Felix Haircare
How hair transplants actually work: the difference between FUE, DHI and FUT, who they suit, and the year-long wait for the result to grow in.
A hair transplant, from the day of surgery to the result a year on.

Editorial Policy

Last revised: June 20, 2026

Every article on Felix Haircare is written to be plain, specific and honest about hair restoration. This page explains how it is made and how we keep it reliable.

Who writes it

The words are mine, Felix Rowan. I am an FUE patient and the founder of this site, not a clinician. My job is to describe what the process is actually like, from choosing a technique to the long wait for the transplanted hair to grow back, and to translate the clinical detail into language a nervous first-timer can follow.

Who reviews it

The medicine is reviewed by Dr Omar Haddad (MBBS, ABHRS), a hair-restoration surgeon. Anything clinical passes his check before it is published: how candidacy and the Norwood scale work, how graft numbers and density are estimated, the differences between FUE, DHI and FUT, the growth timeline, the risks, and the role of medicines such as finasteride and minoxidil. If the surgery is described, a surgeon has confirmed it is described correctly.

How we handle figures and sources

  • Graft counts, density figures and timelines are given as ranges, written “X to Y”, because real results vary by person and by pattern of loss.
  • We lean on independent authorities and peer-reviewed literature rather than clinic marketing. Our Resources page lists the bodies we trust.
  • We do not lift before-and-after claims from clinics, and we do not present a single patient’s outcome as the outcome you should expect.
  • Where practice is genuinely uncertain or still debated, we say so rather than pretending there is one clean answer.

Dates and transparency

Policy pages carry a “Last updated” date. Where an article states when it was published and last reviewed, that is so you can judge how current it is. Hair-restoration technique moves, and dated content lets you see whether what you are reading has kept up.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, tell me. Reach me through the Contact page. Genuine errors of fact are corrected promptly, and where a correction is significant we note that the article has been changed. I would far rather fix a mistake than defend it.
