Slightly off topic, but related.

I took a DHT test after I quit Fin (it was part of a test of all things due to my sides) - of course I don't know what the level was whilst on it, but 3 months after I quit it, my level was 3.36nmol/L (with the range being 0.32-1.64!!!)

It took over a year before the levels got back down to 1.25....

I don't get the whole Jason Stratham looking good thing .... if I had hair like that, I wouldn't be happy at all.

This is so spooky - I just logged on to ask exactly this question, and it was top of the "New Posts" .....

I went to Oceanworld today, and in a load of the photos where the light is shining directly onto my head - it goes pretty see through - so was coming to ask did anyone else have the same problem

I'd never thought of using bleach on its own - surely then you would just be left with white/very light hair?

can someone please enlighten me why someone would want to bleach their hair? there is probably an obvious answer, I cannot come up with one.

 

I apologize for my ignorance.

I like making my hair blue, like this:

But to get the best result, you need to bleach your hair first (so it's super light) - then apply the blue.

If you don't do this, it will 1) not go so vivid and 2) wash out really quickly.

At the moment I am using something like this:

But it only lasts one day, thus is getting quite expensive

The short answer VIAGRA!

Which won't help your libido at all....

It's a tough call really, as you read sites that say things will get worse before they get better - which is what made me keep going with it, but after a while I realised that wasnt' going to work.

I'd say try it for a month, but if it's starting to give you negatives, then that is the time to stop.

It only started growing in about a month ago, so at the moment I can't really see much.

Will post up after 2 more months, as there should be a noticeable difference then

But it looks so cool ... haha

I've had a search through the forum, but the old posts I could find are super old - so wondering if anyone learnt anything new yet.

7 months out of an HT, am I safe to go for a full bleach / coloring yet?

I like to dye my hair blue - but the spray is costing a fortune, lol, so I want to just do it with a permanent, which would mean a bleach first.

Any ideas?

personaly in my opinion unless you have a partner then being a slap head will effect you pulling power any way so!

 

i would try finest minox HT and sex all at the same time ahahahah:D

I used to think like that .... until I tried fin.

Believe me, no matter how bad you feel single - you feel a million times worse unable to even think erotic thoughts about a girl....

In the end, I've decided to play the life wheel of fortune, in that I hope that by the time my current hair falls out either:

1) They will have found a cure, or

2) I'll be married (of course, it will still suck to lose hair, but at least I won't then also be worrying about "will I find a partner")

I'm at nearly 8 months now, and I only started the big growing in phase about a month ago (seriously) - so no need to panic....

Anyway, get yourself back to Bangkok and we'll find many places to go that can take your mind off things!!!

in thailand you get screwed big time for using credit or debit cards and for withdrawing money from atms.....

 

Don't withdraw from ATMs as there is a 150 baht fee. Go inside a branch and do an over the counter withdrawal (simply give them your debit card) - there is no fee for this and you can get out 20,000 instead of (for UK nationwide at least) around 13,500 (?300)

wb280,

 

Yes, I do remember your response in this regard and I did do direct depositing for confirming HT date. Forex I got was terribly low.

Never send in Thai Baht - always send in your countries currency and allow the conversion to happen Thai side. The rates are much much better.

Alternatively, bring cash and take it to Super Rich near Central World to get an even better rate (though the convenience of a wire transfer might make that more simple!)

If you need any help at all, do let me know - be it to check out some hotels, grab a beer or two, or chilax with some beautiful ladies at Cowboy after the terrible stress of your surgery

My second HT was within my existing hair - 7 days out I looked fine.

Before you procedure, start wearing your hair forward for a bit so people are used to you like that - then you can use that hair to cover the surgery later

And if you get bored at all and feel like going for a drink, let me know

Soi Cowboy has a load of indoor places where the sun will stay off your head (though you might have quite a few women trying to caress it ... hehe)

Can't speak for the rest, but Dr Path's prices have gone up over the last 2 years.

He does - when he puts on those little glasses things he has

Don't worry - when I went to Dr Alexander, I asked about a computer test - and he said he just does the same thing: ie puts on high strength glasses and has a good look

Miniturization analysis is when your current hair is examined at close range (or on a computer) to see what stage of hair loss it is in.

As you know, as we get older, our hair sheds - coming back a bit thinner each time (in an area susceptible to DHT) - eventually not coming back at all. Hairs at an advanced stage (ie already very thin) can be hit badly by shockloss, and as they were on the way out almost already, might not grow back.

Really sorry to hear that man

Don't worry NotUrAvg, I just checked the rates now, and they aren't so different anymore (it used to be a big gap)

Currently offshore will give you roughly:

1gbp = 47.6baht

Onshore:

1gbp= 50.4baht

Do a wire transfer from your home bank direct to Dr Paths, BUT MAKE SURE YOU SEND IN YOUR HOME CURRENCY - DO NOT SEND IN BAHT.

The reason for this is Thailand works on dual exchange rates. The onshore rate - and the offshore rate. If you convert before you send (ie get your back to send X baht), you will be converted at the offshore rate, which is significantly lower.

If you send in your own currency (for example US$) - then the money will be converted at the Thai end, and thus you will get the onshore rates.

Also, when it asks "which end do you wish to pay the fees" - choose Thailand, unless your bank is particularly cheap - as the fee is only 50baht here

TBH I didn't even notice any swelling, I only knew I had it coz Dr Path kept saying "still some swelling here" - so don't worry about it

I've seen some awful photos though of people who didn't use headbands, so I wonder why it's not more common place....

My Dr uses a headband after surgery which you keep on for a few days.

I never had any of the above mentioned problems .... (the band keeps the saline up top, not letting it seep down to puff up your face )

I guess I should really be writing this in my blog, but as the thread is here....

In the name of sanity (or perhaps INsanity) - I decided today to go and retrace my steps and time exactly how long everything took , lol, a little crazy I know, but I was there anyway, so it wasn't so big a deal

It went like this:

From shade to sun to shade > 5 minutes

15 minute rest

From shade to sun to shade > 3 minutes

5-10 minute rest

From shade to sun to shade > 2 minutes

20 minute rest

From shade to sun to shade > 3-5 minutes

For some reason I thought it was a lot more, but it seems my mind was playing tricks on me. So overall, never more than 5 minutes in the sun - I guess I am worrying over nothing ....

Sure - you just ask for a cancellation place.

I decided I wanted HT2 on around the 8th of March, went in and then got booked for the 16th

It's gonna depend on whether people cancel or not, but there seemed to be a few places opening up every so often.

Not yet - I'm waiting for the preshots so I can do the blog properly. I did mail a few days ago, so I'll give it a bit longer. If not, I'll just pop in and get them put on my memory stick

At the moment, not much to report - but hopefully in a month or so.

I haven't seen the scar at all (ever!) - but my first one took much longer to get looking like yours!
