    Just over 5 weeks now and I really feel that my hair is responding to treatment, it may just be me but I feel it is definitely working ! I have attached the picture from post op to a picture I took today and you can clearly tell it’s working

    So far so good still, I do have a few questions … scalp is slightly red, the skin is bumpy in areas and I have what I believe to be a couple in grown hairs ? Or maybe hairs that haven’t quite broken through … any tips on these please … thanks lads

    On another note the topical is really proving to be effective !

    Haha can’t believe that happened, what a bizarre story haha

    Hey guys, bit of a weird one but I was feeding this bird outside my house and then it jumped onto my head, I was wearing a cap, but it’s cut my head a little with its claw …. Now I’m a little worried I may get an infection or damage the hair ? It’s been nearly a month since the transplant… I understand this is a very unusual worry haha

    Day 21, all is going as it should... hairs shedding alot now, wore my woolen hat to go bowling, it got a little itchy toward the end but nothing major.... ive attached a picture of my current state .... wondering what your opinions are on it... as far as the recipient area is concerned.... also I think the medication is starting to take effect
  7. captaincalico
    Yep that's what I thought.. thanks man, feels great to be back to normal again! Can't wait to see the results of the first surgery

    All great guys, to be honest this has been very helpful for me so thanks to all...I mainly ask these popular questions so that others will see in the thread and find peace of mind ... which takes me to my other question, I started my normal workout routine again after day 14 ...what is everyone's opinions on this

    Day 18
  10. captaincalico
    Day 18 and shedding still.... but you can't really tell still... I know I've asked but I've had about a million different answers.... and I've asked Dr but still waiting on a reply... is this hat OK to wear now it has been 18 days?

    Still looks healthy to me ... so hopefully I have not damaged anything by applying fibers ....
  13. captaincalico
    He is a great guy, and very good at what he does !
  14. captaincalico
    Do you think applying the fibers just once for a couple hours will have caused damage ? They look like they are still growing and no redness ... im a little concerned now
  15. captaincalico
    We went for a 3 finger measurement system...so the brow to the hairline shoulf be 3 fingers width,

    Thank you ! I was part of the design, I changed it the night before consultation funnily enough! Made it slightly lower, luckily I have a little original hair at the front which we used as a guideline for the hairline... I was however contemplating adding 50 grafts in the middle as a little peak to lower the hairline slightly

    Ahh ye I only tried it once for an hour, not going to use them for a while now since l be shaving my head anyway
  18. captaincalico
    Day 15 .... still can't tell hairs are shedding but it is progressively getting faster. Wondering if I can wear my little woolen hat now just for walking, not exercising? Or is it still too early?
  19. captaincalico
    Ye thats what I mean ... like a number 1 or 2 ... I didn't mean wet shave or anything like that 😳 thanks man
  20. captaincalico
    Day 15, the hairs are starting to shed quicker now, I'm not feeling as traumatised as I thought I would be.... just knowing they will return thicker and healthy is all I need.... ill probably shave my head on Saturday which is basically the end of the 3rd week so it should be safe to do so. Still slight redness on the scalp but that's all OK
  21. captaincalico
    So I've tried my fibers, I think I should have gone for dark brown, I guess it's all trial and error at this point
  22. captaincalico
    Ha I know, I think cause I've started to relax into it now, my guard slipped and I headbutted the mirror haha .... on another note I can't wait to start kickboxing again, however I will leave out any full contact sparring for another couple of weeks I think
  23. captaincalico
    Day 14, head is getting clearer every day, I bumped the front of my head this morning 🤦‍♂️ but only gently right on the front hairline .... I think it's anchored now so shouldn't be a problem... ive attached a picture of how it looks now, looks slightly thinner on pictures... my question is, how can the new hair eventually appear thicker? Surely it will look as thick as it is now ? Or will it thicken over time
  24. captaincalico
    Day 13 ....First day back on exercise... feel great to be able to workout again,, very strange feeling in the recipient area, like tingling .... I presume this Is due to the extra blood flow? And obviously my head isn't used to having the feeling of hair.. I this cause for concern ? Or just normal .
  25. captaincalico
    Day 13 tomorrow, i am desperate to start exercising again but am feeling a little nervous, any advice or tips ? I only run and do bodyweight.... I know some of you have already replied on a previous post about this... just interested to know what others think.
