You may be experiencing a seasonal shed, or telegon effluvium which is essentially a massive hair shed. The causes of this range from stress to actual trauma to the follicles, some medication can also cause this. Are you going through anything stressful or have you gotten on any medications lately?

Thanks, Melvin. No meds. I was extremely stressed in the month of March. But April everything got better. Can stress cause the hairs to minaturize or just fall out? I've had both. In the past, I didn't see too many minaturized hairs, the minoxidil was doing its job.

Any thoughts? No visiable scalp issues

Hello,

I am in a massive two month long shed that is causing me to lose ~10 hairs every time I touch my hair. My hair is now extremely thin after two months of this.

age 37, been on fin of 15 years. I my second HT in Nov 17 and started rogaine again about a month after.

The only thing that I have changed is I've used Selsun Blue for the last 5 years and switched to a boitin shampoo around the same time as the shed started to happen. I realized this a couple days ago and switch back to selsun blue. This is the non medicaded version with selenium sulfide

I have been on this site for a while and have read a lot of threads and have never heard of any shampoo causing hair loss other than nizitrol.

Any ideas?

thanks

Can you share a pre op pic?

Are you spraying the grafts with anything? I'm not firmilar with Koray post-op instructions.

Either way, it looks normal. People have posted about this phenomenon many many times.

Dang man, sorry to see the spot. Hopefully the shot helps it recovery quickly

Looks good. I had terrible shock loss on my second HT behind the hairline.

Do you think its starting to fill in?

You probably should remove her name from the photos?

I reached out to several clinics and spoke to almost all the doctors. The only clinic that I didn't and the consultant that just stopped responding to me was Dr. Rahals consultant. So they get a thumbs down in my book.

Thoughts on using Control GX one month after a HT?

Congrats! Looks great

You need to go see a doctor as soon as possible if you haven't done so already.

I've used rogain since I was 18, almost 20 yrs now. That's sounds crazy, but I've never really know if it was doing anything. So I stopped about a month ago and I have NOT had a massive shed. Only the 5-10 hairs in my hand when styling my hair with paste.

Am I in the clear?? If it was working should I have seen a big shed or is it gradual?

Looks good. Good luck going forward

Same update from last month? work looks good

Hope you are doing ok , HairDew.

Thank you both for the feedback. I plan to go back in to address some weak areas in addition to the density.

Based on your experience, does short hair or longer typically look better?

And I think I went too low. It's about 2" from top of the eye brow to first graft

Couple pics in different lights. Wet and back. Wet styled. And dry and back

I am about 7.5 months post HT and suffering from low density in the front. What is the best hair style to aid in appearance? Long hair vs short hair? Combing it forward is not good. Best I have found it a combination of up and forward behind the hair line.

You still have time to catch up. To answer a couple of your questions, I think you will need to provide a couple pre op and immediate post op pics.

Hello all,

I am at 4 months tomorrow and I am continuing to get some good growth. The donor area is salt and pepper color, more gray than black now... However, the top is still dark.

My new hairs are as expected coming in salt and pepper. some even clear. Can I safely color the newly grown hairs?

I do not want to risk anything, it is not that important to me. But if it can be done safely 100%? no risk to anything?

Thank you.

ps, I will start a thread soon.

Looks really good

Looking good man!
