Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 10, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2020 Do you use any conditioner before using shampoo? This usually helps. Transplanted hairs sometimes grow rough and wiry for a while, but they will soften up and blend in better with your natural hair over time. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member gillenator Posted March 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2020 I agree with BeHappy...and as the new grafts continue to grow in length, eventually the hair will resume its original characteristics.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2020 My hairs were very wavy, curly and just plain nappy when they grew out. It takes time for the hairs to soften and grow in to their natural form. I wold give it some time, and until then use some strong conditioner, and use a circle comb with a blowdryer to straighten it out. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member gillenator Posted March 13, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2020 Applying heat with a blow dryer definitely helps straighten the hair shafts.

Senior Member Rolandas Posted March 14, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm myself on week 6 right now after my FUE, however it's seems logical to me to wash your hair, apply conditioner (keep it for at least 5 min in) and then blow dry (while still damp) with some heat protection spray. When you are blow drying you basically shaping your hair, how it will sit down after you are finished. Another options might be just go short again and wait until 18-24 months in. As some people said, it takes time for hairs to get "natural" look. Think about it. They've been placed in a completely new environment not by choice, full of DHT (perhaps that's the case? hahaha). They will need some time to adapt. 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 pkipling Posted March 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2020 You'll have to do some trial and error with different products to see what works for you. If you go to a salon, they may have samples of different things you could try so you don't have to commit to buying a full bottle of something. Creams and leave in conditioners sound like something that might work for you. I've had success with both. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.
