Senior Member dhuge67 Posted February 14, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2006 I think your hair is supposed to be about 1/2 inch, at least. I was shaving my head too, but had to let it grow for the procedure. However, I was able to wear a hat when necessary. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ. As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun shall shine And the grass will grow Let me listen, I will learn to speak The old language Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies And fall apart from the world of machines Regain my feet and my pounding heart My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member actionradar Posted February 14, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2006 so do you think that with one month of not shaving it will be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bro66 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I had to let my hair grow for about a month before the HT, and I'm still wearing hats when I'm out in public, 2 month past my HT, I can't shave my head anymore. Are you planning to wear hats all summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going for strip or fue. If its strip you had better keep your hair long enough to hide the cut at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GuitarPlayer Posted February 14, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2006 Actionradar, You're going to have to let your hair grow out a bit prior to the procedure so that the doctor can see your pattern of hair loss and to get a good assessment of your donor area. Has the doctor already seen your hair loss pattern and donor area? Who is your doctor? GuitarPlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member actionradar Posted February 15, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2006 bro66-yes i do plan to wear caps all summer (as i have for the past two years since ive lost tons of hair) eventhough i shave my head. guitar player and bennsstu- i already went for my consultation, and she already determined my hair loss pattern and my dondor area(imk getting 1800 bye the way), my doctor is Dr. Sharon Keene. so what do you guys think? can i keep shaving it or should i stop shaving it like one month before the hair transplant, i kinda thought they would shave it before taking the donor area away. thanx everyone in advance for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bro66 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 This hat thing is new to me, never wore hats, eventhough I shaved my head, and drive a convertable. I've been wearing hats everyday since my HT. I buzzed cut my head about a month ago just to see if I could wear it short, the scar was very noticable and still healing. I've purchased over 20 different hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
