I had a season ticket when Leeds won the old First Division 1991/92 (season before Premier League started), so at least I've seen my team win something. The teenage fans and even those in their 20's and 30's have never seen Leeds win anything. Ridiculous really for a club with our history. Mostly down to years of mismanagement and dodgy owners. Agree with you on Newcastle - those fans have really had it tough. Hopefully Ashley sells and they get a decent owner in. All the best to Fulham, hope you stay up, and that Huddersfield get relegated so Leeds regain their rightful place as Yorkshire's top team Anyway, back to hair! - Hope the meds work well for you and keep us posted.

Finasteride Results - 1.5 Years
Pete-from-Farjo replied to hairlossPA's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
One of the best responses to finasteride I've seen. Congrats. -
I agree. I had a few similar comments to your barber's ones when in my twenties. For some reason society seems to deem hair loss as fair game, and that they have the right to mention it or mock someone who suffers from it. If a fat person goes into a clothes shop they wouldn't expect the assistant to say "wow, you're enormous, I'll show you to the XXXL aisle!" I also agree about people's reasons for getting transplants. It sounds a bit contrary, but all I ever wanted from my early transplants was for people to NOT notice my hair. I just didn't want to stand out in a negative way from my contemporaries at a young age.

During my twenties and thirties I withdrew socially a great deal due to my hair loss. Looking back it saddens me that I was 'robbed' of so many good times during those years due to my low self esteem because of it. Now in my late forties though after quite a few procedures I'm happy with where I'm at - I have hair. By no means thick, lustrous locks (that was never realistic given my level of loss) but when I bump into follically-challenged old friends who make comments like "at least you managed to hold onto your hair!", I feel it was all worthwhile. The saddest thing is when you're seventeen and not even an adult, and you notice the first signs of hair loss and think there's just no hope. That's just really unfair. I've been there, and I know there will be many many kids in that same situation now. Thankfully there's a lot more help and information out there these days. I've got a lot more perspective now of where hair loss stands in importance in the great scheme of things, but back then it felt like my world was ending before it had even begun (a bit over-dramatic I know, but that's how I felt).

All any shampoo is going to do for you is make your hair look nice and shiny and perhaps temporarily feel a bit thicker. As has been said, finasteride and minoxidil are your best bets for any real benefits.

I started losing hair at 18. Looking at my male relatives I could see I was heading for a high Norwood pattern. After several transplants over almost 20 years I've got a decent covering front to back. It was only in the last 2 to 3 years though that my sides and base of my crown have started to drop quite badly (I'm 48 now), so I'm going to need to address that soon. Thanks to good donor supply/management, even after more than 7000 grafts I've hopefully got enough to sort this effectively.

Looks like a really good response so far. Congrats.

3008 grafts with Dr.Demirsoy, 15/8/2018
Pete-from-Farjo replied to hairaway's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
You've not even quite reached the four month mark which is only the very start of growth! And you already look in better shape than your pre op pics. There is absolutely no need for concern at this point. Try to relax and not fixate over it. -

Top 3 WORST Hairstyles For Balding Men
Pete-from-Farjo replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
I might do that actually. They're pretty thick-skinned really and would probably see the funny side (I hope...) -
Top 3 WORST Hairstyles For Balding Men
Pete-from-Farjo replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
I would like to recommend this article to one or two of my male relatives but I don't have the heart -
Best of luck with your repair. You'll be amazed at the difference a state of the art transplant can make. It would be good to see some pics/graft numbers etc if you're able to.
