I'm on the plane ride home from my HT surgery at Heva clinic right now as I write this comment and I came across your video. I hope that one year from now I have results as good as you! Thanks for sharing!
I hope so, too!!!!! Get home safely and I pray you recover quickly and easily. Congrats on getting yours done!
You should make a video! I’m researching and planning to do mine next June.
How’s it going?
Heyyy!!! Your results look really great to me boo!!! Congrats on being brave too🎉🎉
Ah, thank you, sis!!! Mwah xxxxxx
Hey - thanks for posting again. Hope your doing well 🙂
Thank you, my love. Yes, overall I'm ok, thank you. Will be posting some health news soon. Hope you're OK too xxxx
I am so happy for you and your results! You inspired me to go to Heva. It was scary at first travelling alone from Canada but your videos.. your videos helped me a great deal! I am 5weeks post and in the ugly duckling phase.. my donor area also has some patches but I’m optimistic it would all grow back. Post op said it would.. I’m also starting PRP in 3weeks so hopefully that all helps. I stalked your channel everyday from March 30 lol.. Thank you once again babes and I pray for continued growth for you. Amen
Thank you so much, Angela! I'm so pleased to hear they've helped! Aw- I pray your full recovery and hair growth goes well!! Oh wow- I hope the PRP isn't too painful for you! The thought of PRP scares me tbh as I think it's much easier getting it done on the day of the transplant due to our heads already being numb! Thank you, sis, Amen- and same for you also xxx 🙏🏽🙏🏽
My procedure is May 9th with Heva. So excited.
I just reached out to Heva tonight through your referral my sista and hoping for the best. 😎✊🏾
Ah, hope it all goes well for you!!!
@@TheWellnessAbbey I'm confident it will and thanks to you.
thank you thank you THANK YOU!! I was going to get braids at 9 months, and was going to do far tighter.
You're welcome, my love! Pls don't do braids on your recipient area- I personally lost A LOT of strands- about 20 with the white bulb, so I'm only praying those are just natural shedding vs me pulling them out unknowingly due to braiding thay area. It's best not to risk it at all in my opinion. I won't be braiding my recipient area again...
Congratulations on the one year mark! I am about 3 months away from one year. Do you have the brands of the supplements you use?
Thank you! They're all supermarket branded- supermaker own brand (I buy mine from Asda in the UK). In future, I'll look at buying 'cleaner' supplements as regular store ones tend to have a lot of fillers in them which isn't great.
Your results look AMAZING!!! I’m a little less under 3 months away from my 1 year mark
Thank you, sis. I'm so grateful for my results!! Willing you be doing an update?
@@TheWellnessAbbey I posted my 9 month update today and probably won’t post another until I reach the 12 month mark. So far, I’m loving my results!!!
@@SnookieBaby I'll check it out!
I go to turkey tomorrow for 2 week vacation and having my transplant on May 9th at Heva. So excited.
Ah, hope it goes well!!!!
@@TheWellnessAbbey it went well. 3.5 weeks in and it’s great. I stayed documenting it on TikTok.
@@simplyevette1303 aw, congrats!!! Only upwards from here!
Do you have a wash and moisturizing routine? Like the products, the steps, and how often you do these things?
I don't have a routine, no 🙈 I'm not consistent with moisturising my hair at set intervals, but aim to do it twice a week. My plan moving forward is to wash my hair every 2 weeks.
Thank you
You're welcome!
Your results look amazing. Just out of curiosity what happened to the grey hairs they transplanted in the recipient area did they fall out or they are still there?
Thank you!!! It's a really good question. I've cut some of them off/short, some of them I've noticed are only grey at the ends/tips now meaning as the hair grows the root is black (which matches what we read about transplants- that the grey hairs are only a temporary thing)- so I've ended up trimming the grey ends off, and I think some have shed and so are/will be growing back black. So all in all, you probably won't end up with as many greys as you think you would as some do grow back black later down the line.
are you able to make a quick video about the products you use post wash-shampoo-days or during the week, because your hair grow so fast!
Heya! Sure but I don't want to get your hopes up- I only have 6 hair products in total (including shampoos etc.), so there's not much to it, lol. For me, vitamins and reducing manipulation are key. Upload within the next couple of weeks 👍🏽
sorry for the long wait- I'll be uploading this video tomorrow!
Did the clinic recommend that you have PRP treatments after your hair transplant to improve the growth? You look great btw!
Thank you, Stephanie! No, they didn't mention it to me specifically, but another patient asked about it if I remember correctly while we were all sitting in the reception area, and the lady mentioned some people come back to have it done 👍🏽
Thank you for the 1 year update and what a wonderful hair growth journey my sista. 🙂 Are you planning to go back to Turkey for a touch up? Did you use your cellphone or you have special equipment to do these RUclips videos?
You're welcome, and thank you for the supporting kind words! No, I never want to put myself through the transplant experience again to be honest, lol. I did it with the mindset of I doing this only once in my lifetime. If something happens to my recipient area, I'll just have to live and deal with it. I use an I phone to film and imovie to edit 👍🏽
@TheWellnessAbbey my recipient area fell out after 4 years please do prp now to maintain your hairline, u have to do it once or twice a year to maintain. I wish someone told me this bc I never wanted another transplant either but I may end up doing it. I'm getting prp now hoping the hair will come back but it should be done for maintenance
Thanks for sharing this info, Angela! I'll definitely read up about this! Very useful.
@angelacharles7629 Angela, may I also ask- do you think there were any contributing factors to your recipient area falling out 4 years after your transplant e.g. any health issues, hormone imbalances, tight hairstyles, inexperience of the surgeons who did your transplant etc. or do you feel you did everything by the book and they still fell out? Thanks
@TheWellnessAbbey I never got my hair done professionally I always did it myself. I wore headband wigs, Jumbo twists, and flat twists with my real hair. I am on Mirena since 2020 and I used to have subclinical hypothyroidism meaning my thyroid hormones were almost borderline and I never needed medication in fact my endocrinologist told me to not come back 🙃 unless it gets worse and I still had edges. When I did crochet hair styles I leave my edges out and slick it down with gel. I did my transplant at Natural Hair Transplant, if u type that in with Angela u will see my surgery and 1yr results on RUclips. I paid 8k and did it in Bethesda Maryland in August 2020. He told me prp was optional. I was never told that my hair may recede overtime. I feel I did everything correctly then I looked at past pictures and realized the density has decreased dramatically. I did some research and I saw over time ppl get a second transplant bc their density decreased as well. The only treatment that seemed to help some ppl maintain hair is injecting their plasma directly in the grafts once or twice a year for maintenance. My scalp isn't bald the density is dramatically decreased but I can still walk outside without a wig and not feel ugly, it's like peach fuzz. I did prp in April and may and I'm going to do it next month to jump start the growth bc I really don't want another transplant bc it's painful and my hair on my scalp is low density naturally. I am not trying to annoy anyone but I was so upset with what happened to me so I went on black women pages on RUclips and tried to tell ppl to get prp once or twice a year in advance so in 4 years ur not like me. I wish someone would have told me that this wasn't 100% permanent.
Your hair looks amazing! I’m going through the shock loss right now and it has shed so much 😢. Did you go through the ugly duckling phase as well?
Thank you! That's normal- try not to worry about it. Yes, I feel like I did. Check out my other videos- I looked worse for wear in many/most of them IMO.
really nice results, if I may ask, how much did you pay?
Thank you! $2600 for what was their gold package at the time (I believe they've updated their packages since then)
Giiiiiiiirl, you are so pretty and could definitely rock a twa...😍 Now that your hair has grown back, have you ever considered locs?
Ah, thank you, hun xxxxx I literally was considering installing locs again over the past few days! It's funny you mention that! I don't think I will because the thought of re-twisting my recipient area over time / over years upon years raises concerns for me (and i don'tthink free-form locs are for me), but let's see- we never know. I do kinda miss locs, but I also balance the fact that my husband prefers me with loose natural hair and that's also a very important consideration for me personally.
Did you have more PRP treatments after the procedure once you were home over the last year?
No hun, just the one of the day of the surgery itself 👍🏼
Did a doctor or technician do your injecting of hair follicles into the transplant area? Is there a price package difference between the doctor and technician or no? Ty
Hey. The female technicians did the graft removal, numbing, injecting of follicles, and prp. A man- I believe Dr Evren- made my incisions. Dr Seda drew my hairline and came into my room throughout the day to check up on what the technicians were doing and instruct them. At the time I had mine done there weren't different packages/prices, but they have created different ones now, yes.
@@TheWellnessAbbey thank you so much for taking time to answer my ad other questions. You've helped so many with your hair journey like myself and God bless you my sista. 😎✊🏾
You're welcome!!! God bless you too, bro. Hope your transplant journey goes well!
@@TheWellnessAbbey I will keep you posted (July) my sista.
Hello, did you put wigs on on the first 4 months? To go to work? Or did you leave it alone? I’m wondering if I can at least put something on my head at least for the first few months… Thanks a lot
Hey. I didnt personally but many other people have and do. I just left my head alone or covered it with a scarf if I needed to go out. I only wore wigs on special occasions. Apart from that it was headscarves for me but most days I was at home anyway, so had my head uncovered.
@@TheWellnessAbbey ah yes… unfortunately I have to go to work 😅 thanks for your answer
I did, 4 weeks after. I put silk on the inside of the wig, a tip I got from Andrea Marie’s channel. 7 months in and my hair is thriving.
Hey sista...how many injections each did you have in your donor and transplant area? Ty
Heya, I'm not sure as it's nearly impossible to count them as they're doing it due to the pain and you (slowly) becoming numb while they're injecting you (I did try but lost count, plus the injected me more in the afternoon and later on during the day).
I may be sending my deposit to Heva.
All the best with your transplant journey! Let me know how you get on 👍🏽
Can this be done I have locs?
It's best if you ask the clinic you're considering doing it with, Alicia, but I'm pretty sure they'd say yes (they'd have to shave hair from what would be your donor area though, so they can transfer those follicles to the front- so some of your locs would have to be shaved off... I'm also pretty sure they'd advise against continuing with locs going forward since they create tension on the hair follicles).
How much did you pay I plan on going to Turkey at Longevita
I personally paid $2600. They have different packages and prices though. Yeah, longevita was my second choice.
@@TheWellnessAbbey why didn’t you chose Longevita ?
I explain it in this video ruclips.net/video/V07PhsJm0kg/видео.html
Hi I have a reservation with Heva clinic for October. They have me in the Radisson Blu hotel did you go to the same hotel.
Hey, No, I stayed in the Burgu Arjaan by Rotana hotel- here's how it looked ruclips.net/video/v1da8YRNMsY/видео.htmlsi=6TpFi9My2FOV-BkN
Hey! They had my husband, myself and many others to stay at the Radisson blu hotel but brought us to the Arjaan hotel! They gave each of us a different excuse why they didn’t bring us there. They also increased my husbands price last minute. Make sure you keep screen shots of everything! They tend to lie a lot
Can you explain this in more detail, please? Thank you xx
@@TheWellnessAbbey We had our transplant with Heva clinic this month and the agreed price via WhatsApp was different when they sent my husband his confirmation email! He had to ask for a new sales coordinator to proceed with the agreed price because the old coordinator basically said it was up to him to proceed or not! We also noticed they changed the hotel last minute to the Arjaan hotel and said it would be a suite! When we asked why they changed hotel they said they were “under construction”. When checking into the hotel, Heva booked a standard room and NOT the suite they had promised! We would have to pay extra to stay in the suite which we declined! We met another couple who stated they were to stay at the Radisson blu also but was transported to the Arjaan hotel without even letting them know about the change. They were told they had to change their reservation because of an “event” being held there. The Arjaan hotel though seems to be a surgery hotel as we saw many others with hair transplants, nose jobs and bbl’s which made it less awkward walking around the hotel. The staff at the Heva clinic were fine, just didn’t like how they lied about the pricing and the hotel they advertised we would stay at.
Oh wow. VERY interesting!!! Thanks for explaining. I'm quite surprised to be honest, as when I did mine the whole experience was more or less seamless. I'm sure others would find your comment useful- thanks for explaining!
I am very interested having hair transplant with prp treatment. I have the same hair textured you had before you did the hair transplant. Heva ask for photos did you do it through WhatsApp.
Hey, Margaret. Yes, I sent them photos via WhatsApp, and if you want to have a video consultation with them via the app, I think you can just ask for it.
Sorry I missed your comment, Margaret. Yes, I did all the communication prior to the surgery via WhatsApp.
Not sure if it’s just me but every HEVA clinic hairline is so sharp and unnatural. I initially booked with them but after observing this even with their female clients I’m not sure I’ll follow through.
Do you think the doctor drew your hairline natural or that was your choice ?
Definitely do what you feel most comfortable with, sis. Go with your gut. The hairline they gave me is my natural one 😅 they literally drew over the FEW baby hairs I had left, so I could see they followed my natural hairline. Bear in mind that what may make it look unnatural is that we usually have baby hairs (i.e. finer and more sparse) hairs where they draw the line- not dense hairs like a hair transplant will make your hairline become.
You can tell them to amend the hairline they draw for you if you don't like it for whatever reason though- e.g. check out this sister's video- ruclips.net/video/FmDN9iC6DuA/видео.htmlsi=dL5Xri-O9NIU-1_r
Okay, thank you. It’s just hard cause they’re not a lot of black women who post their results from Heva to compare. I’ll check out her video.
I just don’t want to go all the way and they draw on a hairline that I won’t like later on.
Thank you for the response.
@janea8093 I understand. It's good your doing your research. Wherever you go, ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF- if you don't feel happy with what they're doing, speak up- don't sit there in silence. You're paying too much money to not be happy with the result. Defo speak up if you want them to change the hairline no matter what clinic you go to 👍🏽
