Is there any suggested reading and/or sites you could recommend for me? I felt like I had done a decent amount of research, but I'm most definitely open to doing more. I honestly hadn't been told until today to grow my hair out a little bit before getting this procedure.

30 cm strip scar? That seems awfully large...especially if I have my head virtually shaved.

YoungGuy, Thank you. I guess my situation is that I currently have my head shaved, and I don't want to start growing hair back because I'll be thin on top (until the hair starts growing back in), and again, I'm in the public eye. So, if you're saying the only visible problem I'm going to have is the strip scar (which I really don't know how large that is), then that doesn't sound too bad. And, to me, at least on the surface, it sounds like something I'd be comfortable with having...unless you guys are telling me that it will a) look hideous even 3 weeks after the procedure and b)is a terrible idea (keep in mind, I'm obviously planning on growing my hair out in the 5-6 months it takes to grow back).

Another question... And probably one I should have asked out of the gate... Would there be any obvious scarring/scabs/whatever anywhere on my head outside of the strip scar?

Thank you guys for all the feedback. I really appreciate it. Like I said, I'm not cleanly shaven, but I do shave my head with no guard...so it's awfully short. Is the Hasson & Wong procedure that I will get FUE or FUT? In other words, do they only offer one option, or could I do FUE (but it sounds like that would be much more expensive)?

I'm sorry, but I'm not well versed in what all that means (FUE vs. FUT). I'm planning on going with Hasson & Wong, if that helps answer the question.

I'm preparing to schedule a session in the very near future. Currently, I shave my head with an electric razor (with no guard...so it's not cleanly shaven...kind of a stubble...and fortunately...I have hair growing in all over my head, but it's just thinner on top). I have a job in the public eye, so that's why I'm paranoid. Here's my situation: I want to get the procedure, but afterwards, I want to keep shaving my head until the 4 or 5 months later when the hair should start growing in. I realize I may be leaving a lot of details out---and obviously, I'm new at all of this, so I may be asking a stupid question---but I was wondering if you guys could tell me if this is feasible. If you have any questions that may help you give better advice, I'll be happy to answer as many as possible. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and help me out.
