6 months post op/ kinky;pluggy line- conerns?

[ctillisc]

So i am six months post op with Dr. Ross (La Jolla), and am beginning to get a bit concerned. I received 2500 grafts in the hairline region. Although there has been an immense improvement, the hairline itself is a bit spacy and pluggy. The hair itself is kinky, dry, and wire like. Its not as bad as it sounds, and I know its still very EARLY, but is there cause for concern here?

 

Can someone reassure me that I will see an improvement in texture and thickness within the next few months? I have darker hair too, and at this point id rather wear my hair down and cover up the hairline because i think it looks a little obvious

 

I've seen Dr. Umar (Los Angeles) body hair techniques in placing thinner hair for a more natural look to refine the hairline.. Was wondering if i should start considering..

Anyways, Ive remained optimistic and hopeful this entire 6 months and will keep with the glass is half full mentality

 

Happy Growing

 

Thanks guys! any input/advice helps

You have to give it more time. 6 months is still very early in the game. It make take another year for the kinky hairs to straighten out. I had a few myself, but they eventually get better.

As RC pointed out, you have a lot of growing to go and your hair will continue to mature as well as straighten out. There's no need for you to start planning more surgery just yet.

Just chiming in to say I had a lot of weird kinky hairs for the first year and then then subtley straighened out over time.

^ Actually that also sounds like an accurate description of my sex life from age 20 until now: ("started out kinky, got kind of straight and boring once I got married")

I'm coming up on a year and my hairs are still wiry, wavy, and course...and the spaces between the hair is large to my ye, and the overall density is much less than the hair in back...the whole thing (3,000 follicles) is a lot thinner than I thought it would be, or had hoped. Not completely happy with it becuase I used to, and wanted to gel my hair back, but can't because you can see the scalp when I do.

Who did you surgery? What was your Norwood?
