Is it on transplanted hair or native hair? Ask the clinic to see what they say.

Apparently the bulbs are normal and just where the hairs have grown through.
So here we are 3 months post, things are starting to happen. There are new hairs appearing where they wasnt any before

Quick question I m going to Florida for a week in a couple of weeks, should I stay out of the sun or just get away with wearing a cap?

All looks normal, a little lingering redness and a few pimples which will subside soon enough.

Slowly but surely things are happening. 3-6 months is the usual average people begin to see growth. Just gotta wait a little longer.
Thanks for the updates.

So 5 months post op and things have started moving.
For contrast here is an image from the day of my surgery:
My hair is loads darker and thicker- I have been very strict in using minoxidil foam morning and night and have been taking Biotin every day. Did anyone else find that their hair got darker and Im also getting a fair few grey hairs! Not worried about that one bit but Im pretty happy so far.
The sides where there are gaps have little hairs coming through and there seems to be more each day so am feeling loads more confident and havent worn a hat now for a couple of weeks.

Question I ve got to the guys that have had surgery- when did the transplanted hair start to look normal and not like well erm pubes? It s thin and curly at the front which I know is norm but just wondered how long everyone took for it to start getting thick and normal in appearance?

Mick,
Early growth can initially look unruly like it has a mind of its own, but you should find as time goes on and the hair matures that it takes on the same characteristics as your native hair. This is something I've experienced with my own ht's - the hair definitely seems to 'calm down' over time.

Sometimes when your hairline is growing in, the thicker hairs show up more until the finer singles grow. The curly hairs are different from patient to patient but in my own experience hey we're sorting themselves out around month 7.
Occasionally I still get the odd couple of hairs that grow in a curly way, then on their next growth cycle they're back to being straight.

Few days short of 6 months, Im really happy but like I think most people say you start to get greedy. When I look back at photos Im over the moon but Im still hopeful it will thicken up some what and fill in the gaps that are still there.
