How long does it take for the donor area hair to be "significant" to blend in with current hair & when can I get full hair cut?

Asked By:Hairfollicle222 in Chicago, IL

I recently had a FUE Neograft procedure on June 9 (about 900 grafts). I normally carry my hair long, however my donor area was shaved off in the middle pretty significantly. There was no attempt to hid any of the site with my other hair and is an open rectangle in the middle of my head. Hence, basically when my hair grows back in the donor area, I will have heavy on top and light hair in the middle at the back and a little more unshaved hair at the bottom at the back. Thanks !
