Meldesoke, are you still feeling any itchiness or getting any sores on your head from new hairs coming through?

Your hairline looks great and I hope you get some more hairs coming through and the hair getting thicker and straighter.

Hair is getting tall same speed like old hair.
Thickening prosess is slow i don't know why, In month 5&6 it blows up but now new growth is very few.
But I'm satisfied so far.

Thank you for this and tour recent updates, meldesoke. Best wishes up to month 9 as you should see even more density at the front and on top.

For me it took may be 3 weeks but my skin is dark. May be for white skin it may take little more. When hair start grow in the first two to three weeks it will not be much obvious

Take some warm clothes. I went there 1st week in Feb and took 4 days to do the tourist thing and build in some recovery time; and made the mistake of thinking that it would be warmer than home being in the middle east. It was about 3-4C that week.

I will be there mid of January, around 16th Jan.
Can't wait for the HT lol.

I have a fair skin, might be more obvious. I might use hair fibre to cover it so it won't be so obvious. I hope no one will realize i have HT lol.

Just tell people you decided to shave your head. Which is something that will have happened at the time of the HT! :)

don't touch the transplanted area during the first month, just prepare your self in the first 15 days for some silly questions after that no one will recognize hahahah

@Aussie Bee That was exactly what i am planning to do lol..btw, did you exchange your AUD to Euro in Istanbul?any recommended currency exchange?

@meldesoke i am taking 14 days off, hopefully it wont be so obvious when i get back to work lol

Just another bald man,
You're from Sydney too?
I did the exchange mostly at SYD Airport ANZ as there is no fee on the exchange for ANZ customers. I exchanged aud$1500 at the airport kiosk then withdrew the balance at IST at an ATM beside the baggage collection area, still in the secure area.

Betst wishes. When do you go to IST? :)

Best you research the winter weather since you likely will be coming from 35c Sydney summer weather. :)
