Hello my RS peeps. I’m still very happy with outcome. I have to say though....I could use some fillers as it’s a bit sparse. But waaaayyyy better, then prior to Dr. K fixing my edges. My hairline is a bit off, but that’s minor. I’m hoping to fix it next year and add in hair to the sparse spot. I’m still grateful. It would have cost me a fortune here in the USA. Not sure,

It’s looking really good and very natural!
I’m very happy ! I might need to fill in next year just to make edge loom thinker. I don’t have to use my hair to camouflage my edge :-$
Thank you for your comprehensive review- 3 years later amazing- from where you started !
I’m still happy ! I could easily find so many faults. However, to be able to brush my hair backward...it’s joyous
Pearl what’s up girl I’ve messaged you how have you been I’m glad you did a update
Hey Hey Miaminyce !!! What’s new ?! So good to hear from you.
Hey girl I’m glad you came back years later for an update:) You got some integrity girl. Your hair looks amazing
Hi Pearl, thank you for coming back to us with a 3 year update. From your starting point this looks great. This is really very helpful. Perhaps if he focus on filling in from the front since he treated you. I couldn't find it in this feed, but can you repeat the number of grafts and the costing please?
Hello Ladyldn, I gave it written down somewhere!! It might even be in one of my update. I honestly can’t remember the amount of graft.

One year progress....

I'm sorry for the delay everyone that have inbox me or requested update. I owe this to RS and without many other posts!!!! I'm not sure if I would have gotten on the plane to Turkey alone and restore my edges. I will update later with pictures of the recipient area.

Some RS asked for pictures update. I will add more after my appointment at the salon. I'm still happy but certainly hope hair thicken up and grow.

It keeps getting better and better Pearl....
I'm hopeful :-)
You are doing great my dear:))
Your results look great but you know the hair doesn't grow like it did in our younger years. What does your hair routine look like? You'll really have to baby that scalp and new growth. Are you massaging daily? Using coconut oil? Deep conditioning? Using protective styles so as not to put stress on the hair? Keeping it moisturized? Good regimens on youtube. If you have high porosity hair, think about doing weekly protein treatments. Lastly, to get your hair (and any hair really) to grow faster, drink protein shakes daily.
Hi arcane, thanks for you hair advice! I should be massaging my scalp more frequent :-( but I do use castor oil. I prefer to use coconut oil on my body. I do deep conditioning and made a pledge to retire hair extension that are not protective. I'm even a bit Leary about protective style weave at the moment. You know it! I do high protein but mostly when I'm doing work out :-) all great advice and thanks again !
Your progress is amazing. Thanks for such a detailed review.
Welcome dear !
