Style advice needed - the cover up vs the buzz

[Surfarosa]

Trying to decide if I have the courage to just buzz the lot or whether that would make the HT look glaringly obvious.  Any advice is welcome.

depends how old is the HT, but if its sub 4-month, a full buzzcut usually reveals that "ugly duckling" grafts in their full potential 😅 . Dont expect it to look like when they looked the first 10 days before shed

That's a good point. In previous HTs I have not shed much but I think waiting for the shed phase to pass might be smart. When do they usually shed?

[WhereIsMyMind]

it is expected that >90% of transplanted hair sheds when scabs fall off (10ish days)

even if they don't shed, many of them will become "frozen" and not grow anyway

when you extract and insert a follicle, you are bruteforcing a new anagen cycle (which takes >4month to grow). I don't think there's any way around it.
