do you think PRP for the texture you would have to keep taking it like for hairloss, as what i am trying to achieve is just improve the texture and strength of the hair.

But almost all my transplanted hairs are like this, i highly doubt someone of dr de freitas reputation and skill would have done this, i will speak further with the cinic next week about it and what you said.

That is what the de freitas team said to me, although im sure there has to be a ways to strengthen the hair texture, apart from using products like hair masks or bond smoothers for hair, that is why i was thinking PRP but apparently that is ineffective.

Hi Melvin, good to hear and see you again, i am trying stuff like olaplex 6 and 7, like bonding smoother and oils, plus hair masks conditioners, they do improve the situation, but i am wondering if i can take anything to improve the hairs texture and strength? - not sure taking minoxidil would but i might need to get on it, already taking propecia. How is everything with yourself and your journey regarldess?

Hi Rafael, could you explain further please? Apologies, knew to this science of this.

It is for sure the transplanted hairs that are like this and yes i take propecia, i was taking minoxidil for a year after the surgery and before but stopped due to hair getting to long, its so annoying to apply when hair is long, makes it sticky and impossibly to get to scalp unless you use something very thin. Funnily you mentioned the hair cut, the hairdresser said the hair at the back of your head is different to the font, so it is defiently the transplanted hairs. I did take 3/4 inches off my hair, so maybe i just get it cut more regulary to see if it improves the situation.

I am using some hydration masks which do help a little bit and some products like bonding smoothers, has there been any evidence that minoxidil help change the texture of the graft and improves the hairs strength, i was taking minoxidil - not oral, for a good year and a half post surgery, but stopped after my hair grew to long, just get messy and sticky and in the way. I will ask the de freitas team to see if minoxidil would help the graft. I am from the UK, do you need a prescription for oral minoxidil or can you get online? Thanks for your help.

Hello, I am the person, looking for some advice and some help. I am the person in this thread - I am been talking to the @De Freitas Clinic about the hair follicles taking a very wired appearance compared to my naturally wavy hair type. You can see by the pictures below to what i am alluding too? I have some questions if anyone could possibly answer. Toy can tell which is my natural hair and the transplanted hair, i was speaking to the hairdresser and they did comment your hair at the front is completely different to the rest of your head. Is there anything i can do about this, the clinic said that this "this is completely Normal for implanted hair to have a different texture, you can use conditioners or masks to improve this appearance (which i have been doing), also it is vital to continue pharmaceutical treatment - minoxidil and propecia" - i do not do minoxidil as my hair is to long for that now. So, does anyone think using PRP treatment or anything to help strengthen the hair further to develop naturally? - i was wonder if anyone had any ideas or if anyone wants to discuss feel free below. I dont want to sound petty, i know i have had a very good result, but i just wanted more knowledge about the transplanted hair texture and how to improve it. Thanks for any help. Adam

Thank you for your comments, as i have said in the past, i am very lucky, mainly because of the hair i have, my hair naturally is incredibly thick. I think at the start of my thread i gave the sheet used of the information, i honestly wouldn't know how to advise you on your question, rather than give false information. Alot can come down to surgeon technique for example, i chose De Freitas because of the hairlines i have seen and he works with similar thicker hair in spain like mine. I would gain knowledge from your surgeon about technique and other things and ask more advanced forum members their thoughts. I hope your transplant goes well for you.

@BjornBorg So sorry i am late to this party, look at this result, by the way you forgot to pay my recommendation commission.haha - just joking, delighted for you. Enjoy. You look great. De Freitas is a different class.

Imagine if i said no....😁.....it is a very strong yes.

Very lucky, thank you, good luck with your journey.

Thank you my friend

i am and thank you.
