5 month update. It's starting to thicken a little bit but I don't its yet to pre-HT but at least its getting thicker. I'm over the hair scare I had a couple weeks ago and I'm trying my best to stop looking in the mirror every second but I do notice the hair thickening slowly so its helping the anxiety.

I decided to wait untill the 8 month point before I get back on minoxidil. I have a bottle of the foam next to me in case I need to get back on the juice.

I do think the MSM and ultranourish hair is making my hair grow faster. I'm also cutting my finger nails twice a week instead of once a week, but I could just be tripping.

Thanks for everyone who got me through the hair scare. I do appreciate it. I hope I don't have to go through another one of those. keep you guys updated on the progress.

Thanks again!!

GrowPlease,

I agree with the 'hang in there comments'. You're about 1 month behind me as I just went through the 5-month doldrums wondering about whether I should have had more grafts, etc, etc. By month six, I was feeling much better and now - at the 6.5 month mark - it continues to improve.

PS - do you have any photos of the hairline the day of or days after your surgery? Was your hair buzzed down considerably in the front for the surgery?

Good luck!

yep...I'll keep waiting. I'm excited to see what grows in the upcoming months. I hope holding off on the minoxidil is the right thing to do. But I guess I just have to know for myself if the HT can do its magic so I never have to go on that crap again.

Sorry MM I don't have any pictures before the 4 month point. I really didn't want to think about the HT so I didn't keep progress on it--now I wish I had taken some pictures just for future reference. I was really pretty good about not having any hair scares untill that 4.3 month point. I guess it was just all building up inside me. there was that part of me that just wanted the damn hair to grow and not have to think that it might not...or that the minoxidil dependent hairs would die.

Hey M&M just checked out your 6.5 month update! looks great man! I'm crossing my fingers for some of the same in the upcoming months.

Anyways I'll keep posting and hopefully the growth really kicks in soon or I just **cked myself.

HEY doods,

I'm at 6 months and the hair is growing. From the looks of the pictures its at the very least at pre-HT levels and with a tiny bit lowering of the hairline on the Right side. I remember Dr. Hasson putting some grafts there.

I haven't yet started on any minoxidil and at this point I'm not going to use the stuff anymore. I'm just going to wait and see how much more thickening I can get on the HT and avodart combo.

I just want to say thanks for everyone's help during my panic attack 1.5 months ago. The waves of freaking out are coming in less and less, and I have a lot more hope now. I'm hoping the next couple months show some substantial thickening.

What do you guys think?

GP

GP-

Thanks for the update. No comparison.........a definite change for the better from your last post. The dry look is definitely better for HT hair as your pics portray a better illusion of density dry versus wet. You're coming along and should experience some more growth and thickening over the coming months.

Lookin' good, my friend!

Thanks hairbank for the post....

I've always wanted to go out with the wet look but something tells me that it probably won't happen with this HT.
