a question for those who had HST
As you all know, i had my HST almost 9 months ago and im pretty satisfied with the recovery, recipient area growth, cosmetic improvement, and donor lack of scaring. Now, ever since i had my HST I sport the buzzcut (grade 2 on top and 1 on sides and back, this has been my prefered haircut even before HST). I recently decided to let my hair grow just for a little change and i notice the transplanted hair is kinda sticking up a bit, while the native hair lays flat downward.
Anybody experinced that ? Do transplanted hair need more time to be fully mature and take the final shape ? Or the direction of transplanted hair was done different ?

Hi,
Yes mine is similar when at the in-between stage between cropped and longer.

You had an HST or traditional HT ?
Also what happens when the hair gets longer ?
-
HST. When hair gets longer it's more controllable.

Is the transplant facing uniform direction?
Are they straight? Are they as thick as the original donor?
-
Yes, but as aim4hair posted they seem to project slightly more vertically compared to the native hair at a certain point in growth. The new hair is straight and as thick as the surrounding hair, but possibly more singles.

If I had a complaint, this would probably be it.
I'm not sure how my hair would be shaved, but as it is now (long), the hair doesn't stick straight up. It lays naturally. I think, as time goes by and the hair cycles, it starts to move more and more in the native direction-- at least from what I'm seeing and from what I've read.
Still, I wish they'd directed the hairs in a more natural way from the start. I noticed on some more recent HST patients they seem to have done this. Perhaps they've corrected it. I'm sure it's harder for the surgeon to angle the holes this way. I think it's pretty common for FUE docs to do this too, as it's said that the hairs take to native characteristics eventually.

At which hair length does this occur mostly?
