Holy shit man you're legit a norwood 0 now LOL. These pictures show it all. Is there any product in your hair in this pic? Gel? wax? or is it able to just stay up like that on its own with its density now?

Lolol i really hope so. If my results are amazing I wouldnt not mind being in his youtube video at all! @Melvin-Moderator

I've been very interested to hear from guys who use HIMS, what's the monthly cost if you don't mind me asking?

No problem! I currently pay 20$ per month for 30 days worth of finasteride

Hello all just wanted to gather anyones experience if I should use conditioner after shampooing on the recipient area after an FUE. I am 3 months post op and was wondering if its recommended. I've actually never used conditioner on my hair prior because I don't like how it makes your hair appear thinner due to basically adding oil to your scalp. However, I did notice I do have some dry skin / flaking on my recipient area at 3 months post op.

Its hard to say if I noticed any enhancements. I don't think anyone on finasteride will be able to honestly tell you if they've noticed significant gains from it unless they had exessive hairloss and you can visibly tell the difference but for a norwood 2/3 it would be hard to tell and I am a norwood 2.5 i'd say. I take 10,000 mcg biotin, 5000 IU vitamin D, and a ZMA pill

@Russ thanks! I have started 1 mg fin from HIMs since last October so i've been on it for about 11 months now. I take it first thing when i wake up every day

hey man thats a lot of baby hairs coming in youre actually exactly where im at right now to be honest so we gotta trust the process!

Whats the benefits of regenepure shampoo? Have seen it being mentioned around but just curious. I as well have been sticking to just johnsons baby shampoo daily post op now at 3 months. Do you have a lot of dry flakes or possible dandruff? 

Wow very nice. Looks like your hairline was lowered by 2 inches wouldn't you say? Impressive. I think mine was about a 1 inch lower if you follow my thread. @m0dthispny

Crazy transformation man @m0dthispny. I was wondering if you had any more before surgery pics  like how your hair was other than your first post in this thread which perhaps didnt provide the best angle. Was just curious to get a better idea from where you started

Hey guys this was taken at 2 months and 3 weeks. I definitely have a lot of growth happening thin and peach fuzz growing especially on the corners and sides of the hairline. Looks very promising honestly. Middle of the hairline isnt seeing as much peach fuzz but Im sure it will come in within the next month for sure. Exciting times are ahead I hope! :))))

3 months post op with Diep at the moment and I am pretty satisfied thus far. Growth slowly and surely coming in. You can check out my thread

No injection for swelling, seems pointless to me. Just got the a-cell and amnio fill.

I am having FUT with Dr. Diep in a few weeks and have been offered three options about which I will appreciate any feedback. These options are:
1. Injection of high dose corticosteroid to reduce swelling

2. ACell injection

3. Amniofill

My hunch is that Amniofill is for FUE donor area and perhaps irrelaevant. I have gotten corticosteroid shots a number of times for poison oak and seasonal allergies. They were always effective and caused no problems. I am not sure about the ACell. I have an area of thinning that still produces long hair that light can shine through and I am thinking that he may suggest ACELL there in lieu of graft. 

Again, all comments are welcome. 

My thinking is if you’re already paying so much for the HT with Diep why not pay a tiny bit more to potentially optimize results? I had my FUE with Diep 2 months ago and had amnio and aCell added for $1000

@baldlivesmatter ridiculous result brother. How dense would you say your hairline is at this stage now? Compeltely satisfied?

I've saw many people sharing their 12 month progress via various manufacturer of generic finasteride on reddit. For getting a different manufacturer just tell your local pharmacy you get it from to order from a different manufacturer specifically for you and they will oblige with no issues. If you look on your bottle you were dispensed from CVS it will tell you what manufacturer you received. Do you happen to know what it is ? If you have Dr. Reddys you may be in the clear from the shedding but another 2 manufacturers im aware of you may wanna switch from

Mate @hairlossPA you should really be educated about what generic finasteride manufacturer you take. There have been cases that particular manufacturers that CVS/Walgreens dispense are known to cause an unknown amount of excess shedding at any given time during therapy.

Hey man dont worry at all. Im certain you shouldnt notice any tubble at month 2 as that is the peak of the ugly duckling phase from what most people experience

Sorry, which manufacturer of finasteride were you using again? Dr. Reddys?

Man it feels like just yesterday I followed your thread on the day of your surgery and  you're already pleased with your results at 6 months. Makes me excited and nervous at the same time. In 2 days will be my 2 month post op and man this has really been testing my patience. Maybe I should stop looking in the mirror. I am sitting like an ugly duckling right now lolol. But yeah man I'm so glad I've been able to start lifting again. I took off like 7 weeks after the HT to be absolutely sure I'm safe from working out. Now that I'm easing back into my regime again im feeling confident again =]

what exact brand shampoo do you guys use? @Curlinginthesquatrack @fortuneplant @Legend007

Is the picture taken immediately after using both shampoo and conditioner? @Legend007. Personally i stopped using conditioner because I noticed it make your hair appear very oily and much thinner personally idk. If so, im curious what it looks like post just shampoo

Month 3 already man time flies. You must be in the growing stages now

2 months update 

is there any growth they we're seeing here or is this just your old transplanted hairs that grew back?

Just wanted to ask everyone to poll when they gained their normal sensation in the donor area, top of the scalp post hair transplant? Just curious when I should be expecting a return of full sensation to the areas, thanks
