When the transplanted hair begins to finally grow what does it look like?

[Alundra]

Is it really fine and light and hard to see?

It's basically just like when plucked hair from anywhere else grows back.

So it starts off as being 'is this a hair? I think it is but I can't tell', then turns into a noticeable 1cm hair that's so thin it might as well not be there and then eventually gets back to normal thickness.

 

Sometimes they grow like stubble though, or even stay really zigzaggy/kinky for a while. I guess the shock to the hair follicles makes them need some recovery at first.

Alunda,

 

It starts growing around 3 months. When the hairs first grow in, they are very fine, thin, "wispy," and somewhat colorless. Between month 3 and 6 they retain these characteristics as they grow slightly longer. Between months 6 through 9, the hairs darken and thicken, but they also take on a somewhat "wiry" or "kinky appearance." Between months 9-12 (and sometimes all the way up until month 18+), the hairs soften and begin to take on an identical appearance to your native hairs.

I would also add you can barely see these hairs. You have to look very carefully at your scalp to spot them

nice, I am 3.5 months post op and in certain lights I can definitely see tiny light little hairs about a centimeter or two long! What an exciting time I don't have any clue how the end result will be but I'm glad to see the process is still on track

A very exciting time indeed. I remember those days well and it was so much fun experiencing my hairline slowly transform before my eyes. Enjoy the ride!

It should have the same texture and caliber as it did in the donor region. Typically, the hair will have more pigmentation and grow more robust than the pre-existing hair surrounding it.
