Sometimes I feel silly as a cis woman finding this so interesting and learning about transitions, but you make things so transparent and I feel my ignorance disappearing every time I see your content. Your hair looks so good ✨💕
I am impressed by you and your story. I wish you every happiness in the world. I’m a mother of five and have had many challenges but your story is very inspiring
Alexis, thank you for covering this topic, as a woman I've had a hair transplant and honestly it feels so taboo for women to talk about our hair line ! I had the strip taken from the back of my head and although I couldn't feel anything it sounded like ripping carpet 😅 I really appreciate this video, thank you
I understand you wanting to have long hair... But this length just suits your face so so beautifully (and you're just gorgeous, so that helps to rock any style 🥰)! But this length gives you very chic and elegant, city-powerful girl vibes... I just love it! 😍😍😍
White is a great color on you! Your hair is coming in so thick, and the technique they used..! I would never guess you'd had anything done. Excellent work!
I’m so amazed at the research you’ve done to do your transition. Keep doing videos I’m sure there plenty who needs who are afraid in the next steps to take glad you are sharing these video’s
I think you look amazing! Your hair looks beautifully thick & natural. (I know what you mean about a vampire hairline. I'm a woman with the same and I hate it. )
First, you are absolutely lovely! Second, it’s so crazy that I got served up your video because I just had my FUE transplant and had the exact experience you described and needed this video so bad for my little soul. You addressed all of the concerns and fears and doubts and sources of sadness and regret that I am experiencing and you gave me hope. I literally don’t think I could’ve asked for a more perfect video for what I need right now as I cope with the journey of my hair transplant, thank you thank you!
My thoughts too. Love it short. Really suits you. You deserve total respect for your honesty. I’m sure you are helping others going through this process. Keep up the good work x
Your hair looks fantastic. Does the HRT help to stabilize your transplanted hair, or do you use additional products to keep the transplanted hair from receedingagain?
OMG your results look amazing and your comments were just what I needed! I'm mtf, 3.5 years into my transition and had my transplant last September, 1500 grafts FUE done in Putney, London. Sadly I walked into a tree 3-days later and lost around 200 grafts... a massive mistake and made a total mess of my head. I've lost part of the hairline on my right side and it's obviously a lot less dense there. Considering a revision if it's still the same in another 4-months (so at 12 months post-surgery). Now at 8 months, I'm getting really impatient with the fluffy fine hair and how it just doesn't blend with my original hair.
Oh bless you! We’ll give it time honestly! My transplant area is still wirey and doesn’t blend with my hair it’s so normal! Hang in there girl, you got this! If you have anymore questions message me on Instagram and I can reply easier xx
Looks amazing, and even without extensions as long as it is now, just looks like a bob thats grown out a bit, so still looks good ^_^ PS: And good look finding any blackcurrant lemsip... not seen any since the pandemic, and I hate lemon >_
I really like your transparency and how sweet and kind person you are. Found your channel accidentally watching shorts, but feel like I will stay for a while x I have one question which I am sooo curious about, will you need a "touch up" in few years?
I have had trichitillomania, hair pulling disorder since I was a child. I would love to have a transplant done to fill in the spots and receding hairline. I just have to make sure I find a way to stop myself from pulling. It's hard to control, because it's not always a conscious decision. I tend to do it when I'm fighting disassociation or when I'm tired... but your hairline looks so beautiful! I hope I can do this one day.
I've watched all your videos but I'm commenting on this one because I've always wanted a hair transplant... Very informative..I must say you look fabulous.. Your hair is very healthy and has such a beautiful flow to it... Your makeup amazing.. Saw the glitter look, you don't give yourself enough credit... I'd let you do mine... Anyways I'm just following your journey as I love your personality and honest opinion on topics and your transition...I hope your having a speedy recovery.. Much love to you and Liam from Pennsylvania USA 💜
I have just seen your short where you were so upset and I felt for you I hope you can take some comfort that 35 of the 40 were ok and know there are always a small proportion of idiots - everywhere......I loved your nails btw. The short made me want to look up your channel. Respect to you and your journey to become the real you, (you look amazing and I think people might be jealous.) wish you luck with everything xxxx
This is off the subject. How do you stay so happy ? Every video I have watched, you glow with happiness. Even the CIS women like you. I have been living since 1981. Had all the bell and whistles and I still to this day I hate life, myself and people who come in contact with me. I don't know why I am like this and can not live my life in peace. Women and men try to be humanly friendly to me but I pushed them back as far as possible. I have been to tons of therapist with no cure. Your very lucky to have a warm personality. If I had to give up my arms, both legs, and be blind to have a personality like yours, I would do it in a heart beat. Were you always this happy before transitioning ?
If I’m honest I wasn’t this happy before transition. I was one numb inside and very deflated a lot! I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling. Have you considered going to your gp for help? There’s no shame in seeking help! And I’m not always happy I promise! I just try to find the positivity in everything xx
Darling, you don't have thinning fine hair!!! I WISH I had the sort of thick and luscious and full bodied kind of hair like yours!!! Omg! My hair is soo thin and so fine (I'm a biological woman) and am only in my early 30's!!! I've always suffered from thin hair and I don't even think I have enough to make a transplant! I so so soo wish I had the thick and luscious hair like yours!! It may be fine in texture, but it is certainly full bodied and plentiful!! My god when you lifted it up it looks amazing hon!! I'm so jealous 🥺🥺🥺👏🏻👏🏻😍😍❤❤❤
I used to be an archaeologist and worked on a site where we had 13.5k burials! Clavicles were not gender defining. The pelvis really was the determining part of the skeleton. You could look at other structures such as the angle of the forehead, males tend to slope backwards from the bridge of the nose and woman’s tend to be more upright but it was not a definitive diagnostic, we had gracile male and robust female remains that you would have misgendered if you didn’t consult the pelvic notch. There was greater physical differences between male and female skeletons in the medieval period due to social, nutritional and environmental factors, in the modern era nutrition and woman’s life styles have meant that the gap has been closing, especially over the last 100 years.
Looks very natural. I’m not sure I would have the patience. I am wig dependent. My male pattern baldness is about 90-95% gone on top from front to upper back from below natural part on each side. So pretty bad. Glad it worked for you.
My temples have receded a little bit and I think it might also make me really happy to just have them filled in. If it’s anything like your results it would be just what I want.
Your hair looks so healthy and full! Also i don't know if its just me who sees it, but you look a bit like Scarlett Johansson. Especially with the bob length hair i can't help but think "Black Widow!"☺ Hope you feel better!
I have consulted with doctors about FFS. They recommended my forehead be pushed forward that will change my hair line. The hair transplant doctor has said to do this before before doing a transplant. The hair transplant doctor said the top of my head is too full to have a transplant, though there is a good amount of thinning. I am concerned lowering my forehead will push the thinning part of my scalp forward, Alexis, do you have experience with FFS and hair transplantation. I would love to get your thoughts on this. Thanks for the great video. ❤
I am scheduled for the procedure at the end of the month. Hate the idea of cutting my hair, but it seems to be so worth it. Thanks Alexis or discussing your experience.
@@Nuumidia Yes!!!! It has been nine days since the procedure. The procedure itself was not bad. Just a long day. The chair was comfortable so it was not so bad. I had pizza for lunch. The aftercare was a little involved. Rinsing with saline solution every half hour for two days after. Then, twice a day with saline solution for two days. Then twice a day for the next month. After that once a day for a month. I wash with baby shampoo. I have some irritation in the donor area. I had medication the first five days and once I was off it, there were about three days of discomfort, but quite tolerable. I took a little Ibuprofen on those days. I am off that now. There is some numbness which I expect will subside in the next 4-6 weeks. It is not a problem. The worst thing is a good amount of hair in the back of your head is shaved to provide donor follicles. My hair was shoulder length and quite thick. They shaved a lot in my case because they needed a lot. They left some longer hair in different places to help cover where they shaved. It is already growing back. I think in two or three months it will look OK. The recipient region is a different story. I am told the existing hair will fall out after about two months and then grows back. That is why you need six months to see results. Everyone says, don't freak out if the hair in the recipient region starts to fall out. I would recommend to anyone having the procedure to take it easy for a week or so. You probably can go to work. If you can work at home, it would be better. I do not work full-time, so it was not a problem. If you have a physical job, you may want to take seven days off to recover. I am told I will not see the full result for six-months to a year. Already, I see a great improvement. I had about 3,500 grafts, which is a lot in one sitting. I think that may be why I have more irritation than on average. But, it really is not that bad. The best part is it is tremendously affirming! I look in the mirror and see the person I feel I really am. It is only going to get better. It is nice to see a feminized hairline. Pick your doctor carefully. You can go outside the US and it will be cheaper. I did it in Serbia with Dr. Abunasser in Belgrade at the Hair and Skin Clinic. He has great credentials. I did a lot of research before the procedure. I am confident I made the right choice. It cost 3,500 Euros. You can go to Turkey where it is cheaper, but there are risks associated with getting a doc who is not that good. In the US, the cost would have been $10,000 or more. I went to an FFS surgeon before deciding on the transplant. He suggested forehead reduction to lower my hair line and then a hair transplant. Dr. Abunasser recommended doing the transplant and after a year consider FFS if I wanted it. I may need some brow reduction, but I am told it is OK to do this even after a hair transplant. I know there are different views about this, but after reading up on it I decided on the transplant first. Honestly, I want to avoid FFS if at all possible. It is important to have patience while transitioning. It takes time. Do not try to do everything quickly. I am almost two years into my transition and have done laser hair removal and just started electrolysis for my beard. I have a lot of grey. At every step I worked though my doubts and took the time to research. With each step it becomes easier to make decisions about what is right for you. After deciding to transition, I can say I am finally a happy person. Thanks for asking. 🙂 ❤

@@Nuumidia My first reply was deleted. Not sure why. Maybe Alexis thought it was too long. Yes, I had the transplant. I am very happy with it. It was FUE. I did it in Serbia with a doctor I trust. It is very affirming and important in my transition. Some discomfort in the recovery, but not too bad. If you have the money, do it. In the US it is much more expensive. Good luck.
Your results are fantastic. I currently have what I would consider a Norwood 2. With all my research, I've decided that 2pass clinic is what's right for me. How did you go about your Journey through 2pass? How did you prepare for travel and stay in Belgium? I live in the US. I'm nervous about getting this process started.
Looking gorgeous. Both my kids have the widow peak hairline. My oldest hates it. She is 19, my youngest she doesn’t like it either but she has a fringe and can hide it. My oldest doesn’t suit a fringe. You look good without the extensions but I can understand why you wear them on your hair journey x
Hello, Could you please advise me surgeon for hair transplant? I want to start HRT, but before I need Hair Transplant...End of this year I want to have the procedure done. I was thinking about Turkey...Which surgeon Do you recommend? Thank you so much
My couisn had a hair transplant in a private clinic in London. She said it was the most traumatic experience of her life 😂 She is overly dramatic so i took what she said with a huge tablespoon of salt.
Hi Alexis! Really love your content, and i'm looking forward to seeing more. My partner is a trans woman as well, and i was wondering if maybe you could talk about some ways to help feel more feminine particularly in the very beginning and during the transition? Also if you have any advice/tips for people who are working on building their courage to begin the transitioning process, and potentially how partners can support? I don't know if that came across confusing, but i'm hoping you get the idea xx
Quick correction male and female are sexes, not genders you can't change your biology. So you might want to change it to "from man to woman" as that's gender and a social construct.
