I started suffering from traction alopecia back in 2013. I used rogaine, other oils claiming to help with growth and nothin really worked. So I finally broke down and got a hair transplant August 15, 2019. I'll be posting pictures monthly.

Today marks 1 month. So far only updates are sutures have been removed and all the scabs are gone. Hair is starting to grow over the suture line. I’m still bald lol. I’ve been wearing headbands and some days a wig. Will update next month.

It’s been two months and still no sign of hair. I sent these pictures to my doctor and he said it looks fine and it’s still very early. I feel like other people had more hair than this at 2 months but I know I can’t compare my progress to others. So the waiting game continues... 4 months is supposed to be when the growth starts. I’ve never wanted time to move any faster lol

4 months. This is when they say the growth starts. I’m seeing a little more density but it’s still very thin. Glad to see a hairline forming. Still waiting....

Can’t believe it’s been 8 months! Even more amazed at the amount of growth! Still have 4 more months til I reach my maximum results! I have no regrets

It will make one year on 8/15/20. I am so glad I did this. It was worth it! The growth is amazing. My hairline is full, the transplanted hair is healthy and it is growing in length. The donor area is completely covered and the hair is growing back just fine. The only thing I will say is I wish the top grew in as thick as the sides, but considering nothing was there to begin with, I really have no complaints. Definitely recommend this if you can do it.
