Well that's an interesting idea - i do think that excessive dyeing can lead to tempoary hairloss, but i haven't heard about bleaching destroying miniturising hairs.

Anyway, i am not seeing more hairs in the sink than usual

Mike,
it looks good and i know that it would be very hard for someone with thin hair to pull of the spiked look. so you being able to pull it off speaks volume, no pun intended. however i bet your hair would look really good and even better laid flat something like a ceaser style and spike the front only. have you tried that one? i'd love to see your pics with no spiking just for comparison reasons.
overall looks pretty good to me.

I think the look is excellent! Question (on topic); Can bleaching damage transplanted hairs?

That does look great, but I am wondering about that scar. It looks about 1cm wide, is that correct? And does the scar stay that wide all the way around your head or did it stretch just in one spot that you show?

ya mike, wow, those results look great, they really do. if you use that hair butter or putty stuff and style it certain ways you would have no idea that your frontal region is thinner.

I am 22 as well and have a massive issue with my side burn/temple areas. for whatever reason, Ive lost huge amounts on one side of my head, and the other is quickly following suit.

You are one of the few people that i have came across that have had the sideburn transplant and i have a few questions...

The doctor that looked at my situation wasn't too keen on soing my side burns becuase he claimed that the conflict between the two hair thickness (side burn as opposed to the donor) is usualy alot different.

Also mike, how are your sideburns and temples growing now? are they growing out in a weird direction or are they coming out fairly smooth (do you have porcupine spikey looking hairs growing out the side of your head...if you know what i mean)
thanks!

Sorry for the long wait everyone...

skippy: I really don't see much difference - they look very natural, albeit a bit thin(though less thin than before). The only difference is on the left side where there is a slight difference in color.

They are growing just like normal hair would, thanks to dr. devroye and his team.

General update for everyone: in about 2 weeks i have a year post op, time has gone much faster this time than the last.

I have previously expressed concern over the density at my hairline, and unfortunately the past 4 months have not yielded significant growth. But i knew this already..

Luckily, i'm a persistent guy and i am already in conversation with dr. devroye and dr. mohmand about a 3rd procedure for about 1200-1500 to the hairline.

I might, if the time is right, use the opportunity to hit the crown as well, which has not received any grafts yet at all. Perhaps around 1000.

The last part however will need careful consideration though, given my age. It might not even be possible due to a rather large donor scar.

In either case, i am satisfied with the result so far to the extend that i can go amongst other people without wearing a hat - and thats saying something.
... i'll post some pictures soon..
