jetcitygirl Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Has anyone noticed if the transplanted hair grows back with a slightly different texture than what used to be there, or than the texture of the hair when it was in the donor site? If so, does this eventually cure itself? I notice that my new hair seems to be coming in dryer and coarser than any other hair on my head. Is this normal?

Senior Member HairBeThere Posted March 23, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2004 your answer is yes.. The hairs on the back of your head are naturally courser.. This is why you are noticing the differance. But don't worry, it should all blend together unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rugger Posted March 24, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2004 completely normal Jet....its similar to what happens to your hair during chemo therapy they say..hair comes back first wispy and thin..then a bit curly or wavy..then as it strengthens, it takes on the normal characteristics of your existing hair... ------------------------------ 4600 grafts/ 12/10/2003/ Dr. Jerry Wong Aren't you glad you know me, and have such easy access to my dementia???

jetcitygirl Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 My hair is finally starting to fill in, but there are some lighter patches towards the front, which is a little disappointing, because that was the area I was most concerned with. Still, I'm willing to give it some more time to see what happens (Honestly, what choice do I really have anyway?! ;-) ) Here are 2 pictures: 1 at day of surgery (pre-surgery, the other at 6 months (on a particularly good-hair day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
