Those are beautiful crusts and valleys...makes for a good look. In the next week and a half or so they should all be gone.

Doesn't it feel good to shave the rest of the "bozo the clown" look off?? I really felt liberated after that and I think my scalp was happy too as it became really dry during the first two weeks.

What did Rahal have to say?

LOOKING GOOD CB! Thanks for the update

That's the first milestone CB! Congratulations! I was so glad when the staples came off...

Brave call going for the #1 right after the suture removal are you going to wear a hat to hide the scar or you don't mind showing it off?

looking good so far CB!

which hat did Dr. Rahal pick for you? if he did can you post a pic of that hat. also did you experiment with tilting a hat forward onto your forehead so you don't rub on your hairline? you will probably look like some kind of 'cool' rapper with the forward tilt but it works (my friend did it like that post-op). a nice brand new hat from foot locker will do the trick. let us know about your hat wearing and also work related issues.

happy growing!!!

Mr. GQ- this is the hat I wore as it didn't touch any of the recipient and was loose on the donor...Check out the Hat.jpg below.

CB- I am too curious what hat(s) you decided on.

As I have shaved my head down to a # 1. I must say it feels weird putting on a hat. Im still getting used to such a short hair cut! However that being said, I do wear a hat when Im not at home. The hat I am wearing is http://oakley.ca/pd/4409 in black.

It goes with the winter jacket I wear. It does not touch the grafts at all. When I put the hat on my head I start from the front and then put it on the back. It covers the donor area as well. The donor area does not bother me at all. Well it would if someone was to see it! The hat is a sixe L/XL and to be honest is a little tight, I think my head still has some minor swelling which is normal from talking to Rahal as the surgery was only 2 weeks ago.

I also have a beanie but Rahal said to wait a few more weeks to wear that. http://www.killerdana.com/kill...d=10138371&dl_id=94&

To be honest at this stage I do feel weird having such a short hair cut! I love it when Im at home, however when Im in public I feel strange. People I know and work with know that I always have my hair longer and they all ask what I did with my hair! They always ask to see it, and when I say NO some say we will take it off when your not looking! This makes me paraniod and makes me less social. I find I do prefer to work from home or a friends house and when Im at the office I go straight to my office and do what needs to be done and get the hell out! My assistant is cool with it and she doesnt say anything which is nice. I have been telling people that my brother and I decided we were going to cut each others heads, and he made a mistake with mine and I needed to buzz it all off! We will see what happens.

Im not sure how im going to handle this weekend as I will see all my buddies as we are getting together for the UFC and for Superbowl. Any advise? PLEASE!!!!!

It is hard but im sure this stage will be over before I know it!

I said this in the other thread. The short haircut looks great! It made you look so much younger. I'm jealous.

CB- sounds like you and I are into some of the same things. The last two saturdays have been MMA events and now this weekend with penn and st. pierre (rooting for st. pierre!!). We have a double weekend of fun with the Superbowl. PROTECT your dome from your buddies!!

I would say tilt your brim to a side and look like all the tough teenager whanabees that walk around with their hats askew. No one will mess with you. As I didn't wear a hat before surgery it took a little getting used to by my buddies and many threatened to take the hat off, but I threatened to pound them into the ground (all in fun of course as I am very passive--lover not a fighter!).

Actually at the 3.5-4 week mark with the scabs gone and a buzzed head, I went to a friend's house to watch UFC and they asked again why I was wearing a hat. Since there was a wall behind me and no one to my sides (i positioned myself strategically knowing I would do this) I gently removed my hat, showed them, and said I buzzed again and was wearing a hat as I don't like it that short. No more questions and no more threats of hat removal.
