Why my hair bulb is so small??? Does this normal and new hair will replace it in future???

Question

I had my hair transplant 6 months ago. From the last 4 weeks I am observing that while combing 10 to 15 hairs comes out when I start to see that the hairs is falling due to breakage or shedding with naked eye then I don’t see any white bulb but when I used magnifying glass then I see the very small white bulb at the end of the falling hairs.

Hair follicles are generally a few millimeters in length.  If you believe you are seeing something you are not suppose to be, follow up with your doctor for a recheck.

Thank you for your question.It is common for the shaft of the transplanted hair to fall at 2-3 months. You should not have the bulbs falling at this time. Please talk to your hair transplant surgeon and discuss your concerns. All The Best !

What you may be seeing is the remnants of your old hair grafts that never shed and are now coming out possibly with washing. Your new hair should be coming in about now
