Hi everyone, Im just curious. Im not going bald (as far as I know) but I do shed about 10-20 hairs a day. I am 32. I have pretty thick hair so i don't notice a difference. But I am a little concerned just because I am getting a little older. So my question is, Is using shampoos like rogane, propecia or any of the other ones out there okay to use for someone who's not balding? I would like to use them to maybe maintain my hair, but I've heard that once you start using these shampoos you have to keep using them. Im afraid that if i start using one of these shampoos my hair will start to depend on it and then once I stop my hair may start to fall out. Is this true? thanks

Hey guys I have another question for you. After reading more posts I've been seeing the subject of shockloss come up a bit. Can you tell me exactly what this is and how likeable this is to occur? Is there a certain "something" done during the procedure that might make this more likely to happen?

Hey guys. I'm pleased to see that alot of you have posted on this topic. Some a little harsh but that's okay. It WAS a silly mistake. This is why I love coming to this board, it is like a family here, everyone does seem concerned and all your posts are a great help to me, Thankyou. I was always kinda bothered by the unevenness of my hairline, and never thought about HT prior. Well, I had a friend who was a permanent makeup artist, and so I asked her if she could fill in my hairline a bit by drawing in small little hairstrokes to make it look fuller (crazy I know). Well anyway the disater came when I drew an outline around my hairline to where she was not to go over but do work inside the outline. Well instead she tattooed in the outline (because she was too busy talking about her personal life). Ofcourse I was highly upset but more shocked than anything. I guess we all learn from our mistakes. But anyways Im getting the tattoo removed with a highly acidic cream due to the fact that it is too close to my hair, so hopefully this will work. Hopefully when it's all said and done with the help of Dr. Epstein I will get pretty close to what I wanted from the very beginning.

Hey youngsuccess, Thanks for the reply. Im glad you remembered my situation. No I didn't meet Dr. Epstein in person, but through an online consultation. The reason I asked about the 1400 graphs was because I was wonderig if that's a good number of hairs or if that's still a pretty limited number, (for hairlines anyway). Im getting my tattoo removed with some kind of fading solution as the Dr, said my skin my be too dark for laser removal. She said the solution may lighten the areas to about the same color as my scalp, which im okay with. Once Im done with this then I will plan to do the restoration as Dr. Epstien advised as well. Thanks for your imput that helps me out alot.

Hey guys. I don't know if any of you remember but I posted a discussion o few months back about cover a tattoo with hair restoration. To refresh, I got permanent makeup done around my hairline to fill it in some. Well unfortunatly the lady didn't know quite what i wanted and so came out not so good. I basically have a tattooed line across my hairline and the sides of my head. okay, so about a year after tying to cover this up by wearing my hair a little longer I decided to try and fix this with hair restoration, since initially I did want to make my hairline look fuller. This isn't so much a issue of hairloss as it is more for vanity. my hairline has always been the same, latley it has bothered me more, espesially since there's options out now to fix it. I've attached some photos to give you all a better idea. I talked to Dr. Epstien and he said he could fix this with 1400 graphs. My question is will 1400 fill my hairline and maybe some on the sides pretty good? My goal is to have a full even hairline to come to about where the tattoo is Also, im in the process of getting the tattoo removed. Also how much interaction do you have as to the outcome of what you want? I dont want the same thing to happen again with hair restoration.

Hey guys. Okay, this might be a silly question but when you refer to the density of your hair what does that mean?

Hey everyone. As someone who is considering hair restoration in the furture, i'm trying to gather as much info as i can before i make a decision. My question is will transplanted hair be senstive to chemicals to the hair, such as hair coloring, perms, relaxers etc..? Are these things that you can no longer do because the hair will easily fall out, and or take longer to grow back or is the hair just as stong as the rest of the hair? And if it does come out (as some hairs tend to do in these things) will it grow back and at the same rate as the rest of the hair? I guess I mainly want to know if transplanted hair is just as strong and durable as the untransplanted hair. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. You all were a great help!

Hi Aquarious, thanks for the reply. Yes i am male. Are you suggesting that this isn't a good idea? Would it realy be that noticable if the transplanted hairs are that different?
