Regular Member Beno99 Posted August 3, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’ve noticed that my transplanted hair looked more dense when it was longer compared to now after I cut it very short. Is it required to grow your hair a bit longer to appear dense after a HT ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NARMAK Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 In order to help with the illusion of density, yes. Shorter hair exposes the gaps between hair a bit more and as a result you won't have the same effect. Personally i prefer to keep my hair longer and i'm heading towards Month 3 now, so i'll be interested to see how it looks after Month 4 when it starts to grow in more. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Yeah that’s exactly how it feels. I also noticed that the transplanted hair when longer looks way more dense when I brush it back or to the sides but bad when I style it forward, fringe hair style. I got a buzzcut now so it will take like 3-5 months to get the ideal length back damn 😬 Month 4 is when my first hairs started growing, it started looking good at month 5. I wish you good luck with your HT results! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 Medium to longish is best. Conversely, buzz cuts work really well too (as long as none of your scarring shows) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BaldReaper Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 at least 5cm length for layering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 This can vary by patient. But there is always that "perfect" length where all the hair just seems to work together to provide the most density. If too short, as others have noted, it just looks too bare. If too long, it starts pulling away and makes areas look more see-through-Ish. Work with your hairstylist to decipher. SMP does come to mind. This would help minimize the contrast and give the illusion of more density. 1 Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.
