Hi, LAhair, well no one can see my donor area if that is what you mean. I often cut the donor area about as short as #2 clipper. In many cases I have cut as short as #1 (1/8th inch) and no one can tell. I can tell if I look very closely under bright lights. I think shorter than 1/8th inch is shaved, so it may be possible to see the difference in density? But I am not sure.

This is with a completely shaved head from early February, around a #1 or might be even a #1/2 blade which is 1/16 inch. I am not sure if I could keep it this short because of density differences in the donor area. I will try it some time when I have a spare week that I won't be too often outdoors. =)

Hi LosAngeles (Go Kings!) My hair is actually brushed up in the photos I posted on 1/28. I have a new picture on my phone of me with a #2 clip cut which is a 1/4 inch long. I will post that photo as soon as I get a chance, and my hair is too short to move so you can see what it looks like.

Thank you!

Hey Sean. I think I'm doing pretty well. I have a ton of gray hair lol but the hair line seems good. I can clipper my head with a #2 clippers and I have no visible differences in density from my native hairs. I often do that because I look way younger without the gray. I will post some pics over here next time I do. How are you Sean?

Yes, I have been on fin (brand propecia) since 1999-ish. I've had no sides.

Thanks, Sirius =)

Sirius, you look awesome. The texture of your hair gives you a cool look too. Do you color your hair, or it's naturally still the brown color?

jbrant, I don't really have a way to measure my final hairline at the moment, but it is definitely lower than the original. 1cm lower is my best guess. My touch up procedure used 1000 grafts, but keep in mind they we're not only put in my existing grafted areas, many were put in areas of further recession.

@newhair I have only ever had FUE @agent I have had I believe around 3700 grafts

Thanks Mike! I just want to add that not only is there nothing in my hair (no product) but the hair is also brushed out away from my scalp

Hey guys, just wanted to update that I am post op of my 2nd procedure, and I am very happy with my results. I have been able to cut my hair extremely short, and it appears as though I have a full head of hair. I love that I can hop out of the shower and just towel dry my hair and go. I normally put a tiny amount of pomace in the sides of my hair at the back, due to the very thick nature of my hair at the back. It gives me a little shine and prevents the sides from puffing out. I'm really happy and grateful to Dr Rahal; to say my life has changed would be an understatement. Will update with pics soon.

Your trichologist said whey isolate can cause hair loss? Yikes Would you be so kind as to post the list of the things if you still have it?

I definitely noticed more hair falling on creatine, but I haven't noticed it since I began taking whey protein isolate a couple months ago. I take one scoop per day of ON 100% Gold Standard. My muscles have gotten slightly bigger, but the most significant thing I've noticed it they've changed shape. I was getting blockier muscles before, and now they're leaner and look a lot more attractive. I'll continue to monitor, but I haven't seen an issue yet. One critical factor that I wonder about, is if whey users also were on Propecia and Rogaine. I am.

I've still been insisting on the brand name Propecia. It's more expensive, but I have never trusted generics. I used to take Wellbutrin for my ADHD, and in spite of the same ingredients, most of the generics were shit.

HI Alexio, I wish all the best for you with your FUT. I will follow the thread here online closely.

Thanks Sean. I hope all is going well with you also.

Thank you for the kind words, Alexio. I was happy with my 12 months growth, but I was concerned about a couple of small areas. I will be following your thread about your recent FUT, and wish the best for you in it.

If fin gave you sides, then Avodart will knock you on your ass! IMO, avodart is 10X stronger than fin.
