I have no idea. I guess it depends on the person who will check your visa. What can I say…good luck!

You can always say it is an old picture...

Thank you. I see so many NW6, with a big head of hair on the sides, and wondered why I couldn't just grab FUs from there, and save the "strip zone" for a later date.

I believe you can take FUs from the sides if choosing FUE. I have also read that they may take hair from the beard or body hair and I have seen some very good results in some other forums. Beard or body hair, if mixed correctly with head hair, cannot be recognized. The only problem is that they don’t grow very long. But if you don’t grow your hair very long, then it’s ideal for saving some valuable donor area.

Excercise and healthy meals is the key to lose weight. And not eating after 8 p.m.

Well, I do have a mature hairline! I 'll post some pictures the next days

Well, my father has no hair on top of his head, only a few hairs here and there. He only has hair on the back of his head. I don’t know exactly what NW scale he is, but I’m guessing something around NW6 -7. Not a very good sign, right?

Since the doctor is willing to talk with you post-op and spend time with you, that's a good sign for me. Did you ask him to see you again, after the operation? Do you feel like you trust him?

1mg daily propecia and 5ml twice a day minoxidil. I've been on this for two years now with no side affects.

It's really comforting to hear that you had no side effects! I 'm thinking I should give it a try and see what happens...

Thanks for the answers guys. So what dosage do you propose I have?

As for my father, he started losing hair at about 27 (just like me) and he reached NW7 at his 60's. I don't have any uncles and my grandfather died very young, before I was born. So i don't have many clues on heredity.

Hello everyone,

I have been reading this forum for a few days trying to learn as much as I can about hair loss. I am 31 years old and since I was 26 I noticed that I was starting losing more hair than I usually did. Looking at the Norwood scale, I think I am a NW2 and I guess it 's the right time to do something about my hairloss before I end like my father who is totally bald. I have been using a lotion from a german cosmetic company for 2 months after the recommentation of a friend but I can't say that I have seen any improvement. I have read here about the different medicine that help to restrain the hairloss but to be honest about it, I am kind of afraid of them. I would prefer something more natural but then again I really have not much confidence that herbs and oils will grow my hair back.

What do you think I should do? Is my fear of medicines solid? Or you think I should give it a try before it's too late?
