No I mean a hair system...

New to a hair system so have never tried any of the shampoo / conditioner. Which ones would you recommend? Ideally with some thought towards value for money. Also how often do you shampoo / condition?

Hey I’m new to this world and looking to get my first hair system this weekend. I would like to learn how to do it all myself instead of becoming dependent on a salon. Is there somebody who would be willing to mentor me through my first re-installation living in London? I promise to pass on the favour once I’m confident!

alright I did it! I had no idea I am so bald haha Not great, but I think I could live with it if it was a bit more uniform. So I’m considering skin micro pigmentation. I think it’s considered lower risk? ie there’s much less risk of regretting it? Could somebody educate me on the risks of SMP please. Perhaps it looks weird if I start getting grey hair later? Perhaps it will look obviously unnatural? Perhaps it requires a highly skilled person and they are few and far between. Since I’m in Turkey maybe I should get it done while I’m here? Does anybody have any recommendations for places in Turkey? I think I’ll start a new thread with these questions if people here aren’t as knowledgeable about SMP? Thanks

Interesting, can you point to some negative experiences?

Thanks Dr Acar Cosmedica was the clinic. Recommended by a friend of a friend who did lots of due diligence and impressive ratings. Does that change things?

I bailed at the last minute. I flew to Turkey and even got the cannula put in my arm. Moments before payment I felt I had too much FUD due to the consensus on forums like this that a HT is not worth it without Finasteride. I’ll shave my head this week and see how I feel. Even though the surgeon there was confident that it can be done without Finasteride it’s hard to trust him as he isn’t unbiased.

I did another deeper look I can’t find any submissions where * Sub 40 with male pattern baldness and ended up shaving their head due to lack of finasteride * Can show the scars of a DHI Sapphire FUE surgery The closest I found was this guy on YouTube

Thanks I think I’ll do this

Well I find it hard to find examples of where they explicitly say they don't take Finasteride Right but it might look better for the next few years and it may also look better long term as the hairline could be better even with grade 1? Or maybe I'm delusional. I don't really have the luxury of time as I'm in Turkey now and surgery scheduled for tomorrow so I need to make a decision. Surgeon will use DHI Sapphire and they claim no scarring will be visible? Is that possible?

I know I will end up as N7 due to male pattern baldness as I’m 33 so I know that unless I take Finasteride I can’t expect a great result. I have decided that 100% I won’t be taking Finasteride. However, I'm still strongly considering to get a transplant tomorrow because: * I do expect that having a transplant will extend the number of years before I have to shave my head. I expect an extension of at least 2 years maybe pushing me to 36? * My shaved head with a transplant will look better than without? Are these decent expectations? Please can people send me some pictures of people in a similar scenario to me who underwent a transplant and did not take Finasteride.
