So I hit the 12 month mark and honestly I kept waiting for the moment where I’d stop being impressed and get used to it... but it still catches me off guard sometimes.

I know people say "it changed my life" and I always thought that sounded a bit dramatic, but I kinda get it now. Not because I suddenly became a different person or anything, but because I stopped thinking about my hair completely. That mental space being gone is weirdly freeing.

The craziest part for me is that I genuinely never thought I would have this much hair again. I was hoping for "better". I was hoping maybe I’d stop obsessing over photos, mirrors, bright lights, windy days etc. I never expected I’d be able to actually grow it out and wear it longer. Like… that wasn't even in my expectations lol.

I still remember before surgery spending hours on this subreddit zooming into other people’s hairlines trying to convince myself I wasn’t making a mistake. I was worried I’d end up looking "transplanted" or unnatural. Turns out I massively underestimated what a good result can look like.

I had a moment recently where I looked in the mirror after getting out of the shower and thought: "wait… this is actually my hair." Sounds stupid written out hahah but yeah.

Obviously everyone is different and results vary, not trying to convince anyone here. Just sharing because if you had told me 12 months ago I’d have this hair and be growing it longer, I honestly wouldn't have believed you.

Still kinda surreal tbh.
