Been busy with exams, will post an update soon. The hair has begun to grow again, and some of the transplanted that never fell off has grown longer than my normal hair. Still patchy however, so hopefully there's still a lot of growth left.

Looking forward to your pics and update.
Try to get pics before the haircut and after, since both sets of pics will help tell the story.

Not much has changed, I think maybe it has begun to grow. Won't get a haircut until after a year maybe.

It seems that is progressing nicely. It would be nice if you had a before picture that wasn't a shave head for our reference.

Pimples or scabs are the indication that hairs are trying to break through. Do you have an itchy scalp or signs like pimples or red sores?

Head is itchy sometimes, more so around the donor area. I see 1 pimple lmao, but the hairs are growing longer -- the ones that have not shed

Yes the new hairs can grow long and can look a bit funny, like it's body hair!

All you can do is take care of yourself, your diet, don't bang your head on trees like me and know that the 'ugly duckling' period is only for 2-3mths after your grafts mostly fall out.

Now you have pimples, the action and the regrowth has just begun. You have at least 12-15mths of improvement (on average) ahead of you!

It's looking good man. Maybe u should consider getting a short haircut in the back. it will give more focus on the front hair and look thicker than it looks now

A lot of hair has shed, I would say 40-50%? Hopefully some growth soon.

Hey, I got my HT at Maral Clinic in June. I had sweet FA growth for 12 weeks, then it went BOOM. It takes time and patience. Months 2-3 were the hardest because I looked like I did pre HT just a little bit worse because of the presurgery buzzcut and postsurgery shock loss. Then all of sudden it started growing like crazy.

So far looks good. Excited to see how your results turn out dude. But at least for now I see a full head of hair even after the shed. But even before to see your hairline filled in after the surgery.

My only question was about your hairline being permanent for when your older and also about looking "funky.

Otherwise honestly everything looks good and def. Healthy youthful even more

Since your hair is so black, if I was you I would keep the non recipient area trimmed as low as possible (#1 clipper) for the next 2mths since you can keep it tidy like a crew cut until you start to get sores and the hairs start breaking through.
The 'winter months' of no growth will go by quickly as long as you realise that your follicles need to rest 2-4 mths before they pump out a new hair that you can see.

As long as you are able to .look ahead, your patience will be rewarded around month 4 or a bit earlier if you're happy to see the stubble growth in month 3!
