Senior Member justgrow Posted October 5, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hello, I have posted a few times mostly on shockloss and shedding as I have started propecia just one week after my first transplant. I mentioned that around month 3.5 that my hair went noticably thinner even in nontransplant areas. I am at just over 5 months now. My qusestion is that as I put mt fingers in my hair and gently push back against the direction in which the hair grows I am feeling many short prickly stubble. At just over 5 months could this be my hair starting to recover from shedding and shockloss? Or am I being presumptuous? Any advise would be helpful. Thank You very much!

Senior Member its752 Posted October 8, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2007 justgrow, I don't know exactly when shockloss hair starts to return and someone here, I'm sure will give you that info, but in the meantime it's got to be encouraging that your feeling stuble, and think about this way if you want: Your getting hair in the near future whether you want it or not!

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 justgrow, Sorry that someone hasn't gotten to your post sooner. The encouraging news is that you are feeling stubble. This means that new hair is over the horizon. However, at 5 months post-op from hair transplantation, what you are feeling with your finger tips may be shocked hair regrowing or transplanted hair starting to grow for the first time. Typically however, when hair that was shocked regrows, it grows in very similarly as your regular hair as if you shaved it. It will grow thicker and will be visible in a mirror if not surrounded by too many other hairs. It will appear like a little black dot when really short. Transplanted hair, when it first grows is typically fine and colorless, not visible to the naked eye. Over time, the transplanted hair will gradually thicken and gain color and match your natural hair. I hope this helps, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted October 8, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2007 JG If it is stubble, it is growth coming in ( like your beard).. I think the best thing to do is just relax and let nature take its course.. You will drive yourself crazy if you look everyday JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.
