Asked By:HusseinJ84 in Phoenix, AZ

had hair transplant in 8 months ago. first month I noticed the new hair growing in the opposite direction compared to the original. As well as the density. People can tell something wrong about my hair. I tired to accept the situation & use gel but I got tired of it & cant stand having hair anymore. I called few clinics and they suggested to re- implant new hair from donor area which i don't prefer. I am seeking advice and want to know what is the best option possible on how to fix my hair.
