Hi guys, It's been 14 months now. Here's some photos of the past few months. Outside in low light. 11 months. Inside in flat light. 11 months. After haircut. Outside in flat light. 11.5 months. Outside in soft light. 11.5 months. Outside in neutral light. Low pic quality. 13 months. Inside in harsh overhead light. 14 months. Inside in neutral overhead light. 14 months. Inside top down in harsh light taken today, 14 months. I have noticed slight thinning on top in last few weeks however, and am hoping that it is just shedding. I am also experiencing significant work pressure, so stress is playing a role. I haven't showered in 24 hours here, and have been travelling, so mind the dandruff. You can see the thin areas noticably here. Right now it doesn't come across as balding for me psychologically, just sparse, and it is a whole lot better than what was (not) there before. I take 1mg finesteride. I do not use minoxidil or hair fibres. Overall I am extremely happy with the results and no longer wear a hat in public. Sometimes I get in my head about people noticing, particularly the perfectly straight row of 'scattered hair' of my hairline against the thicker uniform hair behind. I get around this insecurity by wearing my hair messy infront, which obscures the hairline enough to create a natural look. I am very lucky with my hair characteristics, even though I get a frizzy look often. I find that styling creams highlight the uniformity of the implants, so I tend not to use them. I experiment with different shampoo/conditioner combos alot. 99% of interactions noone has a clue I've had work done. I've even had complements on my hair, which hadn't happened for a decade before the HT. Worth every penny.

Hi guys, Here's 6 month update. I went to a barber a week ago. Sides super short and long on top. Pleased with the result so far. Only point of concern is for the last month or so I've been losing about 100 hairs every time I shampoo/condition. I do it vigorously. I don't leave much hair on pillow. Eugenix told me this is probably a telogon shed. Again though, very happy with how things are turning out. Here it is wet and dry.

Fin, minoxidil and other supplements like multivit and biotin (I know really only fin and min are the real deal). No laser therapy. I've noticed a little bit of improvement from month 2-3 but not much. Hoping things really take off as I approach and pass the 4 month mark. Truly is a mental game at this point.
