    Very nice nature looking results, nice work!

    Not “proven” scientifically but personally anecdotally for me, MSM & Biotin supplements, also a scoop or two of collagen peptide powder in a shake or with some orange juice daily, and nightly scalp massages..

    Looks normal ....Still early in the game.

    Hey man, I haven’t been on the forum much lately but just saw your previous updates and I do see some improvement and your donor looks good in your last photos. That said, you likely have another 4-10 months of the current transplanted hair to mature and thicken more so...so I definitely have to agree with @BjornBorg’s comment above....wait a bit more, save up money to go to a different surgeon that can maximize your limited grafts better to give you the results you hope for....don’t rush it.

    A truly amazing result/transformation, congrats man, happy for you!
  6. CosmoKramer
    Great info. The Doc sounds pretty ethical as well as producing stellar results.

    Wow! Hair looks great man!...from the Sept Pics it looks like a Christian Slater from the 90’s vibe as well, Ha! Nicely done by Dr Bloxham. And wow, already getting a 2nd, hair greed is most deff real...good luck!

    This looks fantastic, almost difficult to tell where your native hair is as it’s blended in really well! Best of luck with the progress this go! Keep updating! 👍🏻

    You’re welcome! Getting criticism from friends and family when simp tell them their HT plans usually is how it goes for mostly everyone..and yes, when they see the results looking good they almost always come around being more positive about it.

    Happy for you, Craig! Fantastic results, congrats man!
  11. CosmoKramer
    Hey man, good job on your write up, work looks clean and your progress seems to be just kicking off. Good luck!

    Hair is looking great @Melvin-Moderator! Are the scars visible at such a short cut, slightly yeah, if I’m being honest, but like you said it has to do with the color contrast between your hair and skin, and nothing that SMP couldn’t take care of. re: the ciaus’s comment above regarding the circled temple peaks ...hate to sound like a broken record...but microneedling + minox foam brought mine back, they were pretty receded prior...so I would give that a try with either the dermaroller or pen.
  13. CosmoKramer
    Progress is still looking good, plenty more time to go for you.

    Great results for 9 + months man! coverage and hairline shape imho looks pretty natural and your donor looks fantastic. I had similar Norwood to yours and about the same amount of grafts done as well. Regarding sandalore, a few questions...do you place it into Minox liquid?... If so, how much of it do you mix in?... Any concerns that since it’s a synthetic oil that it may have detrimental systemic side effects with long term use?...And have you noticed any side effects or improvement from it?

    I stopped Finasteride 1 month after my HT, Fin didn’t have much of a side effect in regards to ED but it definitely felt like it was messing with my mood, memory, mental clarity. I am considering giving a diy topical fun solution a go as it should be less be less systemic.

    Personally, I’m very happy I went through with it all, especially when I look back at saved photos I took from 10 years ago but much more significantly, photos from even just 3 years ago. Is it perfect with perfect dense density, no, but that is just the limitations of ones donor and hair characteristics. Good poll subject @Melvin-Moderator!

    Personally, I feel very happy having gone through this process, my self confidence is way up all due to having stopped dwelling daily on my hair or lack there of, and the dread I felt of having to be sure to wear a baseball hat every time I stepped out in public and all the anxiety that came with being in social situations. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
  18. CosmoKramer
    I see nice progress from your previous month...and just looked at your before photo in your first post, wow! You look like you went from looking 45 years of age to now looking like your actual age. 👍🏻

    I’m willing to bet Biden’s team is using hair fibers, white hair color ones on him, some days his hair looks much fuller and “maintained” other times it looks extremely obviously sparse.
  20. CosmoKramer
    This is a great result especially the crown, congrats! Curious, do you have on any hair fibers or concealer in the last 2 photos?
  21. CosmoKramer
    This is what my hair looked like longer back this past April before I cut it short...don’t mind the crazy device, was testing out a relatives device for skin, to see if it helped with my forehead wrinkles lol.
  22. CosmoKramer
    Yes, I noticed lots of stubbly new hairs growing and they feel and look as if they are getting to be more terminal than vellus, so I’m happy with that and just 2 months being able to regain some progress after a bad few months of shedding, I’m encouraged and happy. My temporal peaks are still there and good, since I had a fade haircut and gave white/grey hairs on my sides the front photo doesn’t show them well but I found an older photo from a few years ago and it’s definitely a big improvement.

    Update: So, it’s been about 2 months since I switched up my routine (1-2x a week microneedling/nightly scalp massage with electric massager/Minox Foam 1x nighly), thought I’d give an update on my progress. Ive come to believe that daily scalp massages truly help keep the scalp healthy, through better blood flow and circulation, bringing oxygenated blood to the follicles to help keep DHT at bay naturally, to help re invigorate hairs in the process of miniaturization, and keep dandruff flakes off the scalp from clogging follicles. The progress I lost A few months ago in my crown due to seasonal shedding (loosing about 50-109 hairs per day,m) and not doing microneedling as frequently as I did last year, did make my crown much more noticeable....BUT in these last 2 months, I feel I’ve regained the progress and I do attribute that more so to the scalp massages. I’m really happy with the progress and will continue this routine. Below photos: 1st is top-down Crown view with damp hair after a shower, I’m very bright harsh white led lit bathroom. 2nd is a bit closer. 3rd is just a selfie photo on the subway from the front, also bright harsh lighting.

    Hi Washing your hair 2x a day seems like overkill as it may strip your scalp and follicles of the natural oils that keep the hair strong and healthy but I wouldn’t say it would give you early hair loss unless you had an underlying condition, scalp or general health. Personally, I started Minox a month after my HT, which seemed fine.
  25. CosmoKramer
    Looks much much better with your new short haircut, not as obvious, hope you see more progress and density. 👍🏻
