Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 13, 2014 Ok I made it through 1 month. I woke up and had some shedding on my pillow. I ran 6 miles and had a couple of shedders in the shower. I know this is part of the process, but its still alarming when it happens. I do feel I am getting some early growth though.

Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 So after my shower today, I had more shedders, but when I went to the mirror and looked really close at the front it looks like im having some stubble growth. Exciting Times..ha:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 Today was a first for me. I checked my hair before my shower and noticed what looked like a pimple that had popped. I touched and it had blood on it.I took a pic right away thinking it was more than one pimple. It looked like the blood smeared onto the other hairs. After my shower though, I looked really close and there is a hair growing out of it, and the other hairs around it look normal. Anybody have any thoughts on this. The first 2 pics will be before shower and the rest will be after:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted April 15, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 They sound like ingrown hair coming through and not a problem as long as you keep the area clean just as your are doing...

Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 16, 2014 After yesterdays drama, today was a walk in the park. I had minimal shedding today. Thanks to Gillenator for the quick reply. I had a pretty good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted April 16, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2014 Newbie, Just wait and see your transformation when you get 12-15 months post-op. You're going to look like a completely different man and I think your result is going to be just awesome...

Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 17, 2014 Another ho-hum day, I noticed less than 10 shedders today. Week 5 coming to a close 2morrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ok, we have made it 5 weeks. They have flown by and gone slow at the same time, if that is possible. I ran 6 miles today, trying to get back to working out at least a couple of days a week. I noticed some shedders after the workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 19, 2014 Today nothing really to update. I took my pics with my hair dry for a change:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2014 Another relaxed day. I ran 6miles today, with very little shedding which was surprising since after workouts i would get most of my shedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2014 I started a new work schedule today. 90 percent of my job I can wear a hat but there are times when I have to remove it. Hopefully that does not happen this month. Anyways my head was feeling dry today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 24, 2014 Sorry I missed the update yesterday. I had some shedders today. Its really starting to thin out now. Also I bumped my head and it really hurt and felt sore:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hi all, I have been busy/lazy lately, but here is my update. I had a really good week 6. It looks like I have small hairs growing in right in front, thats where I want it to work most. I have been washing harder on my scalp with very little shedding. I have been working out almost everyday again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Xkos48 Posted May 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 3, 2014 it will get better,you're still in shockloss,don't expect much progress for about another 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 9, 2014 I had a crazy week had to travel to NYC for work, taking off my hat at airport was embarrassing because my hair on the side are longer than the top. Anyways, had more shedding, but not really crazy amounts. Just hoping for growth phase sooner than later. What do you guys think after 2 months? I think its going ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member newfrontiers Posted May 11, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hey Newbie, I think the growth is coming slowly & that is fine. Try to keep your hair cut to 1 or 2 level on the trimmer so that it looks all even. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Newbie50 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 18, 2014 Im a little late with the update this week. I have just finished week 9. I think things are going well. I have some growers. I cut my hair to all one length. I took pic right before the cut and right after.. Any thoughts good or bad would be appreciated.

Senior Member Eman Posted May 19, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2014 Right where you need to be Newbie!! The days of the doldrums will continue for a bit more, but you will begin to notice some real growth soon. Keep patient! My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out...

Regular Member Newbie50 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2014 Had a great week. I have had to take my hat off at work a couple of times. People noticed I got a short hair and wanted to see. I was a little nervous about it, but I think people were surprised about my hair line. They rarely have seen me without a hat. It felt like they were like " Wow he has hair" haha. Anyways I feel that things are going great.. BTW does anyone use Nioxin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted June 2, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2014 Newbie, For being 10 weeks post-op, you have significant growth and you may be one of those "early bloomers". Just wait until you get 4-6 months post-op and you definitely should see a very defined new hairline. Nioxin is a scalp cleanser and invigorator. You can purchase it at just about any retailer like Walmart, CVS, or retail beauty supply store like Sally's.

Senior Member Patriot34 Posted June 5, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2014 Nice updates and from my perspective I believe everything looks good. I have seen some really nice results from Dr. Haber. I think yours is progressing nicely. How is the donor area progressing? PS hair grows faster when you don't look at it. But keep pictures at least every two weeks or you will regret it later when you want to look back at the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
