Senior Member Neptune Posted October 21, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2007 The haircut part is really the best thing! I do catch people just kind of looking at me as if they are wondering what the heck is different. Since I decided long ago to just keep this to myself, I'm ready with the "I've been taking Propecia and using Rogaine for the last year and they work great" response if someone just flat out asks me what has happened. Really fun and exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted October 21, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2007 Neptune, Dude you have hair! Looks great. Just my opinion--why not just tell them you had a HT? Really no different than saying you use Propecia and Rogaine because both answers tell them that you are not happy with not having hair. Just my opinion. I just wonder if we do a disservice to others because then people might actually believe that these drugs do infact grow hair? Can't you hear the comments-"Man you should see my buddies hair after using Propecia" NN NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted October 21, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hey man. Regarding frizziness, get a smoothing shampoo and conditioner and then some smoothing serum to put in your hair after. That should take care of it I used Revita shampoo and that keep it pretty smooth by itself JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Neptune, Things are really starting to happen for you. That's great! The hair "frizziness" you refer to is typical in the beginning. This hair will slowly thicken, soften, and mature up to 18 months or so. There isn't going to be a whole lot you can do to stop the initial frizz in the beginning. But you still have more to come! Do you have a top down picture for comparison pictures that you can post similar to your before picture? Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Neptune Posted October 23, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks guys. This is really useful info. Nervous: I may tell down the road but I work in a politically "harsh" environment when it comes to this sort of thing. We'll see how things go as I still may tell at some point. Bill: I intend to take some top down pics this weekend. I thought of that as I was posting as I want to be as fair as possible about these results. The "before" pic I posted just did the best job at demonstrating how much hair I had lost at that point before the surgery. I'll shoot a few top down and post them with this batch soon. Thanks again guys! Neptune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
