Hello,

So its been 4 months since my HT with Dr. Dorin on 9/6/11. I have a lot of acne only on the left side of my hairline. But aside from that I m very happy with the results thus far.

Thank you so much for posting your results so far. I see traction alopecia so common in African Americans.

Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

You're welcome. I'll post more pics in the coming months.

Correction good people. I am only 4 months post op, not 5. I would love to rush along the process lol

Traction,

Thank you for sharing! This should be an excellent result when fully matured. I hope you'll keep us updated.

Tractionloss,

Congratulations and thank you for taking the time to share your experience and results. I've taken the liberty of editing your original post to reflect 4 months rather than 5 months post-op.

Happy growing! Please keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck traction loss, I will be rooting for ya! I am an african American female who just had a hair transplant in the areas you did on Jan 11th. I am praying that I get good results. I can't take the bald areas anymore.

Tractionloss,

Thanks for sharing your story and progress pictures with us. I know first-hand what it's like to want to rush the process. But it looks like you're right on track for only 4 months.

I do hope that once your new hair grows in that you have alternative hair styling options in mind in order to prevent traction alopecia from re-occuring? I look forward to seeing your new hair in do in the coming months :-).

Best wishes,

Bill

Thanks everyone. I have changed my hair regimen to avoid traction alopecia in the future.

Traction, how did you wear your hair during recovery? Did you wear wigs?
