Hair greed! - Hair greed is a killer, so be aware of it and its ability to creep up on you!! We all want more hair - Hair is like money you always want more! Everyone I meet with I tell them straight out that regardless of the size session you have its inevitable you will WANT more - You will not necessarily need it but you will WANT it - Nature of the hairy beast

Its important that guys and girls realise that HT's are a commitment LONG TERM and you must realise that you will always want to refine your hair and wish it were thicker/fuller/denser etc.. - This is the nature of hair - No one just gets one HT (Unless very small requirements initially) Ht's are not a quick fix - you need to consider the long term commitment and the FACT you will want more. Many clinics will tell you it can all be done in one session - that is straight out BS, so be aware! Be aware that your goals will in time change as well which contribute greatly yo hair greed. You initially only want a conservative session and once its grown in you wish you'd had more and you will want more - Hair greed!If i had a ?? for every time a patient had said - " I only intend to have the 1 session and that will be me done" - i would be rolling in it

The more you have the more you will want especially once you have seen the results of good work initially (Doc dependant). I personally needed to have more work due to unsatisfactory results initially - (i still want more though even now) -Many guys now have the use of these forums to find a top doc straight off the bat - which in turn allows you plan more effectively long term and facilitate "Hair greed" much better - Donor management!


The vast majority embark out with every intention to just have one session as only want a conservative change to their appearance but once the effects of HT no.1 come in - They want more!!!!! Hair greed - it gets us all so be aware and think/plan long term

This topic will hopefully help:



Number of Sessions!

Amen

It's important to have realistic expectations and a solid game plan. Also, we must realize that we are trying to create the illusion of density which may limit the style available to us.. At a former N5 I am estatic to have a hairstyle which is trendy and versitile without visible loss. However, I am a bit limited. Maybe that will change in the next 6 months as I am only 6 months post op .

Sorry guys...woke up in a good mood.

LOL Morehair.

You know, 7550 grafts later and I STILL want more hair! What can I say! Talk about a bad case of hair greed.

Of course for major baldies like me, it takes more grafts to get the job done. A LOT of area to cover

I'll possibly be going for a 4th in a few years - I guess time will tell
