I would like to know if my transplant looks like a success, what do you think? (Photos)

Hi, I have gone through my hair transplant about 3 months ago. Some rougher hairs still seems to be on my head, they don’t seem to have shedded. I don’t really feel that they are growing neither are they shedding. I am worried about their current state and wondering if this is normal and how can I tell if the transplant was successful or not. Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question. It takes roughly between 10-14 days for scabs to fall off. Once they are all gone you are free to wear any hat/durags/hijabs, except the helmets. During post op consultation, clinic representative/surgeon was supposed to inform you.
