    Thank you! I've been very lucky with my density, always been told I have really thick hair in the back especailly. I was about 23 in the minox posts I did years ago. Not had any loss past the frontal third, which I'm fortunate for!

    Just try to be careful and not pull upwards when cutting. I just laid the scissors on my head and cut from there gently!

    Hey, I went with Dr Cinik doing the work

    Thank you! I don't use minoxidil or fin. I had side effects with minox such as baggy under eyes headaches, and figured that it wasn't worth the side effects. Glad you remember my old post about it!!

    Thank you all for the support and following my journey. @johnp557799 great result man, that's a huge difference! How do you feel? @clerksband congrats on the 30 day mark! Yeah, I wouldn't use clippers on the transplanted area for at least 6 months. I believe the vibration of the clippers can cause damage to the root or dislodge the hair (it's still in its infancy) just use some good old scissors to trim. The rest of your head, inclduing donor, should be fine to clip...well it was fine for me at least. @mrknid yep you're right!

    Looking great man!! I waited for the 10 day mark but coconut oil is the best! Gently rub with your fingertips and don't force/pick the scabs. Best thing just take care of your health and it will help with the process (my perspective at least).

    I bet you can't wait! Work looks great! What did Dr. Cinik say about your hairloss future? Any reserves in your donor area just in case? Enjoy the next few days as the scabs come off and you get to see your hair...then the shed starts! This journey is like a rollercoaster but you'll be so happy at the end of the ride!! Happy growing man!

    I'm chuffed!! I don't recall having this much density even in my late teens haha

    Well I am almost at the 1 year mark (3 days shy)!! But as I have family in town I likely will miss the date to update so wanted to give my results today! My family's coming in from England tomorrow and they haven't seen me since just before and after the operation. So this will be the biggest testament in terms of what they notice and how different I look. - Of course they know about the transplant, but will see it for the first time in person. I am growing my hair out and after a few weeks of the awkward stage it's finally getting better in terms of being more manageable and doing what I want it to. Overall at the 12 month mark I am ecstatic over how different I look. The fact the hair shapes my face, I don't mind about the wind as it's a quick fix. I can part my hair either side of my head (photos to follow). I've had a ton of compliments stating how I look 8-10 years younger than before, is it from working out, diet? I've been very open with everyone who's asked about what's different, and no-one has even guessed that I had a hair transplant until I tell them. They're reactions are priceless..I can almost hear their inner voices changing as they process that information "Are you crazy, woah that's so cool, hmm maybe I should get one" haha! This forum has been a huge help and I really appreciate everyone reaching out to ask about my story and following this thread. I will be continuing to post my journey over the next few months too. Thank you all and feel free to ask me any questions that I can help answer

    Thanks for reading! Never say impossible, you never know what is doable. Have you reached out to any Drs for a consultation? How far along is your hairloss?
  13. lukeyb1687
    Looking great so far man!! Each day/week gets even better!! Looking forward to seeing your progress!!
  14. lukeyb1687
    Almost! Dec 13 will be a while year!!
  15. lukeyb1687
    That's why I'm here, share my experience!

    Congrats on your procedure! Yeah he came to Los Angeles and wanted to do an in person checkup. Meeting went great he was very excited to see how well everything had come along. (he took the 10 month comparison photos). Looking forward to hearing more about your journey! Best piece of advice I can give- Take Photos! Here are my photos from today- Lighting next to natural light (window) and bathroom lighting. I tried to style my hair differently using different product and I'm not a fan on the clumpiness of this pomade. I think I'll be going back to my sea salt and matte paste.

    @HG1 thank you man! It certainly makes me look 31 instead of 41 for sure! Plus I feel like myself again haha!!
  18. lukeyb1687
    Thank you Melvin! Haha I completely agree with you! It's crazy how hair really does change the appearance and even gives a more youthful appearance too, in some cases!
  19. lukeyb1687
    Thank you @ILtrooper glad you found the thread helpful. I'll keep updating with more pictures throughout the months as well as photos of what styles I choose for my hair next. @Markee haha thanks I do feel lucky lol! Yeah by all means tell them you found my thread here and maybe it might give you some traction. Wishing you the best!!
  20. lukeyb1687
    Haha no worries! Maybe the mods can delete the duplicate posts @Bill - Managing Publisher Hey Markee, I don't have any "hookups" I'm just a patient as much as anyone else. Have you tried calling them? Why would they not take your inquiry serious? @Zinedine Glad I could be of service for some laughs too! That picture cracks me up everytime!
  21. lukeyb1687
    Thanks Pelo! Yeah I feel pretty awesome about life with this hair right now! You know, I don't actually know. I can see if Dr. Cinik knows, but I'm not sure if he measures the area. Let me find out!
  22. lukeyb1687
    Thank you! 🙏🏻
  23. lukeyb1687
    Right?? Maybe I got "lucky" with my hairloss haha! Who knows maybe down the road I'll possibly have loss in the crown. For now I'm just glad it's still super thick.
  24. lukeyb1687
    Thank you Alex! I am over the moon with the difference!
  25. lukeyb1687
