Hi all. I've had a FUE hair transplant 24 days ago. I am noticing my hair becoming lifeless and resting flat on my scalp. I've not seen much of this of the forums. Is this a normal pre-shedding process. The hair were upright till a few days ago and now a lot of them seem to be stuck to my scalp. Just a little baffled!
