Hair Damaged From Hairpiece

[slickrick1985]

Hi Everyone,

 

I had a hairpiece installed at the London Hair Clinic and was advised by the individual who took the measurements and fitted it, to have the piece upto the halfway point on back of head, that he suggested was thinning.

 

I wore the hair piece from January to March. I would visit the clinic once every 3 months to have my hair washed/shaved, the piece cleaned and then rebonded with adhesive but became very self conscious about the hairpiece. I realised that the hairpiece was not for me and opted to have it removed.

 

However, I have noticed that where the hairpiece was bonded with adhesive I have very thin hair now and it is growing back very slowly. I have uploaded two photographs of before in December and after most recently in April. Will the hair grow back or is it permanently damaged. Any advice would be highly appreciative.

Looks like progressive hair loss in a Normal pattern. Are you on finasteride?

 

I would not expect regrowth without medical therapy. Sorry.

if the hair was used to secure the pieces , yes it will not grow back , traction alopeicia. Something they will not tell you about at the consult

Thanks for the response guys appreciate your advice. It has been one month since I have taken the hairpiece off and have uploaded a picture of my hair right now. Does it look look any better?

 

I will consider using Finestride when going for a HT which is the next step. And yes I would advise everyone to think twice if they are ever considering getting a hairpiece, especially over existing hair.

Still looks normal to me. I don't see any real damage. Just mpb. On the plus side, your donor looks good.
