Guest dude1 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I'm somewhat worried because a year after my first HT my density is somewhat less - at least that's how it appears to me. I started at a NW 6 and the new grafts appear to have grown successfully, although I cannot tell if there are as many as I was told I was given. My hair is shorter also, so that gives it the illusion of less hair. Has anyone experienced this phenomenon of less density for awhile? I seem to remember seeing something about this on the forum quite awhile ago. It's been over a year and I am on Proscar. My hair is fine so that's also a minus. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated as I'm planning to move ahead with further HT's. A worried HT patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member trying2moveahead Posted September 5, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted September 5, 2003 The first and most obvious reason would be that some more original (non-transplanted) hair has been lost. However, you stated you started as a 6 so I'm assuming you mean the transplanted area itself is appearing thinner (assuming there was no original hair left there)? If we're talking about transplanted hairs, I'm more inclined to think it's a hair moisture or texture issue instead of an actual hair loss issue. If not already doing so, try a volumizing shampoo, moisturizing conditioner and then even a leave-in conditioner and see if this helps (I like the "Aussie" volumizing shampoo and moisturizing & repairing conditioners). trying2moveahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
