Senior Member azn_guy Posted May 23, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm just wondering who here has had a dramatic change in their hairstyles after a HT, when I say "after" I mean a good 18 months afterwards One of the reasons I ask is that HT is an "art" where an illusion is happening to make it looks like you have more hair than you have. Check out this photo. After a HT, would this even be possible? Long Hair Style This probably not achievable. Or the Owen Wilson Look owen wilson look So after a HT, do most of you stick with one style and that's it? Again, If I'm being outlandish with my expectations, please bring me back down to earth =) HT with Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SpaceBetween Posted May 23, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2009 Although I'm no expert as I haven't had an HT yet.. I'd say it just really depends on how much native hair you have left. I really do think a style like Owen's can be acheived if you have a good amount left on the top and crown, and are just replacing the front... I don't know.. but I don't think anyone is really limited to one style. A guy I work with had a HT (almost positive) and he wears the slicked back look... it looks terrible. So I wouldn't opt for that. Current Regimen: .5mg Fin ED Minox 2x daily Nizoral 1% 2-3 times a week Fish Oil capsules w/ Omega-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TheEmperor Posted May 24, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2009 You can do a variation of the Owen Wilson. It will be thinner, but Jotrnoic had something along those lines, although there isnt enough hair on top, that if you kept the back and sides long, it would probably look like a mullet.

Regular Member lovestospoon Posted May 24, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 24, 2009 I believe Owen Wilson has either had a hair tranplant or wears a hair system. There is a reason his hair is always covering his forhead and you never seem him getting it wet and pulled back in his movies. He has a very large forhead due to balding and thats why he styles it that way. My Hair Loss Weblog - Hair Transplant with Dr. Hasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Jotronic Posted May 24, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hair styles after a hair transplant depend simply on the amount of hair you had before and the amount of hair you have after your surgery. If you were a NW6 and received 2500 grafts then you are pretty limited in what is possible. Simply, the more hair you get relative to the amount of loss then the more you can do once the result is mature. For me, being a NW6+ AND a repair patient I feel very fortunate to have the options I have now. I feel that patients like me, with extensive loss and likewise extensive reconstruction, have "sweetspots" for hair length. What I mean is that the hair seems thicker at some lengths and thinner at other lengths. Here is my hair at it's longest since my surgeries. So, yes you can grow it long and have different hair styles but the question should be to ask if it will look good or not and that is where the amount of hair moved is key. Here is my hair shorter again and lightened significantly...

Senior Member azn_guy Posted May 25, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hey Jontronic, You look great with longer hair... The 3rd picture is interesting to me. Obviously it looks good, but I have to ask one minor question Again this is me being a perfectionist and my expectations are off the roof. The 3rd picture, I see a bit of "emptiness" in the temple region. Any thought of getting that filled in anymore? I suggest not, but just something I kinda noticed.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted May 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks guys. AZN, No plans to fill my temples. To do so would require hairline lowering as well to keep a proper balance for my profile. That would take more grafts than even I have left The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member M&M Posted May 27, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 27, 2009 Good question on different hairstyles and I'd have to fully agree with Jotronic in that there is an 'ideal' length. If it's too short, you don't get the layering effect, if too long, it gets weighted down and less manageable. It will of course vary for each person and how much native hair they had to begin with and how good the Hair Transplant is. The Owen Wilson look is certainly something many can pull off, but without density and strong temples. Otherwise, it would take soooo much hairspray to hold everything in place. The fear would be some wind coming along and exposing receding temples, thinning spots - hairline or crown - making others believe that the hairsytle was not done by 'choice', but by requirement to 'cover something up' or worse yet - a comb-over look. I've certainly been impressed with photos lately that show some extremely modern hairstyles, without having to utilize 'Armani' levels of grafts.

Senior Member azn_guy Posted May 27, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 27, 2009 Did anyone on this site anticipate a hairstyle after a HT procedure, only to be disappointed that the hairstyle he/she wanted couldn't be achieved?
