    Spencer Kobren says Johnny Depp got a hair transplant.

    Well, I was instructed not to use a trimmer or a blade for 3 months and I'm afraid about using it on the zone where the transplanted hair and the rest of the scalp merge. I'll see about that in two weeks when I'm back at work. Hard to tell about the density because even on te day 11 pics I may have lost a few hairs while removing the scabs, I saw a few fell down the sink, which is fine as long as there's no blood apparently! But the inside of the temples looks a bit sparse yes. We will see! It's been 5 weeks today and it doesn't look like there's much left to shed.

    Simply taking biotin. I eat a ton of brewer's yeast as well. The acne breakout is manageable I hope my system will adjust. My hair needs to grow fast so I can look presentable in the next few months before the growth kicks in! When do you advise to stop biotin? Thanks

    You're kind of right but it was a bit of trolling to counter all the unnecessary hate low hairlines get.

    Matt Pokora: shitty french singer, amazing juvenile hairline by Armani, making many people jelly, lots of raging comments on french hair loss forums from the haters who failed to cath their hairloss early(this is not natural blah blah blah) Matthew McConnoghey: rumored. Amazing job if not a piece.

    If no, how long do you have to keep using it? I take 10mg a day, the acne breakout is bearable but I could go without it. I'm on pretty solid skincare regimen.

    I had a FUE a month ago and I'm a mma fighter/wrestler. The helmet is making things worse and the friction is insane, I stopped using it personnally and i've only been doing light drills.

    What explains a poor result?
  9. TheGman
    Thank you for the replies! And do you reckon hair straightening products can cause hair loss? Are there treatments that are known to be more/less dangerous to our precious hair?

    Men who don't have the MPB gene show no recession at all, does Bill Clinton look like an alien with his NW0? This, on the other hand, makes absolutely no sense: Spex has a very natural looking minor recession if it's about saving some grafts:
  11. TheGman
    I never understood why any hairline would be age innapropriate. You are balding or you are not balding. The only unnatural thing is straight hairline that start on a giant forehead. If you want to save some grafts, do like Spex, make a little natural looking recession.

    I have almost nothing left to shed now, at day 25, and the hair looks worst than ever. I wish I could shave it down to even it out but Muzaffer told me to avoid using a blade or a trimmer for 3 months, and I've seen even longer recommendations. Your results are already satisfying to me at 5.5 months, I asked for a dense packing too, I was told that it could be risky and that the Doctor would try to make it as dense as possible, using mostly triples. He then told me I had many doubles triples and some 4's but I don't know if what I received is a dense packing.

    Check out my Dr. Demirsoy operation thread, any criticism is welcome, if the result isn't what I hoped, I'll go to the most expensive doc for some repair or at least get a SMP for fuller effect: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/184082-fue-dr-demirsoy-20-07-2016-a.html He does have some very good reviews on Alopezie, the German hairloss board, but also some very dissapointing. Some of his stuff is on par with the top docs, some seems low-cost, it's very strange. Once again, I picked him because he offered me the perfect date, by chance, and I would have had to wait for another year as a balding shadow of what I should be, had I picked Erdogan or Feriduni. We will see.

    Just went to Dr.Demirsoy 24 days ago. I had the same hesitation as you and frankly I picked Demirsoy because he was available right at the beginning of my 45-day holiday I could have spent three times as much. I would have chosen Erdogan based on result consistency, but finding the perfect timing is also key. We will see if I was right in 6 months...

    Thanks bro, not at all, it's just the transplant growing out. The temples do look more sparse than the new hairline I'm a bit worried about that!

    I was back doing very light work at day 19, with a rugby helmet, did bump my head a few times but it was nothing hard. The shedding started on day 21, as I resumed minox applications. Crazy dandruff as well. I'll stay extremely cautious until day 45. Scalp itches like crazy I'm losing my mind. See my headgear full of dandruff and short hairs: Day 11, with most of my grafts: Day 22 the slow descent
  17. TheGman
    Shedding has accellerated, big time. It reminds me of when I started minoxidil 8 years ago, and it obviously started when I resumed minox. My wrestling headgear. I have started training very lightly, doing drills only, trying not to use my head even if it should be fine. After having rubbed the hair a little, the peeling is surprising me and I wasn't expecting that.

    3 weeks update: The shedding has started, slowly, but undeniably, and it seems that the inside of the temples is much more sparse than the rest, on both sides. I'm looking at my early pictures and they already look sparse, I hope I had already lost some hairs with the scabs, or that the double and triples will make it look fine as it grows. The crown area. I will most likely get a SMP next summer, seems like the best idea. Worried about having to stop minox again I might hop on the oral minox bandwagon for a month when I have to stop for the SMP! What do you reckon?

    I hate my curly hair, and I got this HT with the hope to have a decent straight haircut like I did a few years ago. I know some products are harsh on the scalp(I'll avoid them) and that straightening causes some hairs to break (that's okay). The idea to have my first few hairs grow even frizziers than the others doesn't appeal to me at all. My very first idea is to straighten all of that as soon as the density is acceptable, if my HT was a decent success, by month 6 or 7. What's your take on this?
  20. TheGman
    My surgeon (Dr.Demirsoy) told me to avoid razors and trimmers for 3 months, only use scissors on the recipient area. I read to wait for a full year. It's a pity I'd rather have spent a few months clean shaven to stop freaking out and enjoy a homogenous growth when the time has come.
  21. TheGman
    No trace of redness at all I'm very lucky indeed, if your skin is dark and oily you could enjoy the same thing. The inside of the temples already looks quite sparse I hope it won't show when it grows out and I can't afford to lose many grafts as they regrow. Hopefully the fact that the doctor picked mostly doubles and triples will make it look dense.
  22. TheGman
    Very good result so far, excellent hairline design. I went to Dr.Demirsoy 19 days ago hope things go as well.
  23. TheGman
    Day 19: my scalp is peeling, flakes all over. Hopefully it's not the baby shampoo I picked.

    I work in a night-club on week-ends and I resumed this activity this weekend. It's impossible to tell I had a HT and everyone is surprised to see me with a buzzcut. People want to touch my hair and try my cap it's driving me MAD. A girl rubbed my left temple in my donor area quite hard and it's been worrying me ever since. The shed hasn't started yet (day 18).

    I just had a FUE HT two weeks ago. The hair greed is already manifesting itself. I'm not sure I'd be ready to go through another operation soon. A HT in a thinning area is quite a gamble and I like the idea to just drive to Milan for 5 hours and leave the next day with my results and no post-op restrictions. I've seen some amazing SMP's into the crown for guys with longer hair here. No shedding, no shockloss, it almost sounds too good to be true. It would enable me to ditch the concealers. It seems to me that HT's are mandatory to rebuild the hairline and create a bit of volume at the front, but if your hairloss is moderate at the back, a SMP is a better pick. What do you guys reckon?
