Hair cut short one week ago to a #2-clip and scissors in the recipient--I will let it grow out going forward. Outside pics are in direct harsh sunlight.

Eman's 4-Month UPDATE: The Fun Has Begun!!

I have finally taken a step out of the doldrums stage or maybe jumped out of it all together. I am officially 'sprouting'. The difference in my recipient area between 3-months and 4-months is definitely noticeable??”I am holding in my excitement for the months to come. I am beginning to have a defined hairline, something that has been missing for almost ten years. And the recipient area is beginning to fill in nicely.

These are exciting times. Last update I gave you some thoughts, this time some experiences:
1. My dad still says I am 'Hairing' (a verb) every time I see him.
2. My mom's eyes widen and she is like 'Wow, you need to continue doing whatever it is you are doing!'
3. My sisters cannot believe it every time we go out.
*Remember, my family does not know. I have simply told them that I began taking finasteride and minoxidil.

4. The girlfriend chides me every time I wear a hat to the gym saying 'People are going to know you did something if you don't stop wearing a hat there.' A comment which has nothing to do with the scar.
5. Friends are saying my hair is looking thicker and asking what I am doing differently. And one buddy said he can see a solid hairline. Some simply stare in disbelief.
*Again these friends only know that I got on those two drugs and I have not ask them if they notice anything different. These are all un-solicited comments!

As opposed to the first three months, the last month flew by. When you start seeing growth and people start complementing without me asking or saying anything, it feels really good and time no longer stands still. And I know that it is still really early in my journey!!

Just a week ago I shaved my head down to a #2-clip (yes, the scar is visible at that clip) and trimmed the recipient with scissors. This cut gives me a buzzed look that I like at this stage. I will let my hair grow out now that the recipient is beginning to fill in, which should really begin to show the growth I am experiencing.

Like I said, the fun has begun. (click My Weblog link to see the full journey under my name and above my avatar). I will update the weblog shortly.

Eman

Wow! A huge difference from your last set of pics.

A definite hairline for sure. The buzzed look definitely works for you aswell.

The scar can be faintly made out but remember we all look for it and it will fade even more.

All and all, some huge improvements. You must be estatic!

Congrats

You know I look at a lot of pictures. Sometimes I do not see everything other people see in some pictures but this month I do see a dramatic change starting for you Eman. I'm impressed! Good for you. You deserve a great result! After seeing these pictures I have a feeling months 5 through 7 are going to be a very nice time for you.

Wow! The hairline is clearly visible and looking good. Can't wait to see what it will look like in the next few months.

Also, I really had to look to spot the scar - I am not sure I would have noticed it if I didn't know it was there.

Happy Growing Eman! The fun has indeed begun.

Looks terrific so far! Scar is *really* looking to be extraordinary, hairline is shaping up, and the growth boom hasn't even been touched upon. Next couple of months should be really exciting times!
