Can saving balding head with a blade cause more hair loss?

[sheraz1392]

I shaved my head with a blade a couple of months ago.

Last week, I went to a hair transplant clinic for consultation.

I met an assistant there who asked me if I had shaved with blade or clipper.

Upon knowing that I had shaved my head with blade, he said that I have done irreversible damage to my hair.

He said, many of my hair which were thin before are not going to grow back, as they are usually not healthy enough to come out of the skin surface after a shave with a blade.

According to him, shave with a blade cuts the hair from deep into skin and the weak ones(miniaturizing) just do not grow back to the surface.

I'm worried and bashing my head against the wall and regretting my decision of shaving my head with a blade so close to the scalp.

The reason I shaved head was my severe Seborrheic Dermatitis.

I'm already using minoxidil(which I doubt is fake) and I don't know what else to do to reverse or even minimize the damage done!

BULL****!
Don't ever considering having hair transplant there!


Admitting he's right, which i doubt, hairs that cannot grow back after a shave are very very miniaturised anyway, almost peach fuzz, and their presence simply doesn't help in any way cosmetically, and, after all, they are anyway "on their way out".

It is just a part of their strategy to convince you to have hair transplant, yes, it's well-known ****ty hair transplant clinics support this, that shaving o or clipping your hair damages it, but it's certainly false and stupid.
They just want to "suck you in", tell you" look, you damaged some hair by shaving, now let us put you more grafts, to charge you more money.
Don't ever get back there, they are almost certainly bad in hair transplant.
Who are they and where are they located, anyway, so other people know to avoid them?
It is bull**** and complete ignorance. How then minoxidil grows back tiny peach fuzz? How can that fuzz break the surface, if it were true what that incompetent said?

Well, he was being friendly and helpful and even told me about the reputed dermatologists to see for my Seborrheic Dermatitis.

He didn't say that minoxidil will reverse that peach fuzz. He recommended minoxidil for the existing hair.

I'm just feeling bad. I feel like i abused my hair!.

Stop that, shaving didn't harm your hair at all.
He is wrong/doesn't know what he's talking about.
HE doesn't know anyhting about hair growth!

And here is my ultimate argument: hair cycles !
Hair has periods of growth and periods of rest.
When that miniaturised hair of yours goes to resting phase, it is going to shed, and then grow again. So, if he's right, and weak hair can't grow back if you shave it, thus cutting it slightly under the skin, how would it manage to grow back when it starts over at the root, which is some 3-4 mm under the skin??
Do you get me at this?
And miniaturised hair, have in mind, has shorter cycles.
He is talking nonsense, he has no logic, only tales.
Don't let you be fooled by the fact he was nice and friendly. IF someone is nice and friendly it doesn't mean he know what he is talking about.
So please disconsider what he said and have no worries, you hadn't damaged your hair in any way by shaving it!

And be aware where you do the transplant, if you do it. There are a lot of bad hair transplat clinics all around the world! They are nice and friendly, take your money, and then do horrific jobs whichs leaves you worse than before hair transplant, and scarred after-all!
Don't consider it an offense, but you seem quite naive, if you believed that bull**** that assistant said and now you are torenting yourslef. You could be the perfgect candidate for these poor hair transplant doctors.
Do your research, and only choose well-known and reputed doctors, which have tons of succesful cases everywhere.
Be careful!!!!!!
