Hello , Today I am 6 months post hair transplent and I was wondering if using Topik and Hair Wax on a daily basis can cause damage to my transplented hair ? I don't use a lot of wax but I do use it every day for work .. A friend of mine told me that if I do then I can cause damage to the transplanted hair root and they won't grow again . Please let me know ..as I consider another hair transplant in 6 months .i need to know . Thank you Doctor

This is expected, but what you are seeing is the shedding of the transplanted graft crusts along with some of the hairs. The roots are still there, so don't worry. You should see hair growth by the 8th month or earlier.
