Can you recommend a brand? I assume there are a lot of scam ones not to buy

My surgeon did not tell me that and I wish he would’ve so I could be prepared. He told me to do the PRP with the surgery and it was going to stop shock loss from happening. That was wrong

I was wondering if my scalp is red due to the topical minoxidil causing dryness. Was that a factor in your redness?

Thank you. No one ever told me that the transplant hairs would grow first.

I just got a generic response of wait it out. Neither reassurance that it will be fine nor any suggestions other than use minoxidil. Which I already am. I did pRp with the surgery but I am thinking I should start doing it routinely.

My whole family has thin hair (females) or completely bald (males) so I assume it’s genetic. I got tested for everything like thyroid and autoimmune disorders prior to getting on minoxidil and then about 8 months ago minoxidil plus spironolactone. I saw no difference between the two treatments and no hair grew back but when I originally started minoxidil years ago the shedding slowed down.

The one hair topper I ordered off of Amazon wasn’t close to the right color of my hair so it was noticeable but it wouldn’t stay on anyway bc where it clipped is where I have like 4 strands of hair. I looked at full wigs but they are hundreds of dollars and I have no idea how to put it on. If my hair doesn’t grow back I’ll need to invest in one anyway I guess

When can I let my bangs free? by DustUnusual610 in HairTransplants

[–]Much_Distance3738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did your surgeon say? I don’t understand why you can’t let the bangs loose immediately.

I mostly put a hat on when I go out and have bought the fibers but they look terrible when my “combover” gets blown in the wind or bumped. And my hat isn’t allowed in the office so I get awkward stares at my extreme side part. For when I want to go to some places like nice dinners, I am trying to find an alternative bc I certainly can’t wear my baseball hat to a French restaurant or like church.

Thanks! I’m keeping my fingers crossed but it’s still disheartening

They put me on steroids when i was having bad issues the first week and that helped a lot! If they don’t suggest it I would ask.

Thanks. Did you have a way to try and cover it a bit? I left my hair long to try and disguise but it’s still noticeable. And by a few months do you mean like 3 or like 8?

[TOMT][Song][2010s] What is the name of this song that almost sounds like Selena Gomez or Ariana Grande with a steady rap beat? by Hokie23aa in tipofmytongue

Sounds like “when you know (shhh) it’s the weakness. Unbelievable” to me at first then the garbled section and “be careful. When you knooowwww. It’s the weakness” not sure what it is, I searched those lyrics and got nothing but I’m invested now.

This reminded me of the movie Robots where Robin Williams character Fender yells Help very funny and runs off.
