Regular Member Wookie Posted December 12, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2003 Has anyone heard at what age hairloss typically begins and typically ends? It seems that if someone is going to naturally maintain a full head of hair, they never lose any hair, while a man that starts to lose some hair, eventually loses all? I.E. Do men go from a Norwood 3 to a Norwood 6 regardless, or do some stop at a Norwood 3 and never advance? The reason for my question is that I am a 43 year old male. I am at a Norwood 3-4 and have been for 10 years. I have had one HT and will probably do one more. My concern is this: The consensus of this forum is that one should wait until his hair loss stablizes, because you don't want future hair loss to impair your HT hairs (as your hair continues to fall out, you will get bare spots behind the transplanted hair). Does anyone know? Wookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Wookie Posted December 16, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2003 Thanks Jotonic, A question? Have you heard of much success in placing HT hairs in between existing hairs. Most of the conversation and pictures are guys with bald areas on top of their heads. I have hair, just thinned out. I have heard that their is a high probability of damaging existing hairs when trying to place HT hairs in between existing ones. What you do know about this? Thanks.

Senior Member Mahair Posted December 16, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2003 I am unsure wether or not this applies to modern techniques.Not like those used by MHR but most of the areas they put grafts with me did more harm than good.For every graft they put in I lost a dozen hairs. Also most of the grafts they used didn't grow due to poor handling or transection and sloppy workmanship.perhaps with a real FU transplant this is not the case. "The first cut is the deepest."

Regular Member Wookie Posted December 17, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2003 Thanks for your thoughts. How long ago was your HT? How thin was your hair? What were you on a Norwood Scale? Wookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
