Post HT density question

[Jojo]

hi there, i had a ht bout 5 months ago, its coming alone very well. I was wondering if your hair gets any denser as the months progress or in other words is the density i have now as dense at its gonna get? I know the individual hairs need to mature and all, I tried taken some close up pics but they all came out crap. Today the density looked good other days it looks a little thin. I had about 2500gfts in the temples and re-established the hairline. My doc said I'd have good coverage like 75%. Any suggestions thank in advance

at 5 months you have not even achieved 50% of the final density; as a general rule, at 6 months you have achieved 50% of the final results; you should not evaluate the final results until 1 year; the HT can still mature after 1 year; possible not to reach full maturity until 16-18 months.

Jojo,

hoose is right.

 

Here is a basic time line of your hair regrowth:

 

1. HT graft shed, first few weeks,

2. Shock loss shed, within first month after HT genrally

3. 4 months, 30% restoration,

4. 6 months about 50%,

5. 8-12 months 80% restoration,

6. 15-18 months 100% restoration.

Density aside, there are cosmetic differences of the hair as it matures. Expect the hair to be a bit coarse at first. You can actually see it in pictures ( from my own expereince) as opposed to the final product of 1 months. Its a nice ride !

Mr. Jobi,

 

Do you mean that the transplanted hair thins afterwards? Or the shaft of the hair grows a bit "irregularly" at first, and thens become a bit straighter?

i guess the full thicness is about 18-24 months right?
