Ron J, never fear - love of music will dictate my hairstyle in time! I think post-HT people go conservative to start off with because they're not used to having hair to style, and are so used to 'making do'. 'Peacocking' takes time to re-learn! Thanks guys for the kind words. More time, more progress - sounds mighty good. Grow well and be well

numpty, I missed Farjo in my search - I have since heard great things, so happy growing to you too! Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement - I have added a no-product pic as you're right about the unforgiving look of water-based products (too candid!). There's around 3000 grafts (I'll try and get the exact info). Continued best wishes and congrats to all you guys - this is a great and honest forum.

After years of noticing my self-worth ebb away with my disappearing hairline and trying every available product to hang on to a few strands in vain, I did some HT research. So many heartbreaking stories concerning under-qualified surgeons, but also so many rejuvenated souls that took the trouble to seek out the decent surgeons. Somebody asked on a forum ''where's the best place in the UK for a hair transplant?'' and the reply was ''Heathrow airport - for heaven's sake, go abroad''... My own research repeatedly indicated Dr Feller was the man for the job, and he didn't disappoint. I think the grafts are coming along well and my mojo is returning! Hair loss seems to many to be a trivial thing and ''it's what's on the inside that counts'', but sometimes what's on the inside can be drowning in depleting self-worth and that's no good to anyone. A decent HT and a bit o' patience can transform your energy. It's not vanity, it's sanity! Here are a few reference pics from my ongoing journey - I'll post more as I find them.
