  1. Daniel Craig has definitely receded at the temples. Sometimes you only notice when they have a shaved head. For example Joseph Gordon Levitt in 50-50 shaves his head with Cancer treatment and its really noticeable, I'd say Johnny Depp has had some work done. As for Tom Cruise, he is 51 or 52 and in Oblivion is underwater at one point with the thickest hair I've ever seen. I'm fairly sure he must wear some sort of hair system or just be blessed with God's best wishes. The amount of money these guys have they can get a full hair system done in their own home and no one would ever know.
  2. A couple of months before my first op in 2011. Stopped before second op as instructed and started 10 days after
  3. I recall being very anxious about telling my other half. I remember saying I had something to tell her, and she got all worried and when I said she wasn't bothered at all. She thought I was gonna say something terrible. I guess it's more down to who the girl/boy is. If they're bothered, they aren't worth it!!
  4. I had my second transplant back in August 2013. This time I experienced significant (in my eyes) shock loss mainly in the areas in close proximity to the newly grafted area. Using Nanogen fibres managed to get me through this disturbing time, and i noticed it starting to thicken up. The new grafts came through which helped to thicken it all up, but in the last few weeks I've noticed another session of shedding similar to last time in quantity. I realise 50-100 hairs fall out each day, but I'm noticing hairs falling each time I wash it, towel dry it, and then hairs on my fingers when I apply Minoxidil Foam. I contacted my surgeon to ask whether it could be due to taking Doxycycline antibiotics but he says it shouldn't be. So I contacted the surgeon's in house trichologist who says that after a period of shock loss, the new and recovering hairs can take time to get back to a normal cycle. Therefore, I might see 2 or even 3 sessions of shedding, each one slightly less noticeable than the last. I'm incredibly worried that after 2 transplants to the front area I'm suddenly having accelerated hair loss, despite using minoxidil every day. My hair loss has been pretty much settled for a good few years by the way. 7 My question is, is my trichologist correct? Anyone who has had shock loss, did you have another 1, 2 or 3 shedding sessions before recovering? I'm into month 7-8 now after the transplant and thought I would be really happy now with how it is progressing. Instead I'm really very anxious, depressed and upset. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
