Hi,
i thought i'd stick up a few pics of my new hairline. To be honest i have been a little disapointed with the over all density, my hair is pretty sparse and see through and i'm a a little paranoid over the ht hairs looking pretty uniform.

I do need need to try a new hairstyle as i have a habit of growing it long to cover my ears. So the native hair is farly dense in contrast with the ht hairs at the front which doesnt help.

The hair is still a little wirey on the rite side and still a little fizzy all over.

I'd say if went to a pretty decent hair stylist, and have it cut short it would look pretty good, but i dont dig wearing my hair too short so i've been relunctant.

thanks, its always tricky though rating a ht from a photograph. You really need to see one in the flesh to see what its really like. This is why a lot of folk can be naive about what to expect because they've seen so many pics as opposed to checking one out in the flesh in detail. Mine is very good but i could do with another pass to get more density and i assume the majority of folk who had a similar procedure usually require at least a 2nd pass.

Regarding the hairline its also a big help if ya have some native hair at the start of the hairline lets say the peak at the center, this really helps blend and introduce the ht into the hairline helping it look more natural. Although in my case those native hairs seem to be miniturizing and falling out despite that i'm using finasteride and rogaine.

Some people will never fully appreciate how fortunate they are!

Jojo, can you please post some before HT pictures? That way, we can more clearly evaluate the degree of progress you've made.

Also, how many grafts did you transplant?

Thanks!

yeah the guys that went bald gracefully!

can't see anything wrong with that, jojo... you don't want a 'brick wall'-type hairline in the very front, that's not natural... look at the hairlines of people without MPB - the first row or so is usually a bit 'transparent'...

I'd definitely like to see some photos from before, and perhaps some post-op which show placement.

Since getting involved in the transplant scene I've noticed that many of the features associated with a transplant are common in natural hair. Things such as see through hairlines. I really doubt if anyone would notice anything amiss with yours. To the people you meet I'm sure you're a guy with a great head of hair.

hi,

heres some pre ht pics which should giv ya a rough idea of the way my hairline looked. I had about 2500 gfts which re-established the hairline and filled in the temples slightly. I was given an age appropriate hairline.

I did also mention that i didn't want the 'wall of hair' look at the hairline and spoke about a softer hairline which i agree looks a lot more natural. In a way its so long since i had a hair-line i've forgotton what one looks like.

But yeah the new hairline looks natural when i hold my hair back and really frames my face good. It was when i looked through the hairline from the side during certain light it can seem very sparse. But maybe this is just me, now im feeling more confident after posting pics, soon i'll get a new more appropriate hairstyle so my hair is more stylable and i can really enjoy the result. If my density holds up in the donar area maybe i could get a second pass down the road if i want.

Jojo, your hairline looks excellent. Based on your pre-HT pics, you appear to have gained symmetry and good density. I would definitely count my blessings with this result
