Slow grower / slow developer / late bloomer: Reality or urban legend only?

Hi there.

 

I've been thinking: whenever I see a HT which has achieved good results I see that the patient had started seeing hair growth from the 3rd or 4th month.

 

I've heard a lot about "slow growers" or "slow developers" or "late bloomers" who had hair growth starting several months after the "3-4 months pattern".

 

I also have heard that a growth starting later won't necessary mean that the results won't be great.

 

Ok.

 

But... actually I never saw a single case (especially with photos) showing a late bloomer who has achieved significant results in spite of a delayed growing process.

 

Has anybody saw a single case or is it an urban legend only? (if so, links for the cases will be welcome).

Only some more details.

I have definetly had cases that had very good results where the hair did not start growing until the fifth month or later. Most of those case were in older patients. However, I do agree that many of the cases that have really great results occur in patients who starting getting very early hair growth.
