    Thanks Melvin, keep up the good work

    Thank you it was only recently I learned I could present my result slightly differently
  3. Craig2412
    Your welcome mate and thank you.
  4. Craig2412
    Yeah his a good mate of mine and he was the one who showed me how to do a video. I’m not too familiar with Céline Dion songs! He actually got his transplant once he see mine come through

    18 Month Final Result As I’ve just reached my final result and this will probably be one of my last posts for now for my hair transplant journey, I thought I would do something a little different and put a short video together to show my result. Thanks again to all the people who gave feedback on my thread, HRN and @Melvin-Moderator for helping me along the way. Has been a truly life changing experience and couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t change a thing and so happy I choose Asmed. Link to the video:

    I’m from the UK and ordered mine on Amazon. Your probably find you can’t actually do that many mins as the bandana/cap used to leave a tan line across my forehead.

    My clinic instructed 6 months for both sun or sunbed but every clinic post op instructions vary. The only instruction I didn’t follow to the letter was the sun bed. I think I waited between 8 or 12 weeks before having a stand up again but I always wore a bandana with a cap over the top to protect my scalp and had less minutes too.

    Thanks Kruchie, appreciate the compliment. Without doubt the single best thing I’ve ever done by far. I feel the difference within myself too and has improved so many different aspects of my life. I still smile everyday straight after styling my hair when I see it in the mirror. I had a photo today outside at the funfair and shows the hairline at a very short distance.
  9. Craig2412
    Thanks man, happy growing 👍🏻
  10. Craig2412
    No worries your welcome. I’m sure your end up just as happy as me. Good luck and I’ll keep an eye out on your progress. Just seen your thread and works looks super clean. I’ve got a feeling your end up very happy, like the temple work too.

    Lol that made me laugh. Hope you’ve been good? Thank you

    Sorry I’ve only replied, I haven’t been using this forum much at all recently. I only use a sebamed shampoo which the clinic gave me to begin with and it’s not expensive either. I’ve stuck with that ever since. Regarding styling I don’t use anything fancy at all. I use a cheap tub of wax which I get from my barbers. It’s wax but also has a slight wet feel/look to it. For me styling my hair doesn’t take long at all and it looks better depending how good I blow dry and brush my hair backwards. I’ll brush and use the hair dryer at the same time to follow through where I’m brushing and then literally apply some wax to slick back and hairspray. I always use my bigger brush first while my hair is wet then use the smaller brush once my hair is dry. I’ve attached my products and this is my hair after a recent haircut as it got pretty long on time. I find the current length makes it easier for me to style too. Hope this helps.

    Thank you mate, appreciate your feedback. I‘m going to give it a go and if I notice any shedding I’ll stop instantly.
  14. Craig2412
    Won’t take you long to get back where you was Melvin. You always look bulky in the videos, arms especially! Thanks I’ll post an update soon but not much has changed really since the last few updates 😊
  15. Craig2412
    Thanks man. I was working from home and really struggled at first. But as soon as I went on furlough I was loving it. I started buying and selling Carrera push bikes and made a killing. It has kept me busy and can potentially earn more money in an hour then sitting at my desk for the whole week. That’s partly why I’ve hardly been using this forum where I haven’t had time. Our barbers opened nearly a week ago so that’s nice too but got to wait another 2 weeks for gym to reopen yet. How’s it been for you? Didn’t the easing of restrictions happen quiet early compared to the UK?
  16. Craig2412
    Thanks @Melvin-Moderator I’ll use the tub and see what happens. I know already if I notice any kind of shedding I’ll stop instantly but as you say if the gains are minimal I won’t keep taking it anyway. I’m happy where I’m at but you know what it’s like always wanting to push that bit more. This was around 15months under the sun light but a dodgy lockdown haircut!
  17. Craig2412
    @Melvin-Moderator I brought some creatine this morning and this will be the first time I use it. I’ve seen in your video you don’t advice to take it. Do you think someone would be ok to take it if on fin? I would like to try it but at the same time my hair is more important to me and wouldn’t want to jeopardise how far I’ve come with my hair. If any other guys have experience with creatine then please chip in.
  18. Craig2412
    This looks unreal already and only 6months. Congratulations
  19. Craig2412
    Oh cool, I take a look at your thread now. It’s good you’re happy. I think sometimes a lot of the happy Asmed patients just get overlooked on here recently. Thank you mate, I’m over the moon with it. Oh really my coordinator was Suzanna and we’re still in contact. I wonder if you could switch to her as she is brilliant. So just my personal preference but I use Finasteride 1mg daily and kept the clinics supply of Proscar for back up. I order it from Lloyd’s pharmacy online usually but for my next order I think I may use Dr Fox as I see they’re charging around £70 for 6 months I think. Lloyd’s is around £130/£140 so will deffo research next time and order from the most reputable cheapest place. And thank you again, I’ve said many times before but the hair transplant has been the best thing I’ve ever done. Your results look great by the way from the photos you’ve posted. Your hair loss doesn’t look that apparent but you can see how much your hairline has been lowered and looks natural and thick.
  20. Craig2412
    Congratulations man, your hair looks great it looks pretty thick at that length too.
  21. Craig2412
    Keep doing what you do Melvin, you do a fantastic job with the forum and play a major part in making it what it is. I think the vast majority of members would agree too. You’ve always given me honest and great advice.
  22. Craig2412
    Thanks man, all three are outside but the first 2 are under direct sun light. Not one person has ever suspected I’ve had a transplant who didn’t know me before.
  23. Craig2412
    Thank you, appreciate the kind words. Mate I’m over the moon and so so happy. As I’ve said before best decision I ever made in my whole life getting a hair transplant and choosing Asmed.
  24. Craig2412
    Oh yeah I forgot to mention earlier but not bad for a downhill overpriced hairmill clinic. So grateful I choose these guys.
  25. Craig2412
    Haha no worries Melvin. At 14 months I’m coming towards the end of my journey for my first transplant but I would like to thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into this forum. I said recently, but if it wasn’t for this forum there’s no way I would have been this happy or got this result even, as I would have got a hair transplant closer to home where the standards are less high.
