Shaving off failed hair transplant

[Skillie]

Like a zero guard?

I agree if you go a little shorter and keep it that length, it'll look much better. I would think a 1 would be short enough to help disguise the discrepancy between the different levels of density, so maybe just giving it a quick buzz every 3-4 days would be the solution. If not, try a no guard and see what that looks like.

I agree, it would almost certainly look better if you shaved it down closer. The extra length is just highlighting the faults.

Dude, so sorry to hear this. Based on experience, I can completely feel your pain. You may have to shave it close to the skin and more often due to patches as a result of this procedure. Not only that, hopefully your donor is good to support it.

Sorry for being late in getting back to yous guys. I've been getting it buzzed to a zero guard back and sides and a half guard on top. Here's a couple photos, let me know what you think, actually can't believe how bad an impact this is having on my life☹️

This is the donor area, some scarring visible but to be honest I can live with it. Does anyone know if its possible to get a hairline fixed/removed as I realise it's quite low and unnatural looking

zero guard all over

Honestly I think anyone who doesn't know much about hair transplants, won't expect anything. You could probably get the hair laser ed off. I don't think I would worry about scarring as it really doesn't look very noticeable

Count your blessings you don't have a scar on the back of your head to deal with. Keep it short, and in a month you and everyone else will be use to it

HUGE improvement from the first photo you shared. If you wanna do a zero all over it may look even better... But I think this is definitely doable and looks good on you.

And of course this would have a negative impact on your life while you're adjusting to it and working through it all. Every single person on this forum has/has had insecurities about our hair, and being on the receiving end of a failed transplant comes with its own set of disappointment and grief. I'm just very happy for you that you don't have a strip scar and that you're able to pull this look off. Hopefully with time you'll be used to this being your look and won't even think twice about it anymore.
