Patience

I'm at 6 weeks past my procedure and feeling like life is nearly back to normal. I wear a hat during the day when I'm outside based upon my Doctor's advice. He had suggested 3 month of no direct sun exposure to my scalp.  Up until a week ago the tiny scabs on my head felt odd and crunchy.  I had a little trouble using a comb because the scabs would get caught in the comb.
However, as I've shampooed my hair most of the scabs have come off and my scalp feels normal again.  

The back of my head is getting feeling back. I also felt little tiny hair graphs on my head which felt spiky.  The Doctor explained that these would all fall out and they are. Until recently it had felt rather numb. Not painful- just numb. Do I still feel a sensation around the back of my head in the donor area? Yes. But it's not bothersome at all. And I know it will only feel more normal with time. I also haven't wanted to get a haircut just in case the redness in the back of my head is visible. But I'll look forward to getting a haircut in a week.

I remember my Doctor reminded me that the hardest part of the process was waiting for 6-9 months following the procedure. No growth occurs so one must exercise patience. I look forward to the beginning of Summer to start seeing the return on my investment.

I was bit fearful to use a herbal shampoo first, when I came to know this herbal shampooing treatment for hair loss might have side effects. After using natural shampoo for 3 months it is good to see attention which I didn’t have that much before. I recommend for everyone to have herbal shampoo if your hair has started losing. It is never too late.
