Thoughts on time of year for HT

[Chetman2112]

Hello everyone, curious on what the forum thinks is the best time/month to schedule a HT? I realize this is personal choice and the answer varies for everyone but I’m wondering what peoples thoughts are on this. Did you shoot for end of summer, fall, after Christmas, any thoughts with explanation would be very helpful.

I prefer winter time so I could wear beanies during ugly duckling phase.

Honestly, whichever time of year you like least.  Because a guaranteed 2-3 months are going straight to sh**.  If there is a 2-4 month span you most enjoy, I'd try to get the procedure done at least 5+ months prior...  Personally, I think mid-late January would be the best time.  You'd be ready for the next fall and you'd look normal by mid summer.  I think the time I'd least like to get it would be mid-September, because then through early November is my favorite time of year.

Winter is better because less chance of getting a sunburn.

Wearing a hat seems pretty sufficient.

To be honest there is never a best time. There is always a wedding or a funeral that pops up, some special event, etc. I guess the best time to is when you can afford it and you've found the right doctor for you case! 😉👌

I think late September / early October because you get to have the full 6 months of darker evenings while things are bad. Then as the days get brighter in March and April, your hair gets better too.

If you are in an area that has cold Winters then late fall or early winter is best because while it's cold you can wear hoodies and hats all Winter long and nobody will think anything of it. By the time the Spring comes you'll be well into growth mode and ready for Summer. An added bonus is the day light hours are much shorter in Winter and it's much harder to notice anything was done on your head in the darker hours if you do get seen by anyone.
