Unsure this is the right area. I just want some opinions

 I was considering beginning to go on a 4 month save up plan for a hair transplant and I did send an email for a consultation.

 

 

How many grafts do you guys think I'm looking at and a decent price range

 I'm 24 and I e been balding since 20 since I started wildland firefighting and working out heavy

 

Im new to this subject

Photos are not focused...Hard to tell...Hair a bit short and that's not helping either.  Let your hair grow a week or two and post again.  Have someone else take the photo.

Take a photo of the back of your head as well.

Are you doing any type of medical therapy? (Propecia, Rogaine, Laser).

Do you want to cover your entire head?

If you've already met with a doctor, what did they recommend?

Family history of hair loss?

How much money do you want to spend?

If you're new to this, a few things to be aware of:

• possible keloid scarring in African-Americans
• AAs often have much lower hair densities than other races.  Natural curl compensates though.
• FUE is difficult due to hook shaped hair follicles.  Some doctors are better than others.
• Do not use the ARTAS robot as it only works for people with straight hair.
• Suggest only looking at high end doctors in order to limit the chance of fcuk ups.

I am doing rogaine thats I do have a family history on dads side of hair loss so I'm assuming this is mob

 

I'm willing to spend 5000 to 8000 of that will cover it?

Not unless you're traveling to Turkey or India. Even then, 5,000 dollars is really nothing. You have a large degree of hair loss. You will be a norwood 6. I know this will be difficult to accept, but at some point all of the hair on top of your head will be gone. It's not where you are now, it's where you will be, so you need to plan for the future. I would suggest getting the hairline done first, and then focusing on the midscalp and crown at a later time. The hairline will need at least 2,000 grafts. I would save up at least 15K. 

This way you're not held back by finances, you can go to whoever you want to, and let the results dictate your choice. You need a specialist in Afrocentric hair. In the meantime, you can use hair fibers and look pretty good, you still have a decent amount of hair left.

Look into a system. I've seen some incredible videos with your type of hair. because its so thick naturally the systems actually look good.
