Regular Member Birdness Posted October 18, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2013 After a HT, do hairlines become softer and more natural in appearance? If so, what time period? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member orangehair Posted October 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2013 absolutely birdness....generally around 3 - 6 months the hair emerge and can be a bit fine and wispy at first...then around 6 - 9 months will sometimes take on a wiry almost coarse nature in texture....from about 10 - 14 months there should be an evolution into a more normalized texture and trajectory to the hair ...this sequence varies but there is definitely a progression that happens. If the hairs are transplanted properly, have been angulated and designed to lay together and the follicles are healthy with minimal trauma.. you should expect a very normal lay and appearance by around the 14 - 18 month mark. hope this helps.

Regular Member Birdness Posted October 19, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2013 Do any patients have personal experience with the hairline softening and become more natural with time ?? All responses welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RopainNogain Posted October 19, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yes, the above statement mirrors my experience. The full maturity into naturalness starts after 12 month post op. My hair started looking more natural at the 14 month mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member xtatic5 Posted October 19, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ropain, did your hair also become fuller/thicker during the maturation process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RopainNogain Posted October 20, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2013 Xtatic-I didn't notice it get thicker, the hairs just flowed better and layed in a more natural pattern. The wirey hairs straightened out and styling becomes a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted October 20, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 20, 2013 In general, I think you lose a bit of perceived density with maturation since the hairs are not as coarse and wavy any longer. This was my experience and Jotronic confirmed this is typically the case.
