Senior Member Transhair Posted May 7, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2014 So, it's exactly two weeks until my transplant and I've been doing the laxity exercise on the hasson and Wong site. My transplant is only about 2500 grafts but I think it's better to be safe than sorry in case I have a super tight scalp. The one thing I want to know is, does this have any chance of causing traction hairloss? My hair isn't buzzed all short like in the tutorial image, it's about 12cm long and I can't help but feel that I might be pulling hair out by doing the exercises. Is this just paranoia?

Senior Member Spanker Posted May 7, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2014 Probably a little paranoia. I would make sure that your hair parted well, so you are touching scalp also and also try to put your index fingers just higher than where your strip will be cut out, if you are worried about it. Your pre and post of care and doctor you chose will have a lot to do with how your result turns out. So I would concentrate on that.

Senior Member Garageland Posted May 7, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2014 Make sure you are pressing firming and moving the scalp not just the hair up and down it will be tough on the biceps to start with. Some people find it easier to rest their head on a table with a towel on top and do it that way. There is little chance of traction hair loss but some patients will not do the exercises correctly to get the best benefit. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Transhair Posted May 8, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2014 Alright thanks. It's just that after every 5 minute exercise I notice about 6 hairs in my fingers, and it seems I might be pulling a lot of with the exercises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hsrp10 Posted May 8, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2014 traction alopecia is usually accompanied with some discomfort or pain, if there's no discomfort (and don't do the exercise so hard to cause it!) then they are just hairs lost anyway go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Transhair Posted May 8, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah, it's not painful, but aha, it'd be ironic if I pulled all my hair out of the donor area right before the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted May 8, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2014 Traction alopecia comes from years of sustained traction in one spot. Scalp laxity exercises only apply traction for very short periods of time in the grande scheme of things so you have nothing to worry about.
