  1. haha, i cant wait till 8 months though haha. Good luck on your procedure! The crown though is starting to be on my mind frequently..
  2. Update coming up in a couple of days. I have been getting random pimples and bumps (hair growing sign). Been getting compliments from a few people. Im getting hair, but still thin overall (only will be 3 months in a couple of days, and I understand the timeline, so not worried). Scalp is a little itchy, but not bad. Shampoo helps a lot. The biggest shock was compliments by my wife lol So pretty much happy. Will post pics once my update rolls in in 3-4 days.
  3. 1. I would get any Dove as long as its not 2 in 1 or any shampoo that has crazy amount of chemicals ,it should be fine. The one I got was anti itch Dove and anti itch conditioner, and works fine. 2, Im Indian descent, and know how long and annoying the visa process is, and I applied for the e medical visa which was answering questions online and getting approval within a week.
  4. in the past 75 days, I've had 3 pimples (that im aware), 2 on the donor, and this now lol How many pimples have you guys had, and when did the pimples stop? I understand why the pimples are formed sometimes.. just wondering, as I read people have multiple pimples at the same time, I hope that doesnt happen lol So tempted to pop it too.. smh
  5. You have that Dr Sethi Salt and Pepper on the beard. Just apply some powder like he does
  6. And also what do you tell your barber? Lol so far it’s been 2 months for me and at the 1 month mark, I got my wife to trim the donor sides to 4.8mm or 1.5 guard. My clinic said it’s ok to get it cut, wondering when others got it done at a barber and what did they disclose (do you tell them you had a transplant?)
  7. BTW, for those like me that are absolutely clue-less and overwhelmed by the info online, I'm gonna start using onion oil and pumpkin seed oil. Here are publication about it in relation to hair. Pumpkin seed oil: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24864154/ "After 24 weeks of treatment, self-rated improvement score and self-rated satisfaction scores in the PSO-treated group were higher than in the placebo group (P = 0.013, 0.003)." ------------------------------------------ Onion oil: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12126069/ "Re-growth of terminal coarse hairs started after two weeks of treatment with crude onion juice. At four weeks, hair re-growth was seen in 17 patients (73.9%), and, at six weeks, the hair re-growth was observed in 20 patients (86.9%) and was significantly higher among males (93.7%) compared to females (71.4%) P<0.0001."
  8. Same! I used to sleep on my stomach all the time and my sides. Try using 2 pillows with the neck pillow and spread out the pillows so your head can tilt back without touching the second pillow or headboard. Worked for me. it was a slightly different version of @Melvin- Moderator's video of how to sleep, but the video was my inspiration for sure, and made my sleeping with no issues.
  9. haha, yeah, I'm really glad and happy I chose the clinic properly. Really happy so far!
  10. Nice! you chose an amazing clinic. I also had those same techs haha. They were awesome and efficient. Now comes the hardest and most crucial part of the whole procedure, and thats spraying saline water every 2 hours for a week and sleeping with a neck pillow. only 5 more days, you got this!!
  11. Hell yeah! haha, just hoping it continues. So excited to have my first ' proper haircut' in a while.. lol But the crown is subconsciously on my mind haha. I wish I couldve gotten it done in one sitting, but I understand why I didnt. Bigger picture!!!
  12. Hopefully! fingers crossed! and then I can make plans to head out to India asap for the crown! Thank you! I was going over the pre-op pics vs 1 month vs 2 month, the growth has been real nice so far. So hopefully it continues!! fingers crossed!
  13. hahah would love to have @Bandit90 's growth! Thanks Zee! Here's to more growing! Appreciate it brotha! Thanks Maverick! Hope it all goes smoothly with no issues!
  14. Hey all! So it has been 2 months since my surgery! Eugenix reached out for detailed pics of my scalp and stated all is good. Growth wise, I guess its better than pre surgery.. way too soon to judge. Currently, I feel MANNNNYY hairs sprouting all over my head. Like after you fresh shave, the day after those small prickly hairs lol. The pimple that was on the back of my head is almost gone now, I feel a little itchy on my scalp due to the new hairs sprouting but I just press my head or rub it lightly with my fingers (no nails). The crown is starting to subconsciously be on my mind now haha, gotta be creative with how to hide it. Spoke to someone from here yesterday who suggested Topik to hide the crown for now, I'll look into that. Attached are pics! Again, no medication yet. WIll hop on Rogaine soon and fin will wait a couple of years.
  15. Everyones body is different. dont stress too much about the rivers. read up on it, its totally normal.
  16. Good morning everyone, So a couple of days ago, on the donor side of the back-left of my head, I noticed a pimple. So tempted to pop it Was a lot bigger yesterday, but today not so much, so just letting it disappear 'naturally' i guess. Other than that, no change really. Shedding stopped, no crazy growth yet.. although more hairs than before surgery which is a good thing of course. Just waiting patiently, and I heard people get multiple pimples, so glad I just got the one. Hair sprouting funny, its staying up. I cant put it down yet lol.. I havent tried any medication yet. Will get on top minoxidil though soon (Rogaine). Will update with pics in about 5 days where it'll be 60 days! 2 months! sheesh time flies but not fast enough..
  17. @general-etwanyeah just wait a bit. Eugenix reluctantly gave me a quote for my crown too haha. Was so happy to hear only 2k needed. And as you recommended to me on Reddit, I'll jump on Rogaine now, but I'll hold off on that RU58 thing.. will just keep it simple with Rogaine and then fin after the 2.5 years
