Regular Member zz333 Posted September 12, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hey lads, I got a hair transplant 2 and a half months ago getting 3600 grafts in the frontal area and temples and i did not tell anyone besides my parents and i do not want anyone knowing. So i have been away from home studying overseas for my recovery period and i fly back home in 1 month meaning when i fly back i will be 3 and a half months post op. My question to you guys is did you just continue to grow you hair or did you shave it? for me i think my only option is to shave it as i am obviously thin in my temple area's in the early stages of post op which people will question. From your experices if i shave it down to a number 1 or 2 all over and cut the transplanted hair as short as possible with scissors will it all blend in or does it still look noticeably thin even when it is short short. Thanks boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyGraft Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I’d probably let it grow and comb it in the direction that hides it most (likely forward). The hair has not had much time to mature in 3.5 months so it may look thin when cut short. Also a lot of the grafts haven’t even sprouted at 3.5 months on average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks boys I would clip it down to #2 and put dermmatch all over. Will look like full set of hair. 1 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted September 13, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2019 As soon as I get home...shave. And then just let everything grow in. Typically hair starts coming in 3-4 months post op. And, not all hair comes in at the same time. I would then, with everyone paying attention, start wearing a hat. Let the hair come in naturally. When you are good and ready, leave the cap behind. That's what I would do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have some residual redness that would be hidden by hair. Shaving your head, a lot of times results in a white head. Shaving your head draws attention to the one thing you are trying not to draw attention to. I just don't see this as a very good tactic. 1 "Imagination frames events unknown in wild fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, and what it fears, creates."
