Does FUE have less hair in the same number of grafts than that by strip method?

well there is view like that because in FUE some of the grafts (about 8-10%) can have partial extraction of the grafts due to the nature of the procedure this may extract less number of hairs. As against the in FUE we have a freedom of choosing follicles with 3-4 hairs unlike the strip method therefore total number of hairs extrcted at time may be same or even more than the same number of grafts by strip method as in strip we do not have any choice but to harvest whatever is available in the strip area.

Flakiness due to Minoxidil liquid- Is Foam better?

Propylene Glycol is often the cause for this dryness, irritation, itchiness and flakiness. Daily thorough shampoo wash and application of say Johnson’s baby oil at nighttime on alternate days on the scalp is usually beneficial. Conditioner for the dry scalp or hair can be used. Foam based preparation has no PG (Propylene Glycol) For more details check: here
