5 Month Pictures

I'm now 5 months so more pictures attached (same light but this time with better resolution camera). My hair had just been washed with baby shampoo and towell tried only. It does look better hair dryed and with styling products, happy to post pictures that way if anyone wants them. I would appreciate some feedback as to how things are looking, some days I'm very happy and optimistic and then some days it's the opposite! I feel I didn't shed that much so maybe that's way I'm not seeing that much new growth but I could be wrong and possibly I just can't see it. Thank you

Thanks, I will! Hope yours goes well and your happy with the result!

Thanks Bill. I'm definitely happy with the progress of the front and left hand side but still a but worried about the right side and mid portion but I guess it's still too early to be concerned? They put less grafts and less density in the mid section so guess this but may take longer to come through.

Some more pictures I've only shaved the sides so not touched the top as yet

Thank you, I'm just my result it at least average! I've attached my 4 months update, things seem to be improving which is a good sign! My front tuft is definitely thicker and my left hand side (which had no hair at all) is my pretty good but the other side hasn't improved much as far as I can tell. It's the same with the mid portion, it's difficult to tell if any improvements as yet as had existing hair there. I never used to be able to towell dry my hair, always had to use a hairdryer and products to make it look it. I can get away without them on a day to day basis so again think that's a good sign! Should I expect more at four months?

Haha thank you! It's just a hair product called evo salty dog spray, it gives my hair a nice texture!

Hi, As the title really, is it ok for occasional use (weekends) of salt spray and hair spray when I'm 4 months post op without causing any damage to newly growing hairs? Cheers

No problem, I'm 4 months in 5 days so will post another update soon!

I tried to do them under a bright light!

1 Month Pictures

Hi, I had surgery with Dr Resul Yaman on 20th January 2017 I'm 35 years old I had 3150 grafts; 640 single 1730 double 780 multiple Pre Op Photos Below

Thank you all. Difficult to say if that have made any difference, its just I hate taking supplements etc (no rational reason why) but think I'll keep them up until at least 6 months Cheers

Thank you both for your replies

Hi, I'm just over 3 months post HT and currently taking 10,000mcg and MSM. How long should I continue taking the high doses? Cheers

Thank you, very reassuring!

Thank you all, you have put my mind at rest!

Didn't take any photos but can do but definitely didn't get burned, no soreness or redness that I can notice. Cheers

Thank you, I was getting myself all worked up about it!

Hi, I probably have post transplant paranoia but do I need to be concerned about being in the sun for a short time? I'm just over 2 months post op and spent 10 minutes walking to train station and another few minutes walking to shops before I remembered panicked and bought a hat! The sun is quite strong today, well for the UK in March anyway! The Uv levels were 3 I think! Cheers

Hi, I'm 2 months post op and seem to have kept a good portion of my transplanted hair and it's grown with my native hair. Before I get too excited, is it still possible for it to shed after 2 months? I'm also seeing small tiny hairs but can't work out if it's new growth or transplanted hair that's broken off from the follicle but still hanging around! Cheers

Thanks for your reply. Does minoxidill only grow miniaturised hairs and help maintain my existing non transplanted hair which both could shed if I stop it? Is it practical to apply twice a day without greasing hair? It will be easy as the minute as it's shaved but thinking six months down the line when I have a decent head of hair!

Hi, I'm considering minoxidill and I've just had hair transplant but got some questions if anyone can help; If I stop if, could my existing or newly transplanted hair shed or just what it's grown? Is the side effect of a bloated face rare? The surgeon recommended the foam rather than the liquid. I assume it goes away fairly quickly once you stop it? Thank you in advance!

Thank you all for your replies! Can I take biotin, MSM and Folic Acid together or is it one or the other? Cheers
