It's a simple matter of wanting back what was once there!...:cool:

^^^^ thank you Gill. This sums it all up perfectly

Where are you hearing that keratin makes your hair fall out??

I would think it would help hairgrowth, not cause hair to fall out.

Got a link for this??

Thank you.

Cheers

Hi Dutchie,

 

Just saw your PM. Sorry for the delay!

 

Waves! I like that. Basically saying the same thing as "spurts."

 

The exact number is a good question. I don't think it would be standardized for each patient, but I agree with the idea that it comes in waves or spurts like this. If I had to break it down, I would say there is probably 2 big "popping" spurts between months 3-5 and then another around 7-9. And then a maturation spurt around month 6-7 and then one around month 9-12. But this is going to be very patient dependent. I think the important thing to remember is that it does come in spurts. So don't be worried if you aren't seeing linear popping, growth, and maturation like you mentioned above.

 

Hope this is what you were looking for!

Yes, thanks for answering. Thats exactly the way it seems to be going with me.

One major spurt around month 3 to 4. But I'm now at month 6 almost and it seems to have completely stopped popping, but the maturing is still happening. So hopefully I still have 2 more major spurts to come.

So to summarize: 3 major popping spurts. And 2 major maturation spurts

I'm assuming 3,801 FUE grafts were taken over 2 days, correct??

Doug, were the 3,045 FUE grafts taken out in 1 day or over 2 days??

He's got the same big forelock like I do.

That thing is a lifesaver when it comes to having to reconstruct the frontal hairline

The overall growth does seem to come in spurts

Dr. Bernstein also says the growth comes in waves, and not linear.

Watch video at 1:20:

My question to you dr. Bloxham, do you know approximately how many waves the average person has before the transplant is finished growing after 18 months??

I'm not asking for an exact number, and it probably differs for every person, I just wanted to know if you could give us a ballpark figure or a numerical range of waves.

Thanks in advance

Daily Mail did a piece on Bale's baldspot today. Looks to me like he's headed for a NW5 and appears to have good density and caliber, so he would probably be an excellent HT candidate:

Is Gareth Bale going bald? Wales and Real Madrid star could be hiding receding hairline under his man bun | Daily Mail Online

Might be a good idea.....LOL.

I wonder how many Westerners getting an HT are stuck there now

You can really tell the difference. Looks great!

So I decided to take this picture in my hotel washroom in Jamaica. The lightening is quite strong, but looking at my 8 months restults has really freaked me out . Not to happy .

Iam really my nxt surgery with potential dr hasson is able to turn things around . Really upset

Don, are you the same guy in Toronto who called me on the phone a few weeks ago??

If so, call me again. Same number. Lets talk.

I dont want you to freak out. It appears something may have gone wrong.

Trust me. Its probably fixable.

Call me when you have the chance

I've never tried Minox , but know it can be a scalp irritant for some . Will you keep on the Minoxidil ?

Most definitely will I stay on it. Probably for the full 18 months

Comparison of progress

Thats excellent progress for 6 months. You've got at least another 6 months of growing left.

Enjoy!

Not sure why my last post was not approved because of trigger words, so here is a revised version.

I'm at 5-month now. As you can see I've grown quite a bit more hair.

I'm also not getting any of the anxiety others have reported, if anything I'm getting happier and happier with the result. I can almost see and feel my hair getting a bit thicker each day.

I have also changed my status from NW6 to Norwood 5v because I think I'm closer to a 5v than a 6

2-0 Pogba. Looks like the Iceland fairytale is about to end

Rooney definitely where concealer there no questioning it. Other famous people that wear concealer are.

John McCarthy MMA and UFC ref.

Steven Segal Actor

John Taffer from Bar Rescue.

Jon Cryer actor.

John Travolta (along with wig) actor.

Jason Gardiner singer

Your ex-PM Silvio Berlusconi wears concealer as well. Gotta look good for those bunga-bunga parties

I dont understand why he doesnt get a good HT though, I would think he has enough donor hair

I'm 100% sure Rooney uses a concealer of some sort

I have seen lots of celebrities with some work done but they tend to deny the fact. People get caps for their teeth, nose jobs or some kind of augmentation to improve their looks but if it's hair...oh no! There's something wrong with that guy..."he's vain and he should just embrace it like a real man and be secure with his baldness" is the usual response

Whenever I hear some guys say that I quietly wish they too would go bald so they can experience what its like. My guess is they'll suddenly change their tune when the hair starts falling out and run to the nearest HT clinic

Your Italy is looking solid there, Lorenzo. Especially in defense.

Germany never play well against Italy, so if you can get past them you might go all the way

The way England played is enough to make anyone's hair fall out

Now Jon Polito, he is a norwood 8

Oh wow, there's a guy who got the genetic hair curse.

Just goes to show how lucky we are, HTsoon. I believe Dr. Hasson said he has to turn away about 10% of severe NW6's and NW7's, because there just isnt enough donor hair

Steve Ballmer would qualify as a NW8

Speaking of celebrities, Steve Ballmer has to have one of the worst Norwood 7's I have ever seen.

If there was a Norwood 8 he would be it

At 4 months, you still have worlds of time to continue "popping." And yes, the overall growth does seem to come in spurts. So you're good!

 

Happy growing

Thanks.

Just for reference, first 2 pics below were pre-op

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And this pic was taken yesterday (exactly 4 months and 3 weeks after surgery)

I'm already happy with my result up to now. Of course I want more hair though, but so far so good

I am exactly at 4 months and 3 weeks. My surgery was Feb. 3, 2016.

Thats good. That means I got another 4 months of new hairs that will sprout
