Day 371 (1 Year !!!)

Hope everyone is doing fine. It is really shocking how one virus can affect so many things and even changed the way we live. The biggest take away for me is to live life to fullness because you won't know when will be the last... Ok back to progress. I have taken some photos back in June where it hit a year since my surgery and here they are. It definitely changed the landscape of my hair and also my overall look especially from the front. Implanted hair feels less disrupting now and become more natural compared to before. It may sound cheesy but I do feel more confident in front of people...this is by far the best decision I ever made in my life...for real. Not trying to promote anything but now might be even a better time to get transplant as we are spending most of the time at home which create a perfect time to let the hair grow and surprise others with new look after this pandemic is finally over. Just a thought that crossed my mind while I am writing this. I just did another

Day 324 (10+ Months)

So much has happened over the past few months. Hope everyone is safe and coping well with the 'New Norm'. We will get through this together! It's almost 11 months now since my hair transplant procedure back in Jun last year. Was planning to have another PRP session last month but got stuck at home instead. Anyway let's see some photos update.  Hair on the front is growing really well over time, especially the middle front area where most of the healthy hair follicles were planted. It's definitely noticeable now on how long the hair had grown. Transplanted hair seems to be a little bit thicker than original hair around and can be styled just like normal hair. Will need more work on the crown area to balance out the overall hair density. It's a slow process but I am glad it is making progress. Everything's been good so far. I only put on shampoo once in every two to three days ever since announcement of restriction order. Everyone st

Day 248 (8 months)

8 months is definitely the time where people start noticing your hair is getting significantly longer and start to really wonder what you did to it. I had colleagues and friends approaching me asking the same question and this is the time where I feel real proud making that decision 8 months ago. As you can see. the front hair is getting longer now and it kind of cover up the transplant hairline, making it less obvious and present a more natural look.  You can see a noticeable growth in length from side view. I am still figuring out a way to make the crown area look less awkward as the front hair grows longer. Might consider using hair fiber to fill up those empty spaces. I think by next month I will need to get a real hair cut by professional. Kinda nervous since I haven't been to a barber shop for such a long time. Also, I will be having another PRP session next week. Let's see how it goes. Do come back for more updates and leave yo

Day 207 (6.9 months)

Happy New Year folks!!! 2020 is here!!! Feeling excited cause there's lot that I want to share :) First of all, photos. It's approaching 7 months now since my transplant procedure. The transplanted area grows really well...in fact, I can even have 'hairstyle' now which was totally impossible few months back before the transplant. As the transplanted area grows thicker, the crown area looks comparatively 'empty' which lead to my second point: What should I do with the crown area? I did consulted doctor 2 weeks back when I visited clinic for a follow-up session. There are a few options available but I think I will go with 3 or 4 more PRP treatments (doctor suggested once every two months) and then scalp micro pigmentation , which is some kind of hair tattoo. This tattoo will create an illusion of thicker hair density, in a harmless way and will last for 4 to 5 years. This is also the most 'budget' way to achieve bett

Day 172 (5.5 months)

Time flies and end of the year is always packed with non stop activities, events and gatherings. I finally get some time to put up update here :) It's been almost 6 months since my transplant procedure and everything is turning out great so far. Density at the transplanted area increased drastically over the past month. Growth at crown area has been relatively slow compared to transplanted area but it seems promising.  The good news is I managed to direct the front hair as I like but they are still growing upward instead of forward direction. Hope that will change over time. Though I am satisfied with the overall result so far, one thing I would have done differently would be lowering the hairline a little bit more to get a fuller view. Anyway I will visiting clinic for a follow-up session in two more weeks. Probably will do another update around that time. Stay tuned and hope you guys enjoy the last month of 2019! Cheers~

Day 118 after Procedure (4 months!)

It's been almost 4 months now! The biggest difference I experienced compared to 4 months ago is the need to style hair before going out every morning. I finally understand how troublesome it can be...but I very much enjoy the trouble :) Since it's impossible to direct the implanted hair downward, I just style all the hair upward for outing. Hope the next batch of hair will be softer and shape-able like the initial hair.  Actually the most significant change I noticed is the crown area. Haven't seen this much of hair in a while...man they really can grow! I think it's safe to assume at this point that PRP really helps! One thing I learnt from this whole process is 'better late than never'.  Really glad I did it and all I have to do now is just wait for the next miracle to happen.  Thanks for stopping by and see you in my next post! Cheers~ 

Day 102 (3m 1w) after Procedure

Just had my 3rd PRP treatment yesterday and it felt good. Doctor mentioned implanted hairs will eventually fall out after 2 months plus and we will only see fuller hair after 6 to 9 months. Hair looks messy because I tried to style it my way :) Doctor also mentioned the implanted hair might be poking upward at first but will gradually grow in a more natural direction later. Guess we will have to observe on that over time. Will keep this blog active, so do come back for update! Cheers~
