Guest Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Yes, I'm with Jotronic. At day 10, the day I had my staples removed, I also had my hair cut, about a 2. Just ensure all the scabs are gone. Enjoy the growth. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Manko Posted August 14, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2003 htpn, I waited until 4 weeks and had the sides cut down to a #4 and just a little off the top. I almost always get my hair cut every 2 weeks, so in keeping with that tradition I had my haircut 2 weeks later with a #3, and I'll have it cut again tomorrow with a #3. Now my question to you is how many weeks has it been since I had my HT. You didn't know there was math quizzes on this board? Good luck.

Senior Member Teddw2ds Posted August 14, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2003 As of today, I am at 8 days post-op. Almost all of my scabs have fallen off (YEAH!!) and I will have my stitches removed in 2 days. That same day, or the next day, I plan to get my first post-op haircut. I cannot wait, since I never wear my hair this long! I usually trim the sides and back down to a #2 and the top to a #4 or #5. I think in this case, considering the donor scar may still be visible, I will have my stylist cut the back to a #4 to start, and if it's not visible, maybe go down to a #3. But as for number of days out, that would put it at either 10 or 11 days. Tedd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Belgiumdude Posted August 26, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2003 HI, CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW LONG IS A #1 OR A #2 ... i AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE NUMBERS THANKS Greetz. Pictures of my hairloss can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/belgiumdude2004/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Teddw2ds Posted August 26, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2003 The higher the blade #, the longer the cut. So, a #2 is very short... a #1 is very, very short! I don't know the exact length, but I would estimate that a #2 is probably 6 mm, and a #1 is probably about 3 mm. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
