Sometimes I get lazy and do a speedy detach and the area gets sore after one or a few of those, reminding me to be gentle. The hair you're seeing could be system hair, or hair that was just going to be shed in the shower or during your next brushing, but yeah if you just tear the thing off as I've had to do once or twice you'll definitely feel and even hear them ripping out.

The plan with the transplants and all just seems like a very long, expensive uphill battle. If you're comfortable wearing, why bother with all the HTs? They'll never match the hair that a system can give from what I've seen. I am also continuing taking meds. I figure might as well try and maintain the hair that I do have for as long as possible . They say the more amount of your real hair you can incorporate into your look, the easier. It is sort of a trade-off though because there are some risks with the meds and they aren't cheap.
