  1. Wow man, what a remarkable difference compared to when I saw you back in June. So happy for you!
  2. I am typically NOT the type of person to comment, submit feedback, or share a personal journey... But I think I definitely owe it back to this community. I had a HT surgery booked with a well known hairmill in Turkey originally, because all the info I saw online turned out to be their own propaganda marketing. One week before my appointment date I stumbled upon real, unfiltered, un-cherrypicked results, where several people's lives were basically ruined by them. Thank God I caught it in time, and was able to back out, or who knows where I'd be now. This site has been such a treasure trove of information and support, which ultimately helped me choose a reputable clinic that could restore my hair and at the risk of sounding too cliché, give me a piece of my life back!
  3. Thank you Ethan Thanks O Myles Thank you so much Hairman22 Thanks Berba Thanks Zoomster! Thanks Adrian ( : Thanks! I don't use any curling accessories. I put a little gel in my hair, about once a week, and I like to leave it in there, and only wash with water every day. Gentle, all-natural shampoo every week or two. Thank you SLA! Thank you Steve!
  4. Month 7 update... Hair has gotten kinda long. Someone told me recently, "Man you really need a haircut", which brought me a fuzzy little warm feeling, having too much hair. Will do my first real haircut soon. A couple people have asked if I take min and fin, I still don't take either. Any questions, feel free to ask ✌️
  5. I personally can't think of any reason someone would not want to be in the running for 'best hair transplant of 2023'. Anyone who had poor results won't get mentioned so its not like there's attention drawn to them, and if anyone is hyper-sensitive about their transplant, well, they probably didn't volunteer their journey on this forum in the first place.
  6. No doubt all of the people mentioned here have great looking results. When I think of most incredible TRANSFORMATION tho, I immediately think of @Gatsby. I just dont know if I saw anyone else with as difficult of a starting point. He had some serious obstacles to overcome, and his hair actually looks fantastic now. @mtb and @Bandit90 as my runners up.
  7. Hey fam, Month 6 update. I have let the donor grow a bit. Ill admit, for the first few months post HT, it was so hard for me to believe the donor would bounce back. Even though I've seen numerous cases where it did for other Eugenix patients, I just started wavering. Many of you chimed in with support and it helped. Thank you. I must say, I am pleased with how the donor has turned out, and my worrying was in vain. Eugenix knows what they're doing. See ya at mo. 7 ✌️
  8. Thanks Melvin Thank you. If Im being honest I still can't believe that it all worked out and I actually have hair. Esp given how bald I was. First thing I do every morning when I wake up is go check the bathroom mirror and make sure it wasn't all just a dream! The only product in my hair in the photos is the gel below. From time to time I put a little sea salt spray in my hair too bc I like the rough/hard texture it gives, but I never use any fibers or anything like that. I'd rather my hair look not too dense if it means I dont have to worry on windy/rainy days. Also worth pointing out my hair was still very wet, this was fresh out of the shower, thus it's a little shinier and darker
  9. Hey Ethan, I've been reading your recent updates and figured I'd chime in. I feel EXACTLY the same as you, after both of my HTs I wanted things as homogeneous as possible, I too despise the horseshoe effect and want to minimize it as much as possible. I know it's been said by multiple people already but I would strongly urge you to learn to fade your own hair. I personally have not had another person cut my hair in 20 years, I always do it myself. I think the longer the top is, the more guards you're using and the trickier it becomes (like Melvin's photo, or the model's fade pic you posted). But honestly, looking at the below pic, cutting this yourself would be a piece of cake. I would just cut the donor super low, to your taste (maybe a .5 guard, or no guard at all), right up to the horseshoe. Then just use the next highest guard number and sort of pull away as you cut into the longer hairs above. I have my main bathroom mirror, and then I just use a handheld mirror to see the back. During the 3 months post HT, I cut mine basically every single morning. Just my personal thoughts, before even THINKING about smp... because as you know well, the results from a 3rd HT are a year and a half away, and this could really hold you over in the meantime, giving you that same look you liked right after your barber visit. I could maybe even make a little tutorial video next time I cut mine if you were interested at all. Just a thought
  10. Hey all, checking in for month 5 update.. Not a ton of change, other than hair being obv a little longer. Donor area is inching its way forward little by little. Might try to grow donor out a bit and see if that helps it look any fuller. See ya at month 6✌️
  11. Thank you @Mrclean. To date I have still not taken Finasteride, or any other drugs except some biotin pills during the first few months. Idk, Im kinda on a streak and don't wanna break it 🥹
