Senior Member makehairgreatagain Posted November 26, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2019 @Melvin-Moderator I shaved mine for this last procedure I had done. I think it's essential when going through all the work of a transplant, that you give your doctor the best possible situation to know where grafts need to be placed and to yield the best possible result in the end. It's just another obstacle to remove to allow the doctor to work efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shaved my head for a year before getting a hair transplant, and I hated every minute of it, end justify the means. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Dazed Posted November 27, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2019 I think it is essential for FUE, but not needed for FUT. I hate short hair because I feel like Uncle Fester, and I don't want to look like Stone Cold Steve Austin. Some guys shave their head and it is bright white and looks like a cue ball.

My question is: if you shave your head, how con the doctor see the angles and the directions of pre-existing hair follicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wear high magnification glasses while creating recipient sites. It's actually a lot easier to see the angles with buzzed head. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

It's actually a lot easier to see the angles with buzzed head. I can see direction is not a problem if the doc uses glasses. About angles it can be a real problem... I quote doc Shapiro "Angle refers to the degree of elevation a hair as it exits the scalp. Direction refers to which way the hair points when leaving the scalp. It is important to pay attention to the changes in both direction and angle of hair positioned around the hairline." If the hair is shaved, how can the cos see the degree of elevation? May 2 mm long hair can be a good way to fix this problem Edited November 27, 2019 by duchaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
