Senior Member LaserCap Posted May 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2020 This is far more common than you think. Kinky, as most doctors call it, will eventually resume it's normal characteristic. And you can help it along by using a texturing agent and by styling.

Senior Member Dazed Posted May 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2020 At at about the 4-5 months of my first transplant my transplants were curly, and actually it looked pretty good. Within a few months they turned into a soft wave which was more typical for me. This did not happen with the 2nd transplant.

Senior Member gillenator Posted May 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2020 I thought there was some type of topical hair straightener that can be used to make the hair straight...there are also heat based straighteners that are hand held however the hair length needs to be long enough to fit in the instrument...the hair is then pulled through while the heat is applied...ask about this from your local hair salon...they will be able to help you with this issue.

Regular Member munich Posted May 23, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted May 23, 2020 My hair transplantation was 2 years ago and my hair is still curly. My whole donor area has straight hair. Could it be because of the angle of the incisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whole donor area has straight hair. Could it be because of the angle of the incisions? No, very doubtful it would be from the incisions however when the new hair shafts are making their way through the scalp surface, they can potentially develop a wave or even some curl as they grow through the surface and this can occur more often than we might think...it varies as to how long it will take for the new hair growth to resume its original characteristics.

Thus a "kink" is formed. Relaxation of this grip should (hopefully) occur over time. I agree as the skin is very elastic and will relax over time.

I asked my doctor about long term textural changes and he said that is more common when grafts are subject to trauma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted July 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2020 Why not just use a flattening iron...no chemicals involved.
