If I were to be super picky … I’d potentially add another 500-1000 here which would probably bring it to the same density as the middle and front ! 

10 months after my final surgery …. Direct sunlight and flash on… no fibers

I still can't believe @captaincalico how 'natural and full' your results are. In fact I can't believe from where you started from! 💯👌

Nice one man ! It’s been one hell of a ride that’s for sure ! Hopefully I’ll maintain this now way into my senior years

It's looking fantastic - certainly one of the best outcomes I've seen; I almost said 'from where you started', but that wouldn't do the outcome justice.

I do think you've called it a little early though. I would fully expect the crown to continue to mature. It's a black hole for grafts but also seems to grow slower, so there's still potentially months to go...

Would love to see it at 18 months after a few growth cycles.

 

Edited to say - did you mean 8 months, seems closer to 10?

Thanks man !! You are probably right ! I’ll keep updating regardless ! I think my last op was the very end of June, so I’m kinda counting it as July to April so ye sorry around 8-9 months 

8 months… I think I’m at the final result now .. there may be a little more thickening darkening … I’m not sure. But regardless I’m very happy with this result ! And with plenty grafts still in the bank incase I ever need a top up 

 So I’ve made a small change to  My Current regime, I’m now on one pill of Finamin daily (Anagenica  Finasteride 1mg with Minoxidil 2.5mg). It's not cheap but very convenient having both pills in one. I will also doing Dutmeso 0.05% once a week with a dermaroller. I might go for a final 500 graft surgery to add a little density all over if needed after 12 months. We will see !

I still think you have 4 months of improvement ahead of you, specially the crown and vertex

But this is an awesome result already. Have you resumed Dut Mesotherapy?

Thanks… I hope so … a little more density and it will be near perfection ! I will be resuming dut soon .. I just keep forgetting to order 

Almost 8 months with no fibers … flash on and daylight … still some time to go before all the crown has filled out I reckon

It just means more hair is in the resting phase. Eventually, it will come back after a few months. 

Ahh ok that’s good 😊 thanks man

It’s probably anagen desynchronization 

 

Hmmm right ok that’s slightly disappointing then I suppose… hopefully it won’t be as drastic as the video but still a bit of a shock I was unaware of 

Maybe me being paranoid but I feel my hairline has thinned slightly ? Could be due to normal shedding and it’s just happened more in that area ? Or does it look normal and I’m just panicking … it is quite long now … and I had put some oil in it last night which could separate it a little 

7 months to the day … a small amount of fibers as I want to be transparent … I will wash and show you a true representation later… you’ll be shocked as it’s almost identical to the pic you see below

This is one of the most insane results @captaincalico and what makes it even more insane is that you are only at seven months! With light skin and dark hair you have the best density and coverage I think I’ve seen. 👌1,000%

Nice one bro ! I think in the future I might get some smp just to eliminate any use of fibers … that being said … it’s looking as though I may not need anything

I am but I hadn’t bought a new bottle … stupid but I keep forgetting … I’ll re order and then set up a standing order

anyone know why the crown takes longer to grow in than the hairline?

Less blood supply I believe

Can you post some pics of your crown out in the sun?

The last pics are out in the sun… very bright sunny day

Topical fin/min? Or oral? 

Oral fin and minoxidil

Superior result! Congratulations! 
What’s your current regimen?

Still using topical dutasterid? 

Thank you ! I am but I’ve ran out and really need to order more ! Definitely helping ! A little worried I may start seeing some loss if I leave it too long … but I am on fin and min so that should keep it strong 

So just shy of month 7…. I think these pics speak for themselves to be honest … this is outside on a very bright sunny morning … no fibers what so ever … what ya reckon 

Thank you ! That’s amazing !

How many grafts in total after all the procedures? 

I think 9400-9700

Almost month 6 ! What do you all think ? I think it’s still got a fair way to go yet In my opinion but that can only be a good thing going off how it currently looks ! Let me know what you All think 

Here is an example of the hairline ? Does it look thinner or is it just cause it’s longer ? On the other hand look how much my crown has closed up ! Topical Dutasteride definitely helping !
