when is it safe to pull out your hair?


Recommended Posts

The root is the follicle. The bulb at the end of a hair is the follicle where the hair grows from if you pull that out then it's dead...period. If you pull out the hair and it doesn't take out the follicle (or root) than the hair can grow back, but you are also capable of damaging the follicle. Once again hairs do not get thicker from shaving or cutting it is a myth you can do your own research on this. If you plucked your eyebrows and they haven't thinned out then great, but know that you may thin them out. I don't believe there is much more to say on this thread. I'll just end this with saying that you should not pull out your hairs, for fun, flossing (I would recommend buying actual dental floss) or for any reason unless you want to take the chance of thinning your hair out.

 

when i pluck my eyebrow hairs theres something bulby at the end of it

but it keeps growing back and thicker too

 

and i do have regular dental floss :D

Carry floss in your purse. No reason to pull your hair out.

 

i dont actually want to use hair as floss

but i just want to know that my graft hair is strong enough like normal hair

so that i could

not because i want to pull my hair out or anything

but i want to know that its strong like normal hair which i can do anything with

idk if that makes sense lol

after my ht, i remember i pulled out a couple of normal hairs to test the strength of the ends of the roots

because a few of my hair grafts were bent when i had slept on some of them and i wanted to see how much pressure i had put on them. and so i pulled out a normal hair and i found that even with light pressure i could easily bend the end of the hair. so i was less worried. since i thought before maybe i put too much pressure on my grafts if it caused the grafts to bend

hairgirl,

The question you keep asking over and over has been answered many times in this thread, but it seems like you aren't looking for answers or not listening to them. It’s more like you are looking for someone tell you it’s ok to go ahead and pull out your hair. But I’ll try again. Your native hair and transplanted hair are the same at this point. If you pull out one of your native hairs or transplanted hairs it is a crap shoot whether or not it will grow back. Sometimes it will sometimes it won't. Pulling out your hair to look at the root is unnecessary and quite odd. If you want to see the hair root Google it or look in an anatomy book. Research on this site for eyebrow transplants and you will see that prolonged plucking most certainly result in hair loss. However at the end of the day it's your head and if you want to pull your hair out go right on ahead

i think if your follicle is healthy enough (like normal hairs) then pulling out your hair isn't going to affect it

 

and for eyebrows if plucking them makes them never grow back thats a good thing since thats why they are being plucked because they aren't wanted

Hairgirl you ask lots and lots of simple common sense questions and i always thought you were a little nervous or naturally paranoid but this is just stupid i'm sorry to say you should think about what you're saying as people will lose respect and time for you when you need real answers to difficult problems. Sorry but it's true!

Bonkerstonker! :D

It may grow back now, but eventually it will kill the follicle.

Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily

Avodart 0.5 mg. daily

Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily

5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily

Biotin 1000 mcg daily

Multi Vitamin daily

 

Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1? :D

Yes defo mate, i think it's a good idea it would lighten the mood!! There was a fake poster last week called troll he was quite funny but he got involved in a lot of serious politics i think it's a regular poster making a point about stuff.

 

Anyway i think we should hijack this thread and just right more stupid statements!

I think between 10 and 14 days after he is admitted to the hospital it is ok. Of course that depends if he has a Coalition Oncologist.
