@Rolandas I still refer to some of your videos from like 3 years ago. You really did a public service with your YouTube channel and I thank you for it. Would be nice to see you come back to YT but I understand there is only so much content that can be made about your hair.

Month 7 couple sweaty/oily pics after the gym Wet, Just out of the shower for years, you wouldn’t see me in the gym without a hat on. For the last month I have been going without a hat. It’s the little things like that or even just going to a friends house and not worrying about him looking at my hair in various lighting. My real friends would never make fun of me of course but still, it’s extra nice for them to not have something to make fun of in the first place. I was a hat guy for many years and it honestly feels amazing to not have to wear it all the time to feel comfortable. I’m impressed with how well it holds up in very bright lighting or when it’s oily. I do think my curly/wavy hair helps with the illusion of density. The only time I can make it look not great is when the hair is messy going in every which direction AND oily/wet, AND there’s bright light directly on it. If even 2 of the 3 things are happening, it still looks decent imo. Then again whose hair, even without mpb, really looks great with all of those things simultaneously? Probably a minority of people with super thick hair and no balding at all.

It’s already holding up pretty well in the intense sunlight, this is gonna be a crazy, hall of fame type transformation.

That frontal density is going to be insane. I would strongly recommend you reconsider finasteride or some other DHT inhibitor. You appear to have a NW6 or at least a NW5 hairloss pattern that is evident when you shave your hair. You just had a ton of your limited grafts used for your frontal third. You really want to hold onto the rest of your hair as it is very likely you will lose it without Finasteride or Dut, especially considering how young you are.

Good point. Guys like him with relatively dark skin and dark hair are perfect candidates for smp.

His hair does, in my opinion, look good when dry. He could probably do another operation in his midscalp/crown if he wanted but his hairline and frontal third is good, when dry. He also has a pretty good skin to hair contrast, not as good as someone darker skinned with that hair but still quite good. Seems like dermatch would help him during fights

Yeah. Always fun to watch him fight, I saw it as well. Robert Whittaker’s hair looked pretty perfect, as he naturally has thick hair and no MPB. Would you say the majority of HT patients have a similar look when wet like that?

He posts pics to his Instagram where. He’s training and his hair looks quite thin, but also posts pics where it looks thick. So it’s possible he uses toppik. I was more just curious if this is the typical thing a HT patient sees.

So anyone here who follows MMA probably knows who Paulo Costa is and that he had a HT a couple years back. I think he got somewhere around 4k grafts. Honesty his hair looks very good when he’s not sweaty, I think the general consensus is he had a good HT. he’s a diffuse thinner, very possibly accelerated by “secret juice”. But when he fights, starts sweating, the hair looks pretty rough: is this typical even for a good HT, or can an elite doctor overcome even this with graft placement? Usually when people post results, they don’t post in such rough conditions. Many who get a HT go to the gym though and sweat, so this is a realistic scenario for some.

I think this will look awesome. Now that I’ve been mentally auditing the hair on like everyone I see IRL for a while, the overwhelming majority of 57+ year old men (and women) don’t have a perfectly closed off crown, just from natural aging alone. A small minority do but honestly for men like 25+, just having enough to not be noticeably thin in most lighting is enough imo. Definitely look forward to seeing your updates 👍

6 months I am very happy to report that I believe this is the best my hair has looked in my adult life so far! At the minimum, as good as when I was 18-19 max, I believe the hairline actually looks stronger now than it did then, a decade ago. here is one standing directly under a very harsh light: Wet and slicked up: This was a big month. Here’s a similar type of pic for comparison with the photo I posted last month, with the hair slicked back, minoxidil residue/oily hair, probably more revealing outdoor lighting from a large window this time actually: It’s not perfect but I’d say for 6 months, this is right around where I expected to be (and I had/have high expectations). I’d say I’m about 70% happy with the density/thickness at this point. I had the sides and back cut, but left the transplanted and top hair untouched. I’d guess my native hair on top is 3 inches, with some of the transplanted hair close to that length. I do still feel a decent amount of stubble as well. At this rate, I think close to 100% happiness at month 12 is reasonable.

It sounds like you’re in a good mental place man, that is awesome. I’m 28 myself and about 5.5 months post op, and my hair is the best it has looked in my adult life. When I was 22-25 (pre-meds) my hair was absolute crap. Now I’m pretty sure my hair looks better than when I was 17/18… the point I am trying to make is you are now seeing the light, you are very young and have plenty of time to address your hair in the future. Life doesn’t end at 30, in fact, if men take care of themselves, they tend to look their best in their 30s or even beyond depending on genetics. All about staying fit, relatively low body fat %, and of course keeping the hair.

I really like your hairline design. When you look at your immediate post op pics, it looks conservative (not in a bad way, just conservative) but now with your hair grown out and cut like that your hairline looks quite low. Bros got that Elvis hair now!

Thanks man! Your YouTube videos have been a big help over the last few years. I would even say that first pic was in more favorable conditions than the second (hair clean, side part instead of slicked back) but again, I want the option to style my hair upwards. Here’s probably a more fair comparison to that before pic with the hair having a layering effect definitely better than the before already, looking forward to the continued improvement!

Thanks and yeah for sure, that’s how I typically cut my hair and will soon. I was kind of just letting it all grow for the first 6 months, then I’ll cut it down on the sides and back soon. I figure my hair is about 2.5 inches currently
