Charlie

I was watching a game the other day… camera pointed to the back of the head of a (Serbian?) player taking a throw in. Looked like he had been botched with a rectangular thin area in his donor.

Looking really good for 5 months, I think you’re gonna be really happy come 12 months. All the best mate

Man this is unreal. I have the same hairline… couple years and I’m getting this done👏🏻

Hi all, wanted a second opinion after almost a year on finasteride. Is there much progress here? First pic is before

I’ve checked around my hairline this week and I think I’m getting some regrowth from oral minox, shedding has slowed down also. Hopefully at 6 months I’ll have something noticeable

why do you think this? its clearly receding

I appreciate the advice everyone, I think I’ll hold off for atleast another year to give the meds a chance and educate myself a bit more on HTs.

I understand where you are coming from, I think it’s clear my hair loss will be slow and progressive having no bald relatives. it’s just something that bothers me everyday, when I can use that mental energy to use elsewhere in my life. So if having to pay 5k~ for some mental peace for 5-10 years Id take that

If you’re certain I will maintain what’s wrong with touching up the hairline and adding a few grafts?

it’s the unevenness that bothers me. combined with fin and small HT of 1k-2k to create a natural dense hairline, wouldn’t I be set for 10 years +? i don’t want to rush into anything so if that’s flawed / stupid let me know 😅

I’m confused as my hair is naturally curly/ wavy like my grandfathers whereas my dads is pretty straight. is it possible to have hair characteristics of one relative and follow a pattern of loss with another?

hi my name is Charlie and im 24, I’d say my hair loss started when I was 18/19. I’d consider myself a nw2.5/3, been thinking about a transplant to fix my hairline for the past couple years and looking to book one in for Jan 2023. I’d appreciate any advice for drs and clinics in the UK as I don’t want to travel abroad for the procedure. I’ve been on finasteride for 10 months and in the that time I think my hair loss has stabilised as I don’t have much hair fall. Recently started oral minoxidil and currently 2 months in with no regrowth as of yet. one clinic I have come across is HQ transplant in Cardiff with dr Milin, they seem to be a fairly new clinic with some good results on their Instagram page. The clinic is run by a former all black rugby player (Xavier rush). Family history - my dad is 55 with a receding hairline (nw3) with some slight thinning on the crown, but overall a decent head of hair for his age. my maternal grandfather was a nw3/3a? At 60ish (pic included). He was a high Norwood in his late years (80+) with just his forelock remaining.
