He wore a hairpiece, a very good one though.

Yeah, i saw this case, it is interesting but unfortunately there are not many cases like that. I started taking fin to improve my donor hair. Could you guys tell how much worse my donor is now compared to 15 years ago? The 2008 pic shows 9 days growth, the 2023 one shows 6 days growth. Is it worse by far? Below my donor hair in 2008 when grown out

Wow, that's huge experience, what made those last 10 years hell after first 15 years of wearing? I wore a hair piece for 6 years (from 18 to 24) and was overall happy with it, except the fact that i wanted to wear my hair combed back but had to comb it down to hide the lace. I didn't hate wearing, i just stopped it spontaneously and went for shaved look with smp. Anyway if i have a ht for my front and temples and eventually will hate wearing a hairpiece i will just shave it and go back to a clean shaven smp look which im rocking now. Fue scars won't be too noticeable and i might smp them too. Man, i think the same, ьy donor looks sparse because it is short in lenghth. Im back on fin now btw, i don't have much hope on regrowth on top or crown but i think it will make my donor hair thicker. Guys, i dont think i can pull off a full coverage with hair transplants only, given that im nw7 with a karge head and fine hair, im not that optimistic. What im talking about is just have a hairline + temples transplant and combine it with low density hair system. Im sure it will look great.

Thats my donor hair 16 years ago right before i stopped takin fin and went on hairsystems. Did it get worse?

That sounds sad But i already have smp for 10 years, here is a pic of how it normally looks. I want a dense hairline with agressive temporal peaks to frame my face well and then wear hairsystem behind it. Do you think its achievable with my donor?

Here are my pics at 6 and 17 days growth, guys, usually i dont wear them like that but i grew it out to see what my donor hair looks like. What do you guys think? How bad is my donor hair? How many grafts do you think i would need to bring my temporal peaks forward to match my smp drawn temporal peaks and 2 cm wide hairline?

Hi guys! I'm 34 and I've been NW6/7 for 10 years. I noticed that I was going bald at the age of 15, I had a receding hairline and thinning hair on top of my head. It drove me to despair. At the age of 16, I started using minoxidil, but didn't notice any results. As soon as I turned 18, I started taking finasteride. By that point, my hair looked like complete sht. I took it for six months and noticed some improvement. But my hair was so bad that I decided it wasn't worth the fight (a stupid decision) so I stopped taking finasteride and minoxidil and started wearing a hair system. I was 18 and I was norwood 3 with diffuse thinning on top. At first I wore a touppee, but then switched to a full cap, because it was easier to match the color and density. I always a comb down hairstyle because it was impossible to achieve a natural look of hairline and I was very afraid that I would be exposed. In general, I was happy with my hair system, but at some point I wanted to shave my head and live a full life without any restrictions. At 24, I stopped wearing the system and shaved my head. By that time I was already Norwood 6 and looked disgusting. So I had smp done. A great solution, I was bald, but I looked as if I have hair and I just shave my head because I like it that way. I didn't feel bald, smp gave me a lot of confidence. I could sweat as much as I wanted, let women touch my head, go to the sauna and not worry about the system flying off my head. This has been going on for 10 years, but lately I decided i want to try a hair look. I am already a norwood 7 with a big head and thin hair, so I have no illusions that the transplant will help me. Now I have started taking finasteride again. I also plan to add minoxidil and microneedling a bit later. I am not sure if it's worth it considering that I'm Norwood 7, but I've seen amazing transformations even on dead nw7 guys, so I decided to try meds again. I look good with smp, so it won't be a catastrophe if I can't get my hair back. So what options do I have? 1. To have a hair transplant in the front hairline and temporal peaks only with a beautiful design and solid density and wear the hair system behind it. Fin to keep sides donor hair in decent condition/ 2. If im a hyper responder to meds (which i highly doubt) then have a conservative ht done. 3. Dont bother with meds, hts and hairpieces and just enjoy shaved smp look. I will add some pics soon.
