Keto shampoo stopped my shedding, it’s so underrated… 

Although I do get my topical from minoxmax I’m thinking to order their topical spiro actually.

So the site and their products are not legit then?

If I'm not mistaken didn't you say in one of your old vids you were using the minoxidil from their site? @Melvin- Moderator

If you’re in the us there is happy head and strut and in Europe there is curemyhairloss.com that write prescription for Parati and you can literally add anything on the topical.

Dutasteride and finasteride in the same formula?

Yeah! I thought I would share here since so far the only source in the US was strut. 

Hey guys just wanted to share with you, I found out on IG that happy head was now selling topical Dutasteride at 0.25 with minox and other stuff on it and also another formula “kitchen sink” with duta and fina.

So that’s a pretty good news we now have strut and happy head that sell topical and oral Dutasteride in the US!

Maybe oral minox soon!

I don’t think it’s fair to start talking like this procedure was a botch job. Hair transplants are an “illusion” of density. Trust me when I say almost EVERY hair transplant by EVERY surgeon has weak spots. He posted this just last year. 

The obvious to point out is OP has fine blonde hair. Of course, comparing  results to some of the Spanish doctors  results with thick, coarse, Spanish hair wouldn’t make sense. 

I agree with weak spot pretty much all hair transplant need a touch up anyway, disagree with the Spanish hair since it’s not a thing just like there is no Italian hair or French hair… got 7 brothers all have different hair texture and color… Antonio Banderas looking people aren’t the majority in Spain although that’s what Hollywood want people to believe.

As a woman, she might be more sensitive to not wanting her photos shared for whatever reason. Maybe religious or cultural or personal reasons if the photos aren’t flattering etc etc

Men usually don’t care about this stuff as much. 

Men are as sensitive as women I wouldn’t want my face on any social media or website, it’s all about personal preference nothing to do with the person sex, 2022 time to evolve those kind of comments are getting really old… 

Pubic make a lot of sense to me too but one thing you gotta think about is ingrown hair cause that can become an absolute nightmare, I think that is more likely to happen to someone with curly hair but also has to do with the skin like someone with a thicker skin maybe if that makes any sense? 

Exemple I got some nap hair taken to do my temple points which are actually not curly although I do have curly hair but I was left with so many ingrown hair and huge huge pimples for at least 9months now it got better but I got 2 new pimples last week in the nap again, so that’s one thing to think about but beside that I really don’t see any reason not to harvest hair anywhere, I was actually looking at the hair on my feet few days ago and realized I could definitely use them in the future to replenish my donor if need be. 
 

but yeah I would say 

-beard

-pubic

-chest

I wish you good luck and hope you’ll have a great result! Although I feel the need to ask you that question, why going with a surgeon that is pretty unknown when the forum has a list of so many reputed surgeons that operate all over the world?

I mean no offense at all just curious.

I remember seeing on reddit recently someone spent $600 on a hair transplant somewhere in Africa. They only posted post operative pics but it did not look promising to put it midly. 

Does anyone have a similar story regardless of how it turned out?

Dr.Maral in Turkey.

There was a guy here a few years ago that paid like $2 a graft in Colorado. He was completely botched. 

Ahahah I love how you said it tho 🤣

Just finished surgery and we ended up repairing my "donor" from my beard (under the chin) which was overharvested by another surgeon many years ago.

12 hours of surgery for 300 grafts, slowly choosing the best body grafts to implant there. I can't thank Dr Mwamba enough for his dedication and commitment to perfection. I was exhausted and asked him how was he not tired and his response was passion, I love my job.

Should I post the pictures on this tread or open a new beard repair thread?

 

Lol anywhere we just want to see it! It’s so exiting man love all your threads!!!

Hi,

I had a transplant 15 months ago by reputable surgeon which member of the IAHRS. I have and have no donor miniaturization (even confirmed by several othe doctors)

 

Nevertheless, 9 months post OP my transplanted hair started to fall out an miniaturize until now. Even now I am shedding a lot and the hair which falls out is very thin and colorless and thin at root and dark and thick at the other end. I never had hairs with such a contrast. How is it possible? I am on no medication due to side effects

 

You need the meds…

I'll explain my current strategy more in depth.

First, this is the current state of my donor after the BHT repairs. I am very happy with it, I can cut it quite short and it looks homogenous. I have had over 11.000 grafts taken out .

 

Now, my goal is to be able to harvest another 750 grafts from it to fill in zone 2-3 in my recipient area, a small touch up on the left side. It is possible that these grafts can be taken but it would probably be quite noticeable or leave some areas with larger gaps so I am proceeding with filling it with more BHT single grafts which will surround all doubles and triples left to be able to remove them later. I mark in red were I would implant the BHT grafts from beard and chest, all singles, why? so we only take doubles and triples from the donor and avoid the BHT ones.

 

Now, in an ideal world if most of these BHT grafts take (fortunately they have in the past) plus some SMP I would be able to harvest another 750 grafts while leaving the current state of my donor pretty much as it is right now or perhaps even better with a second SMP pass. Yes, the SMP faded but I went extremely light and shallow depth to see what would be the result since I had to remove bad SMP with laser before (not fun). Now that we know that it was too soft and shallow we can be more aggressive in the third and fourth session.

I hope this explains my strategy and why I have been able to continue to have surgery after a maxed out donor a few years ago and have a normal looking donor as well.

Always a pleasure to read you man!

Totally understand, I think you did well to play it safe with SMP and kind of do a test to see if you’d like it, that being said I really like the color of the pigment mirko used on you it was like a medium brown and I think it will do well to hide the white dots, can’t wait to see sessions 3 and 4!

I do get skin fade every week on the lower part although I am letting my hair grow out for the first time in 15 years to see what happens after this repair.

I am not doing these repairs for my donor anyways, that has been resolved already, I am increasing density around doble and triple hairs to extract more grafts for my final surgery

I see got it!

looking at your last pictures I can’t see the smp you got done by Mirko anymore, did it fade away or something? 
 

thanks man

In September I will have my final surgery and I will post my entire journey after that

It will be a culmination of the work done

I am trying to get all the pictures and information!!

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried a skin fade? Cause this way your donor wouldn’t matter since it would be completely shaved, I’m saying that because I noticed that you keep your hair very short on the side.

The first 72 hours are crucial as the grafts can be easily detached by contact although I have never had that happen in 15 surgeries.

In an ideal world you would want to sleep like this 10 days, scabs can be removed on day 11, that is why I choose to do one side first and 10 days later the other or a month later, whatever suits.

 

So at 10 days the grafts are safe basically, is it ok to restart working out after 10 days?

I mean....it's often quoted as part of 'the big three'...but you're talking as if it's the devil and that you know something we don't..?

Wth are you talking about man??? Did you read my post correctly? I actually recommend a keto shampoo juts not nizoral. Nizoral is a brand! keto is the active ingredient!  so you can choose from any other brand that contains keto. 

Just now, follically challenged said:

Why 'not the nizoral one, obviously' ? Isn't Nizoral mean to help?

Why getting nizoral which is absolute crap for the hair when you can get a good shampoo with keto on it? 

I think you could first regrow a whole lot of hair with the right medication, duta ED, oral minox 1.25 twice a day plus topical minox ED,some micro-needling and last but not least the most underrated a good keto shampoo not the nizoral one obviously.

do that for 6 months and reassess but I bet you that you gonna have some much regrowth and then you can have an ht to fill in the gap if need be. 
 

check out@captaincalicoand @PelazoVenAMi.

you can also add a topical AA or some topical duta on top of the oral version.

How do you take it, topical?

 

 

Oral and topical

First I've heard of this, I though 5AR blockers tank libido?

Never did to me and been taking em for over 15 years. Duta increases libido like crazy on me, kinda makes sense since it increases testo by 15-20%.

lol this is rarely ever the case, and if it is it's short lived.

Been on duta for a year, libido’s insane. Happens to a lot of people.

That’s super messed up, I feel so bad for you man. You should definitely name the clinic so people know who they are dealing with.

Just now, lostboy182 said:

A slight loss in libido is the main side effect for me. When I take breaks from this med my libido comes back to normal within a week. 

Hmmm imo I think you should switch to topical, the good thing is duta increases libido quit a lot so that gives you a balance I guess.
