Cali Time

Still early. I’m at 5 half months. And my hair just starting to thicken up a tad. This is my second transplant myself for the front. I have really thick hair so I need it to thicken up lol. But we still early not even half way there yet! Do you mind posting a pic still? I know you said there’s no change at all just in all curiosity to see it at 5 months. Remember this is your thread it will be a good reference for the future when it’s past a year. Ppl can relate to you as well for late bloomers 

Can we get an update picture? You should awesome growth at this point!

Did your scalp become irritated and red?  If not you should be fine.  Make sure to keep it healthy as grafts are still waiting to regrow.

No my scalp didn’t turn red. I’m conditioning my hair as well to keep it healthy.

I just dyed my hair 4 half months in post op. Did I ruin my grafts? Will it ruin the growth?

Update us with new pics please 

I saw first signs of new hairs pop up my 8 week post op. I’m 3 months in now and it seems all my newly planted hair has sprout up and is starting to thicken up.

You’ll see hairs come in at the 3.5 month mark 

How does your hair look with your hair pulled back?

I don’t think that’s true, sounds a little bro-science. The side effects are completely different. I’m willing to give it a try.

Okay let me know how you are on it down the road update us. I just did my research and was going to order it. I don’t need to go in detail but there’s plenty of YouTube videos and articles online saying there’s bad long term side effects not worth the risk for me if the topical working great with no side effects. 

Check this video out. this is how I do mine but add a scalp messager brush to rub the foam in my crown fully.

Have you noticed any sides at all? I’m a little worried about the elevated heart rate. 

I don’t have sides on finasteride. But I herd it easier to get sides with oral minoxidil then you would with finasteride. So whoever has bad sides with finasteride you’ll most likely get it with the oral minoxidil. 

I take topical minoxidil generic foam 1X a day before I go to bed. I herd great results with it. I’m getting good coverage already and I just started it. It drys up quick I use a scalp messager brush to rub the foam in to the areas that are thin. If you don’t like the foam because you have long hair like me and don’t want to use the liquid because it’s messy and irritates scalp with dandruff. You can make the foam into a liquid and get a scalp messager brush and rub it in with all the great benefits the foam has. You only need to apply the foam once with the 23 hour half which the oral minoxidil only has 6 hour half life. Watch this video for more information.

So your still taking fin. How about minoxidil you still on that? Great fast results for 5 months 

I washed my hair and was rubbing getting scabs off starting day 7. Scabs were completely off by day 9.

Donor area. It should be quite clean after I shampoo it.

Did they only take grafts from your middle and left side of the donor?

Every 15 minutes according to HDC, at least in the first 2 days and then every hour or so.

I did mine every hour what my doc said for the first week.

Call your doctor and ask that question he will know best
