my way of like you know not being affected by what people thought was not to look at people
what's up guys it is day one post surgery so day three if you think of when i first got the
operation done sorry i'm without a shirt because i decided to wash the three shirts that i brought i
don't feel pain yeah there's been a lot of liquid dripping down here so i've had to change the
the towel a few times um so yeah just bear in mind that you're gonna have to change the tower quite
a few times i am so excited for today because i get to take this thing off my head last night was
the worst night sleep that i had i was the back of my head felt like a big balloon was swollen
and i couldn't really get comfortable so let's go and get this taken off my head because it is itchy
what's up everybody um i've just got back from the clinic didn't really want to film in there
just because i had already filmed so much and i wasn't sure how gruesome it was going to be but
basically they took the beanie off they cleaned it up and then they showed me what i need to do
in the next few days so i'm going to show you they gave me two things the first thing is shampoo
let me move back so you can see my hair first thing is shampoo i spray this on my head
once a day uh and then i wash it out with this which is in portuguese it's called
solus physiologica um sodium fluoride or something like that i don't know
what the the english word is but i spray this for the next 36 hours no for the next yeah 36 hours
every two hours just on the the transplanted part um and yeah let me know what you think
it looks really red and raw but i think that's normal
um i don't have any pain at the top and i've never had pain at the top it got really itchy last night
but that's about it so yeah i'm really happy with it it looks dense and let me show you the back
whoopsie oh no my poor airbnb so the back part can you see that yeah the back part is where it
kind of doesn't hurt but it kind of just feels a little bit a little bit strange at the moment so
i don't actually spray this i just wash this with water so get like a little a little bucket
and wash it when i'm in the shower so yeah it's important that i do this for the next
couple of days i'm meant to be flying on saturday but i might change that fly
and yeah we'll keep you updated let's get one more look one more close-up
it looks sore but i don't feel that sore what's up everybody it is day five um it's friday i had
my surgery on monday and tuesday so i guess it's day three of recovery day four before before i
show you my shampoo routine i just want to say that last night i had a much better sleep than
the night before i didn't wake up the back of my head i've just washed it i've just washed it but
as you can see it's still a little bit red and i think it might take a few more days to
like get rid of the the blood stains and stuff like that because i don't like it still feels
a little bit sensitive at the back uh so i don't want to like scrub it too hard just in case like
something starts bleeding again but as you can see from the top i'm quite happy with how it's going
the scabs the scabs aren't too bad actually um so yeah things things are looking good so far
so i'm going to show you what i need to do i have a shampoo bottle shampoo and then i have the the
spray that everybody uses now i've seen online that different clinics offer tell people to do
different things but this is what my clinic told me to do so they told me to spray this
in leave it for a little bit and then spray it out or clean it with this so that is what i'm
gonna do right now so let's do this i've got the mirror here so i'm looking in the mirror
i know i definitely used way too much then
and now i can't see so yeah i just sprayed that into the parts that uh that need it
and then i'm gonna wait just maybe a minute or so so it's been about a minute and i'm gonna spray it
out with the solution that they gave me um that i spray every hour to keep it hydrated for the first
24 36 hours so just spray spray spray spray spray spray definitely think i use too much of this but
better to be safe than sorry i guess
and that's all that i need to do at this stage what's up guys it is saturday i had my surgery
on monday and tuesday as you know and i'm about to go to the oh where's my bag there's my bag
over there i'm about to go to the airport and i am slightly nervous as you can see um
i do look a little bit different uh than what the other people will look um but i've been watching
a few other videos and like my anxiety has lowered just because like they don't care about
you and why they they are going to have a look because it's different you know it's different
to what you would normally see but uh yeah it's happening it's happening let me show you the back
so you can see it's kind of still a little bit uh a little bit manky let me show you the other side
uh and then tomorrow i'm gonna start you know getting the baby toothbrush and get into the
front to get rid of some of those gaps so let's go to the airport stay with me on the journey
what's up guys welcome to day number five post surgery so i had my operation
on monday and tuesday so let's have a look at the hair first of all let me get a bit closer
so there's lots and lots of scabs now and actually tomorrow is the day that i can start to touch it
so i bought myself a baby toothbrush uh and i'm just gonna like slowly but surely try and
take those scabs off by day 10 these crabs should disappear and then let's have a look at the back
this should be good so i've started using baby shampoo
on the back uh getting a blood in my hand and then scrubbing it on and that seems to have helped this
quite a lot this part is just a little bit sensitive now like it doesn't hurt to touch
so much um but once i put the baby shampoo on it actually hurts quite a lot so um but
like if you take a painkiller then the pain the pain goes but uh the back's not too bad
it's it's just the front that's a bit gross but uh it's okay um as you know i i'm back in rio
de janeiro now so i fly back from um some i fly back from belarus aren't you to rio yesterday
and the flight was okay um i think my way of avoiding embarrassment avoiding shame my way
of like you know not being affected by what people thought was not to look at people so like i love
to watch people like people watching is one of my favorite things to do so it was really hard
to just like you know focus on the one thing ahead like the wall or focus on a shop and just not look
at people because you know sometimes i would look up and the people would be looking at me
it makes sense right look at me like look at me you know it's different it's different from what
people are doing so i was totally fine with that um i was anxious but i think it helped that i went
out for breakfast with my friend earlier that day he kind of was just like oh bugger them like who
are they you don't know them you won't be here the front i wasn't so embarrassed about it was
the back like the back was really red there was some blood stains and things like that so i was
more nervous about the back more than anything um but it was fine and then when i got back to my
apartment here in rio the lift was on a different floor and the guard was talking to me and he kept
looking at it and i was just like stop looking at it i know i'm self-conscious but it's okay so
day five done and dusted tomorrow i can start to wash it and actually i have where is it here it is
i was recommended to buy a baby toothbrush this is a toothbrush for ages three years and plus
i'm not sure how babies brush their teeth i don't know so what i'll do tomorrow is i'll
spray it with shampoo and then i'll slowly um just touch the surface i don't want to get too
into it too soon because um i'm just not sure of what things are doing but i've looked at so many
videos and they all recommend that you can start to wash your hair by the sixth day post-surgery
because apparently the grass are in place now um oh i will say it was i haven't experienced
itch before and it started to itch last night around midnight and i couldn't sleep i was just
i was going crazy and on edge so i have some um i have some antihistamine tablets and this has laura
i'm not sure what it is in english um but this is clarity claritin like i guess like z z attack or
something like zytak or something like that any histamine uh and it stopped the itch like within
half an hour or however however long it takes to kick in so i've been taking this um especially for
the itch because it's really itchy at the moment i just want to like get my fingers and scratch it
um but yeah what's up everybody day six of week one it is monday and yes i'm in the same
t-shirt as day five uh and i may have slept in this t-shirt but oh well it doesn't matter
as you can see from my hair let's get it zoom in i washed it for the first time today
with my toothbrush uh and the reason why i didn't show you is because i was too worried
about like not getting anything wrong not many scabs come off i will say that
maybe they'll come off start to come off a little bit more tomorrow but not too much came off but
i was super super super super super gentle but what i did notice is that the hair is pretty much
in there now let's get right in you can see that it's still still quite scabby so hopefully
by the time you know tuesday wednesday thursday things can start to come down
calm down uh it's still really itchy really really itchy but that's the only thing
that i've noticed just a bit itchy now the back the back is starting to get a bit dry a bit scabby
i've been washing it with baby shampoo for about three days now um so let's take a look at that
can you see this yes you've gone so the back you can notice it's kind of scabby
it still feels very very hard and a little bit sore so that's about it um yeah just really scared
i'm sure you can put a moisturizing cream or something on like that but i just want to let
it heal naturally tomorrow if i have the courage then i will take the camera in and i'll show you
how i wash my hair i'm currently using this little toothbrush to just go through it but um you know
i might use my fingers tomorrow because it just feels really weird it's it's the hair
feels different to what the normal hair feels like like it feels a lot sharper than what the hair on
the top does feel like but yeah that's the end of day six and i'll show you tomorrow day seven you
