Regular Member jsmith Posted November 16, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 16, 2007 maybe i'm just worrying too much; but 2 weeks (the scabs were gone) to 6 months postop,can you hurt the grafts in anyway by styling coming etc..during that period, it was a struggle trying to style my hair to get it to look presentable befor going out in public; I would put surfhair in the hairline where the grafts were placed, comb the hair up to create volume and blowdry and repeat if necessary to get it to look "right." The grafts are secured at 2 weeks post op so there really is no way to damage them unless you had a severe trauma right? I just want some piece of mind; nothing ever bled or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member alsocooleyfied Posted November 16, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 16, 2007 It is pretty much par for the course for ht'ers to think they screwed up their new grafts. Relax, you didn't. I fell for the paranoia too and was sure that I had lost most of my grafts after getting out of my car on the interstate to retrieve some luggage from the bed of the truck because it started raining. This was the day after the surgery and I was not wearing a hat. Well, this giant semi blows by me and hits me with a 70 mph wind. I was sick for weeks thinking that the event probably blew a bunch of my grafts out. It didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted November 16, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2007 Holy crap, Hairbank. What the? LOL. jsmith, it doesn't sound like you need to worry about your grafts.
