In 2019, I’ve written blog after blog about what you can do to regrow or thicken your hair. That’s all well and good, and it really is helpful, but I have yet to show you results in a real-life results. Well, here I am. As a guy who had extremely thin hair and tried my best to cover it up with products, different hair styles, hats, etc., I can tell you right now that I’m happier than ever with my hair… and here’s how!
I made the move in January of 2019 to see Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth. It took me forever to make the decision. I was nervous, because I was extremely self conscious about my thinning hair. My hair was thinning at the crown of my head, so I couldn’t really see it all the time, and I didn’t really know how bad it was until late last year. I wore hats all the time, used filling products (almost like makeup) to cover up my bald spot, and even shaved my head a few times thinking I was “over it.” I was still so unhappy with my hair, so I did something about it.
I was fully prepared to go in and spend a good chunk of money on the surgery. But the recommendation I was given was to actually not have the hair replacement surgery. Instead, try taking pills for 90 days. These pills include biotin, finasteride, and minoxidil. I was (and still am) very diligent in taking these pills. It’s a once a day thing, and if you miss a day or two on accident it isn’t the end of the world, but in 2019, I think I might have missed five days total.
Again, I was thinning the most on the crown of my head, so I couldn’t really tell if it was working or not. One day after about three months of taking these pills, a friend came up to me and told me that my hair looked darker. I thought it was a bit odd, but didn’t think much of it. The next time I saw a group of friends, literally all of them mentioned my hair and how much darker and healthier it looked. I was still wearing a hat at this point, but I have a little bit longer hair so they could still see it. They told me to take my hat off so they could see it. Reluctantly, I removed my hat and they were amazed. Mind you, I hadn’t looked at the crown of my head in a very long time. I would always get a little upset when I saw how bad it was, and if I don’t look at it, it isn’t that bad, right? Terrible thought process. Anyways, I was happy with their comments, and kept taking the pills.
Fast forward to July. We’re seven months into taking these pills on a daily basis. I went on a fishing trip with my dad and brother (both completely bald), and one of the first things they both asked was if I got a hair transplant. I told them I simply take these pills everyday, and they were both pretty much in shock.
It’s an incredible feeling when you’re so self conscious about something, then at some point excited to show off what you were self conscious about. It’s like when your hard work in the gym starts to show. It’s a great feeling, and I have zero problems fixing my hair and not wearing a hat anymore! Is my hair completely full like Brad Pitt? Absolutely not. But is it way thicker and healthier than it was a year ago? Absolutely. I’m going to continue with these pills, and maybe one day, if I want it to look even fuller and thicker, I may think about the hair transplant. But for now, my hair is so much better than what it was at the beginning of 2019, and I’m no longer self conscious or worried about it!
