Full coverage really Melvin. But seems from the replies that its not realistic so ill scrap the FUE idea. I'll wait till hair cloning technology finally becomes mass market. Its my only hope at this point.

Thanks. In that case ill leave everything as is. Not interested in a FUT and dont want to be doing more procedures later on in life. Wanted a "one-and-done" procedure. Guess ill have to wait until hair cloning becomes a reality, whenever that is.

I tried the Liquid Sam.

Hi! 36 y.o I think I am a Norwood 6. Lost my hair when I was around 20 y.o. Don't know if I have much more hair to lose at this point. Never really took any medication or anything for my hair loss as the sides are just too scary. Did a small 3-4 week period with Mixoydl but I got extremely flaky skin to the point it was embarrassing to go to work as it looked like severe dandruff so stopped that. Am comfortable as a badlie and do a full blade shave every morning however I know I will look much better with hair. Would consider an FUE in the future and would continue shaving my hair for the entire first year post-op. Have read good things about Dr. Pekiner in Ankara, Turkey and would probably go with him. Any opinions?

Hi all Thanks for your response and glad that this post also helped others with the same question. I will ultimately ask the doctor I go see but wanted to know from people with 1st hand experiences and i thank you again for sharing those. I have for years shaved my head with a regular Gillette Mach 3. I used to buzzcut it with a balding clipper that goes down to almost the skin but found it pretty convenient & much quicker with the Mach 3 blade. As i already shave my head, not bothered as I have less hair than I have now post-op for a few months as it wont really show that much but yeah, good to keep in mind

Thanks Baldrick! Could I potentially shave my head after 4 weeks though?

Hi all! Quick introduction. Im a 32 year old bald guy. Norwood 5. I head a head a head full of thick hair till about age 21 and in the span of 1-year lost the majority of it. Ive buzzcut or shaved my head every since so most of my friends & work colleagues in the past 10 years have known me as a shaved head guy. I'm completely comfortable with being bald and moved on long ago from that dark period post hair loss. the shaved head look doesnt suit me so much since I have a wierd shaped cranium however its the best option I have available to me. Lately my friend had a very successful FUE with a random, little known doc in Turkey and has got me interested in having the procedure done too. My main concern is the healing time as I do not want anyone to know ive had a procedure done.What I would like to do is return to shaving my head post-op for at least a year until I can let it grow in the knowledge that my hair will come back at its strongest as ive read it takes 12 months to see the full result of an FUE op. My question is therefore at what stage can I return to shaving my head without damaging the newly inserted hairs? I would also be interested to know how red my scalp will be as like I said, I do not want anyone to know I have had anything done. Lastly, approximately how much time will I need to take off work to allow my scap to heal post op since I know during this delicate stage I cant be touching my scalp, especially not shaving. Thanks in advance! Wish you all a good day
