I wanted to share with everyone an updated pic. I just went over the 6 month mark and the hair is definitely starting to do some neat things which I've just noticed within the last 2 weeks! I'm excited and even more excited about the fact that my hair is actually acting a little unruly. I can actually feel hair waving around when I shake my head from side to side. Here is a quick before and after pic. I'm using Rogaine liquid as a styling aid. Anyone else do that?
P.S. I changed my display name and avatar..trying to be a little more creative.

atta boy


but pics are little blurry especially the after one. things should start taking off from now on but you just need to be patient.
glad you are happy with your situ so far and grow well and all the best.

P.S.
using minox as a styling product -well you are the first one utilizing it as far as i know
my hair looks like shit while i have that liquid in it and i can't wait to wash my hair just to get my 'volume' back

Thanks man. Yea, I need to get a new digital camera sometime. My current one is about 6 years old and it doesn't seem to take clear pics at least not consistently and especially when you try and take a pic up close. I'm just glad I'm finally starting to see some growth action.

Looking good Mercer. That's quite a good start there at six months!

There is a definite improvement but you still have a lot to look forward to. You should be looking great in another 6 months with your graft count.

You have so much more to go.
My real growth started at 5 months so by 12 you should look great

Thanks guys! I've definitely noticed some REAL progress lately. The folks who work in my office with me even commented on it! Not to sound cheesy but my barber was giving me compliments on my hair. He was impressed and said to keep doing whatever it was that I was doing.
If this is just the beginning then I think I will be very happy with the final result. I'd like to post another picture but I can't seem to take a decent photo holding the camera by myself. Plus my camera sucks!

I took another picture and I had my hair cut. Hopefully this one is a better picture to show my 6 1/2 month results. I honestly DO NOT have anyone who could talk pictures for me since I live alone and am fairly new to the area.

Hi Mercer,
Could you please post some recent pics?
Thanks,
Gunter

15 month result. Here they are. What do you think? I did not get any grafs in the crown.
