Getting my hair "relaxed" next week.

WORTH IT$15,000
I mentioned before about how the different hairdressers I go to have all been shocked to learn that I had a hair transplant, and they always proceed to ask me a million questions and go on and on about how impressed they are and how good they think it looks. Sooo.... the main stylist I go to has been gently encouraging me over the past couple months to take advantage of my new hairline and go for a brand new hairstyle by putting a chemical relaxer in my hair. Basically, it will take out the slight, natural wave that my hair has and give it a straighter, more textured look. I went back and forth with this, but finally decided to go through with it. My appointment is next week. What the heck. Life is short, and at the end of the day if it looks bad, it's just hair - it'll grow. ;)

Wish me luck.

(Someone tell me why I'm more hesitant about putting a relaxer in my hair than I was about the actual hair transplant.... ;) )

Please post a pic when done :-)
Sooooo.... I guess it was "kinda" cool, but definitely wasn't what I expected. I never mastered how to style it during the 4 weeks that it stayed relaxed, so no pictures to show of it looking cool. It was worth a shot, I suppose. :)
Hope u did not do it, it s not good for the hair, i d opt for brazilian relaxing methods instead
Ahhhh! I did it! I went to a really good hairdresser though, so I think I was in good hands. My hair was okay - unfortunately, I just never mastered how to style it, so it was kind of a bust.... :P
I know how it feels to strategically place the hair each morning to gain the most coverage. You don't have to do that any more! The nice thing is, the transplanted hairs are permanent and will never recede. Also, you may have even more growth or thickness over the next few months. I've heard 12 months can be 100%, but other hair docs have said it can take up to 18 months. Did your hair doc say? Congrats!
It does take up to 18 months for some guys to see their full results, but it's my understanding that this varies from person to person. I actually saw results quite early, and feel like I was pretty much at 100% by month 12. But yes - I'm just glad I don't have to worry about the hairline anymore. :)))))
do use Finasteride or Rogain?
I take 1.25mg of Finasteride daily. I've never used Rogaine.

One Year Followup with Dr. Mohebi

I recently had my one year followup with Dr. Mohebi and finally got my progression collage put together. I seriously couldn't be happier with the way everything has turned out. It's even inspired me to grow my hair out longer than I've ever had it before. Gonna see how long I can let it grow before it gets unmanageable and I get antsy. :)

Also, ignore the gray hairs, please. (Hello 30s!)

The photos are as follows:
Top Left: Before
Top Right: 4 Months
Bottom Left: 6 Months
Bottom Right: 12 Months

am not gonna ignore the grey hairs, ... that s the only thing we can criticize on lol, as your results are perfect!! good for you, congrats!!!
Haha. Fineeeee. Look at the grays.

Thanks for the support!
WOW - your hair is beyond amazing. Fantastic results. I know your are happy about your decision to have the procedure. It looks like it was worth the investment. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I am definitely happy with how everything has turned out, for sure. I appreciate the positive feedback.
Wow, your results are fantastic, and you look GREAT! I'm envious of your hair lol Congrats!
Haha. Thank you! I've honestly never been so happy to have a full head of hair... I don't even know if I fully realized how much I missed it until I got it back.
Hey mate, great results. Just wondering if you use minoxidil or proscar? Thanks
Hey Danny. I took 1.25 mg of Finasteride daily for about 15 months. I've recently stopped taking it and am monitoring my hair to see if the medication is something I can go without for the time being.

Incredible results!!! I can't see your grey hair though.

Haha. They're there... Of course they probably seem to be in greater quantity in my mind than they are in reality, I'm sure.

New Photo 10 months post-op

Here's a professional photo I had made showcasing my new hairline, taken approximately 10 months after the procedure. I must say that one of the simple pleasures I've had since getting my hair transplant is being able to run my fingers through my hair without exposing a receding hairline. (It's the little things.... )

Great picture!

Thanks for the support, Eva!

Bro this looks awesome!! I think you really got your money worth!! Also you have a really aesthetic face. You should really consider modeling if you haven't already.
Thanks a bunch man. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. One of the best investments I've ever made. :)
Patrick, 1st of all, I need to say it : I HATE U!! lol kidding of course, I am just wowed!! The results are simply bluffing and incredible... i am so positively jealous . i hope my HT Op with be as successful as yours! I am speechless.

I thin it s good you waiting to be in your 30s to do it but also before you lost all your hair as it help also to camouflage the OP traces and possible marks until the new hairs grow!

If I could get teh results you got already after 6 or 7 montsh post Op I d be heavenly happy.

Thumbs up buddy!

Cheers

Fabrice-Sean
Haha! Don't hate me!

Wishing you the best with your HT. I was very fortunate to grow at the rate that I did. Hoping the same for you. Do you already have a HT scheduled or are you still searching?

On a side note - just passed the one year mark recently, so I'll have new pics to post. I can't believe it's already been a year. :8
