I had Ht about 2 and half weeks ago, Hair in grats is coming out, curious though whats the average time for the redness to dissappear?

If you are fair skinned, as I am, it can take months. I used make up and it covers it up well.

I'm 3 weeks post HT and still pretty red but then again I had dense packing. You can do a search on here and get a fairly wide range of results. I've heard everywhere from little to no red right after the scabs came off to 3-4 months. Think Uncjim currently holds the record though...if I remember right he made it 5 months or so. I have to admit the shock of seeing me without long combed over hair in the front has caused a lot more questions than the redness. I've only had one person say anything at all and they just said "looks like you got some sunburn after you shaved it."

I had some shock loss below the donor scar (or the buzzed donor hair just hasn't grown back out enough yet) and mild shock loss in the original front hair. The hair I originally had in front is growing slowly but surely from the buzz. Pretty much all of the transplanted hairs have jumped ship and started their long slumber before they start growing again.

At a little over 3 weeks I'm still in the ugly hair phase. Front is short because it was buzzed (slightly red also) - probably back up to a #1.5 or #2. Sides are a #3 to prevent the scar from showing and I can't suntan to make everything blend together. That being said with a little Prothik the scar is undetectable with the #3 and if I use the Prothik to create a shadow in the original front hairs it doesn't look bad either. Can't wait for about another 5 weeks when everything will be evened out and I'll be able to use concealers better. Of course I really can't wait for another 7 months when everything will hopefully be growing in nicely...but I don't want to be too greedy

donor area via strip: about 3 months of pinkness for me

recipient area: about 14 days.

I'm fair skinned, but my recipient area redness/pinkness subsided quickly. I was quite pleased.

Hi Vocor1:
Is there a way to hide the redness(Pinkness) cosmetically /
Thanks

I'm at 9 weeks and the front is still pink along the hairline but fading. The mid scalp and back the redness went away in about 3 weeks.I just let my hair grow to cover it.

A little women's makeup works great. It blends in well even where there's hair. Just dab some on your finger and start rubbing it on you scalp.
