Description
I got a hair transplant… and here's everything nobody tells you. Why I decided to do it, what androgenic alopecia (female pattern baldness) actually is, why it took 10 years to get properly diagnosed, how I found a clinic in Turkey that specializes in African American hair, what it actually costs, and the full surgery + healing process — itching, scabbing, sleeping upright, all of it.
