Regular Member hairloser1 Posted April 11, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted April 11, 2009 I was reading an article on the web about what to do for an oily scalp and they made the statement in the article that people with fine hair (smaller diameter) have higher density (more hair per sqare centimeter) than people with coarser or wider diameter hair. This made me wonder about donor density in people with fine hair maybe being higher than others. Of course, they could just mean on the top of the scalp it's a higher density?? Has anyone ever heard of this correlation between thickness of hair shaft and density? I'll try and find the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dewayne Posted April 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm no expert, but do have fine hair. I'm not sure how much donor my 'plug' session 18 years ago wasted, but Cooley said I have about 3,000 grafts left in the donor. So, with 2500 I got this past surgery you'd think my donor area is 'average' or lower than. I suppose that first session got about 1,000 out, if Latham's had of used microscopes and trimmed out the FU's. That would put me at about 6500. 100? 'mini' grapfts by Latham's Hair Clinic - 1991 (Removed 50 plugs by Cooley 3/08.) 2750 FU 3/20/08 by Dr. Cooley My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Cooley Current regimen: 1.66 mg Proscar M-W-F Rogaine 5% Foam - every now and then AndroGel - once daily Lipitor - 5 mg every other day Weightlifting - 2x per week Jogging - 3x per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
