Hello Ladies,
Thanks so much for your personal messages. I am fine... I have been transitioning from overseas back to the states for some months. I am still LOVING my hair. It has filled in very thick and the texture is coming in curly! It is still the BEST decision I ever made and I would advise anyone who is thinking about it to do it....but definitely do your research on the doctor first. You do not have to go to the most expensive doctor for the best results. If you have been keeping up with my story you will know I went to Thailand and paid about $2,500 and my results came out just as good as some who paid $10,000. In no way am I insinuating anything but you get my point. :) Do your research and go with what works best for you and your budget. The doc I went to was great. The nurses didn't speak a lot of English but they knew the basics. lol :)
Anyway back to this new hair :) It took a while for it to thicken up but when it started it took off. I have calmed down and hardly used any growth aides. I just keep it simple with a cream/ liquid moisturizer and an oil to seal. The less you do to your hair the more you will see it grow. When you first get your transplant I would advise you to not really bother the area...just let it do its thing. I wore lace wigs but I would make sure the hair hairline on the lace wig sat away from my new hairline. Does that make sense? I wouldn't advise you to slick it back or wear it in tight ponytails. Thats all I can think of now. I will be back in a few months with another update. Thanks for the reminder Jill :)

The gap between the transplanted area and my old hair....
Remember in my last post I said something about there is a gap where the transplanted hair meets the older hair. I know this is because of the length difference. I will be happy when it grows out though because I do not like having to slick back the area. But its cool. I am just glad its growing. Also here is how much the hair has grown. HTH someone :)

Thank you for sharing your journey. Something I want to do but scared it'll be a waste of money. I also have lack of edges issues. I'm thinking of going to Turkey though as good reviews. Please do keep up with the photos. It gives inspiration to go for it.

Hi Toneal21,
Your results are great. I would like to go to the doctor you went to in Thailand. Would you be willing to share his information?
I would really appreciate it. I went to his site and uploaded pictures more than 2 weeks ago, but no one has contacted me.
Thanks!

The front is still growing. Its at the "visible" short hair phase now. That means I can see the difference between where the transplanted hair meets the old hair. I have to brush the hair back so it will blend. So as the transplanted hair gets thicker it will blend better without me having to brush it back. I hope? lol. If it doesn't I am still happy with the results. I can wear a puff now so I am glad. I hope that makes sense. In other words its like a bunch of short fuzz balls of hair at the front of my hair and right behind that the hair is longer hair...??? Yeah I may have confused myself , lol. Hopefully you understand. I will try to take a picture of that next update.
