Senior Member aska Posted June 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2009 I've seen some results on this forum an on the internet of patients that the transplanted grafts don't match the native hairs. Some patients grafts grow fuzzy / rough even if they have smooth hair. Why that happens??? May be the effect of the MINOX? On early maturation fase?? Ty I'm sry, i think the better word is Frizze.

Regular Member stilldeciding Posted June 13, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 13, 2009 i'm also curious about why this happens. i would love to learn more about the causes, i've read in a few places it could be caused by minor graft damage. hopefully someone else has a more definitive or scientific theory. additionally...rogaine does not cause this, it can make hair darker and thicker, but that is temporary. the frizzyness of transplants happens with or without rogaine... P.S. can you post photos of your hairline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ron J Posted June 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 13, 2009 From my understanding, the kinky/frizziness in appearance the grafts take on is a result of the 'shock' from being transplanted. In the vast majority of men it's very common & in time (even 18 months+) the hair returns to it's natural characteristics. It's really not too surprising that the transplanted hair doesn't initially grow in w/the same characteristics from which it was taken; since it goes through various cycles as a result of the transplant: dormant resting phase, return as fine baby hairs, etc. But, once the process of maturation takes place the hairs soften & return to their normal chaaracteristics. In the meantime, you could always straighten your hair via chemicals at the barber/stylist. I would rather have to TEMPORARILY deal w/curly hair than a big flaming bald sea of scalp. Delicately helping those fragile souls who suffer from hair loss, w/motherly nourishment & care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this, shock makes sense. Though it is not always temporary, I've seen some results 5-10 years down the line where those characteristics remain. If it was temporary I don't think anyone would really care, because that's such a small price to pay. I wonder what could be done to lessen the shock a graft goes through, if anything. PRP, special aftercare, anything. Also wonder if any research has been done to aide in less shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if it was permanent that would be a real pain the ass, but I would still take that over the bald look any day & have it straightened. Do you have a link of a case to which your reff to? Would be interested to see it. thanks. Delicately helping those fragile souls who suffer from hair loss, w/motherly nourishment & care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member stilldeciding Posted June 14, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 14, 2009 I don't usually save links but I'll definately be on the lookout. From personal experience, my first FUE...now four years later, some hairs are still kinked/frizzy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
