I am Seeking to have a hair transplant, I am 26 years old and have been suffering from hair loss for 8 years. I have been on Propecia and minoxidil during the years. Unfortunately my hair loss has continued to progress aggressively. I am of half african and Caucasian decent and my hair is curly. I understand that there are certain limitations on having hair transplants before you are 35, however i do not mind having another transplant at a fews years later if it is required.

Answer: Hair Transplant to the crown Since your hair loss has continued to "progress aggressively" as you put, despite taking Propecia and applying minoxidil, it does seem that you have a high risk of having further loss in the crown at the periphery of the transplant site . If you are willing to face the risk of a ring of further hair loss around the transplant site and the possible need for an additional transplant (? years) later, then a hair transplant to your crown is still worth considering. Though it is difficult to fully see your occipital scalp, the donor hair does seem plentiful in your occipital scalp, so I do not believe that is the issue.
