Stubble hair 2 month post hair transplant, should I be worried it comes out so easily?

Question

I am two months post operation and have been monitoring certain transplanted hair which hv not grown since the day of surgery,they are spiky,stubble hair.. if I try to just pull it out it comes out without botheration.. Is it something to be worried about. Is it fine to simply pull them out so that it does not become obstruction for the on growing hair.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It will slide out very easily. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

Regrowing hair is thin, undersized and not bright untill 4-5 th months of hair transplant. İt's normal for new growing hair starting to get native characteristics, waviness, curl in first 4-5 months..This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright  as native hair.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Stubble often remains. These hairs will sooner or later shed. They are never a problem for new hairs that start to grow. Usually, there is a lag time between the time the hairs shed (2-8 weeks) and the time the new hair grows (3-8 months). IF for any reason, there is an overlap between the two, pay no attention to it for when the new hair grows, the old hairs from the grafts that may persist beyond 8 weeks, will eventually shed
