I was trying to track down pictures of a transplanted hairline sheared closely, but couldn't find too many on my own, and my requests to see pictures by people who claimed to have done this were ignored. So I buzzed my entire head with a #2 guard on the clippers.


The pics were taken without flash under bathroom light, directly under a ceiling lamp in my bedroom, and a a few shots outside in natural light.

Not too bad, not too bad at all. You look like a Hitler youth!

Yeah that looks pretty good man! How many total grafts did you have and were they all in the front?

looks very good !!!

nice, thanks for these. ive always been interested in how it would look after buzzing it down.

are you planning on going in for more density, or saving those grafts for when you bald in the future?

p.s. nice hairline design!

Thanks for the replies. LULZ at "Hitler Youth".

All of the grafts were place in the first few centimeters of the hairline, so I was expecting a lot more density for 2000 grafts over these three surgeries, although I think a combination of hair characteristics, physiology, and the fact that the first transplant wasn't great influenced what I have to show for my troubles so far.

I know I have more hair loss than most average people think; buzzing down confirmed this. I'm 28 and don't think I'm going to turn full-blown NW7 out of nowhere, but I am keeping future loss in mind. I want to maybe see Feller in the fall and see if FUEing the scar is advisable at this time, maybe a session of 500 grafts total, blasting the the center of my hairline with a few hundred grafts and use the rest to address the scar. That will mean I would have allocated 2500 for the hairline, hoping to have around 5000 left to shoot for a believable balding pattern. This way I can continue to buzz down if hair loss starts occurring more rapidly, and start to develop a master plan that hopefully can involve a few large FUE sessions every few years.

I think I have to approach this with the expectation that the crown will be left bare or thin, and to conserve most grafts for behind the *relatively low* hairline, to the center region, and around the sides of the crown.

Something like this, although preferably more hair around the periphery of the crown:

Sounds like a good plan, and well thought out.

Glad to hear that you're getting good results after not so great priors, as they can be really discouraging to the point where you don't ever want to think of an ht again. ha

If you're thinking of Feller for FUE, why didn't you choose him for the strip?

Do you take some pictures of the scar with your hair this short to share with us?

Looking good, a small FUE procedure in the front (esp. right side).

I also am very curious about the scar in the back with a #2. Please

It looks very natural.

Like HairHope, I'd like to see how the back of your head looks too, if you're happy to post a pic of that as well.
