Senior Member wantego Posted February 12, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2009 I got a real hair cut today for the first time since I had a HT. The hair stylist cut it very short. My hair had been long, uneven and unmanageable. I was starting to have some concerns in the last 2 weeks or so. I feel like I have been going through a weird 2 weeks where my hair was thinning or shedding even though I dont see much hair fall out. While I prefer my hair longer I think the hair stylist did me a favor by cutting it so short. This way I can see exactly what hair I do have and what hair I do not have. Having it very long may have covered some things up in misleading way. Hopefully I will get some more growth in the next 4-5 months. I took a mess of pictures. Some in the sunlight/shade outside. Some inside in 2 different rooms. The hair stylist never mentioned anything about a scar nor a hair transplant so that is a good sign. Some pictures in direct sunlight were almost scary but others looked very good so I dont really know what to think. I try to take pictures from each angle. Some pictures are more flattering than others but by posting both flattering and non flattering pictures I'm honest with myself and other people. 4374 grafts-7/2/2008-Dr Rahal 485 singles 2336 doubles 1526 triples 16 quads 9809 total hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted February 12, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah looking good . Is that shock loss on the right side or just the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wantego Posted February 12, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks a bunch Charlie. PGP, Are you speaking about the picture in the sun? Or in general on the right? I can not really say for sure. I dont know if I had shockloss that did not grow back or not. It may have been like that before. Edit: After looking at my web blog my 6 month pics didnt show it as much. This hair stylist cut my hair really short so maybe thats why it shows more. Some pictures look bad and some look great. I try to put some of each to be 100% honest. I may be going through a shed. My hair has seemed a little different the last 2 weeks than it did in the prior 6 months. 4374 grafts-7/2/2008-Dr Rahal 485 singles 2336 doubles 1526 triples 16 quads 9809 total hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Eman Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looking good want!! I like the haircut, but still think that you could have done it yourself for free . I do see what you are saying about some pictures looking really good and others you are not as happy with. You definitely have more thickening up that will occur in the next five plus months (you already know that). Some of those pics you can see through the top a little and that is being hyper critical about it; but I do understand what you are talking about. I agree with charlie though--you have a full head of hair!! Keep thickening and growing buddy! My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out...

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2009 Still looks like you have a full head of hair! If not already, surely in another month or two you should have limitless styling options. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Senior Member wantego Posted February 14, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanatopsis_awry and Badger thanks for the kind words. For some reason I went through a shed or thinning in the last 2 weeks or so that has me really nervous.

Senior Member wantego Posted February 15, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks a bunch Eman and Headinahole. The shed happened in the last 2 weeks or so. My latest pictures with the shorter hair came after the shed. I did email the doctor. He said shedding is temporary. I'm just going to try to avoid looking in mirrors for a while and not stress out over it.

Regular Member Benedict Arnold Posted February 16, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2009 Wantego, I cannot attempt to express the glories of your hair while being confined to the english language. Rahal has blessed you beyond the scope which finite communication can currently express. His labors have birthed more hairs upon your head than that of a mormon mother has begat children for her husband; and the sub-sequential labors of each of the begotten shall provide many fruits to the laborers.Each graft should glorify your head as all of the splendors of Solomon in his vast empire. But, you spent 14-16K on this luxurious, pompous pompadore of a pimp wig; please, for the love of god spend the: -$30 on a hair cut. -$10 on some styling products. -$5 on GQ mag in order to realize the material gains you have been given, and style that fro up to the max, so we can see it in all of it's splendid glory w/some flare! As it currently stands, it appears that your most relishing splurge is that of a shampoo and a light use of the brush to "sweep" those glorious grafts to the side of your head. Both Rahal and the community deserve more effort on your part. *post is both out of jealousy for your beast of a head of hair, and curiosity w/what it would look like under 'premier' conditions. Translation: you spent good money, got an insane result, now PIMP THAT WIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your such an aspiration. take care bud Petro thank you so much for the kind words. Its nice to see almost all the posters on here are kind and have manners. Things should get much better for you soon. Those first 3 months are probably the hardest months. I hope you have an amazing result. Did you by any chance see the pictures I posted in the section labeled 5 months hair pulled back? They show my hairline pulled back and my hair brushed back as well.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Benedict Arnold, Though from your last statement, it appears that you are joking and just trying to have a little fun, your post can be seen and taken as an insult. Wantego has helped countless people on this community and deserves your respect. It takes courage to post photos on the internet, and I expect that if you're gonig to offer feedback, that it's genuine and not rude. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Benedict Arnold Posted February 18, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 18, 2009 Apparently, some of my ideas were misintepreted, as is so often the case w/great thinkers whose concepts transcend that of conventional wisdom. Admittedly, they are of an advanced level. Let us try again through a facet of thought more conducive to the layman's understanding. Want ego not only has my respect, but his hair DEMANDS it. His hair and over all transformation are nothing less then spectacular, and I have even gone so far as to pm him to let him know as much. My point was of a subtler nature. Would you deny Beethoven his piano? Would you deny Mother Teresa the company of the sick and needy? Would you deny Picasso his canvas, break his hands, and hang his painting above a toilet?Likewise, wantego's hair is tantamount to the potentially unrealized value as of the afore mentioned historical examples; I am merely attempting to assure he experiences and appreciates it for all of it's inherent value.A bold stroke from the brush and a palm of putty is paramount in realizing the panache he so deserves. I leave you this evening w/the following thoughts, a wise man once said ---"fortune favors the bold". The brush beckons boldness my good friend. The brush beckons boldness.
