You know what let me try and look semi-decent for this video, because this is a very interesting video and yeah, so hi guys welcome back to my channel. You know what i'm embarrassed. I'M actually embarrassed to like come on here, because i've been missing for like five months: okay um, but i don't want to get into it too deep. You know me, i'm always a busy person, i'm a uni student. I am business owner personal trainer and now a viral tick tock cut anywho. Let'S get into this video, where i explain my whole transplant process and yeah. I hope you enjoyed this video, make sure you like comment and subscribe to my youtube channel and let's get into it baby, so this video is going to be divided into three parts, so the first part will be like explaining why i got my hair transplant. The second part would be like the whole process, the whole procedure of the hair transplant and how much it costs etc. And then the last thing i'll talk about will be about my overall experience, how i felt about the journey and so on and so forth. So um we're going to get into the first part of the video, which is why i did my hair transplant in the first place so um. I have some notes here so i'll be looking down at it. Sometimes so yeah um, my edges, were basically bolding due to excessive gelling and pulling of my hair, especially when i had dreadlocks um yeah, so the whole building process. I begins, i think, began in 2016. I would say um end of 2016, when i was going into sixth form um, i would like grab my hair tie. I would gel my edges and then i would use that hair tie to like sleek my dreadlocks back to make it look like nice and neat, because the sleek eye look was the style then, but it really ruined my edges so that basically just created traction, alopecia And um over time, especially, i noticed this in 2019 um. I just had like a bald spot on the side of my edges, and there was nothing i could do like when i'll fill my edges. It would just feel like skin. In 2019, i started trying like the castor oil method. You know like every single thing, that you can research about growing edges. I have done it on youtube. I will grab the castor oil, the essential oil mix, it put it on my edges, you know what i mean and um. I did that until like mid, like all the way from mid 2019 until um, early 2021 and i'm thinking my edges are still damn bold. Like you, like, i'm seeing transformations on youtube of women, saying that the castor oil is growing their edges and i'm not seeing that like with me, my edges are still bold and that's because my edges were basically just scarred once your edges are scarred. There is no way of hair coming out of that head unless you go to do a surgical procedure and that's what i decided to do so. One of the reasons i decided to do a surgical procedure was that i came across a video by paigey cakey talking about her hair transplant journey and the company she went with, which was long, javita, okay, i saw her whole process and her three-year transformation. I was like wow this. You can really do this for your edges. I just looked at it. I think i came across the video beginning of 2021 um and then i was just like considering it, but i wasn't really take. I wasn't like really like fully invested in it um and then yeah. Once i saw that video like and i took i took out my dreadlocks, i think i took out my dreadlocks um in 2021. Yes, i think i took it took it out october. No, that's a lie. I think i took out my dreadlocks november. It'S been over a year now i think november 2020. Don'T quote me on that? I think it's november 2020 i took out my dreadlocks. Oh once i took out my dreadlocks. I could really see like the areas that were being that were just bold, especially like once i got my natural like 4c hair back, i went to like try all these new hairstyles. I wasn't used to trying for like over 11 years, i'm going to put it up in a high bun, but then like. I would just feel like. I have this bald spot here and i will try and like spray with like the black spray from amazon, which will do the job, but it's like. I was tired of like hiding the fact that i had a bald spot there and you cannotice sometimes like. If you were up close, you would see it and it was like not necessarily a problem for others, but it was a problem for me and that's the reason why why i did it. Some people were like. Oh, it's not even that bad, it's not, but for me for me baby, i did not like it. That'S why i wanted to do it and um yeah. The thing was that it was so easy to hide like people are telling me now, but it doesn't look like. I never saw your boat spotlight. Why did you decide to do it? It was so easy to hide, because i have thick hair like my hair's thick baby, and when i would like i could cover it. I could gel it to like make it look like you know like. If you don't have edges, you know how to work around it like, but i was i was tired. You know what i mean. I was tired. I didn't want to do it anymore, um, so yeah. That'S why i decided to do it now. We'Re on to the second part of the video which is about the process of getting my hair transplant and so on. So i first researched a bunch of hair transplant company on google and also i use youtube as a great tool for me, because i saw a lot of hair transplants. Um that were basically mainly catered to white men and i'm thinking can transplants be for black women. As well, because, obviously i saw paigey cakey, but i wanted to like see someone who had the same type for hair as me, and i came across two predominant predominant hair transplant companies, which was longevita and natural hair transplant which is based in america. So i researched them um i got in consultation with both of them actually and um one of them. The natural hair transplant said that um i had a nose ring at the time and the nose ring was infected and i had the consultation with them. This is a bit weird and they said that oh cause. I have an infection, a keloid, they said, but i did not have a keloid. I don't know what they were chatting about. Maybe they they saw that i was young, so they threw i couldn't afford. So they just let me go but but um yeah, so they were like no. We can't do it because um you, because of your. If you can have an infection on your nose, that means you can have an infection on your head and so on and so forth. So i just i just let that go, and then i did the same with longevita. I then um. I had a consultation with longevita and then i asked him about the nose ring because my nose ring is infected. Can i do and they were like yeah? Of course you can do it that doesn't matter and so on. So i decided to like paid the the deposit they explained like the whole process, how the transplant works and so on. Let me just go back a little bit. Um, the difference between longevita and the natural hair transplant company is that the natural hair transplant company in america is they do a different transplant technique, which i don't like, where they um basically like rip their hair from the back of your head, and then they they Kind of like implant it, and that can like leave like a scar at the back of your head, where else along javita, they do the fue technique, which is when they individually take each hair transplant. Let'S say like 3 000 graft and they individually put it in there, so it doesn't leave you with that scar at the back of your head and your hair can still like grow back. Naturally, and that's why i like, i decided yeah, i'm gon na go with longevita, plus there were loads of like um black women that went to them as well, like representation is so important because i could see myself in them and because they had like loads of Amazing results from black women in particular. I might list them here a few youtubers that you can watch as well, if you're thinking of getting a hair transplant, um yeah and they had amazing results. So i'm like okay, let me let me do this. You only live once, let me go and so on so i paid the deposit of 250 pounds so yeah i paid a deposit of 250 pounds when i was short so now, i'm just going to go through the whole payment, but this might be very different to You, depending on how much how many grafts you you need on your head as well: um and whether you decide to book a hotel with them or not book a hotel with them and transfer as well so yeah with my costs um in total, it costs 1. 370 pounds in total, okay, that included um. They said that i needed 2 500 grafts, but i think i ended up doing 3 000 grass and it cost that cost 1 170 pounds and the five star hotel was 85 pounds per night, um yeah. So i stayed there for two nights: um yeah, so that was the the um price. The private transfer was um 50 pounds. The transfer was nice. I, like the the the car, was really nice and until so that just came up to 1 370 pounds and that's what i paid um and that was all and then i came back to london. I got my hair transplant um on on, like february the 15th um, and then i came back february 16th back to london, so yeah it was quite quick. The process wasn't that bad um, i'm going to like explain the whole process now and like how it works. So the technique they used was the fue transplant technique where they individually take hair from the donor area. Domo, i can't say, dona donut area from the back of your head and they individually implant it at the front of your head and that's what they basically did. This process took about five four to five hours um. It basically started by them in shaving the back of my head right, um, where they're collecting all the transplant and they injected anesthetics into there. I would say the pain of those needles going into my head was phenomenal. It was just a good, solid, 7 out of 10 pain um. That pain was very different. It wasn't, it wasn't like. I would say that was the the only bad part of the procedure. Like i've seen a lot of youtube videos online, that saying, like the pain, was like quite bad for them. But for me i would say it was like a six seven out of ten the pain um and they gave me this pill as well just to like relax me. So perhaps that was why i felt it was like that um. But besides that, after the anesthetics are in, you feel legit no pain at all. You can just hear like the ku noise, when they're taking like the hair transplant from your hair, and then they also inject anesthetics into the front of your hair. Once they begin the process - and this part hurt the most even this part was the worst part when they injected the anesthetic i'll say the pain was like a 7.5 8.. I really felt that one um, but once the anesthetics were in um it was good. I think they did like five to eight injections around my head, um, but yeah after that it was just smooth sailing um. They then gave me like. I came back the next day. They cleaned everything up and then they gave me like a shampoo, um yeah and they also gave me tablets the day. I did my transplant as well, so they gave me like three tablets to take on three different days. Um i'll insert it like here, so you can see like the video or a picture or something um yeah and then the next days when they gave me the shampoo, and they said that i need to use the shampoo like for at least 15 days. And i need to like put it on my hair: wait for 30 minutes rinse it out then come back, put it again, rinse it and then just get on with it. I'M also not supposed to do any exercise for like no exercise at all. They said for like one week or so, and then after one week, you can do like light really light exercise, and this is really this is the worst part about it, because i like being active, i'm a personal trainer. I do a lot of like resisted training and stuff, and it's just a way for me to just stress relief myself so now, like obviously i'm still trying to remain active. But it's really hard, like i'm trying to walk like eat well and stuff like that. But it's like there's only so much i can do, and i just want to stay active because being active is just a way of just living a healthy lifestyle and that's what i'm all about having a healthy lifestyle and being restricted in this way is affecting me Mentally okay um, but i'm fine i'll, be fine. There'S just a few more days, then i can start to do a bit of light exercise here and there um but yeah. They said i should stay off the um bodybuilding training for a month. Oh, i don't know how i'm gon na do that, but i need this hair to grow, so i'm gon na have to sacrifice my body my strength, everything for at least a month. Guys, if you see me in the gym before a month, don't even don't even don't even say anything because i don't know if i cannot go to the gym for a month like that is a very long time. You know what i mean: um yeah. So now we're just going to go on to the third part of the video, which is about like how i felt about the whole procedure, the whole process and so on. So i would say what i would rate longevity's whole process. I would say it was like a solid nine out of ten, let's say: eight slash nine out of ten um. I felt like. Obviously when i got to the place like the service was nice, the hotel. The transfer was nice. When i got there, the medical staff were very nice. I also had the translator um to like translate stuff for me, because the doc all the doctors were turkish, so they didn't understand english. They understood a little tiny bit, but they provided me with a translator which was really good, um and yeah. So the only thing i didn't like um was when my blood test was being taken. The way i felt like these women were dragging me, one was holding my hand hostage. The other one was put in blood thing flowing from there, so that was the only thing i was like: damn honey like calm down, i'm already a bit nervous and now you're. Just checking my blood anyhow um, so yeah you do get a blood test as well. So that's important to know. Um they'll tell you everything you need to know in the consultation. This is not sponsored.
