untrimmed hair

[wheretogo]

Hi guys,

 

is there anyone who didn't trim his recipient area and his donor area (or just one of them) for a long time after the HT (like 6 months)?

 

thanks.

My last procedure I didn’t trim my recipient area until about 5 months, at which point I trimmed everything evenly. Is there any reason you want to do this?

Hey Melvin,

 

i'm 99 days post op and didn't trim anything yet. the recipient area still look weird, i need to stop looking at the mirror all the time.

 

my op was at the front of the scalp. the hairline is kinda taking shape, but i don't know, still look weird and when i shampoo i can still see hairs on my hand, also on the pillow in the morning, nothing drastic, but still few hairs here and there.

 

i don't want to touch the recipient area until six month at least but i am not sure about that, maybe to trim the long hairline hairs with scissors?.

 

my donor area is growing, i'm not bother with the fact it looks weird compare to the recipient area, because i wear hat most of the time but it is getting hot and i don't want the scalp to be sweating, besides i'm curious about it's healing status.

 

nervous to go to a barber because the possibility of touching or harming the recipient by mistake so i thought to do it myself and only trim the lower part of the donor if it make any sense.

 

not taking any meds, never had. takes MSM 1000 mg, Biotin 5000 mcg daily plus B12, vitamin D.

eats walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seed, flaxed seed and lately Brazil nuts.

shampoo the scalp everyday.

 

watched your results, wow, mind blowing, so beautiful:)

You are way over thinking it. It's been more than 3 months since your hair transplant. You can do normal activities. Stop worrying about it.

Behappy is right, past 10 days the grafts are anchored in your body, by 3 months you’d have to surgically remove the grafts to get them out. Cutting, trimming, and shaving hair would have no affect on the results.
