Hair becoming lifeless and resting flat on scalp 20-24 days after a hair transplant. Is it normal?

Question

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!

Your transplanted hair will shed few weeks after surgery.  Instead of searching forums it is best to just call your doctor if you are concerned about any post operative issues.

It sounds like a very normal shedding after any hair transplant surgery.If you have a major concern do not spend time with the forums and directly visit your doctor.

yes, this is a normal shedding process that we observe 3 weeks after HT . İt may continue till 6-8 weeks after surgery and you may lost huge number of hair transiently. They will start to regrow after 3-4 mo. of HT.

What you are experiencing is normal progress your follicles undergo after your procedure.  Over the next few weeks, you will see continued shedding and texture softening of your transplanted and innate hair.  They will regrow approx 3 months after your procedure.  Use minoxidil daily in your recovery and follow up with your clinic.

IF you are losing hjair after a hair transplant, you are probably experiencing shock loss, something that could have been prevented by using the drug finasteride texture changes in the hair is probably the result of a change in your shampoo and conditioner routine.so I would suggest that you go back to what you were doing before the transplant was done.
