so much drama
So it has been a minute since i have updated anything and the last 16 months on my hair journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns...
so after my procedure with doctor frank, as i have written it has been amazing the hair that finally did grow did take a while but eventually it was there my sides were back i was able to do ponytails and even braids... during the summer i took a trip to new york and being in the land of excess i added that experience to my hair so a wig or hairstyle a week, needless to say the reason i got myself on real self the problems began to happen again.... thats wright my poor hair choices had my hair falling out AGAIN my fault! combs in wigs that were too tight and i guess braids i did not think they were tight but i guess the implanted hair at this stage was still growing through...
By the time the summer had gone, and i was back in london i had considerably loss hair from my temples no ponytails back to the cover up loos wigs it is... but because i have had a taste of my natural hair i was not going down without a fight even if it was me that created this mess once again.....
i was so mad with myself but i was determine to fix this with immediate effect...

back dated updates 3-6 month post opp
its been a long long time, but i honestly thought that my journey was going to be one of the ones that it just doesn't not work, the first 4 pics is 3/4 months post op and, just like most others the hair absolutely does fall out and its left fully bald again.. i was like omg no this will not work.... patients people this is the most difficult park of it, i the mean time i was wearing my lace fronts very loose but i still was covering it up most of the time when i got home it was completely off.
after month 5, there is a significant growth for me, i didn't used creams or hair growth remedies i believe in hindsight i should have used them regain etc...

3 weeks post op
I can't believe time has flown.... There are a few things that I would like to address since the operation
Last week I had my stitches removed and it was pure bliss lol....
The first 2weeks for me was a little uncomfortable with sleeping, I felt the tightness of the stitches and it this is just something that needs to be put up with especially to get a clean result or the donor area would have not been able to heal as well,
thus far I'm really happy my donor are is very clean looking and family and friends alike have all said how it's healing and looking great....
Tbh this was one of my biggest fears, that I would keloid or my scar would be horrendous, touch wood all is wonderful so far...
There is a numbness to my donor area, the only way I could describe the feeling is that of my c-section after it was heald it was sensitive the nerves are out of wack and so I guess it's trying to find its rightful place lol....
But doctor did say that it could last a few weeks or months depending on the person, but nothing dreadful like you cannot touch or style your hair, and I have been doing this
In regards tony grafts I can actually see them sticking out growing, it's quite something the area is itchey I kind of do a patting motion on my head( not the itches weave pat) but gentley with 2 fingers.That eases it slightly, also wetting the area keeping it clean
As for wearing styles out I have got a wig, now I know it seems rediculous but it's far back from the grafts and I got doctors approval as how I was wearing it, the first style was a weave but the hair became heavy on my head and I just really needed hair for when I'm out on the roads not in the house so being removable but still being aware is good
A tip I took all of the combs/clips out of the wig so no pulling popping pins are ok
The first set of pics are 2weeks post then 3weeks as you will see the hair looks fuller 2weeks but as you massage the scabs hair also goes, I also think it looks thicker cause my scabs are dark, maybe that's just me, but you decide but not to fear cause it comes back lol

Provider Review
Doctor john Frank
The man is just great... The only reason why there are some 4* is that I know he has other patients so how could he be at my beck n call all the time but the nurses that was for me was just as beautiful as he was... He always got back to me within the 24hours even when I was in the uk. Payment cause it's expensive lol but you get what you pay for so let me dig deep a reap the rewards 10/10 If your thinking about doing it I'm not even jealous lol He's your man right there... And he's in New York I'm from London didn't know how to amend this
