2771 grafts with interesting story... Hairtech

[hairtech]

This is a great story. This woman before transplant wore a wig to cover her hairloss. She was married and to her husband who completely adored her. She never showed him her hairloss. She thought that if he saw her, that he would look at her differently. This couple was the type that if one was to pass away, the other would pass shortly there after. The kind of love we all wish for.

Well she came to us, received a transplant, and even while it was growing in she still wore a wig. Her hair gradually filled in and she finally did shed the wig. When she came back for a follow-up months later, did she finally sit in front of our computer and showed her husband her pre-op pictures. The reason for her hairloss is traction alopecia.

A big difference, how many grafts did it take. Luckily though her hair characteristics would have helped.

2771 grafts... and yes her hair characteristics played an important role.

Why do black women go bald?

Man-ish?

This was from traction alopecia. Traction alopecia is from wearing tightly pulled back hair or heavy braids. There are other conditions that cause hairloss in women though.
