the pants part starts from now , the dreaded shed ........

when removing the staples , take it easy and sit in the bath and soak the donor staples well , get your skin nice and soft , don't drink achohol or take pain killers before , this thins your blood and make you bleed more ...

then removed 10 -15 staples at a time till it pinches a little , then soak again , tell who ever is removing the staples not to be shy or slow , be firm and swift .

stay calm and put the two prongs of the tool under the stable and let the single prong clamp down from the top and steadly BEND the staple out out your skin , it may bleed a little but don't worry .

The staple will look like the letter M when removed correctly , good luck , on my blog is a step by step guild to removal for you to look at ......

Thanks a lot for the feedback and especialy the advice man. It's always good to get that bit of advice from someone who has already been through it. I have my girlfriend removing my staples in the morning and she went out to a hen party at 1pm clutching a bottle of tequila so no doubt I'll probably look like Quasimodo by this time tomorrow : )

I think i have started shedding a few hairs already. I keep finding a few falling onto my laptop n stuff. Oh well. I'm prepared for that.

Thanks again mate.

Staples were a doddle mate. Hungover girlfriend came good : )

Here are a couple of pics but honestly you cant see anything except a few tiny scabs. I took like 30 photos to try and get the scar but you can hardly see it with all the damn hair (If only all that hair was on top of my head. hahaha).

I'm gonna shave the sides and back down to about a 3 or 4 when the scabs go so I'll take more pics then.

Hi bud

Glad the girlfriend came through , I've often seen guys panic about removing the staples , especially if they have travelled from the UK , but it really is easy .

Well done and well done to the girlfriend hahahaah

Cheers mate. She was still half drunk I recon so ploughed through them. It was no probs. went back to work today with the combover and a bit of hairspray on the native hair to hold it in place. Nobody has batted an eyelid. My best mate who knows about the ht said he cant even tell. I think having thick curly hair makes it possible. Really looking forward to going out tomorrow now. Not really left the house for close to three weeks and not drank since nye.
