Regular Member Ponchik Posted March 13, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 13, 2017 Well I'm 3 weeks post op and everything seemed to be fine except today I noticed 5 to 10 hairs that appear to have a black bulb on the end. Is this a rejected graft? If anyone has experienced this could you please offer some advice. I'm freaking out a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted March 14, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2017 The J-shaped or kinked ends of the hairs are tell-tale signs of transplanted hairs shedding for the first time. Nothing to worry as already mentioned above, grafts are set in place and will produce new hairs after some time. 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...
