    I know some of you guys are really interested in donor stocking. What would you guys like to know about donor restocking?

    Does donor stocking only work with beard hair or would it work with chest hair also?

    Also, could you put these interviews on YouTube? It's hard for me to follow the conversation on Instagram because it doesn't auto generate subtitles like YouTube.

    Got a hold of the barber I use to go to before the lockdowns and got a great haircut from him. This is now 8 months, at this point I assume that all of the hairs that were suppose to grow in have and they should be maturing more as time progresses. When my sides are kept at a one clip I'm very happy with the appearance of the donor area. I stayed quiet about my transplant to my barber and I don't think he was able to notice anything, I think when I hit the 12 month mark I'll tell him and test his reaction. My current prevention regimen is 1mg Fin, 2.5 mg oral min & 1x 5% rogaine foam, once weekly microneedling at 1.5mm depth, and nizarol once a week, I believe my hair is stable on this, and this is what I'll stick to May - September. I'm considering my options with a topical AA (fluridil, CB, RU) and potentially once weekly topical dutasteride after the summer. For the time being I just want to go into the next 4 months and enjoy the weather, keep my mind off my hair and stay productive and start getting in shape. Now more than ever I've realized my mood is a direct reflection of my activity level so my goal is to improve that aspect of my life as well. I hope everyone is striving to find a balance in their lives 👊

    One of the best results I've seen. That hair

  3. I think your hair is fine now but you're young so it could progress in the future. If your hair fall gets worse you may notice a lot of hair on your hands when you're showering or on your pillow in the morning. A dermatologist or someone knowledgeable with hair could check your hair for any miniaturization. 

    Also, consider taking finasteride (if you don't get side effects) and minoxidil to treat hair loss.

  4. I asked a Dermatologist to do a scalp biopsy to see what are some of the causes of my hair loss. The result said I had Cicatricial Alopecia (Scarring Alopecia). So I need to get that fixed before thinking about any surgery. Maybe you can ask for a biopsy if you think you need one?

    Also, it's possible to have a combination of MPB and another type of hair loss.
