Senior Member gillenator Posted February 22 Senior Member Share Posted February 22 The hair follicles that have shed those tiny hair have moved into the dormant phase.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted February 22 Moderators Share Posted February 22 The transplanted hair will almost all shed and then you will start to grow new hair after 3 or 4 months. This is completely normal and happens to just about everyone. It's very rare that transplanted hair does now shed.

Regular Member YodaHead Posted February 22 Regular Member Share Posted February 22 @Kacan This is normal and expected. You are going through what’s known as the “ugly duckling” phase of the hair transplant. The transplanted hair will go into resting phase and shed (however the root under the skin is still intact). At about month 4 they should slowly start to sprout again. I don’t mean to be rude, but did you not read about this process before surgery and did your doctor not inform you about this? 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

I’m aware of shedding. But the tiny hairs Im talking about, are NOT the first transplanted hairs that shedding, but a hair that shed on week 2-3, started to grow, and then fell again when he was very tiny.
