  1. First attempt with the thickening conditioner, wax, and a hair dryer. Still need to work on the method but I think improved
  2. The difference is amazing. Amazon is delivering the wax and I'll post a picture.
  3. Thanks! I'm coming up on the year mark and am trying to decide on doing the crown. I like being able to go as short as I do on the sides as it slims up my roundish face, but have been told the second surgery usually leaves a bigger scar.
  4. Thanks for the feedback...and I agree. I comb it wet, using Rogaine foam as the holding agent. I then let it dry; followed by brushing it out to break up the clumps. I still get the bunched hairs and see through to the scalp. I've thought of going shorter again to try to get better shingling. What wax do you use? I'll try it and take pictures.
  5. Did you do anything for scalp laxity and how is tightness now? I have this irrational fear that me hairline gets pulled higher and higher with each strip removed from the donor area. Kinda like a facelift from the back
  6. Was the strip taken from the same area so it included the first FUT scar? I'm considering going for a second surgery to do the crown...but the doctor indicated that the scar would be larger on a second round. Excited to follow your progress and hope the best for you!
  7. 9 months update. Haven't had a cut in the last two months. Letting it grow until I have to go back to work in April, just to see what it looks like longer. Well, if I start dating again I may get a cut 😉
  8. It really looks like you're getting some growth. The daily checking is both impossible to avoid and torture. Give it two more months and you'll have enough growth that this time will be a distant memory. Happy growing!
  9. I was worried about stretched scar at about the same point (and from the same dr ;-)), but it was just shockloss. It will fill in, but it takes about 6 weeks.
  10. Here we go...month 7. I had my checkup with Dr Alexander and he is very pleased with the result...as am I. Random items: I found out that of the 3200 grafts, ~2200 were doubles I'm back on Finasteride for over a month now. So far so good. Still on Rogaine from the beginning The scar is still really good. I hope it continues to fade, but I've done haircuts as low as 2.5 and the grain of the hair is only a slight giveaway I asked Dr Alexander when we could do the crown and he wants another check up at the year mark. I don't see much difference other than length in the past two months. I hope to get more thickness for the next few months, but am happy and leaning heavily to doing the crown next year. I'm curious about cutting the top shorter. I am definitely getting the combover look on the crown and up top when my hair is wet. I typically comb my hair wet and then wait 20 minutes for it to dry and brush it out.
  11. I stopped for two months as I was having really bad anxiety...which we couldn't determine was quarantine, working from home, or the fin. I'm back on fin now for two weeks and we'll see what happens. Fingers crossed
