    Here is a picture of my crown towel dried after a shower so it is a little wet. When dry it looks a little better. It looks a little thin in harsh light but overall not that bad for 5 months. What do you think?

    Thanks! Thanks! I'll post a crown pic shortly. Thanks! My hair does help with the illusion of density. While i want more denisty, I don't think anyone could tell I had a transplant. Even when I wake up or take my hat off it looks good enough.

    Just made it to the 5 month mark. Here are a few pics. I used a little tribal chip powder (great stuff) to style. I'll try to post some close up more harsh pics soon. I'm still hoping for more density but I am very happy with where I am at for 5 months.

    That's a huge difference from month 3. Filling in very nice! Lots of months to keep getting better. Your result should be great!
  5. Cooper48
    Looks like you are right on track. Should start to fill in nicely now.

    Definitely a big difference from 3 months. Lots of growth to come!
  7. Cooper48
    That's going to turn out great!

    Looks like you are right on track. This will be great a great result. Settle in and enjoy the growth!

    You have had a lot of growth over the last month! Definitely filling in nicely and you can barely tell your donor was touched. I'll bet a non transplant person would notice even with it that short. Good to see that growth kick in. This is the fun part. Enjoy!

    From my understanding, hair transplants can't really be as thick as normal native hair. Its an illusion of density that works pretty well. Wait for it to grow in and then evaluate. No need to get concerned yet. There are tons of great results here so chances are it will look good. Pictures would also help.

    Right on track. Growth should really start to pick up.
  12. Cooper48
    Your donor looks perfect. Can't tell at all.
  13. Cooper48
    Looks very natural!

    It looks like mine did at 6-8 weeks. Shock loss is real. It looks worse when the hair is medium length because it highlights the weak spots. You need to wait 4-6 months for the hair to start growing again.

    What a tremendous amount of growth in 2 months. Looking great! Congrats!

    I felt comfortable going out a few weeks after the procedure with a hat on. It took me about 3.5 months before I could style my hair in a way that I felt comfortable out without a hat.
  17. Cooper48
    Looking great! You must be thrilled! You even have more growth to come. Congrats!
  18. Cooper48
    Looking good! I'm right there with you. Exciting times ahead!

    I think of it simply. At 8 weeks your grafts are normal functioning hair follicles. They are just in the telogen phase. If what you do would affect your hair before transplant it probably will affect the hair that has been placed in a different position on your head. Chances are you have had a few nights out before the transplant and had no impact on your hair. Obviously heavy regular drinking would wreak havoc on your body's nutrients, minerals, etc. and you could expect all of your hair to become brittle, etc.

    Fantastic! Look at that full head of hair! Thanks for sharing your journey and knowledge with the rest of us.

    Thanks @A_4_Archan! I'm more just curious at this point how many people experience this and not too worried. I 'll ask Dr. Laorwong in a couple months if I don't get any improvement.
  22. Cooper48
    Thanks! I'm only at 4 months so I am supper excited for the growth the come!
  23. Cooper48
    I've only included the more close up intrusive photos so I thought I would add a comparison with my hair dry and hand combed. Big difference from before and, in general, I can go out like this an no one would notice. With a little work I could also cover up the weaker side. I'm definitely feeling good about my decision to go to Dr Laorwong. Thanks again everyone for the help with that!
  24. Cooper48
    Thanks. Yes, since I had a lot of shock loss it is a relief. Thanks to this website and all the people that have shared their stories I wasn't too worried but you still can't help but think about it.

    Here are my 4 months pics. These were taken with slightly wet hair. Same light and place as all my other pics. Right side has not grown in as much as the left but I can feel more stubble coming in. I can also feel more stubble on the crown. The donor and other shockloss areas have almost completely bounced back. After I wash my hair and let it dry you can barely tell my crown is thinning. I'm really surprised by how fast that area is filling in. I'm pleased with the result so far.
