I can see baby hairs coming through i think?? has anyone else had growth so soon??

Hard to say if it's new growth, probably it's your existing hair coming back through. Although with the use of minoxidil some dormant hairs may grow again.
Be great if you could ask Sl to add your surgery pictures.
All the best.

Fagin some don €™t subscribe to the healthy diet theory but I would say from my own general life experience to keep doing what you are doing and if the hair growth is faster great. If not you are doing something that I would consider to be very positive.

Personally I prefer sulfur from food as opposed to powdered MSM. Foods like eggs, garlic, fermented cruciferous vegetables etc.

I read a recent headline where increased vitamin intake might increase cancer in the body and I believe that could very well be true. Synthetic forms of vitamins are not what the body works well with and vitamins through food seem to be optimal at least that has been my experience.


You are one step ahead already as when you look in the mirror you seem to be smiling............

Very difficult to tell and as BM says it could well be some baby minox hairs growing back rather than the new transplanted ones. Either way it's all a good thing to have new hairs at this stage.

Hi Fagin

If not sent then your advisor will send you all pre and post op photos so please email her if you didn't get them for any reason and worth checking spam folder also in case went there.

Growth at 7 weeks can happen and I have seen this often even if not the norm but certainly not to be ruled out and all the best for the coming months.

Hi topcat, yes im sure you are right about a healthy diet and even if it dont make your hair grow any faster its still good for you. ill take mt chances with the supplememts at the moment also taking 5000mcg per day. ;)
