Bill - Seemiller Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Petesman, Actually my third HT was kind of like this yes. But...just because you are not seeing hair on your pillow or seeing hairs in the shower, doesn't mean you aren't shedding. And yes, you are right around the time that this is normal to happen.

Senior Member its752 Posted July 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2007 Does anyone know when the shedding process starts and stops after an HT? I want to keep my head shaved down but don't want to start in too soon after my HT. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted July 23, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi It is different for everyone. I think it is ususally within the first month or so. After my my recent HT, many of the grafts stayed in which was different than the first 2... Lastly, if you are starting Propecia or Minoxidil, this may add more shedding time as well.. I think if you wait a month or month & a half you should be ok.

Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member its752 Posted July 23, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2007 Mrjb, Thanks! I am 87 days on Finasteride and felt also one to one and a half months would be about right to go on shaving my head. I've decided to keep my head shaved for one year from the time of my HT. This resolves the whole thing of looking at my hair constantly, and feel at that time I will see the full effect of the HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
