  1. 9 Month update Well folks it’s been a pretty stressful couple of weeks hair progress wise . On the strength of a friends recommendation I decided to try “ Just for Men” grey reducing hair dye shampoo ..please to all members avoid at all costs ..long story short i lost a large number of grafts after my first application..could see a wet ponytail like clumb of grafts in the shower cubicle after the washing out of the shampoo ( you’ve to leave in for 2 mins ) it was almost tear inducingly stressful . It wreaked havoc across my scalp with grafts lost in hairline and mid scalp .. The Doc has assured me the lost grafts will grow back ..Ive been an Anagen desynchroniser with my last 2 procedures normally around 10months so I’ll be under the gun over the next couple of months ..fingers crossed all will be ok 🤞 The pics attached are with hair crème applied no fibres but probably some of that Devils product darkish hue on board . Just haven’t the energy or headspace to write to the company and complain ..I’ve enough on my plate Karl
  2. for two thirds your way through your full restoration process you’re right on track ..I’d even say ahead of the curve right now ..beard looks untouched which is comfy to know ( as a donor source ) 👏👏
  3. The crown wasn’t exactly a huge area to at least sprinkle some grafts …this clinic is not to be considered if you’re anything over a NW 4 in my humble opinion .
  4. I have to say hair systems have come a very long way from what I can gather . A guy I know living Ireland has ruled out a HT due to his fear of flying and has had a hair system recently..it looks absolutely fantastic..totally undetectable and non “ that’s a rug “ like .. Each hair restoration route has their trade offs …systems have a more viable place nowadays if you ask me .
  5. Thanks mate ..I wouldn’t ordinarily of gone zero right up to the top of sides but like I said the barber just sheared it all off like I was a true NW 0 ..I normally leave it blended into around 3 at the higher end of sides to help camouflage some of the FUE scars ..which are very acceptable btw ..👍
  6. As always with you @MazAB…where do i ✍️ 😂…thanks mate ..I’m on it !!
  7. 8 month update Hi folks Delighted to report I’m enjoying what I believe will be my long term hairstyle into the future ..I’ve shelved the ponytail idea as the style I’m sporting now is proving so helpful in wiping out any weak areas in one sweep back motion . I use a hair crème which is what you see here ( no fibres at all ) …I got a zero right up to the top of each side of scalp last week ..the barber didn’t speak English and just gave me the style he has wearing which I love to be honest Ive dropped oral minoxidil due to too many heart palpitations..which I’m very frustrated about as it’s a wonder drug if you ask me . Ive enclosed an outdoor hairline pic again just crème product .. My eternal gratitude to everyone Involved in my restoration,Docs ,techs and indeed my esteemed forum members . Karl
  8. The FBI wouldn’t be able to detect a HT here bro…. The result almost induces a giggle it’s so goddamn majestic !! i know you’re thoroughly enjoying it too which makes it all the sweeter !
  9. Still another 20% to come to fruition and a 3 rd pass on the horizon ..holy cow !! 🐐🐐
  10. The scalp grafts only will make all the difference to the overall result .. Great point about head shape/size too ..you had some good fortune amongst the bad Ethan. Well played all .
  11. Brilllllliant result @Capelli21and no doubt will offer huge hope to others .
  12. Man o Man does it get any better than this !!…simply brilliant work .
  13. Give it 6 months .. the only shock you might experience is of how your donor recovered !!
  14. That’s a great perspective to have …it’s just when you’ve had no hair all your adult life it’s nice to you can take a few liberties here and there ,chuck it about a bit when you’ve gained most of it all back ..I can see myself settling back into short ,back n sides eventually…👍
  15. Cheers John ..let’s see how long I’ll last into this ponytail Journey …I’m told the growing out Stage can be just at tricky as an ugly duckling phase ( the waiting game all over again 🥲)… On the donor ….my advice to all you guys having a procedure or just completed one try not to properly evaluate donor until at least 6 months …and if at all doable ..get on oral minoxidil…Ive had to tolerate some quite scary palpitations at night time only but I’ve clung on to its use such is the difference I feel it’s made to the overall aesthetics of the result ..1.25mg at night seems to ensure that palpitations stop .
  16. 7 months update Hi All Im seriously thinking of growing out a ponytail to help fully close up crown hence the couple of pics attached with hair band to give a peek as to how things might look scraped back . Pics are 5 mins after shower with towel dry no product of any sort In hair ..just comb one indoor pic from behind in favourable lighting to show you how the beard grafts sit naturally without product One thing of note is I’ve stopped applying fibres over the last month . Just kind of happened organically such is the improvements I’m seeing I’m feeling confident enough to do this ..I’ll always have some in reserve though
  17. Quite remarkable John for a bona fide NW7 …delighted for you ..and much more to come
  18. This redemption couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke ..awe inspiring stuff .. And no other clinic on planet earth could have brought you to where you are now ..none !!
