How short can you cut your hair in the back before you see the scar. Can you buzz it? Could you go as short as a No. 2 razor? If you did see it would it look odd or would people think it was just a scar, like you just cut your head in a fall or accident?

m32,

Excellent doctors today use the trychophytic donor closure technique which allows you to have a nearly undetectable donor even with short hair, for more info on the technique checkout:

It still varies for each patient but many patients are able buzz there hair short without the scar being noticeable.

Hey ,if your procedure is done with the Marzola method[Trichphytic] your scar will be very little,then you usually you could use number 2 razor.

Even with trichophytic closure there's no guarantee. I had it, and I'm pleased with the result. I think I could clip down to 1/2" for sure without it being detectable.....maybe a little further. However, everyone's hair characteristics are different...........density, straight or curly............I've seen some with what I refer to as "clingy" type hair that seem to be able to clip shorter than most and still hide the scar. Those with very straight hair that stands out a little more before laying down won't be as fortunate.

I wouldn't count on clipping closer than 1/2" without scar detection after a HT.

I cut mine down the #1 guard and I can see the scar, I don't see the scar as much with #2 guard.

hopefully, once all the graphs mature and start growing I won't be cutting my hair short anymore.
