Shock loss
Temporary shedding of transplanted (and sometimes surrounding native) hair around month 2–4 post-op. Expected and self-resolving.
This article is a placeholder while the editorial backlog is being written. The full version will cite peer-reviewed studies and patient-journey data from the The Hair Library index.
The published version will cover: definitions, when each recommendation applies, the evidence base, common misconceptions, and practical next steps. You can still browse all verified clinics, journeys, and products while we finish writing — the rest of the site is live.
In the meantime, the patient community has active threads on most of these topics. If you can't wait, that's usually the fastest way to get a real answer.
