There's no rush here. Think everything over carefully, and if there are any doubts at all, you lose absolutely nothing by waiting! It's a big decision for many guys. And a hair transplant is one time where "thinking about it" is sometimes better than taking action.

In the meantime, you should be using Propecia regularly from now on. You might even consider Minoxidil. You want to save as much of your natural hair as possible, especially if you decide to go the transplant route.

ttl -

What is it that you unsure about? Maybe you should try shaving your head for a while to see if you like it (it's reversible).

Shave it first!!!!! I wish I would have. I am not unhappy with my HT but should have given it much more thought. Now I cant shave it (big ass scar on the back of my melon)
