Did Mini Majk have a hair transplant? Yes, and he filmed the whole thing
In October 2021, Mateusz Krzyżanowski, better known online as Mini Majk and a member of the popular Polish YouTube group Ekipa Friza, published a video of his own hair transplant: the consultation, the day of the procedure and his first reaction afterwards. The video quickly drew attention from Polish entertainment media because of how openly he showed the whole process. Here is what he said, where it was reported, and how a hair transplant is actually performed.

I'll have a full head of hair, not like now, because I have receding hairlines everywhere.
What did Mini Majk say about his hair transplant?
As Pudelek.pl reported on 14 October 2021, Mini Majk “recently” (“ostatnio”) joined other Polish creators who decided to have a hair transplant rather than keep waiting for their hairline to change on its own. True to his channel, he filmed the entire process for his YouTube audience: first the consultation, then the day of the procedure itself. Explaining his motivation in the video, he said: “I'll have a full head of hair, not like now, because I have receding hairlines everywhere.”

WhatsAppHe also described the day of the transplant itself: after his head was shaved, the procedure began, and he said it “didn't hurt him at all.” He left the clinic several hours later with a bandaged head, joking about his appearance: “I look like some kind of Papa Smurf.” His fellow Ekipa Friza members, including Friz himself, reacted to the footage, which is part of why the video was picked up by entertainment outlets at all.
That is everything this article relies on: Mini Majk's own video and what Pudelek.pl reported about it. He did not name the clinic or doctor in a way this article repeats, no method beyond “hair transplant” is assumed, and nothing below is a comment on how he looks before or after.
Why documenting the whole process matters
A hair transplant is still often treated online as something to hide rather than show. Mini Majk did the opposite: he filmed the consultation, the shave, the procedure itself and the first hours afterwards, including the parts that were not glamorous, like the bandage and the joke about looking like a cartoon character. That kind of openness from a creator with a large following normalises a routine surgical procedure instead of surrounding it with mystery.

It also shows something surgeons repeat at every consultation: the donor area is shaved first, the result is not visible on day one, and the first thing patients usually see is swelling and small scabs, not hair. None of this is a judgement of his appearance, before or after.

How a hair transplant is done today
A hair transplant moves follicles from a donor area, usually the back and sides of the head, to areas with thinning or receding hair. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the patient is awake and comfortable throughout, and most people leave the clinic the same day.
FUE
- How it works
- Follicles are extracted one by one and implanted individually
- What it affects
- No linear scar, longer session for large areas
DHI
- How it works
- Follicles are implanted directly with a special pen, without pre-made incisions
- What it affects
- Precise angle and density, often chosen for the hairline
Combined DHI+FUE
- How it works
- DHI is used for the hairline, FUE for denser areas behind it
- What it affects
- Balances a natural front edge with overall coverage
Whichever method is used, the transplanted hairs follow the same biological timeline afterwards, which is why results are judged in months, not days.
Who is a good candidate and how to prepare
A good candidate has enough healthy donor hair at the back and sides of the head and realistic expectations about density and timeline. Before the procedure, the clinic checks general health, reviews any blood-thinning medication with the patient, and plans the new hairline together with the patient so the result looks natural rather than drawn in a straight line. Smoking and alcohol are usually paused for a short period before and after the procedure, since they slow healing.
What recovery looks like
In the first 0-10 days, small scabs form and gradually come off as the treated area heals and swelling goes down. Between weeks 2 and 4, many of the transplanted hairs fall out - a normal stage where the hair sheds but the follicle itself stays in place underneath the skin.
New growth typically begins around months 3-4, with density becoming clearly visible by months 6-9. The final result, including the natural hairline and full density, takes shape over 12-18 months, which is why a video filmed on the day of surgery, like Mini Majk's, only shows the very start of the process.
How recovery after a hair transplant usually goes
- 0-10 daysHealing: small scabs form and come off, swelling goes down.
- 2-4 weeksShedding of the transplanted hairs - a normal stage, the follicles stay in place.
- 3-4 monthsNew growth begins, gradually becoming visible.
- 6-9 monthsVisible density: hair becomes thicker, the main contour is visible.
- 12-18 monthsFinal result: full density and a natural hairline take shape.
