Regular Member taza Posted April 20, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 20, 2022 I had my hair transplant 7 weeks ago. I still got alot of stubble like hair in my crown area which haven't shedded or growing. Should I worry? Has anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Fue3361 Posted April 20, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2022 Yup, I had quite a lot of that. IDK what it means honestly. After like 5+ months, I had I think like 3-4 hair stubbles that never grew or fell out. I pulled them a little with tweezers and they came out with zero resistance. I did apply a little resistance to the stubbles at the 3 month mark though and there was resistance, so I left them alone.

That, or it fell out. I don't know which of the two it was haha. At that point, my hair was too thick to really keep track of specific follicles.

Regular Member taza Posted April 23, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2022 Shall I pull on these stubble hairs with tweezers or shall I leave them alone? By feeling them, I think there will be resistance. Any advice please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Taza, I honestly wouldn’t worry at this stage as you’re still very early in the process. My guess is that the transplanted hair is either growing very slowly or not growing due to shock from the surgery but possibly, instead of shedding, it’s going to continue to grow from The point it is at now after the shock. Where is often the growth period starts. Let me explain this other way. Most people experience shedding of the transplanted hair 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. 3 to 5 months after the date of the procedure, new growth typically begins and slowly grows, thickens and darkens over the course of 12 to 18 months after the date of the procedure. So it’s possible that your transplant hair will still shed and follow this line of progression just like most people. on the other hand, some very lucky individuals do not experience a hair shed and the transplanted hair just grows slowly over time just like regular natural hair. sometimes however, there will be delay in growth because the hair is still technically shocked from the surgery but when the growth period begins which is typically between 3 to 5 months, the transplant hair will just grow from the point it’s at now. So putting this together, most likely you will either experience a hair shed soon and follow the former progression I mentioned first or, you won’t experience a hair shed and you will see the transplanted hair resume growth between 3 to 5 months after the date of the procedure. At this point I don’t want to assume anything else or that there is any kind of problem. I suggest giving it ample time to go through the process and try not to worry in the meantime.

Best wishes, Rahal Hair Transplant Its been nearly 6 months and my stubble hair is still not growing or shedding. Could these stubbles be dead grafts? Shall I pull them out with tweezers?

Could these stubbles be dead grafts? Shall I pull them out with tweezers? Probably dormant hairs. I would ask your clinic what to do. It might be a good idea to try and gently remove them to give way to any new growth coming through but I would def consult with your doctor first.
