FALSE: Cutting your hair only affects the shaft, but not the follicle, which is the part responsible for growth and premature loss. Getting your hair cut may mean you feel like it’s falling out less as your split ends will have been removed and your hair will look healthier, but it has no impact on new growth or loss.
How long does it take to see results with PRP?
When To Expect Results It can take up to six to twelve months to visually see your PRP results in the mirror, although most clients begin to notice results at three months. Standardized photos will be taken before each PRP Hair Restoration treatment so that improvement can be tracked.
How do I know if my hair is shedding too much?
You can perform a “pull test” on your hair at home. Start with a small area of clean, dry hair, and run your fingers through it, tugging gently once you get to the ends of your hair strands. If more than two or three hairs are left in your hand after each tug, you may be experiencing telogen or anagen effluvium.
