Hello Guys, I was curious, If I was to restore my frontal hairline, with about 1100 grafts, can I still wear my hair at an # 8 guard??? Will my bangs look unnatural at this length. I wear a military style fade.. I guess what Im asking is is this length too short for a transplant????
Can I wear my hair on a number 8 guard with a transplant??

Have a look at this. This may help you out. Joe cut his hair down to an 8 on top and a 3 on the sides. He's had well over 9000 grafts transplanted to a norwood 6 area. He doesn't normally wear his hair this short though.
Ok all, I have some photos to share going from surgery through to today, day 11 post-op. For those of you that aren't aware of my case I started out as a repair patient in 2002. I was a NW6/NW7. I had about 300 mini grafts growing in my hairline and that was it. Nothing else so for several years I had a hairline that was -
At a 8 grade on top light is your worst enemy. That being said I have seen some cases where the patient has exceptionally coarse hair, high no. hairs per FU and a slight kinky texture and they can often get away with it quite short.
I wouldn't think the strip scar would be too much of a problem wet if you got a great tricho closure. Wet hair on the sides isn't as bad as on top. You definitely need a bit of length on top if you're hair is to look reasonably thick weight.
Spex has a great video where he wets his hair.Comment

stylus,
Do you have any pics? If not, then as long as you have a fair degree of coarseness to your hair, you should be fine with average donor density.
If you do have strip and elect to go with a tryco method of closure, be sure your doc is proficient with tryco. Otherwise as long as your strip scar heals very fine, it should not stand out.
I had four strips done and even when my hair is wet, the strip scar is very undetectable. I wear the length about 2-3 inches in the donor zone and my strip scar has also resumed normal scalp color. No lingering redness."Gillenator"
