Hair Styles After FUE

[HairEnthusiast101]

Would a fade with a 1 guard into a 2 guard on sides and back noticeably show the fue scars? Also would a buzz on top show recipient scarring?

Imo it depends on how the donor was managed. Number one shows skin, if the donor was managed really well I doubt it would be that noticeable to the untrained eye

Generally your hair to skin contrast ratio and how you even healed can play a big part. 

Have a look at Mr Rolandas on YouTube when he got his hair cut buzzed right down. Despite a lower skin to hair contrast ratio imo, he had more visible FUE scars so there's no way to 100% predict how yours will turn out. Its just a "Rule of Thumb" you can go by.

JoDimaggio,

To be honest, as long as you’ve selected an experienced FUE surgeon, you should have no problem wearing your hair cropped short on the sides and back of your head which includes fading from a number one guard to a number two up into the top.

Obviously, the donor area will need some time to heal and this is all assuming that your surgeon has used a small enough punch and strategically extracted donor hair In such a way where not too many grafts were taken in a single concentrated area. This of course is typical and standard for an experienced hair surgeon.

if you do cut and style your hair in this way, I encourage you to take and post photos showing all angles of the scalp so that we can see how it looks on you.

best wishes,

Well said.  Even though his hair transplantation is one of  the best I've seen, his scars on the back are very noticeable at short length but he also had a lot of grafts taken

It is impossible for that guy to have short haircuts at the back, however I think he looks better with medium length hair which will make his donor area look thicker and good

I think its not just the amount of grafts but specifically an example of how his extraction zones healed into that much more visible white dot and the higher number of them just makes it even more visible. With that said, i think hair looks better kept longer so you actually have styling options and i would say i know some guys like the fade cuts but that's the risk people are going to have to weigh up when they decide they want a hair transplant.

Exactly, it is a risk that everyone must accept. I always prefer hair length to be around a number 3 or 4. (the trimmer guard I mean)  It looks cleaner and more even. 

When trying to have faded haircuts after FUE, some hairs might grow slower or faster than another... with that being said you are just asking for the back to look patchy

It think if you get less then 2000 grafts you can probably get away with a bald face if they take grafts from mostly higher up in the donor also if it’s homogeneous
