Week 3 Post OP
Shedding phase! Ouch!
I was going around quite happy as the redness went away dramatically, so people (mainly shorter than me) wouldn't even understand that I had something done! It was so nice to have defined hairline (that might sound funny, but I don't remember how does it feel to have an actual hairline!),but now for couple of days already I enter a shedding phase!
Whenever I brush my hand through my recipient area I can see 3-5 hairs on it. Whenever I wash my hair I can see 5632656735462734523786543teryfgdsh vmf hairs going down the drain. I am shedding hair at this very moment! Heartbreaking! Some people are even joking around "that's it man, you had your week of happiness" (that was my friend, we always making fun of each other, so I really don't care about such comments!).
Anyways, I was well prepared for that, but i had this little tiny hope that I will be that "anomaly" who doesn't shed!
Reality kicked in - I am not special!
As I mentioned before redness is disappearing... As fast as I'm shedding (It's my new joke for today haha!). Mid-scalp & crown is filling up and at this point looks so much better.
At this point I just want to buzz my hair on the sides and back and it will look good, but I will leave my donor for another few weeks before I will touch it with clippers.
BTW donor is healing well (except very end of sides, you still can clearly see red dots in there..). Perhaps because density is not perfect in there?
P.S. I had few scars on the back of my head since forever, so it's not related to surgery!
P.S. I recently posted a new video talking about my first day at work 12 days after my HT.
What do you think? How was your first day? I had quite fascinating reactions!
