I often get a buzzcut and notice that my transplanted hair grows and looks very spiky. Sometimes more sometimes less. Some hair strands that were normal like a week ago are very spiky and grow upwards all of a sudden. Is this normal and do they become normal as they get longer ?

Hello everyone I had a hair transplant 2 years ago. The results are fine however I decided to get my head shaved today just to see what it looks like. It was a razor shave btw not just clippers. My cousin who also got a hair transplant told me that this was a huge mistake and transplanted hairs aren’t supposed to get shaven off like that. He said that I might even have lost a lot of the hairs permanently because of that. Is this true ??

Hey. Yeah it turned out fine. I sweated and was under the sun more than I should during the first month but it didn’t cause any damage to my hair transplant.

Well I never looked so closely and noticed them before at my front hairline, so I was worried at first. If its a normal thing and the hairs aren’t damaged than its alright. I assume they are only noticeable when the hair is very short. When my hair was long I never noticed them.

Yeah I noticed them at the hairline but I’m sure I will have some at the mid scalp too.

When my hair is buzzed, very short and I look closely I notice that certain grafts have 2 to 3 hairs growing together. I though at first it might be split ends but its just the transplanted hairs that are like that so that couldn’t be the case. Is this normal ?

Do you guys think its normal to lose between 30-40 hairs a day ? I shower every day and usually lose between 10-15. In the past two days I lost between 30-40. There is also always that very small yellow/white bulb on them. Does that mean the follicle fell out as well ?! the same thing happened to me 2-3 weeks ago, I lost between 30-40 hairs 5 days in a row. That was the result of using a very harsh shampoo, it became normal again after stopping it. But now I have it again for some reason. So far I have not noticed any difference in hair density, I hope nothing bad will happen.

Yeah that’s exactly how it feels. I also noticed that the transplanted hair when longer looks way more dense when I brush it back or to the sides but bad when I style it forward, fringe hair style. I got a buzzcut now so it will take like 3-5 months to get the ideal length back damn 😬 Month 4 is when my first hairs started growing, it started looking good at month 5. I wish you good luck with your HT results!

I’ve noticed that my transplanted hair looked more dense when it was longer compared to now after I cut it very short. Is it required to grow your hair a bit longer to appear dense after a HT ?

Got the sides shaved. It’s a bit reddish because of the razor right now. It looked noticeably bad under certain lighting when I left it on 1-3mm but now that I got it shaved completely it looks better. What do you guys think, does it look alright ?

The donor healed quite well, looks better now than it did during the first few months, I’m at month 9 now. I have pale skin and dark black hair Idk if this makes it better or worse. Im quite young and a student, I have to save to afford regular SMPs. Once I can I will go for it for sure

Looks great! They only took 2700 grafts from you which helps, I got 4000 grafts taken 😬 I would love a similar haircut like that but with a higher fade. If it looks crap and the lack of hair gets visible I will have to wear a cap or hoodie till it grows back I guess

Yeah that’s what I meant actually, I fear that the lack of hair might get visible. If only SMPs would be a bit cheaper here, it sucks I can no longer get my favorite haircut without having to worry about this

Number 3 is 1cm right ? I might give that a try first and see how it looks.

The undercut is the only haircut that really suits me but I’m worried that the scars might be visible to others once I do it. I think about shaving the sides of the hair to 0 and keeping it like 1-2cm on top. My hair always gets split ends once it grows long so I want to keep it short. Has anyone here experience with this? I couldn’t find any pics or forum posts about this unfortunately. Is it a bad idea to shave the sides/donor without getting an SMP first ?
