These are the key lessons I have learned during my hair loss and hair replacement journey.
Month: January 2021
Preparing for Tomorrow’s Hair Transplant Procedure
I never thought the day would arrive. Today I begin my hair transplant journey. My first focus is adhering to the pre-op instructions and begin packing before the big day.
My Lucky Day
My original FUE hair transplant date was Jan 25, 2021. I was on a waitlist if an opening became available. I was fortunate to accept a new last-minute space on Aug 11, 2020.
Starting my Hair Growth Regimen
After 47 years, I'm finally beginning my hair restoration regimen. This includes Finasteride, Rogaine foam, and I've scheduled my FUT hair transplant surgery for Jan 25, 2021.
Selecting a Hair Loss Clinic and Doctor
Don't overthink choosing your hair restoration doctor. When you know, you know. This is how I decided on Dr. David Josepthitis at The Shapiro Medical Group.
Researching Hair Loss Doctors
Selecting the right hair restoration doctor is the same as finding the right partner. It requires kissing a lot of frogs before you find your prince/princess of doctors. This article shares my approach and where I swiped left or right.
My Hair Loss
The future of my hairline will take on a classic horseshoe pattern - party on the sides and back and nothing on the top. Not the look I was hoping for.
My Hair Loss Story
I wish I was someone who could accept my hair loss and be content with my hairline or shaving my head. But I'm not. I've struggled with my hair loss starting in my 20s and never took action. Now that I'm in my 40s, it's time to take the initiative and be the change I imagine.
