Recovery from shock loss??

[cphan]

So anyways in last few days I got a call from Dr. Wong office. They wanted me to come back for a quick recheck up after 11 months or so.

So I did. I guess this is normal. One thing I notice from my hair transplant was that the back, sides and even the top and back of the top are normal and smooth.
I notice the hair transplant on the front were acting weird like they didn't blend in with the other hairs. It was all fuzzy, dry, and not smooth and going in a weird way than it used to before the hair transplant.

I was actually about to ask Dr.Wong this when I saw him but.... as soon as he check my front hair where the transplant was he knew notice it what away.

He said, "its kinky. shock loss. probably about 18 months to 22 months for the transplant hair to be normal again."

He said the transplanted hair is suffering from shock loss.

I'm curious if that's normal for it to take 2-3 years before the transplanted hair be normal again?
