Hello,

I am curious to know if I am the only here who have a limited hair growth as my transplanted hair stop growing when it reach 5 cm!! It is really wired😤

If I buzz my hair it will grow normally till reaching 5 cm. I tried PRP, Whey hair protein, B -complex but nothing works 😟

looking to hear from you guys..

How does your hair "stop" growing after a certain length? Does it fall out at 5cm? I don't think its possible for hair to just like not grow. 

I'm not sure if this helps your situation at all, but my transplant hair has a really curly texture and is very hard to style when it's a short-ish length. The more it grows out and the longer the length is, the tamer it gets and the more easy it is to style.

When hair stops growing, especially prematurely, it is usually related to a shorter growth (anagen) phase....that being said, the average individual's hair grows at a rate of approximately 1/2 inch per month...so at 5 inches, that would equate to an average of 10 months?...I do not know if a shorter growth phase is the case for you but if the hair does not grow any longer in length, I cannot think of what else it could be.

Have you discussed this with your surgeon?

No of course it doesn't fall out at 5cm 🤣. If I buzz my hair, it will grow but up to a certain length (5cm), then no longer at all.

Are you on finasteride? Your transplanted hair may be thinning.

I was on it for along time without any noticeable improvements so I stopped using it recently and I don't think I am suffering from thinning.

What you think and what reality is may be two different things...I would have a doctor check if it is miniaturizing just to be sure.

What about all these stubbles in the front. Did they ever grow? Have you tried to pick them out? Do they have any resistance when trying to pick them?

Yes I pick them out when they grow (with some resistance).
