    Sorry for the delay, but I decided to not get a transplant for the time being. I have been using Hair So Real, and so far, so good.

      I might add that I had 2 choices with Anapelli:

      (1) do the strip method for $5,000

      (2) do FUE for $10,000

      The first option was too brutal; the second was too expensive. So, I decided to stick to Hair So Real. I did the math, and it would take me many decades before I spend 10k on this product.

        That's very good of you to come back and update us. I also use a hair concealer for the time being, I use Toppik. But I admit that option is looking dimmer as I lose my hair. It's not looking so good anymore on places where I have a little bit of hair.

        $5k FUT for how many grafts?

          I think he said about 1,300 to 1,500.

            Toppik works best when there is still a fair amount of native or transplanted hair within the area that it is being applied. The charged protein fibers need something to "cling to" as the fibers superficially increase shaft diameter.

            As the amount of exisitng hair decreases, so does the illusionary effects from Toppik. There are other concealers that color the scalp surface.
