You still have full 12 months to go for the crown. Advanced growth phase usually starts from 16th month so give your crown a bit more time. Look good for now.

[@amitposthair]

[@SpellJake]

When do you start using dermaroller? And is it safe on the new transplanted hairs?

[@Alex-ky8bw]

The back of the head has less blood circulation than the front and top of the head. That's why your hair in the back is not growing with the same thickness as the hairline. It could honestly take longer for you to see a thicker result in the back because of that.

[@amitposthair]

i agree! gonna be patient!

[@baberpervez]

Just got one from turkey (7075 grafts) three weeks ago and have been watching your journey. I am considering to go back for my second one too after a year since I’m just like you as a Norwood six. Your monthly snapshot journey is great and has put me on a hopeful comfortable expectation of achieving the same. Since you are a brown guy it makes it all more relatable. Thanks and great to see you over the months gain that sense of confidence and joy from it. It definitely shows. All handsome now with the air and getting married too. That is inspiration to all other bald dudes that feel their hair is an important part of who they are. Life is not same living bald versus having a hero look. The world is cruel and can treat your harshly. Proud of your success and popularity for these videos. They certainly are helping me 😅

[@amitposthair]

amazing you got it done! and thanks for following my journey. Im glad i could help in any way. Thank you for the kind words, i truly do feel more confident than ever with my hair and its really been quite the journey. I hope it will be the same for you too in the future!

@@amitposthairthank you kindly Amit! Congrats on wedding! 💒

[@AdamSmith-fe9jf]

Hi Baber, one thing I’m not understanding is if a person’s hair is very less and almost all hair is lost, how can you have sufficient donor hair to cover up missing areas? Donor areas do not regrow, correct? So, in essence you are moving the hair around to cover up the missing areas on crown and hairline. Don’t the donor areas then look thinned out and patchy? Also, someone else asked that do you have to be dependent on finasteride and minoxidil for life after transplant?

[@Malmioo]

Did you try DermMatch instead of fibers? I think your crown will look totally covered and natural. Yea ur does kind of paint the scalp but you do have hairs so it won’t be noticeable. Give it a try. The pros are more than divers, water resistant for example. So instead of go forward to SMP just try it .

[@talhasiddiqui1110]

Amit, after the 18 month mark if your still unhappy go to Turkey and get an SMP treatment around the crown. The crown is tough because the most angles don’t have rows of hair behind them to add density. The SMP will give an illusion of a full crown. Good luck!

Looks great! The fibers cover up whatever areas are still a little thin. Always good to be able to have that extra backup because not everyone can use them. A little hair spray and youll be good to go. Need waterproof in case you swim the dermmatch is also out there. Congrats on your wedding to. 😊

[@amitposthair]

i agree! fibres are really a savior, i've heard of dermmatch too but honestly im fine without it someitmes too. And thank you for the wishes!

[@misterq3906]

Some clinics are against using minoxidil after the HT as they dont want to be reliant on something that will reverse results the moment you stop taking it. Would you agree?

[@amitposthair]

they advise using it on the transplanted area for the first 6 months at least. After that though you should be fine as the hairs will most likely have grown out by then

[@DZWarrior23]

Your hair is looking great! 👍 I am at the 2 month mark, right in the middle of the ugly duckling phase and it absolutely sucks lol. My entire hair line is pretty much gone lol. I’m eagerly waiting for the 6 months mark 😅

[@alimushtaq2589]

I wonder if the crown is just slower for it to grow so maybe it’ll take a couple more months for the crown to fill out.

it is slower in general. takes about 18 months for full coverage

When do you start using dermaroller? And is it safe on the new transplanted hairs? And is there a chance you will get a 3rd transplant or is that it for you? Congrats on getting married!!🎉

[@amitposthair]

i only started using my dermaroller after about 6 months from my transplant. i wanted the hairs to grow out as much as possible first before adding putting any pressure on it with a dermaroller. And im not sure yet, i may wait till the 18th month then plan from there. And thank you for the kind wishes!!

[@zorashki]

I think 1 more round and you are good to go on the crown area imo... that's if you ever wanted to go through a painful surgery again.. if you are happy just let it stay it's not bad anyway.... but ya I think another 3d surgery would cover the whole crown in a good Clinic.

[@AdamSmith-fe9jf]

[@AG-hw4gu]

Congrats on the upcoming wedding! Do you think you had good growth on the 4000 grafts and it’s just that they refer to the crown as a “black hole” and requires much more hair than the frontal region?

[@amitposthair]

thank you!! I think for me personally i had a wide area to cover so having more grafts behind there was ideal. But i heard roughly 1500-2000 grafts is a good amount for the crown. But again, depends on how back your thinning/balding is!

[@DemetryYRVCH]

Nice result bro 👍

[@amitposthair]

thank you!!

[@Chili1976]

appreciate the info, hopefully more growth on crown 🤞 having similar concern… doing dutesteride spray every other day and minoxidil 2.5 pill hoping it helps

[@Re-Destro]

Get a third hair transplant and choose a different clinic I reckon. Use a whole lot of beard grafts, if you have a chest hair, go for that and lastly from the back of your head to keep it minimum there.

[@amitposthair]

ngl it is alot of effort to go for a 3rd transplant. But there are many different options out there now that i could do instead of that. So i'll see what's the best option to get it filled out!

[@GTD1014]

[@aaronbritt1886]

I'm going to try to book a consultation with you as soon as i can. I've had 3 transplants here in the United States at 1000 graphs each time so I kind of know what to expect. I want to go to vera clinic, so I have mostly questions of the journey. I do have just one question though. You said you had about 10,000 graphs. From reading online and doing my own research, The donor area can only have 5 to 6000 graphs extracted total without over harvesting. Are you sure they took that many graphs? Also, I want to get all of this done in one trip. Why wouldn't they do the crown and front on one visit. I know other clinics do.

[@amitposthair]

pls do! you can find the link to book some time with me in the video description, happy to have a conversation with you! They say they took 10k grafts from me, but of course there is no real way to tell. I do believe they took a major amount as my hair looks really thick now. Getting it in 1 trip will depend on the amount you have to do, which you can discuss with the doc on the day!

[@hassanjugoo9444]

Great to see your journey Amit. Whats your opinion on Minoxodil foam vs Serum? Does one absorb much better or less messy greasy?

[@amitposthair]

i prefer the foam as it gets absobed quicker onto the scalp from my own experience! Serums are fine too but to your point, it gets a little greasy sometimes

[@watchme7076]

It will take 18 months to fully grow. Can’t wait to do mine. Maybe PRP might work best

[@user-IgfdlI4l438I]

Question - why do you think your first transplant was so much denser than the 2nd one? Although it is 6000g vs 4000g, I think grafts per coverage is about the same but your front is much denser than the crown

[@amitposthair]

first one was done on my hairline and midscalp which are known to have better blood flow for hair growth. Also i still had some hairs in that area so it probably helped with a little density. For my crown, it was completely empty, and blood flow back there is not as much compared to the front, so im guessing thats why the result isnt the same as the first. Also, a total of 3200 grafts were directly on my scalp while the other 800 was added to my hairline and miscalp, so another reason why it may not seem as dense!

[@rrrunha8991]

Hello Amit you are very honest and I can tell yousame thing here, my crown after 16 months of HT is not even close dense like my frontal part...It looks like thinning crown right now , for some reason crown sucess is not near good as frontal area ....Right now I'm using lot less fibers than before ,and I wonder would SMP be a good choice for crown

[@amitposthair]

at least you're using less now! i think that's still a good thing. Even me i use very less or none at all, which has really help boost my confidence overall

[@HookahDoncic98]

Hey man since it’s also been 2 years since your frontal 1st transplant, did you experience a change in texture in the front? My hair was course and slightly wavy which was a nice density texture, but now 2 years later the hair straightened out and is flat just as my natural fine thin hair is. Wondering if you experienced the same? I really miss the extra thickness in the waviness :(

[@amitposthair]

a little bit! i definately think there was nicer density texture for the first year. As time as gone by i do feel maybe its become slightly less, but only because of how hair cycles work. They will generally fall off and new ones will form, so it'll come back over time.

[@idangazit9533]

thx for your videos! I will suggest you try oral minoxidil 2.5 daily - also reduce the Revita shampoo to 1-2 a week

[@amitposthair]

im not a big fan of oral minoxidil but i have reduced the shampoo usage to around 1-2 times a week now!

[@eladmesh7]

[@SpellJake]

Bro I got my second HT but they keep skipping spots on my head. Also how long did you have skin tightness and discomfort with numbness and did the second time around make the numbness worse in the crown area? I’ve been struggling with that. Thanks

[@amitposthair]

the tightness lasted at least 3 weeks as well as teh numbness. I dont think it was worse the second ime around but it mostly felt the same. it was a little easier to manage though because i knew what to expect. But hang in there, it only lasts for a while and it will subside!

Cool Im thinking to try the combination as its only applied once a day and offering more convenience. Thanks for the advice

[@funky12374]

Do you have any idea why your crown part isn't as successful as your frontal part? I'm about to do my 2nd HT in my crown part soon. Should I lower my expectation?

[@amitposthair]

the blood flow in the scalp area is much lower than the hairline and midscalp, hence it takes a little longer for the crown to grow out. I think its best to manage your expectations. Consider taking from the beard if you want to add more density as that usually helps!

[@baberpervez]

For crowns they recommend not to worry and waiting till the 16 month. Just wait for Amits update and we will all see! Ha. For me they took around 700 grafts from the beard area and put it directly on the crown. I’ll share my snapshots at the 6/12/16 month marks so we can see too

[@HookahDoncic98]

@@baberpervezwhat month are you now? From 12th to 16th month is only 10% grafts left, there’s rest is the hair maturing so probably not a drastic change. I’m at 10.5 months in my crown and probably similar to amit crown. Keep in mind I used 500 beard grafts + 3000 scalp

[@baberpervez]

⁠hey thanks for sharing. I’m almost one month in. So it will be while to see how it looks. You heard it’s just 10% growth during those months of 10-16 for the crown? That sounds awfully low. Let’s see how that goes. Either way it sounds like I’m 2 years I will have to go back to get additional hairs implanted. I’m guessing I could get 3000 extracted.

I have to be honest here and first off have to give you credit for going through with the transplant it’s massive, and the results to me are around 6/10 this is due to the inconsistency with the frontal hairline that 99% of Turkish Hair transplant centers do a botched job. It’s too evident that there is a transplant and the hairline just looks so unnatural. The skill level isn’t there with the best in the business and you get what you pay for. Overall the coverage is good from what you have come from and I hope you get more coverage and growth.

Bro frankly speaking u had great donor area but u chosen wrong clinic for hair transplant, also look like they did grafts cheating, it does not look like 6100 grafts in first session also 4000 grafts are enough for balding crown but they could not give even 20% density.... Choose better clinic next time for another session of hair transplant, May me max 3500 to 4000 grafts(2500 from beard + 1500 scalp) to add more density in hairline, mid scalp and crown area...Good luck and Congrats for ur wedding....
