Great posts, I will be following your journey here.

Should be a great turnout, everything looks as planned so far.

Depends on the package you choose, but even the highest package which is the one I’m choosing is cheaper than here in the states. But I really didn’t go based on cost, I wanted someone skilled at BHT. 

True that, but do you agree if i dont need a hairline design since i am only doing crown then 

the exclusive package should work? even at the highest level it is well worth it i agree

I’m from the Uk, and we don’t have any options I would consider. Not for using so much BHT especially. My choices are really Bisanga and Eugenix. I did have a consultation/plan but then covid hit. Now it’s becoming easier to travel but they have a waiting list. It’s ok though I’m not in any rush whatsoever. 
I’m looking forward to seeing @Melvin- Moderatorresult since he is choosing them for mostly beard grafts also. 

any idea how much approximately 2k grafts will cost? 

pm if you rather

I removed them from here many years ago. But for my 6th journey I will be posting it. I know @Gatsbyis considering them also. 
For FUE and In particular using Beard grafts I don’t know of anyone better 👍🏽

have you gotten a quote and/or a consultation yet?

would it still be cheaper than having it done in the state even with airfare hotels and a mini vacation?

As a Norwood 6 yes I did. And still will be choosing Eugenix for my 6th. I’m ok with pain tolerance 🤩

Im guessing your FUT is pretty good now ? Whereas mine needs a LOT of grafts (stretched) 

do you have any pics of your head anywhere on here? 

i also thought of Eugenix but I wouldnt go there alone..maybe we should get a few guys from here and make the trip? lol

i keep my sides and back at size 3-4 and the salon lady tells me its not noticable

the scar feels fine , i run my fingers through it all the time lol...like massaging it

About 6 years since my 5th procedure 🤣 but I still get itching etc.

damn, did you really need 5 procedures? or were some of these touch up or fixing the former?

you are  a brave man..how was the pain getting all those injections? i wanted to scream..i was actually feeling 

them implanting the hairs ...

I still switch between baby shampoo and nizarol depending on how my hair is. What works for you ? 

nothing yet....its not as bad as it sounds..i use anything from head and shoulders pantene 

and some very expensive shampoo from costco... how many months post OP are you?

So i had a year post OP appointment with Dr Diep (a year and a half after OP) 

he said my crown is a bit thin, i will provide pics later and that he suggested some A-cell 

shots.. i might take him up on that , he didnt mention another procedure but i did ask 

how many grafts it would be to fill the crown.. he suggested another FUT if that is the case..

i would probably prefer FUE and at the same time cover up the scar..he went off on like a 3rd procedure ..i swear he already knows what he wants to do with me and there is no changing his mind

...i asked him for repeat customer discount he said $500 off (LOL) : P

anyway we are looking at 1500-2000 grafts to fill the crown but i am not sure i can endure another 

procedure...maybe if he puts me to sleep i might do it.. 

i do want to say though FUE is probably less invasive and less painful? you guys that did both can chime in on it... 

ewww i zit up like crazy...drove me nuts..

i still get itches here and there, especially near scar area..

is that normal? i do wash my hair daily as it gets oily..

i try like 5 different shampoos ..

@CahustlerThanks for the update 🙏 sorry to hear that you have had another issue to deal with 😞

yeah cant help with old age : )

One of the reason I have not been active is because I had to tackle another problem..

I just had cataract surgery in one eye and I am a little disappointed in the result..

my vision was not the best these past years..

if anyone here has recently done Cataract surgery or going to have it done soon please chime in

i stopped all minoxidil and never even tried the dutasteride that the doctor prescribed.

so i use nothing on my hair currently.

I hadnt cut the front of my hair since the HT...its so long dangling in my eye that it turned wavy lol

want to say hi to everyone and I would be willing to answer any questions and my honest opinion on my personal procedure and journey

i will have a 18-19 months update soon...i will dye my hair this or next week..

here are a couple i just took after waking up

Steveee

Hahaha it's all good guys, I was actually reading through both your threads over the last few weeks to get a better idea of what I was signing up for. I had put the dating game on hold for a little when California shut back down, I'm hoping to be back at it better than ever in a few months!

Realistically about 8 months but sooner with Dermatch or similar products , unless you are one of those freaks that grows in 5-6 months

Just outta shower

Yeah in 2 days it will be 1 year post op. I’ll try to update some stuffs

I’ll move to my thread, if Melvin can move some of this to my thread instead. Sorry to hijack this

That’s some funny shit! As long as they don’t start pulling your hair in the bedroom you will be good 😆

The goal is for me to be pulling her hair right? Lmao 😂

Bro Ca Hustlers what did I tell you! You went MIA for a while. I figure you got kidnap from a crazy tinder swipe. Your hair looks fantastic btw. It’s crazy how much a full head of hair changes your life. Makes you want to go out more and live your best life.  Dr Diep is the real deal. That one guy who is as freaking out and tarnishing Dieps name after a few months needs to come out and admit he was a little dramatic with all the negativity. Melvin should use Cahustler as another home run.  This is incredible! 

I won’t hijack this post but I want to add that I used to be so worried about my hair on a date, hit the bathroom and do a come over and hope it isn’t freaking windy. Now I’m seeing a gal in SF and it’s always windy there and I just run my fingers through my hair and wing it 😂 something like that

Looks very good so far! Just make sure you stay safe at home for the first 10 days. The scar area always looks worse the first month but it will heal great. Just avoid any extreme head movements and heavy lifting. Dr Diep has been producing incredible results so get ready for a really nice frame and thick head of hair. I will love to see your progress 

Good to see you’re still around Mr Sky

This was yesterday . Love the feeling of brushing through the hair with my fingers lol 😂 yes my own freaking hair

I don’t care what anyone says about some of the negativity but I’m almost a year in and boy I’m getting dates left and right now and I’m about the meet the “one” feel free to pm me for any questions . @Skybyou were right on about the dating apps swiping right a lot more now than a year ago 😂 

Never heard of Layrite.

will check it out
