Shaved down to a #2-clip!?!

Added Consult pics (my picture skills have gotten better!!)

done and done!! Check it out...

I am now officially in the getting denser and more mature (can this happen at the same time??¦j/k). Definitely beginning to see some more thickness and the manageability has improved a bit. I know, like all of you I wanted another round of ???wow??? pics??¦so maybe that is why I cut my hair down to a #2-clip because last months longer haired pics were so good.

Anyway, I took the wet pics prior to my haircut and think they look great, no sign of the scar and overall thickness. The top down pic was deleted somehow, sorry. But that pic looked really good as well. Totally natural! Swimming this summer will be awesome with no concern with the scar.

On my seven month anniversary, I shaved my head down to a #2-clip on the sides and back and #3-clip on top. Felt like giving it a try, as I was a little stressed due to my new job and having a herniated disk in my back.

Prior to the haircut, the recipient was full, the sides were full, and the back was full with no an undetectable scar!! I really like how it looks at the longer length and will let it grow out in the next couple of months.

The next comments are based on the shaved down look (remember it was with a #2-clip): I love the way the top looks short. It is full and the hairline looks completely natural. I have had some really nice comments about it from friends who have noticed how much hair I have. The back looks really good too in terms of not seeing the scar, although at this short length it still looks a little hathead-ish (which is easily resolved, just grow it out a little). When I shaved down, I thought that the hat head was due to the direction in which the hair is growing.

After further inspection my girlfriend and a buddy of mine took a really close look at the scar and it is undetectable, however the hair growing out of the scar is a different color. That is what you are seeing in the left and right side pics and the temple point pics. The darker color should change in time (keeping my fingers crossed), especially once I get out in the sunshine. Looking forward to that!!

So, love where I am at this stage and will grow out to the Michael Bolton look!?!

Awesome result. I cannot see the scar anywhere. You are a freak of nature in regards to your transplant

Do you think you would be able to style hair more?

Hey man, I think your over-analyzing the scar situation. Its virtually un-detectable, I don't see a "hat-head" look. Besides, were hair-junkies, if we can't see it, I highly doubt the untrained eye could.

Congrats.

Right on Eman! I know we are our own worst critics but I'm also willing to bet that practically no one would take a second glance at your scar unless they were looking for it. Enjoy!

Looking good Eman. We would like for you to put that clipper down for a while and let's see some longer hair and a cool style

Agreed with others here, we all have a tendency to over-analyze things when it comes to our hair. From your pics, we can barely see the scar or the discoloration. I doubt anyone will notice.

So what are you telling people when they make the observation that you look good? I got that a few times recently when I met people I hadn't met in a few months and I chalked it up to weight loss...haha!

I agree with all of your assessments.

First- The shaver is going to goodwill and I am now going to take the route of growing out the "doo" for the rest of spring and summer--with a couple of trims only!

Second- We are our own worst critics, but I simply want to give everyone here my honest (and very biased) view of my head. I want to make sure my assessment is as honest as can be.


I do get compliments, actually a ton but still have not been directly asked if I had a HT. People have said:

- Now that you have a full head of hair...
- How did your hair grow back??
- Your hair looks really good, you are back in the game!!
- Incredible (with a puzzled look)

These are just a few. I enjoy every comment that I receive!

Looks awesome! Your scar, or lackthereof, is truly amazing...do you chalk a lot of that up to a super successful tricho where a lot of hair has ended up sprouting from it? Top 5 scar I've ever seen -- easily one of the best.
