It's been a little while since I updated my progress.

Changes in my growth are hard to see since my hair is short so I wanted to wait until there was enough change to see the difference.

Front hair line region is starting to see growth and I no longer use concealer in the front.

The scar area is still pretty visible so I still use concealer. I posted scar pics with and without the concealer.

YAY...It's about time we got an update from you!! Great to see you back and love the new hairline! It looks totally natural at the short length you are keeping it at.

The concealing job looks great--you cannot even see it. Have you thought about growing it out a tad and trying to brush the hair surrounding it over the scar? I know you like your hair short as I do, but I have found when I grow mine out it actually looks pretty good. Again, I haven't grown out my hair in years and doing so now is kind of fun.

Anyway, great to see you back and I love the results!

Thanks for the comments Eman!
It's hard keeping up with you cuz youre results are great!

I've tried growing my hair out but there wasn't much of a difference for the scar appearance. Once I get more density in the front, I'll try growing it out some more.

Hey EZ thanks for all the great pics on your blog. I liked the donor pictures since they showed some things I would not ordinarily see. I can see some improvement for sure despite 6 months still being pretty early. How are you feeling about things?

EZ, wonderful results at 6.5 months - looks perfectly natural and that cut is great on you.

Question: I have thick hair like yourself, how do you get the Toppik to stick to the hair on the back of your head?

Thanks.

Thanks for posting. I think you are right on track. Although I remember where we started, next time you put up a progress report, can you throw up a preop scar pic for comparison?

Even if someone did see the scar on the back of your head, how many people would actually know what it is or even think twice about it? Most people are oblivious. Looks fine to me. At worst it looks like your barber cropped it a little too close.

Looks good overall.

Wantego, My feeling is so far is that I'm going to wait to judge success or not. I'm happy with the implanted area. I'm being optimistic the scar will improve. I will measure the level of success at the 1 year mark.

HairHope: I use a make-up pencil pad to apply the dermatch. The end of the pencil is a pad that's the width of the scar so the concealer stays on the scar and doesn't clump up.
