Question

2 months ago I had normal temple hairs. Then I decided to get a haircut and cut my hair a 0 now it’s grossing back my temple hairs are growing lighter and thinner than my other hair. It was not like that before the haircut. Is it possible my temple hairs grow slower or what’s that deal? I’m confused

Temple hairs may be finer and thinner than hair on the back of your scalp.  The rate of growth may be slightly different as well.

Hello,
First of all, in order to have the transplant to the temples the direction of the hair roots needs to be examine very carefully. In some cases because of the not proper examination the hair could look fake. ın order to have a good natural looking transplant you and the doctor needs to be very careful .

Yes, the temple peaks on the side of your hairline do grow slower than your regular scalp hair so when we transplant the scalp hair into the temple peaks, patient may have to trim it to balance it out
