Hairfree,

 

Things look awesome for 3 months. I like the position of the hairline and it looks like there is going to be some pretty decent coverage. It's all good from here on in.

 

Keep the photos coming.

P.S. Aren't people seeing the scare when you clip with a #1-2??

NN,

 

I just updated the gallery with a couple scar photos at this length. 5 days ago I buzzed it down to #1. I am still getting a few pimples on the scar line from ingrown hairs growing thru. I am happy that I am able to cut to this length and not much is showing. I was applying dermatch to conceal the scar and lately I haven't been putting any on. I am going to let it grow out a bit longer. I love my hair at this length. No need for a hairbrush icon_smile.gif

I just posted my month 4 photos. I did not cut my hair in the past 3 weeks. Its starting to fill in and looks thicker. In the past couple days I had to pop a couple pimples just behind the hairline. I hope it means more growth to come. I am trying not to think about it too much. I am excited about the results so far. 2 1/2 months to go till my wedding!!

Hairfree,

 

Who is that hairy beast?

 

I can't even believe how awesome your hair looks for only 4 months post op! Imagine what it will look like in another 4 months?

 

I had the privilege of seeing it in person. I also have to say it's one of the most natural looking hairlines I've ever seen as well.

 

Keep us posted.

 

Hope we can get together again soon bro.

I just updated my photos with Month 5 pics. I am very pleased with the results so far. I have been using styling products when going out in the past 3 weeks. The last time I cut my hair was July 4th. Its been 2 months! Still letting it grow out. I plan to get a hair cut soon for a little trim however want to grow it longer to give me more styling options on my wedding day coming up on October 27th icon_smile.gif

Looks really nice

 

You will still benefit from another 6-9 months of improved appearance.

Bill -

 

Thank you for the compliments. I am glad that all went well at your BBQ. The past two weekends have been crazy. The weekend before I was in OC Maryland for one night and the past weekend I went to Penn State for two nights because Jackie went to OC Maryland with her girlfriends for 3 nights.

 

I love the results and as of now I am very glad that I went forward with it. Meeting your in person was a great bonus because I was able to see natural HTs looked after seeing you at the 5 month mark. Most important was the advice you were able to give me for pre and post op care.

 

To be honest I really haven't sat back and completely enjoyed having a full head of hair again because I was dealing with the stress of how my coworkers would react when I returned to teaching after summer break. They only saw my buzz cut when I was 2-3 weeks post op before my grafts feel out and the rest of the time to the end of the school year (May-June) I got away with wearing a hat. I think that the hat helped some people forget that I was thinning up there. One of the teachers asked me if I dyed my hair! Only a few people at work know. However, I have been getting some quick stares up there at work but no one has said anything.

 

When I went to a party a few weeks ago one of my long time high school friends noticed and asked whats going on up there and complimented that it looked good. I just played dumb and avoided that topic. I didnt tell him because I didnt want it to be the main subject at the party. I plan to tell him in a different setting. I got past the most awkward situations and now I have been sitting back and starting to enjoy the new transformation icon_smile.gif

hairfree,

 

Things look great my friend. I can't believe where you are for only 5 months. Rahal is king at providing a real dense look, ofcourse with that many grafts in that area, it is fairly dense. Quite the transformation. Must feel great. So happy for you. Things will be perfect for the wedding.

I cannot believe how fast your scar healed. I am at 6.5 months and still have a little pinkness..

What the hell are you eating/drinking?? Things are healing and growing very very quickly relative to many others. This is an awesome HT. Great to see a person log on, ask the questions, get the deed done and have such remarkable results. You are a perfect example of the beauty of this website. It has been fun to follow your progress.

 

When is the wedding? Very fortunate that things are as far along as they are. Are we going to see a few wedding pics?
