Felix Rowan
Patient & Founder
My hairline started going in my late twenties, and for about ten years I did the things men do: the hats, the shorter cuts, the careful angles in photographs. When I finally looked seriously at a hair transplant, the research was a mess. Clinic pages promised flawless results from stock photos, and forums were full of people who had either been transformed or, so they said, ruined.
What I could not find was the ordinary middle. What actually decides whether you are a good candidate. How they arrive at a graft number, and why the same head gets wildly different quotes. What FUE, DHI and FUT really mean once you strip away the marketing. And the part that surprised me most: the transplanted hair falls out first, and you wait the better part of a year to see the real result.
So Felix Haircare is the guide I needed then, written from my own procedure outward and checked by a hair-restoration doctor for accuracy. I am a patient, not a surgeon. I can tell you what the year was like; the medicine is confirmed by someone qualified to confirm it.
