HUSH HAIR- 2nd TRANSPLANT UPDATE
WORTH IT$14,000
Hello all,
I had my 2nd hair transplant with Diep on April 25, 2017. I decided to have a bit more of my NAPE filled in along with what had already been placed there from the first procedure. I am now able to style my hair FREELY but may be doing a 2nd BIG CHOP soon due to all the different lengths and to keep tension off my hair for a WHILE so it can all grow out. *SORRY FOR THAT RAMBLE* Anyway dear, I will be uploading a video about the procedure and all the videos/pics I have done since my 1st procedure in December 2014. I will cover ALL the questions so you don't have any worries in if you select this surgeon. I am slow with posting FOR NOW due to other health reasons but I will be online more often for the next couple months.
See this link for a YouTube hair update. Editing software sucks as I learn the ropes. LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt2KlOS1Opg&t=8s

Overall hair update.
Figured I would share my OTHER hair length and how it lays when blow dried or flat ironed. I'm 6.5 months post op. My hair won't and isn't laying flat due to the incision site hair is about 3 inches and I didn't flat iron that; so, it's puffy/puffy. I have cut my length so it's easier to maintain with the hair growing in. In late summer, I'll be 4 years natural.
My recipient area is doing well. Haven't been looking or paying attention to it besides oiling it (emu or castor) and women's 5% Rogaine application which I do every other day.

Your hair won't lay flat ?

No because the hair that was shaved near my incision is growing out so it's short and I didn't straighten it. Preventing the longer hair from laying flat over it. This will change as the short hair grows out and gets longer.

Month 6 and anxiety.
I am struggling with anxiety. I keep telling myself that a growth spurt doesn't occur until month 6-9 and that my full results take until month 14-18. I'm scared I won't be able to wear my hair up in a puff/bun. BUT I follow bettermeuk and steph87 (type names in search bar) and see their progress spurted between month 6-10!! So I'm very hopeful, the waiting game is kicking my behind! I have very little patience. Lol. Results vary from person to person. I'm certain my results will get better but waiting seems like forever!!

Hey I just read ur review. Your hair will grow just try to be patient (I know it's easier said than done) but you will get there. When I was at month 6 I was still worrying the procedure failed. I saw a big difference from month 10. I went back for 2nd procedure in March for more density and scar revision. Hang in there. Your hair looks great so far. Have you tried hair vitamins? Manetabolism has really worked for me.

Hey!!! Thanks for reading and responding to my review!! I've always used The Mane choice vitamins but just started using them again this month. With your first transplant, were you able to brush it up and back without it looking spotty/thin by month 12? Or was the second procedure needed for that? I'm just trying to prepare just in case I need another surgery. Lol like you felt I'm still worrying if it failed but I'm trying to remain hopeful!

Yeah by the 12th month I was able to brush it back but I felt it was not completely filled in and I had patches especially on my right side. However I had over 4000 grafts spread out on my sides and front of my hair and that's probably why the density was not even. On the 2nd procedure Dr Diep mainly filled in the right side. I had 2,400 grafts second procedure. You can never tell whether you need another surgery until you reach a year as the new hair is still growing. But your hair on month 6 looks really good. At least you can brush it back which I was not able to do at that point :)

Sorry for just getting back, I had homework lol. I can totally relate to what you're saying. I'm worried I will only get length now and no more density. I will totally wait until my 1 year mark to make a decision on if I need another procedure. Did Diep shave the entire area again when he did your 232nd procedure? You gonna post pics?

We understand you! MY problem is kind of similar to yours and when i shaved my hair I discovered I had inflammations on my scalp due to seborrheic dermatitis.. praise the most high Im healed. But I discovered that those inflammations lead to dead follicles... I did alot of invigorating oils such as oregano oil, peppermint, tea tree, ginger, rosemary, eucalyptus and I BOUGHT African shea butter.. run it in my baldy EVERYDAY 2-3 times a day for 2 yrs straight consistently and I'm good now.. having our nappy long thick density we get distracted by our length and beauty but we don't notice what can be in our scalp because we don't take time to examine it. Try to make sure your scalp is free from inflammations. I BOUGHT THE oils from piping rock.com great cheap price and great quality!
