    Just seeing your videos RIO P. Well, let me tell you, you're blessed to have your transplants work out for you. I was around 28 when I started my journey and went to a transplant office in Washington, DC where I live. I still had good amount of hair, but was thinning the crown area so I was wearing my hair thick. I got a couple of bank loans for the first two which were not many grafts. Back then, around 1995, 1996, They were beginning to do mega grafts sessions (multiple of thousands of grafts. I know I've had way too many procedures done, like about nine! The surgery scar had widen so much on the back of my head to at least four to six inches wide. Last doctor finally closed the wide stretched surgery scar to a small thin line across back of my head. He even gave me steroids' shots into the scare areas to help the scar not to stretch out again and let me tell you. Hurt like HELL! 🥵 Even the most bald guy should I would think now days, only need about three procedures and maybe another later for fill in. I think I paid about $20K for the grafts I had implanted, and I feel a lot of them didn't even take (grow). I now am gearing for SMP (scalp micropigmentation) and thankfully, there a really good office in Maryland that does really exceptional SMP. I just don't have enough donor hair for any more transplants. They supposed to have been able to grow follicles in the lab by now. But, oh well. 🙁 Also, the more they go in and remove the follicle strip the more donor area is depleted. I didn't know that either.

    • @mistermilkman

    Hey I hope this isn’t too late, but I believe if you going thru the 360 wave process, you will DEFINITELY get a dope curl pattern. I have ur texture hair and I love how I’ve been able to tighten up my curl pattern. The wolfin phase really is when you will get the benefit of wearing the curly blowout and The waves.

  • @BellaBB1
    @BellaBB1 Před rokem +11

    Your hair looks great. A natural way to bring your curls out without chemicals is Aztec healing bentonite clay mixed with apple cider vinegar (or you can use water)… mix in a plastic bowl with a plastic spoon. The consistency should be somewhat loose. Leave it till it’s dry and rinse it out. Do a deep conditioner after. Trust me you will have perfect frizz free curls and this emphasizes and brings out your natural curl pattern. I have curly hair (I’m black) and EVERYBODY who I suggested this too has improved their curl pattern. Can’t do it often tho… maybe once a month. Also the clay is GREAT for your skin. I’m sure you’ll research it… there’s lots of info on it. But again, your hair looks great.

    At this point your hair transplant looks really great. I have done so much research on hair transplants and i normally dont like the results from asli tarcan. But your hair looks really good. If they would of map the donor area better they would get better results. For yall out there thinking about a hairtransplant talk with the doctor about how they map the donor. To have a balanced harvested donor.

You can get around 3000 grafts for 4500 euro that's around 4800 dollar I think. Do alot of research contact the clinics and see if you can talk to the doctor that's doing the procedure so you can tell them what you want because after a couple of months of research it's much easier to explain what you want and youll also understand what is possible and dont have to high expectations

Had to sit upright as he swelled from head to chin and slowly it went down and out . He need to take medication for life to maintain hairline and 6 plasma rich blood injections from his body every 4 weeks to start with then every quarter. He only 23 with thick mane everywhere they took 2500grafts. But I’m glad cap is disappearing and he feels confident in his career in management too. Good luck to you !

    Please, don't use relaxers/texturizers as they will weaken your hair shafts and could cause scarring and chronic inflammation in your scalp follicles.
    Also, be gentle with the sponge and however you decide to use it, try to limit the friction on your scalp.
    I'd advocate for a more "hands-off" hair routine, as far as altering the actual chemistry of your hair goes. Not only will this put less trauma on your hair follicles and shafts, but it'll also allow you some space to stay on course with your medical therapy.
    I recommend keeping your natural texture but using a good conditioner and only detangle (with your fingers first, then with a wide teeth detangling comb) when you have the conditioner on. Then, use a light oil (with or without a cream) to seal in the moisture and a good styling gel to help your hair clump and limit the chances of tangling and breakage. It takes more knowledge but it's a much more rewarding routine long term.
    Good luck 👍🏻
