Transplanted hairs not shedding after 5 weeks. Is this normal?

March 5, 2019
Asked By:SinghAay in Melbourne, FL

I was been told that my transplanted hairs will shed in the first month after hair transplantation. Only 10 percent of transplanted hairs have shed and others have started to grow at different rates and directions. Is this normal? Moreover i still feel etching at the transplanted area sometimes and sensation at donor area when scrubbing. Is this expected?
