Hi everyone, I've been lurking this site for a while and decided to join. I've been experiencing hair loss since 19. Started around the temples and now diffusing to the crown. It's definately took a toll on my confidence. I'm a barber so over the years I've been able to hide my loss by cutting my hair lower. I had a FUE procedure done by Dr. William Yates of Chicago last week. He extracted about 1250 grafts from my donor and restored the hair line and temple areas. The staff encouraged me that I was have a good yield because of my curly type hair. Also, Doc Yates said in his experience, that 1200 gratfs usually produce great results for african Americans. I would like any opinions on your expirence on black hair and FUE. I'll post pics of my hair before and post op for better opinions. Thank you all.
