I am 30 yo, and I went through a 4000 graft beard transplant procedure last year in Turkey. I am now going through a tough time as I am not happy with my results. 1. Beard look spikey as almost all hair inserted 90 degrees on my face. When they grow longer, they look like they were patched to my face (like Wolverine’s). 2.
