Regular Member snydez99 Posted January 5, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 5, 2012 I had a HT about 9 months ago (3,800 grafts), my frontal hairline was redone very nicely, however I have fine hair. I also am graying. Any suggestions about thicking up my hair? I will post pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Glenn Charles Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Unfortunately, it is more difficult to make patients with finer hair types look like they have thick hair. Generally, it just takes more work and more grafts to give that appearence compared to patients with coarser hair types.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I do not think there is such a thing as fine coarse hair. Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 7, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2012 Generally wavy, coarse hair tends to be ideal as it allows for maximum coverage. I also heard another "term" or concept from the sugical assistant during my last procedure. He mentioned " thank your parents, your follicles grow in opposite ways." As I was a bit drowsy from the meds I cannot remember exactly but does this sound familiar?

Regular Member snydez99 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2012 I wondered if coloring my hair will help? Also, does the shampoo Progaine seem to at least give the appearance of thicker hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member realquiet Posted January 8, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2012 I would recommend a volumizing shampoo like the one from American Crew. It thickens up the shafts and works very well with my fine hair. Another option is a leave-in volumizing mousse if you use product to style your hair. The nice thing about volumizing shampoos on fine hair, is that, because we have more hairs on our heads compared to those with coarser hair; there are more shafts to be thickened and it ends up being quite noticeable. You get the added benefit of a thicker crown as well. And the final option would be a concealer like Topik. This is more invasive, but if you haven't heard about it I figure I might as well mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member blkblk Posted January 8, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 8, 2012 does this volumizing shampoo just give the impression of thicker hair, or does it actually make the hairs grow thicker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
