Given his experience and results, Dave, who claims his hair regrowth was at the back, not the front, eventually recommends hair transplants to others.
“There is absolutely no reason in today’s society why someone would not seek treatment if they are losing their hair,” says Dave on the hair transplant site. “I feel great about it. I can’t wait for that mane to grow out. All I have to say is be careful ladies. Grow Pres Grow!”
The site shares more about Dave’s specific results, saying, “About two to three weeks after his procedure, individual hairs on the transplanted grafts will grow and then fall out. At about 12-16 weeks, new hairs will grow at the rate of about a quarter to a half inch per month.’
Our two cents: Thanks Dave, for helping to remove the stigma surrounding hair transplants.
