Hello .... I had a FUE procedure done about a year ago. I continue to feel spiky hair growth int hat area (as if it were a day old stubble) for the past 7 months. It doest grow beyond that state. Is there a reason? and how can i overcome this problem. It seems like the hair growth has been arrested of sort. Thanks

Answer: The stubble you feel may be old transplanted hair that never fell out

The crusts are a concern and good, gentle daily washing should make the crusts go away. Be sure never to pick on the crusts as they grafts might come out.
At 6 months, many people see much of the hair transplants growing, or at least starting. They can grow between 5-9 months, but 5% of people grow immedicately (they are the lucky ones)
Generally it is not advisable to use hair wax as this will harm the existing, not the transplanted hair. Topik can be used as this is washed out and does not affect the hair.
