FUE Post-op: why does my hair look thin compared to my normal hair? (Photos)

antongough
Hi I am 25 days post op. Please see the attached pictures (with and without flash). I am worried that the transplanted hair looks thin compared to my normal hair. Is this normal and will it grow thicker ? Or will the amount of hair I have there currently look similar in density in the future? Also, when should I start using hairloss shampoo again (like alpecin caffeine shampoo)? Or would I be better to use a organic shampoo? (, any recommendations?) When shall i resume regaine? Thanks
