Avon Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi gents I had an FUT procedure to lower my hairline with a coalition doctor in September of 2011. I don't suffer from MPB and wasn't receding - I just wanted a lower hairline. 18 months on and, while all the grafts have grown in, I'm very concerned that the texture of the transplanted hairs remain thin and wispy and different to my native hair. Admittedly, I was a slow grower so I may have to wait a bit longer for the hair to mature. I have no problem with waiting since I've already waited 18 months but my question is this: If all the grafts have grown in, can I expect them to eventually mature and thicken? Has anyone here had a HT in which the transplanted hairs didn't thicken and mature . . . EVER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member xtatic5 Posted March 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2013 I can't help you since I'm only 2 months post-op but I had the same type of procedure. I sure hope I'm not waiting 18+ months for mature hair! Are you taking any supplements? I'm on Biotin and MSM+C. I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avon Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks for your reply, xtatic5. I'd have thought my question would have garnered greater interest but maybe people need to see pictures. Anyway, I'm not on any medication or supplements because I'm not losing my hair; the procedure was just to lower my hairline. I'd appreciate any additional responses.

Senior Member hairthere Posted March 27, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2013 The hair certainly can continue to mature and change its texture. Hair grows in cycles and you have to remember that your transplanted hair, while your own, is not naturally occurring and has been through quite a bit of trauma (as has your scalp). Think about a child's hair and how much it changes from infancy to adulthood. Give it some more time. You also might want to try some high end styling products. I just started using macadamia but oil products and they have done wonders for my HT texture. There are also some great thickening products out there.

Biotin and MSM increase your growth rate and thicken the hair shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
