I have load of stubble/spikey hairs post transplant 9 months

Question

Hi, I am 9 months post hair transplant with loads of small stubble or spikeu hairs which feel thick and strong. Why have they not grown? Can they still grow? My crown is still gappy. I had 2800 grafts. Mainly on crown and a bit focused on behind the hair line.

It sounds like you're experiencing some of the normal stages of hair regrowth after a transplant. At 9 months post-transplant, it's common to still see new hairs coming in, especially in areas like the crown, which can sometimes take longer to fully develop compared to other parts of the scalp. Those small, spiky, thick hairs you're feeling are likely in the process of maturing. Hair growth can vary from person to person, but it's not unusual for the final results to take up to 12-18 months.
The hairs you've noticed will continue to grow and thicken over time. The gappiness you're seeing in the crown may start to fill in as those grafts mature. However, it's also important to ensure that you're following any post-transplant care instructions, as this can help maximize your results.
