First pic is with my hair wet. 

This should be my final update. I am at   the one year mark as of a few days ago. My hair looks better today than it did at 20 years old! I am incredibly happy with my result.

Hey boss, you have an amazing beard. Do you use any products on it?

jeez that's amazing. lots of people use even 2500 grafts for something like that. I always wonder though, hows the density feel like?

Density seems great! I can now swim and no longer have to worry about my wet hair looking thin.

11 months today! and probably my second to last update. I also attached a picture of my donor as requested by my boy @jimcraig152 from around 2 months ago

Pics from today where I used gel to attempt to get my hair to comb back

wtf konior did that with 1600 grafts? Are you using toppik or something?

No, I’m not using anything in my hair.

At around ten months quick update. My hair keeps getting denser and denser. 
Pics of before a haircut and right after a haircut.

I’m trying to style my hair back. Any suggestions or gel recommendations? I want to style my hair like Pique.

Nine month update 

Sorry guys, something was wrong with my math. The last update was at 7 months. This is 8 months after a haircut a few days ago. Day 242

first pic is right after a shower.

second and third with gel.

@jimcraig152gutted for you. Seems like you have really a similar hair type to myself. Hopefully, things improve more from now until the 12th month.

Great result! Enjoy it! Life changing. 

Btw in your original post you said you were going to get your Keloid removed. Have you started that procedure? I also have a similar issue. 

Thanks! I am currently in treatment for it, two more steroid shots and then I’ll have to get surgery to remove it for good.

10/10 result. Incredible. I will have to book my surgery with Konior before he retires. 

OP How old were you when you got this surgery?

Had just turned 28.

Hey all,

I got really busy with life and focused my attention on other things mainly work and another cross country move. I recently shared with  Dr. Konior pictures of my almost 8 month progress and decided to update here too. Around month 4 everything changed and my hair just starting booming. I no longer think about my hair, and if my this is my final result I am extremely content. I regularly get skin fades and my barber mentioned he is not able to notice anything in regards to my donor. 
 

If you’re considering Dr. Konior, and need a sign, this is it. Do it, this has been easily been the best decision in my life. I feel like now I’m at my best 😝 

Donor today 

Curious how much this really matters. Tagging @Melvin-Moderatorsince he is pretty knowledgeable and has read a lot of posts here.

Yes, it is true he only took from my right side and back. 

Wow, this experience  saddens me. Hoping for the best!

Random, but I’m sure many of you guys went through this, but how are you all that are single going on about dating?

@jimcraig152 @Melvin-Moderator @1978matt thank you for your responses. To be honest, I kind of wish I would have kept that “redness” as it would have given more of a hairline illusion 😝 

👋🏼 quick five week update. Everything is still looking bad as expected. Actually the donor looks really good. Have two dates this weekend so I’m a little concerned but we will see.

Your hair is gonna look amazing once this is all said and done. The wait is the hardest. By the time you know it, you’ll start seeing hair, and then boom off to the races.

Thanks man, I’ve been spending some time reading other people’s journeys to not get discouraged.

Did you ever experience any pain or discomfort in your donor area? Any intense burrowing sensation at all as the nerve endings reconnect? I am guessing no or not much as you have not mentioned it.

Also, I think you've reached the bottom depths of the ugly duckling stage and you did so quickly. You'll probably be there for another month before you start to rebound. So for Thanksgiving, might just go with a zero fade hairdo.

Nope! Absolutely, zero pain. It did feel like tingling, but that was during the first few days after the procedure. Lately, I sometimes feel like my grafted area feels itchy. Did that also happened to you?

Regarding timing, unfortunately I was not able to plan it like how I wanted (this was the soonest I could be seen as Konior has a long waitlist). Every January we had a company kickoff, where the company would fly us all out. Which would be around 4 months in for me. Thankfully or rather unfortunately due to covid that will be canceled. Unsure how long I can go with the beanie on during zoom meetings.  I feel like I got my ugly stage fast and hard 😂 

I envy you bro hahah. Your growth starting to trend upwards!!

As always thanks @jimcraig152 for the honest update. Regarding the holidays, I am also concerned because I will be visiting my parents thanksgiving week. I am thinking about just rocking a beanie but for a whole week it might be weird. Also, my parents have a spidey sense when it comes to me 😂. Curious as to why you don’t buzz your existing non grafted hair to make it a little more even? I’m rooting for you !!

edit: I don’t think those infamous cornrows look as obvious as before but that’s just me.
