HT surgery with a very reputable and well known clinic in Canada. I am going to post my entire experience with many pics soon, but in the mean time I have a nagging question that I need some advice with.
I had 3 full weeks off of work after my surgery and I took care of my new hairs like they were each a tiny new baby. However, now that I am back at work I have to wear a tight toque and a very snug hard hat for very extended periods each day for 2 weeks, then I have a week off.
My question is does the toque and hard hat cut off blood to my new hairs and will this negatively affect my results down the road.
The reason I am concerned is that before coming back to work I noticed very minimal grafts coming out over the 3 weeks due to scabs or the shower, but now that I have been back for 2 days wearing the hard hat I am losing my new hair at, frankly, an alarming rate. Today alone I would say I lost well over 200-300 hairs throughout the day and in the shower.
I understand that I am in the time frame of normal shedding, but it has come on so sudden and I have lost so many in two days that it is a little alarming and unnervingly coincidental with the return to work.
I hope I'm just over reacting, but I had a very very terrible experience with my first transplants results so I'm a little more anxious about these results.
My hair loss clinic doctor is on christmas holidays until Monday and I have to work two more days with my hard hat on before then.
