Can you advise on low density & kinky texture 1 year post-op? (Photo)

Asked By:GB_11 in Metomen, Wisconsin

It's been a year since my transplant and I have far less density than I should. The transplanted hairs are growing in length, but they're very dry and have a wiry/kinky texture. Is this the result of a botched procedure? I did have a short phase where I smoked a couple cigarettes per day that started about five months after the transplant. I stopped smoking again about a month ago. Is it possible that smoking delayed my growth/healing, and can I expect the texture to change from here?
