Hair loss

For a month now, then from the eighth month after the transplant, I continue to see the hair fall in this quantity as in the photo after washing it, and as many during the day every time I comb.  Although many forum members say that losing up to 100 hairs a day is normal, I am very worried because I am not convinced that you lose in such quantities, but there are many that grow back, in fact, I see myself very thin compared to the sixth /  seventh month post transplant.

That's 15.  Not hair loss, this is shedding and it's normal.

What medical therapy are you doing?

Over stressing can only lead to other issues. Stop it.  

I do want you to look at the photo of the 15 hairs and notice each strand and color. Can you see some are ticker, (and darker) than others? This is miniaturization. That's hair loss.  Eventually this leads to very fine hair that does not seem to grow any more. Eventually it disappears - never to return.  The time to be on meds is before the hair is gone.

15 are only those that I found in the comb after washing them, those that fell during the shampoo and therefore after the rinse I could not count them, but I assure you they were as many, to which must be added those that I find in the comb during the day every time I comb them.

I take saw palmetto, multivitamins and biotin every day.

The difference in color I think depends on the fact that the darker ones are the transplanted ones, while the thinner ones are the hair I already had on my head.

It could be a seasonal shed, take a look at this article. Studies show that shedding is at a maximum in the middle of summer, which is now.

Why pay to advertise when you can just hijack a thread?  Way to go Silax - looking forward to all your helpful posts.

I'm serious.  Just look at my face.
