How can you tell if your donor area has been overharvested or if its shockloss

How can you tell if a thin donor, initially, is because of shockloss or if it was over harvested, do they look any different ? 

Regimen: 5% Minoxidil twice a day (morning and night) on front hairline, Proscar (broken into 5 pieces) one piece every night. MSM 1000 Mg, Zinc 30 Mg, Vitamin E, Multi-Vitamin.

Baby Shampoo for showering.

How many grafts were removed? Hard to say without pictures.

I mean guys that complain on here about shockloss in the donor after a FUE procedure, is it just too many grafts taken out in a smaller area ( not spread out) in the donor ? Is there any difference in how they look in terms of thinness ?

Shock loss occurs because of trauma, shock loss can occur with strip and FUE because the surrounding hairs are shocked during harvest. It’s usually a visible difference. However, I can’t say without pictures.

Have you ever done an article on this one Melvin? I'd be curious to see the difference myself and how you can tell the difference between shock loss, over-harvesting, and white pigment scarring

Actually I have check it out
