well here we are nine months post fue hair transplant surgery in brazil and i wanted to
start this video off outside in the natural light with my hair styled up like this for
two reasons in particular uh the first one so that you can see my hairline that was created
at the surgery in may 2021 and the second reason which is why i think
a lot of you watch my videos is to see the density level particularly in my hairline
and the rest of the hair transplant for that matter and you can probably see that in the
natural light yeah it's not that great it's a little bit see-through so if you have thin hair
be it blonde brown or black i think my journey can help you manage your expectations about how dense
your hair transplant might look even though we all want a rain forest to be flourishing up there
um it's probably not going to happen unless you have like amazing donor area and your doctor is
able to like get amazing uh results for you yeah but i think managing your expectations about how
dense your hair is going to look um will not lead you to be disappointed in your results
i mean i'm not disappointed in these results i would definitely take this hairline compared to
what i looked like before any day of the week and also another thing that i think contributes to it
looking so thin um outside is the natural light so i'm going to take you inside into a darker space
and we're going to compare what it looks like outside styled up like this in the natural
light where the sun is like shining through even though it's not really sunny today compared to
a darker room where i think we're going to get a little bit of a different perspective on how thick
it actually looks so let's go and check that out i mean seriously look it looks like a completely
different hairline and all i've done is just come inside i've opened a window up slightly behind the
camera and obviously i'm the lights are not on in this room but as you can tell it looks completely
different to what it did outside short not really so i guess what the lesson learned is probably
this hairstyle up like that doesn't work for me at this stage so i think it's time to take a shower
dry my hair and you know put some style into it and i'll see you in just a minute
so i'm back outside because we love it outside um and i'm gonna get up close now just to show you
um how it's been progressing um and i think like as i said earlier the natural light is going to
help um in terms of taking a shower and washing my hair i wash my hair probably every third day
and the reason i do that is because it's better for her hair than washing it every day you don't
need me to tell you that um and also it goes really like fluffy um when i wash it particularly
this area which is on the right side of me this area in particular it goes really fluffy um and
when i get out the shower and the hair and when my hair is wet it's like the best time to try and
style it in my opinion so which is why i dry it and i kind of like use this brush to brush it down
like i've got hair for the first time ever in my life and i like all i've known is like this look
across my face i actually don't really know how to style it um and as we saw earlier the up look just
doesn't work outside at the moment so i'm kind of like waiting for it to get a little bit longer
um to push it across and the only time i've ever had a haircut like for the this
transplanted area and like the top in general was when my mom cut it back i think it was the
three month update i'll take a look and i'll show you what what it was like when she was
cutting my hair but anyway so um yeah still don't really know how to style it but whatever
i'm going to use the brush we're going to get close and i'm going to show you some videos
so that you can compare the progress because if you've had a hair transplant and you're up to
like month three or four you're probably thinking when is my hair gonna grow um a bit just patience
it's a process i'm a month nine and i still want it to be a little bit longer so um yeah just
live with it and go go with the process because it's a long one all right let's do some brushing
and that's what it looks like if i brush it so it looks kind of long at the moment but you
know as you can see if i brush through density levels thin hair i mean it's i like it for the
hair transplant but you know you might not be satisfied if you're looking for a rainforest
maybe you've got more donor hair than i do but my doctor said to me like my hair is quite thin
so i'm kind of even lucky to even get a hair transplant um as you can see i did get the
temples done as well um not really loving them um because if i go back you can see there's like a
gap there right here and the hair is different it feels different so if i were to get another hair
transplant i would definitely fill them out there and let me show you the other side turn around
can you see yep so this is what it looks like and i have to have these long because
if i don't have them long like it's just sticks out and doesn't really sit properly
not loving the temple area but you know it's all part of it i'll show you the donor area again
very happy with how the donor area is coming along um i'm just gonna go up with the brush
it looks thick um and i think all the redness is gone i mean i might be wrong because i don't
really look at it anymore but um we'll see what happens this is what the donut area looked like
immediately after so i'm very happy like look at it today it looks pretty good
how it's been how it looks like right now yeah happy with the donut area
now this is fun it sticks up like that so i need to like brush it down a little
bit oh my god i look ridiculous so yeah
i mean should i wear it like this what do you reckon new hairstyle look you can see it's bobby
and you might also notice that it's a bit curly here as well um normally maybe two or three hours
after i have a shower it's very curly so i don't know if that's a normal thing for hair transplant
um but before my hair was not curly so um yeah it's curly now which is
kind of what's happening and this is kind of what i'm talking about when i talk about um
it going curly i've just walked the dog we went for a bit of a run um it's not too windy outside
but you can tell from like this part that it sticks up a little bit when it when it is windy
um and see how it's like chunking together chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk that's what it
gets like when it goes when it goes curly um after i've sweat a little bit or after i've
you know for a couple of hours um during the day so yeah that's what i look forward to every day
where it goes a little bit chunky um and a little bit curling a little bit staying up
but um yeah and as you can see there like this this hair here looks quite fizzy doesn't it
so yeah that's that's my reality at the moment it's not too bad
so i've received a few questions that i'm going to try and answer right now so the first one is
about numbness and whether you experience numbness i would say that in the front half
of where the hair transplant was done i didn't didn't notice any numbness but i did notice a lot
of numbness in the donor area for about the first month or so particularly after like immediately
the first seven days after it's quite hard um it's quite scabby um and when you touch it it kind of
felt like yeah numb it didn't really feel like anything so um probably in the first month maybe
month and a half um but long-term numbness nothing i can touch everything i can feel everything and i
can touch my hair and i can feel my hair like no problem whatsoever in terms of numbness the next
one is about scalp sensation and whether i feel anything um differently before and after the hair
transplant and in my case no um i can touch the scalp i don't i'm not sensitive at all i'm not
sensitive in the back or anything like that so nothing has changed with me and i feel quite lucky
in that sense because i'm sure there aren't cases where people do slightly feel a little bit um you
know different sensations in their heads but you know i just had full confidence in my doctor to
to give me a pleasing result and you know here it is so the next question is about the color
of my scalp recipient area so you have your donor area in the back which is where they take
the grass from i'm just talking for people who might not understand maybe my family are watching
and the recipient area is where they put the hair so in the recipient area whether the color is any
different or not and i'm just going to come in close and get my trusty little brush um
oh no i'm going to use my fingers it's i think it's a little bit easier um and you can see
i don't know yeah it's white like normal so that's all the um
recipient area and gosh that looks really thin that's what i was going to about um the
um the density before it like it's just not gonna be a rain forest and then if you look at
this was non-transplanted so this was normal hair i think it's pretty similar
what do you reckon let me know in the comments below just fix my hair up there oh terrible okay
that's the thing like i've never had this much hair before i don't actually know how to style
it so this style is literally just because that's how i wore it before so i'm kind of waiting for it
to grow a little bit longer before i can restyle it again if you know what i mean the next question
is about the feeling of the transplanted hair compared to the normal hair and i will say that
the hair the transplanted hair when nine months in it feels a little bit wiry a little bit woolly
um i don't know if you can see that very closely like it just feels it looks a little bit woolly
um whereas like my normal hair just kind of feels like hair i don't really know how to describe it
it's kind of just soft and stuff like that but it's a little bit i would say a little bit tougher
yeah a little bit woolier a little bit stringier um but again i'm hoping i think like from what i
have understood and when i've watched and read and about hair transplants it's not until like month
14 or 15 until um you know the hair transplanted hair has had a chance to grow and be cut again
before um before you start to see your actual results so watch this space i guess this is a
big one the next question are you completely satisfied with your hair transplant and would
i do another one at this stage i like looking at my hair i don't think i need to do another one
get the trusty brush i don't think this area here needs to be um done at this stage so um right now
no i'm probably not gonna get another one am i completely satisfied with my hair transplant yes
um i would say probably 90 satisfied i'm very happy with the front section it's just the
the um the temple area that i'm not very happy with because this this feels really thick if you
look if i pull this back there's an obvious gap here between what's being transplanted
and what was my natural hair so it kind of feels a little bit unnatural both this side and the
other side which i'll show you in a second um but this hair this temple hair that was placed there
is a lot thicker than my natural hair which i am a little bit disappointed in
um and i can't have it short if i have this short the transplanted hair sticks out and
it's like a different color um you probably saw i'll see if i can find a shot of maybe
five or six months my hair transplant from then um and it's really obvious that like the temple areas
are not what i desired um and on this side let me just pull that back
it's not as obvious and maybe i'm just being quite picky but i i notice it um let me get
a little bit closer there so you can see that like there's a lot of gap there and like if i
push that back it's fine-ish fine-ish um but yeah that's probably the only part that i'm not very
happy with the temples but whatever i would say find a doctor that you trust um and go for it i
want to say thank you so much to everybody who has watched and supported my videos yeah if you
haven't already make sure you hit that subscribe button i'm going to do a update every month
um for the next you know until maybe the two-year mark let's see if i um if i'm not too busy
thanks all for watching and i will see you at the 10 month mark catch you later
