28 days post op Neograft, I noticed quite a bit of grafts have fallen off. Is this normal? (photo)

NeoQ777
Hi, I am 28 days post Neograft... Up until about 3 weeks post transplant I had not lost to many grafts that were implanted (for receding hairline). Within the last week I have noticed quite a bit of the grafts have fallen out and the grafts left have become very thin/fine, almost feel like dried up dead hair. I know that it's normal to "shed" the implanted hairs during this "shock" phase, so is the "thinning" description I gave for the hairs left what they call "shedding" or is this bad? Thanks!
