Pretty much. From what I've been seeing online, at three months you start seing some of the hairs come through, at month five nearly all off what's supposed to show up has come out, all thin and frizzy, and it thickens up for the next few months. It starts looking good at around month seven on most of the successful cases, and matures until a year or even a year and a half. It's tough, and not for everyone. The best thing to do is to catch your hair loss early with antiandrogens. A transplant is a long and hard road.
