I am 3 weeks and 2 days and still have about 50%of my graphs. I have been waiting for a big shed to occure.

Twice a day..everyday, I gently rub my hand through my hair over my white sink to see how many hairs fall. and I haven't seen more than 3 or 4 hairs at a time sometimes more sometimes less. I bet many are coming out during the shower.

My question is how did you guys measure this? I read one guy did it over a white tee shirt..ETC.

THIN,

Often times there is no "big shed", instead you'll get a gradual shed. At 3 weeks, 50% transplanted hair shed is normal. I'd expect over the next couple of weeks that the majority will be also shed. I know you have wishful thinking that they will stick around, but don't hold your breath Smile
