I saw this on IG, it's absolutely awful, did it ever get to a good place? he mentions a longer video, I hope it got sorted, and honestly if this had been done to me I would be shaving my head with a blade for the rest of my days rather than growing it

I think tbh looking at what you had done and where you're at, it looks like pretty much most of it has grown and you have carried on losing hair at the same time. As for your hang ups going bald so early I am not the only one on here but mine started falling out at 17 and I was a NW6 by 21 and was shaving it since 20 until a few months ago when I finally let it grow after 3 surgeries of 3000, 3000 and 4544, and even with all that its still thin, thats the reality of losing hair and put less back to cover what's gone. Like others have mentioned its never a one and done, you have options to move forward to address what's concerning you, but one thing I would say is your young and don't maybe rush into to many procedures until you know its all calmed down and stabilised. And I have always had the piss taken out of me and my bald head, some things you can't help, everyone has something and people are quick to pull on the things they know trigger you to get a rise, thats all that is.

how you getting on in general?

You got any pics of before and after?

I have seen a lot of videos online with surgeons explaining how its a totally different technique to how you extract the grafts because you have to follow the direction of the curl into the scalp when extracting

Hard to tell atm, as obvs the hair is maturing bit by bit each month and I am just only 4+ months in on OM, its looking generally a bit better month on month, but doesn't feel any thicker etc yet so maybe I need to give it a bit longer and look back at progress etc maybe in another couple of months etc

Amazing mate, honestly looks so good!

Thanks dude. If I can end up close to your result I will be happy till the end of my days 🙌

Next procedure is just get as much hair into mid scalp as I can. The top bit is still very thin. I don’t have the luxury of having wavy or thick hair so I’ll need as many grafts as possible really. See where I get to and then calling it a day after thus styling wise I am only using two things. Every few days I spray a bit of dark brown batiste on my hair. Rub it in and off and honestly this makes it look twice as think and takes the edge off scalp to hair contrast and then a bit of sea salt spray so it holds to move it into place a bit

Dr Soumesh did last surgery earlier this year and was excellent so I have asked for the same next time again

mate I think you will looking at the results they put out, the front for me is solid now and sets the rest up well, in hopefully my final pass next year I just want some density in midscalp to back it up a bit, but tbh if I had to live with how it was now I would be a happy man, I think its just because I can that I am going back as I would rather try and get it as perfect as possible if I have the option to ha

Looking really good that mate, what's the hair like on top? mine is similar style to yours, front really thick and then general lack of density running through the rest compared to the front

Fly to India for Eugenix, flights hotel, HT and 1500 grafts later I bet it comes in near a third of that price, I have been quoted around 142INR per graft with Dr Soumesh for hopefully my finally HT, roughly $1.8 per graft

hahahaha well that makes life easier 🤣

ah nice you there the end of Feb too? be good to see some faces from here for sure

@Melvin- Admin @Gatsbycoming from you two is a blessing for sure x

Awww thanks man, honestly I was at the point of shall I laser this off and go back bald (which would not of been the end of the world) or double down with Eugenix, and so glad I did as its turning out great No never even attempted to grow the last one as I knew it would just looks diffused and age me which is what I didn't want as I looked good with a shaved head all my life

What's done is done now, the surgery looks clean and as long as the hair was handled well you should have a good result, I went to a hair mill for first two surgeries without realising it was a thing or what it was, not done my research, that said the hair grew so it was not a total lose and then got a better job to make it look natural on the third one. But this looks good, and fingers crossed you have no issues. If you have seen people get good results from there then all being well yours will be good too. I have had mates go to clinics in Turkey that have been absolutely slated on this forum yet they both have good results, so who is to say this won't turn out great in the end

awww mate, very kind to say, its not perfect, but its taking me by surprise how well its turning out for me atm, especially with how short I have my hair too. With the kink in your hair I am always jealous of how little you need for so m much coverage haha, 1st round was a knock out for you and like Melvin said this is the home run, just the waiting game all over again now, but at least you know how it goes this time

I like the sound of that. Apart from running and missing trains 🤣🤣🤣

Excited for you mate, this is going to be great!

Totally agree, it ended up messed up last time because of the clinic messing up the first day or so and I ended up sitting around for a day and a half doing nothing because of it, so hopefully if they are on it a bit more and do stuff when its arranged then I can have that time to explore a little

I honestly think the overall density and naturalness of it all is excellent, and agree that you might start causing yourself other issues pushing the donor more again, I am getting to the same boat, a lot of grafts behind you atm, but I just want my donor more homogenous and then ill be happy I think. Honestly looks great on you mate, and like many have said it was your first HT that really caught my attention and wanted me to follow in your footsteps to Eugenix, so thank you for that

Thanks dude, its loads better than I thought I could of been by now, and I think one last pass to just get it all on point and looking the same etc and ill be over the moon, as much of a ball ache as the travel is, I would not go back anywhere else for another pass now

I thought they might remove some tbh, but they packed it out with a lot of singles from the nape and its done wonders, and then a general density pass all over
