10-15 after a shower… I’m sure that’s probably anecdotal… unless you have a process and documented observations. I bet this has been going on for quite some time you may have not noticed or had a darker sink or your head wasn’t over the sink or… whatever variable. My opinion for that type of shedding over time being on the strongest stuff you can be taking for hair loss is that personal opinion, how you feel, observation of aging and knowing your age… etc… influences people to pay closer attention to perceived change. I’m willing to wager that anything you’re seeing is an accumulation of time on the body and not sudden. Most people use the term shedding for acute hair loss due to a change in routine of some type. Not that it makes it any easier to observe and deal with but I bet you’ve seriously slowed your loss being on dutasteride and oral min. You could really be experiencing the periodic shed people get.

What do you mean by shedding? You towel dry your hair and then see a few more fall or you see another 10-50 hairs fall? I would think even after shampooing towel drying hair might cause a few to fall normally or even running hands through wet hair. If 50-150 hairs shed normally, daily… that’s possibly up to 6-7 hairs an hour…so I guess I’m curious what you mean by shedding after showering.

Well, you buy a water softener and install it at the water supply for your home. Or, you can buy an on the go water softener and install it on a faucet at your apartment or condo, or the main water supply for your apartment or condo if you have access to it.

Soft water is water that has reduced minerals in it, hopefully dramatically reduced… usually achieved through an ion exchange with sodium charged resin beads in a tank. The reduced minerals exchanged for sodium creates a water that dramatically reduces the amount of minerals that build up on the hair or scalp which usually cause irritation, itchiness and drying. Soft water is significantly better for your hair and scalp and helps hair retain more moisture. The effect is immediate with good soft water vs hard water in my experience. If you wash your hair with soft water even once, you’ll be like yeah that dude was right. Edit: If your hair is dry..I’ve said it before in these forums try some Living Proof 5-1 before blow drying it’ll help smooth it out. I’m curious to, have you thought that some of the dry frizzy hair could be regrowth of terminal hairs just weaker because the follicles were dormant due to taking oral Min? It’s possible🤷‍♂️

One of the best thing I’ve ever done for my hair which has always been curly and slightly frizzy or wavy was to start washing my hair less and with soft water. Hard water makes a frizzy mess of hair pretty much especially if you’re using multiple products for texture or hold or leave in conditioner or whatever.

What do you mean by frizzy? Looking and feeling dry or curly hair lacking pigment? Is it all over or just in thinning areas?

His work is extremely clean and it looks great. Especially the donor. So no complete shave huh… I’ve heard he usually likes to shave the entire head.

Melvin I’m curious, how long to you let TD Xyon dry before styling or putting other product in your hair?

Dr Konior doesn’t do per graft more based on complexity. Id speculate 25-35k.

🤷‍♂️I mean what can you say. Damn.

That’s as symmetrical as you can get. Damn! The tenacity of that guy. Looks very dense as well. Are you on meds? Do you have pictures with out the hair being held back and your hand covering the top? A part in the hair showing density and at the crown? Bottom line…I mean Damn! Looks amazingly clean.

I think medically, inflammation exists as a matter of verifiable fact and anyone’s definition of inflammation if they are not a medical professional, which I’m not doesn’t matter. But, obviously I’m referencing an underlying disease process or skin condition that’s currently not dormant or is manifesting symptoms. Given that injury can aggravate LPP or LP in skin tissue Id be curious to know if the OP with a diagnosed case of LPP via biopsy has micro needled and if that aggravated the condition.

Of course. But the point of my posts are not to address the likelihood of LPP to reoccur after it has become dormant. Rather, I think it’s all reasonable to assume based upon an itchy scalp or other symptoms associated with male pattern baldness or LPP that LPP is the root cause right out of the gate. It will be the last thing that I assume absent a diagnosis.

I don’t see the doubt. Don’t transplant hair into an area of active inflammation regardless of the root cause🤷‍♂️. But that’s not the question or doubt I have. I don’t think it’s right to assume that if your scalp itches etc… that LPP/FAA is the first place your mind should go.

I think it’s folly to assume one has a rather rare form of alopecia, or I’d go as far to say very rare form of alopecia because the scalp itches or tingles or whatever. I can get my hair to tingle if I push it in the opposite direction it’s trained to feel sore even in the scalp. Probability that I’ve seen from reading online, like all of us….of cases reported of LPP 1-2% are even men. Then FFA would have to develop from that which is even more rare. Especially in men. I could find the links but don’t have them off hand at the moment. Point is it’s ridiculous to assume one has LPP/FFA from reading on a forum because your scalp itches every so often or tingle when you put pressure on it or whatever. Just ridiculous. Further, MPB androgen related pattern balding does not just go away and causes permanent fibrotic related baldness. Lichen Planus or Lichen Planopilaris absolutely can just go away. Or significantly reduce in the presentation of symptoms causing inflammation and hair loss which is essentially what we are talking about.
