and use a solution without propylene glycol as it can irritate skin.

You would think that, but koray erdogan hires LOCAL lawfirms to threaten and harass you... 

sue on what grounds?  truth is a defense to slander.

If the grafts don’t survive wouldn’t that show pretty quick?

If white hairs are not many in the donor, it is usually possible to be more selective of the non white hairs to the best of our ability. However, if that black hair was to become white in the future, then it will become white in the recipient area later on.  The donor area runs from one side of the ears to the other, including the back part of your scalp ofcourse. 
As for cloning, there seems to be some steady steps. One group in particular are allowed to “ store” follicles in a tissue lab for further research and development. This was a good milestone in that regard. However, it will be still few years mostly before anything materializes- provided everything goes at a good pace. 
I would add Ketoconazole (Nizoral) shampoo twice a week to be used. It is an anti dandruff shampoo, but it could have some role in reducing DHT levels in the scalp. Caffeine based shampoos can also be used other days as there is some weak evidence that these can also positively affect hair. 

@DrTBarghouthi is it safe to use Ketoconazole shampoo shortly after a hair transplant?  

Yes I was very sad to stop it because it regrew my crown in my 20s.  Now I'm in my 40s and my crown is shiny bald.

Has the ED resolved itself now? If so how long did it take. Sorry you had to go through this. 

Yes thank god...took a couple of years to improve.  I was only on fin like 6 months.

For myself I first developed sexual side effects after 2 months (roughly) on 1mg a day. For others it can be ten months later and for some it’s been stated that side effects have occurred after less than one week. I think the best thing is to not even focus or to try and think about side effects. I thought I was fine because after a month nothing had changed. 
If however side effects do occur then simply cease the drug. My sex drive came back after a week with a bang! I tried Finasteride a second time micro dosing up to 1mg every second day. By six months after I reached 1mg my libido disappeared again! I’m no longer on the drug. I may choose to go back to 0.5mg every second day (which I was fine on before). 

I had ED for years aftewards...yeah yeah could've beeen due to other reasons but my doctor thinks it was due to fin.

I've yet to see anything that suggests this, by what mechanism could this be true? That it can theoretically raise testosterone? @NARMAK

No, because it is thought to mask the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

It is all relative.. At the end HTs are all about demand and supply. Some say that a good HT patient should not be dependant on Finansteride cause he may not be able to commit to the medication for life. 

Also some patients not on Finansteride with the right caracteristics carry a lesser end risk than other patients on Finansteride.

That being said, for younger patients, with more aggressive hair loss Propecia is a almost a must.

Very true. As men get older they produce less DHT, so less need for medication. 

Seems scarring is mainly noticeable in donor areas. 

I’ve heard they’ll eventually stop growing if you pluck them out. 

Yeah just scabs. If they were follicles you would be bleeding.

Amazing result!!

I wish.. But it's almost 67 days now.. My all grafts shedded completely by 18th day.. And not a new single hair has sprouted so far.. I am worried now..

too early to worry, need a couple more months at least.

Yes there are some good new motarized punches on the market, but not all clinics have them of course.

https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/59180-kevin-james-got-rid-of-his-hair-piece/

yes as the transplanted hair will compete with old hair for blood supply, which may cause old hair to fall out.

My doctor said not to touch the recipient area for 28 days and after a month, it will be ok to wash off the scabs then. You agree?

that sounds kinda long.  Most docs seem to say 14 days max.

Just shave it off man.

The forum doesn't have any recommended docs for Mexico, so you'll need to dig deep into reviews (authentic, not fake) and look at doctor's experience and qualifications.  Check with organizations like ABHRS.
