Bosley may have been a mistake.

The suture site seems to be healing well albeit some sores from maybe some hairs growing through the area causing some sort of in-growns.

April 16 he goes for his first haircut in forever. His hair is so long and curly and thinned in some areas possibly due to shock loss. The main area we have noticed that in is the area he had previously had two transplants, the front. All of his front hair is transplanted hair. Hopefully, it comes back.

Here are some photos of the crown to date

This experience has been stressful and emotionally draining but I have learned a lot and I have found this community.

About 6 weeks until the wedding. I ordered some Toppik for him to try before the wedding to perhaps use at the wedding. If anyone has a better suggestion, I am all for it.

I will post some after haircut photos, his hair always looks better after a haircut. It is so heavy when it is long and curly that it makes it look thinner

Hi JoJo,
Thank you for the updates. It looks normal, actually, and there is nothing I see that shows that there is any impending problems. A tip about the Toppik, when it comes time to experiment try not to use too much so that it looks caked on. The trick is to still allow some scalp to show through as that is what looks natural. Be sure to get a strong hairspray that has a shine to it because Toppik can make the area treated look dull and powdery. You should also order and try Dermatch which is applied directly to the scalp and doesn't need to be sprinkled in.

He's going to get sores in the donor zone off an on for a few months and it is just part of the healing process. When growth starts he'll get some pimples in the recipient area because some of the hairs get trapped and become "ingrown". You can use a hand towel soaked in hot water to relax the tissue then squeeze it out. It doesn't hurt the grafts and frees up the hair.
