I have like 0 hair in the shower/comb. I am really scared that in few months so called "anagen desynchronisation" will come and my hair will start to fall rapidly. I hope that Dr Arika is wrong about this one 😅 That's great. So your hairloss is completely stable and oral minoxidil isn't causing a shed either. And please don't talk about anagen desynchronization 😢. I am 9 months after my 2nd HT and my hairline has never looked this good since I was 20. A 20% shed therein and I'll get wrecked again!

Recently i saw video from Dr Bhatti and he doesn't agree with this anagen desychronization theory. It is good observation from him, that at the moment of HT there is already up to 20% hair in telogen in the donor. So if they take 40 grafts from the back of the head with approximately 100 hair in it, up to 20 hair should be in telogen and only 80 in anagen. It would be weird that after transplantation in the front, all this 20 telogen hair would suddenly change to anagen and start to grow, is that what is this theory about? Another thing is that percent of hair in teleogen is different for each age. If you are young, only 10% are in telogen. BTW: I got the feeling, that at the end of the video, he is dissing Eugenix in subtle way.

It isn't a FUT it is a FUE and I'm assuming HT doctors are handpicking the best hairs to transplant. I just found this on another HT site:How do we differentiate anagen hairs from telogen hairs? This photo shows both an anagen hair (bottom) and a telogen hair (top). Anagen hairs are darkly pigmented throughout the shaft. The characteristic feature is the massive number of cells known as “keratinocytes” that can be found in the area surrounding the bottom of the hair shaft. This is termed the root sheath. Anagen hairs have a root sheath. Telogen hairs, on the other hand, lack pigment at the base and lack a root sheath. Most hairs, if not all the hairs, from a typical collection of hairs from a patient’s scalp are telogen hairs. Which confirms that HT Surgeons can differentiate between Anagen and Telogen visually. AFAIKT if picked randomly, at least according to them, most would be in telogen i.e. in about the same phase, supporting Eugenix's claim. Then again yet another site claims:Anagen is the growth phase and approximately 85% of all hairs are in the growing phase at any one time Which supports Bhatti's claim except, again, if the HT doc can visually distinguish and is cherry picking I'd assume they'd be going for the most Anagen hairs even if not consciously, which would in fact push most, i.e. 80%-100%, of the transplanted hairs to Anagen.

I thought about this matter. I had total grafts number 3514 - Beard - 32 grafts Scalp grafts - 3482 Singles - 640 Doubles - 1762 Triples - 800 Quadruple - 280 1. Punching is very fast and it is not possible to see difference between single hair, double hair etc, only using human eye, that's why they use microscope. 2. Telogen phase lasts few months, so the lost of the pigment isn't instant. And when you have blond hair like me, i believe there is not such huge contrast between anagen and telogen hair in color. 3. You are a doctor and you punch 800 triple grafts. You have very good eye and see that in graft there are 2 darker hair and one is little lighter. You decide to not punch this graft because of 1 lighter hair? Of course you punch it. It goes like this : PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH. 4. Yes, at the picture from the site that you are reffering to, there is visible difference between this anagen and telogen hair. But this picture is taken under augmentation. So after punching... 5. Why would doctor select only grafts that has only anagen hair (in his opinion). It doesn't make sense. Telogen hair will become anagen soon anyway. 6. Doctor must select grafts from the safezone and appropriate distance between extracted grafts is important, not subtle differences in hair colors. And lastly, look at this video and keep in mind that it is already augmented : Edited May 10, 2023 by GeneralNorwood 1 My first Hair Transplant - Eugenix 3514 Grafts (720 grafts on the temples) - Dr Priyadarshini Das Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Sunset Dune Posted May 10, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 10, 2023 Your result turned out fine however the biggest make you made was going for the aggressive hairline, if you had went for a conservative higher hairline you would have had more grafts to fill in the left over bald areas. I highly suggest leaving your hair long it will help cover up the remaining bald spots as much as possible and since your hairline is no longer receded you can get away with it without having an ugly long hair receding hairline look. Being tall has its advantages it’s more difficult to see balding crown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went with higher hairline, i could save up to 1000 grafts i think. i won't rush into second surgery anyway.

Found this regarding what (purportedly) happens to hair when transplanted: "After a hair transplant, the transplanted hair follicles enter the dormancy (telogen) phase for 3 ‐ 6 month before they start to grow (anagen phase). Full growth is usually achieved in 10 ‐ 12 months." If true, it would support the theory in that each of the hairs transplanted enters telogen immediately. I'll search for my evidence on this, as it is presented by a company with a product meant to reduce the length of telogen for ht specifically so they have a vested interest in that "fact": https://www.helphair.com.au/how-accelerated-follicular-restoration-reduces-the-length-of-the-telogen-phase-after-a-hair-transplant/#:~:text=After a hair transplant%2C the,nor to eliminate this phase. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=3054 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shedding after HT is diffuse. This is called ugly duckling phase, but you don't become completely bald, some hair continue to grew. Just look at the 1 month, 2 month, 3 month pictures...

According to Dr Arika, anagen desynchronisation occurs at 14-15 month. So i should expect it in 2-3 months. So we will find out soon. Explanation to this loss that some patient complain can be just natural cycle of hair. Imagine that at given point you are used to some density, but 2 months later because of natural cycle some hair fall out in the front and look is different then in previous month. And again in few next months this hair which fall out, start to grow again, and you are happy again.

The basic idea behind anagen desynchronization, as far as I understand is : Not all hairs are in the same growth phase together. A transplant disturbs the natural hair cycle and hence post the shedding phase, all transplanted hairs (which survive) start growing together. However, their growth phases eventually return to normal resulting in a desynchronization. Besides, I have read the experiences of many people where they did recount an apparent loss of density in the 10-15 months period. But yeah, the desynchronization % does seem different in different people. That's why several others don't notice it I guess Edited May 13, 2023 by ThePerseverantWarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because some transplanted hair (up to 20%) are telogen hair and transplantation doesn't change telogen hair into anagen, So this telogen hair will start to grow later. This is what Bhatti talks about. There is no desynchronisation, because there wasn't synchronisation at the first place. And my thought is that if Dr Bhatti is right, it is a bit random how many telogen hair was transplanted during procedure. If somebody had 20% telogen hair transplanted, 20% hair will grow later and there won't be dissapointment. But for example if somebody had only 5% telogen transplanted, he had 95% in anagen and in this case patient can be dissapointed when he loses some ground later on Another thing is that if hair is in telogen phase, that doesn't mean that it sheds. .Telogen hair has cutted of blood supply, but it stay in a scalp for 3 months and during this period new hair is formed and slowly starts to push out this old hair.

Neverthless, there are some issues that need to be adressed in next procedure. Ok, so later this day i used some sea salt spray, i use it often because it does great job holding hair and adding some volume. Btw, i cutted sides the shortest since the time of surgery.

Senior Member asterix0 Posted June 23, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2023 @GeneralNorwood if you are happy with your results do not listen to me, but my humble recommendation is to get a skin level fade for your temples or some electrolysis. They are too straight and the grafts are too thick in my opinion, something looks off even for a complete hair transplant layman or person on the street. Also, brush your hair forward I think it looks better than the slick back style. See for example Beckham here: His hairline has that natural softness in the front and unevenness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is already skinfade, cutting temples shorter will make them look worse. Electrolysis will harm ilusssion of density. I cutted temporal hair short (5mm) and i expected that they will look worse. My barber says "it's the shortest i recommend, because if we cut them more, there will be dots visible". So the best option is what i always said, if you make temple points HT, you have to grow them longer to look best. I only cutted them to confirm this. Many people don't understand that you have to grow temporal peaks longer to look good. You can check my previous updates and see what they look like when growing longer. Personally, i prefer hairstyles without big skinfade, so long temporal hair is ok for me. 11 hours ago, asterix0 said: Also, brush your hair forward I think it looks better than the slick back style.
