Day 10

September 30, 2004

The grand unveiling!

At work and no hat - some people have commented and says it looks really good but most people have just ignored the fact that I have hair. To be honest, most people probably knew so it's no big surprise!

I know all the hair will fall out but I really think this is the start of the new me!

All the scabs have now gone yet I have a few appearing where my stitches were removed.

Still using the Iodine shampoo but going to change to a baby shampoo and conditioner over the weekend as my hair looks very dull and yucky.

Feel OK in myself and really looking forward to a few months down the line.

Day 11

October 1, 2004

Woke up positive and feeling fine.

Had a long bath and another good scrub. The Iodine shampoo is still making my hair dull and fluffy so I'm keen to go onto normal shampoo pretty sharpish.
Scabs are starting to fall off (and being picked off by me) from where the stitches where - actually very therapeutic having a pick!

Hat hasn't touched my head since yesterday and probably won't again!

Been out a few times now and are much less self conscious - in fact, no-one probably has the faintest idea that I've had a hair transplant as it looks very normal.

Scalp is still numb and slightly itchy but not uncomfortable in the slightest.

Used the Lasercomb again this evening to keep up the growth, heeling and re-growth.

All in all, today was a good day!

Day 12

October 2, 2004

Busy day today as met my dad for the first time since the Op - he was very impressed and said the only difference was that I had more hair and looked slightly sunburnt on top.

I went clubbing on the night which boosted my confidence no end. No one gave me a second look and therefore no one had any idea I had anything done - Used a bit of Bryll hair cream which irradicated the fluffiness.

The unusual thing was I also met my brother who I hadn't seen for ages and all he said was that he couldn't remember the last time he saw me with hair (I usually crop my hair - grade 1 so now it has some length)

What a great day and night...life just gets better.

Day 13

October 3, 2004

Washed my hair in baby shampoo and now off the iodine stuff.

Used the Lasercomb and had a day of hangover recovery.

Hair is still falling out but I am still very positive.

Day 14

October 4, 2004

Not much to report for today - worked hard, relaxed on the evening and slept well.

Hair is almost the way it was pre-op so all in all, completely recovered in 2 weeks!

Day 15

October 5, 2004

Top of head still numb and a bit dry/scaly feeling, scar is still a little tight but not at all uncomfortable.

Used Lasercomb (every other day now) and on the long wait for the hair to start growing back.

Day 16

October 6, 2004

Just a normal day at the office and a normal midweek evening at home...I can't actually believe that just over 2 weeks ago I had 6 hours of surgery!

Went to Tesco's to try and find some baby conditioner to moisturise my scalp. No such thing unfortunately so going to use a mild conditioner after the weekend.

Day 17

October 7, 2004

Had my hair cut today - just a quick tidy up as it had become a bit woolly. Was the centre of attention in the hairdressers as all the stylist wanted to have a look at the results of a good hair transplant...I've become a bit of a celebrity!

Scar is very evident at the back of my head as the haircut was a little too short but not a great issue.

Used the Lasercomb for 15 minutes this evening.

Day 18

October 8, 2004

Popped into Boots to see if they did anything to mask my scar at the back of my head but the pharmacist said it was hardly noticeable and not to bother - Quite reassuring really.

Hair back to pre-op stage now as very little of the transplanted hair is left.

Day 19

October 9, 2004

Went out shopping and then on the evening for a few pints but apart from that all is normal.

Hair is back to the way it was pre-op so still waiting....
