Scabs coming off. Is this normal?

[37L]

I am 12 days post FUE.

Today I washed my hair and quite a few scabs started to come off.

Many of these scabs contained small hairs.

Should shedding start at 12 days? Is this normal?

Pretty normal I think. It happened to me.

Thanks for the reply. How many days post op were you when it started to happen?

Maybe a week when it started? It became more obvious later on. I think I clearly saw hairs inside of scabs by two weeks.

Stressful isn’t it haha. Have you had good regrowth after the initial shedding stage?

Haha, yes stressful but thankfully I had prior warning, or else I would have freaked out. I'm only four weeks into it, so I have some regrowth but hopefully a lot more is coming!
