Bushy,

Good comparison pictures.

I think this definitely helps people see that softening does continue to occur as the hair matures. I know that even at 1 year, that more softening can occur up to about 18 months.

Thanks bro.

Bill

I noticed your donor incision is temple to temple for the last session. Do you know the length of the strip? Surely it is well longer than 30 cm, yes? Sorry if you addressed this already, but we are working on a mighty long thread here

Thanx Bill!

Thehairlosscure,

Good question about the length of my strip. Unfortunately, I don't know the measurement in CM....but it does go pretty much from temple to temple. Perhaps I'll try to measure it sometime .

No need to place a tape measure on your dome for me Just wondering if you knew. There is great potential to get some bonus grafts by passing over the ears toward the temples on a strip excision. On the other hand, one of the downsides to such an approach is that the donor density and hair quality in this area tends to drop of a bit. Like anything, it is a balance act. In your case, as we see at 7 months, it paid off beautifully.

Hi THC

Quick question.. How does the length of the strip affect the hair quality? Obviously I can see why it would affect density in the area

Hello all,

Uploaded a few photos of me and my wife, and some family members at a recent wedding. I also added a picture of my uncle's head. He is a full NW6 and my hair loss pattern modeled after his rather than my dads who is closer to a NW4. My dad, however, does use minoxodil and it seems to work for him at least for the crown area..

Mrjb,

I think he's referring to the hair quality in the donor area rather than the recipient. Hair quality is not affected in the recipient area UNLESS the hair being taken are thinner finer hairs (which could happen around the temples). The hair that was taken near my temples, in my case, was very thick, so there will be no impact on quality.

Bill,

Tried to look at new updated photos but with new format didn't have the time to locate. Not sure that this is ideal when there are as many photos as yours. Is there a way to skip to the last few or do you have to go thru them 1 at a time? I have a super fast new computer but the load time wasn't worth it unless I was doing something wrong???

NN

NN, you can skip through the photos by just clicking on the one's you want to see.

Bill, those wedding pics are the big payoff! It really looks great /natural when you are dressed up.
To be able to go to an event like that with a full hairline must be like a dream . Even the outside pics look good!
Congrats bro!

Folica,

I got that part but for some reason out of the 89 photos could not get access to all of them. The scrolling feature wasn't cooperating or something. Not sure this new format works well for this many pictures. Hmmmm... Yes I am a computer idiot however.

NN, I found that when I click a photo, it takes me to that place in the slide show. Sounds like something is not working for you.
Yeah, I am no wizz when it comes to computers either.
Do try & look at Bill's pic's at the wedding, very impressive!
