Just checked your pictures. Month 5 is really early. Even from month 8 to 9 I had improvements. And for some it takes longer.

Here is one shot from yesterday. Even though I am very happy, we always seek for more density. In the pictures it looks dense but sometimes under heavy bathroom light it looks not very dense.

All good man. The interest here is quite low so I didn’t bother posting updates. Posting monthly updates on Reddit. Approaching month 9.

Approaching month 7 in one week. Some daylight shot (no direct sun). The hairs getting better in terms of that they feel similar to how my hair felt before on top of my head. On the left side (right side on the picture) I had very bad shock loss after surgery and late growth. It still looks thinner in comparison to the right side. I hope that will catch up after the year is over. I read that doubles and tripples grow slower and take more time. I still see thin hairs growing. So hope will get more density. Met a friend today I met 2 months ago last time. He said “oh my god you have so much hair now”. But under certain light (those strong spots in bathrooms) I feel it still looks thin. Hopefully will thicken up more. But in comparison to how it was before I am more than happy.

I´m a special case because of Post fin syndrome. I would definitely recommend using finasteride after a HT if there are no sides. At least topical. I do PRP every month. I apply 2 drops of caffeine solution (The Ordinary brand) and Aloe Vera on the scalp every night. Thats it.

Thank you. I´m living in Thailand right now and use a Thai brand (guess its Thai) called "Gatsby - Styling Pomade Perfect Raise".

Prostate inflammation.

Yes I have. Going through some hard times. Now 6 weeks in total on antibiotics. Bad sleep. Bad eating. It’s showing up on my hair. They feel thin. I think from month 5 to 6 there was not much change. Hair got longer. But I feel density wise that’s it. I took these shots against a window with daylight. I can add some daylight shot later. This is again styled with some wet look hair wax. No fibers.

Posted these on Reddit few days ago already and got quite some positive feedback. Wanted to add them here as well. Around 5 months and 1 week. Picture 1 and 2 with dry hair, the rest with glossy hair wax. Donor has the white dots on a skin fade. Doesn’t bother me so far. And the last picture, the usual micro shot with tiny hairs. I have no idea if they will grow out or if they are baby hairs that will stay like this. Feels like they are always at this length. But difficult to say. Edit: Last shot in sunlight. The hairs left and right on my hairline are native hair left from pre surgery. I marked them with red in one picture.

Definitely very happy already. If this is it, it’s more than I imagined. I’m happy with the hairline since I think it replicates my original hairline perfectly.

Definitely recommend. Of course it’s more expensive than a hair mill in Turkey but was worth it. Donor I have this one I took yesterday. It’s just 2-3mm length since I get a mid fade every 2 weeks.

Thanks buddy. Your result is amazing. I’m going to let the hairs grow longer and copy your hair style just from left to right. But I love the slit back look. If it fits me too, going to do that as well. I think I need 4-5 months more. Also it’s a practical style to hide the crown.

Approaching month 5 in 7 days. This is more than I ever expected. And still seeing tiny hairs sprouting, so hopefully it will fill up more. No fibers, only hair wax. Sunday 3rd December is my next PRP treatment.

No he doesn’t. He did it 5 months ago, so not much growth yet in the crown.

Do you plan on shaving it off all again on round 2? I have a friend who went to Dr. Laorwong too for his crown and he didn’t shave the top. Only donor got shaven.

I did start around week 6 but I would not advise anyone do that. I had very good results with micro needling 2 years before surgery (in combination with The Ordinary hair peptides) but I couldn’t take the pain it was causing and after few months started to do it less and less frequently and then forgot about it. If you do fin you are good. No need to do other things. Also you only had a thinning on the hairline and the rest is thick and full. So no need for micro needling and other crazy things.

Looks very good mate. You will be a happy man in a year.

I thought month 8 was the maximum that’s possible. But I am stunned how much of a difference month 8 to 9 made. Crazy result.

I’m not really sure if I was an early grower until 4 months and that was it. So far, the last 2 weeks after this post, not much happened. Actually month 4 should be exploding. But to me it still looks the same in the mirror as 2 weeks ago. Punch size I think it was 0.8mm. That’s what the paper says. But three hairs 1.9mm not sure if that can be.

Exactly. I think over sensitive to anything. For example in 2012 I smoked weed for the first time. I ended up in the hospital with a horror trip. As for the Valium, it was only 20mg. And I slept pretty much the whole procedure. And then went home and slept another 12 hours. Best sleep I had in a long time. Thats also the reason I am careful about trying minoxidil. Some studies show it’s an androgen interrupter.

Nah don’t worry mate. I don’t even know if those were death grafts in my case. Some shed in month 2 or later. As they always say, trust the progress. I had very high doubts about my transplant until month 3. Push through the time. You can start worrying at month 6.

Looks densely packed man. Should start to look great already after new year. Good luck.

Looks great mate. You have really thick hair.

I had PRP (and so called stem cell) with Dr. Laorwong during the transplant. And then one PRP session about 10 days ago. But I do micro needling weekly, if that does anything to speed up growth.

Thanks everybody. And one month made such a huge difference, looking back, I can’t believe it. This picture was made exactly on October 6th.
