Regular Member Thinman123 Posted July 17, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2008 this is my 2nd month since i got a HT and my hair looks like garbage! It looks worse than beofore..is this the "ugly duckling" phase? Is it normal for it to look like complelete garbage at this point?...Also, ive been wearing a hat almost all day since 3 weeks after my ht because im at work...Does this have any affect on growth?

Regular Member Yogi's Dad Posted July 17, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hang in there, thin. I'm at week 9 myself. My native hair shock loss hit a few weeks ago but seems to have stabilized. I was a bit anxious around week 7 when I got my first "real" haircut this year. I could really see the shock loss-thinning. I've perused quite a few blogs since May. It seems like many folks post that in their third post-HT month, "things are back to where I started". I hope you find the same to be true!

Senior Member Arrie Posted July 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thin, Hang in there this "ugly" stage lasts a bit, especially 3-4 month mark, but it does get better. You only live once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HairTodayGoneTmrw Posted July 18, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2008 man, I'm just about 9 weeks post ht as well and..lemme tell ya, I feel awful too. I still have enough hair on top to get away w/ using toppik, but its not exactly pretty. Just try and hang in there. Get ur mind off of it. Go learn something or be productive. Forget you had a HT for awhile. I'm building a website and rebuilding the engine on my eclipse to help stay productive!
