    Unhappy Question on FUE Grafts and having them removed - need advive please...

    Question, so I had pretty nominal Norwood 3 type hair loss and two years ago got the first of 2 FUE hair transplants (1500 grafts first time, 1000 grafts second time). At first I liked them but my hairline is too high and thin now and have decided to go with a shorter buzz cut look.

    There is nothing I can do to go back in time and not have the procedure, but I don't like the FUE grafts at all, they have a darker root, look much darker than my natural hair and I have literally been pulling them individually from my scalp and temples. I have probably pulled 500 out of my head, each individually, without pulling out surrounding finer hair.

    Here is my question. If you pull out the FUE graft, does it...

    1) not grow back at all (I'm totally OK with that).
    2) grow back but thinner and finer (which is also OK because that would better match my surrounding hair) or
    3) grow back exactly like before, dark and dissimilar to surrounding hair.

    I don't mind if my hairline goes back, I'll just buzz until I have to shave but I want these FUE grafts either out of my frickin head or blending better.

    Can I just pluck my way to getting rid of these things or do I have to have laser surgery?

    Photos would be nice.

    To your question, I'd say #3.

    I don't think plucking them will solve your problem and will be slightly painful.
