Regular Member sea of possibilities Posted March 17, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2008 hi guys.. I had a hair transplant in my frontal area 7 and a half months ago. The transplanted hair are growing and I'm waiting for the texture to change as time goes by.. However, my concern is about their final deflation. My "original" hair (from the donor area) are straight (=not curly, I'm not sure if I'm using the right word), as are the rest of my hair. The transplanted ones are coming out sort of curly, for the time being. My doctor said the transplanted hair's deflation will be just like how they were growing before, but I'm not seeing this so far. It's been a really nasty 7+1/2 months and I'm very anxious about the whole thing so I'd really appreciate an answer. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 17, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2008 Transplanted hair sometimes does start growing sort of curly at first. It will slowly straighten out and get softer, but it can take 18 months to get to a normal state. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a paid forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
