Guest Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I am 5 days post of from 1700 to the midscalp and hair line. I had a decent amount of hair pre op, enough where it covers up most the scabs. My question... I want to buzz my whole head (top included) to match the length of the newly transplanted hairs. When is this safe to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pushing 40 Posted October 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2007 Correct; my whole head from front to back with a #2 clipper (very short) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member blowdry Posted October 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2007 Morenewhair, do not cut your hair. Eventually you will lose those transplanted hair. I feel you have a perfect situation, where your native hair can cover the transplanted. Wait two months and decide. Once you cut it, thats it. So take your time...........

Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 thing is, i dont want anyone to notice, and if a lady friend of mine were to touch my hair, i'd have 1700 small grafts under a bunch of long native hair.. not normal. i think i'd rather shave it all down to even out. what do you think?

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 morenewhair1, I did exactly the same thing. I shaved my entire head, top and sides to match after my HT. Of course, my recipient area was already shaved after my third HT so I didn't have to touch the top. Blowdry is right that you should consider the fact that your transplanted hairs will shed between 2-4 weeks. Additionally if you do decide to shave your head, wait at least 10 days or whenever all of the scabs are gone, whichever comes last. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 pushing 40... How did the buzz cut look at day 10? Did it look like a normal buzz or obviously TP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 at 8 days post op, is the donor scar still too red to buzz the hair with a #6 clipper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
