Regular Member frankdatank Posted February 27, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hello all, I'm around the 2.5 month mark and I'm getting new grow which is exciting! However, I have several grafts maybe ~20-30, that never fell out BUT they have not grown either. They are the same length as when they were put in. I assume they will fall out at some point? Are they hurting growth in that area? Should I do any thing or be concerned? Unfortunately, they are dead center 1's in the front so I look at them everyday... Thanks!

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted February 27, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'm also at 2.5 months and have new growth although it's a little sparse. The fact we are getting new growth at this point can only be a positive. I had some transplanted hairs not shed (about 50 maybe) but mine have all continued to grow as normal. I haven't had any stay the same size. You could try washing a little harder or pulling on them to see if they come out.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Frankdatank, Not all the hairs will shed and those that don't typically grow. But others that don't shed have detached from the follicle but won't grow. What will happen is when the healthy follicle underneath the scalp begins to grow a new hair, it will lush the old hair out. I hope this makes sense. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member frankdatank Posted March 4, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks for the reply. I thin what you described is common. I'm saying they did not shed and they did NOT grow. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jaswalraj1 Posted April 6, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hi, sometimes after transplant the implanted hair may not shed in some individual and start growing directly. So it’s normal. You have not attached any Pic or even the detail provided is not enough to understand the other problem you are mentioning. So my suggestion is to provide a good quality photograph with highlighted area/marking of the area you are worried and explain your concern in bit detail so we can guide you accordingly or you can consult with the doctor who had operated you as he has better insight in your problem.

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes, what you are experiencing is normal regarding the transplant hear that didn't shed but is not growing either. Sometimes the follicle will separate from the shaft for the shaft doesn't shed. But when the new hair starts to grow it will push that hair out. So now that it's April and posted this in late February, any changes? How are things going? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
