Thanks Bill for your honest, unbiased answer! Any doctors that specialize in BHT that I could ask, I am curious about my long term options. Any reccomendations?

splitting hairs, thanks you for your response. I guess more specifically I am asking if Propecia makes BHTs even LESS effective because they stop body hair from growing. Is propecia a further hindrance to a BHT post-transplant?

I dont understand, I know BHT is used as a last resort. However, I have read that Propecia can STOP BHT's from being effective. So the questions is simple: POST - BHT, continue Propecia/Rogaine or discontinue? Please let us focus on this specific topic, rather than delve into the effectiveness of BHTs in general. Thanks gentlemen.

What about Neosporin on the Recipient site Bill?

How long after a HT can you shave your head again, with a razor?

Is there a place we can go to see how hairlines look at certain densitys? For example 35/sq cm vs. 50/sq cm vs. 70/sq cm???? Or does anyone have pictures they can show us?

Thanks Bill, I understand. I asked another question under the title "Shaved Head Advice", pertaining to the shadow that those of us who shave our heads have. Can you offer any advice for that?

Since shaving thickens the hair, does it mean that the donor area will provide for coverage. In other words: 3,000 grafts shaved head > 3,000 grafts regular My hair feels really coarse and thick when it is not shaved, I hope it means a greater appearance of a full head of hair. Any experiences or thoughts?

I see what you are saying. But I dont think that much hair is needed to achieve the actual shadow. I have parts of my head, ie. a patch in the front, and still has a shadow even though it is going to be gone soon. I am wondering if the early sprouting in months 2/3 will achieve the shadow. Even though the hair would be thin.

Bump. Nothing? Come on I know I am not the only one who is wondering about this!!

SHADOW! Perfect word BALDIE. That is what BALDIE and I want to know, how long before we can get the SHADOW of restored hair. Not the density/volume, just the SHADOW! HELP!

Thank you guys for the response, but I think I did not make it clear enough. First, I would be getting a FUE procedure, so the strip scar is not a concern. http://z.about.com/d/menshair/1/0/3/1/-/-/bald6.jpg Here is Bruce Willis, assuming he shaves his head bald with a razor. The top of his head looks like he doesn't ever grow hair, the sides look a different shade because he still grows hair. I am curious, at what point will it look on top, as it does on the sides. Or atleast, when will the contrast decrease. So, when where there be evidence that hair DOES grow on the top part of the head, even if it is not thick or full.

Those of you who completely shave their heads BEFORE HT, with a razor, any advice for me? When do you start shaving again AFTER HT? When does the contrast between your "bald" area and your hair area disappear or lessen? This is what I am most interested in. I hope you understand my question. When we shave our heads, it is clear (to us) where are hair starts and stops, because of the contrast with the bald-bald area (the top) and the hair-shaved bald area (the sides) Anything?

I see, maybe I will ask my doctor about it if I decide to get one. What about Neosporin? About 10-15 days after the surgery. It is meant to speed up recovery, it seems logical to me that it would help with redness as well?

sea of possibilities, what is the lotion called, and how is it different from typical rogain/propecia. I am thinking about getting an HT. Also, was is prescribed by your HT surgeon, or a regular doctor.

Any other advice guys?

Thanks Bill! How visible are the "spots" from the donor area of a FUE HT?

Thank you, but for tanning, i meant BEFORE i went in for the surgery, certainly not after.

Hi Guys I am thinking about going in for a FUE HT. Although I have many concerns, my current one is this. REDNESS! I am middle eastern, so i have a fairly light complexion. However, I shave my head completely, with a razor. I plan to take a month off from work. I wonder if I can tan my head, to reduce the appearance of redness. ANY SOLUTIONS WILL HELP! Any guidance at all please. I have considered the following: 1. Tanning 2. Neosporin on recipient after the HT 3. Tea-tree oil??? 4. Lotion What do you guys think!!!
