ive found a company called beauty travels 24?

Ithey seem so nice and professial

but.... they are very very cheap!

I just researched them and its mixed reviews as everyhing else!

They quoted me 2000 euro for 1500-2000 grfts through fue

just everything about them seems legit and so professial

but its my hair I cant afford to get it wrong

 

 

so if you guys csn please help me! I dno where to look or where to even begin

I roughly only have about 3000 euro to spend to get me between 1000 -2000 grafts

as here in ireland I was quoted 3000 euro for 512 grafts lol but they claim there amazing

 

 

All comments will be deeply appericated really at 21 I cant mess this up,

Some advice:

 

Post pics so we can get a better idea of your situation. I suspect your a NW 2 and if so, I would not undergo a HT. If you do, stick to a recommended doc on this site and DO NOT let price be a limiting factor. If you do go the HT route, save more money and get it done right. But again, if your a NW 2, leave it alone since most men, even non balding men, end up to be at least a NW 2 by age 30.

 

Its just bad IMO to try to get to a NW I with a HT period; esp at your age. Actually, any reputable doc would not work on you right now anyway.

Hi ive attached a picture

Ive as you can see my hairline was so badly damaged

it does effect my everyday life as I used to love having the big long natural quiff and shaved sides but no loger can I do that, reason I want a HT

 

ive just had a quick look on here and found some good reviews on a dr in Istanbul aswell that charges 2.50 per graft so thats 3750 euro for about 2000 grafts which seems reasonable

 

hope this helps thanks

I agree that the best thing to do is post pics. Did you only bleach your hairline? Chances really are, and you just have to be honest with yourself, that you indeed are suffering from make pattern baldness. Being on this site for several years, people always come in looking for excuses for their hair loss besides normal balding. If you are experiencing in a normal pattern, it is very very unlikely that it is anything but mpb. Getting real with yourself and getting on finasteride is probably the best thing that you can do for yourself, and don't rush the ht.

Hard to tell without a side profile but it looks like your a NW 2.5. I would get on meds (in case its MPB) and wait it out until you come to the age where a good doc will work on you (Say 25). In that time, the meds may get you to where you want to be with no HT needed.

Hi, ive not suffering from hairloss ive allready been to see the doctors and has been confirmed, this happen to me 2 years ago, and I didnt even try to go on rogaine or anything like that ive done my research on products and they do more harm then good,

 

my hair has only been improving, around my hairline now theres loads of hairs coming in where my hair use to befor the past year ive seen improvements due to oil and hair masks

but still no where near where I was,

 

I will try upload more pics,

 

im honest with myself and if I had mpb I would accept it its something that can be fixed but I dont suffer from it and no one in my family does either in 4 generations weve looked up so far being my parents, there parents and so on,

 

and im growing more and more little hairs around my hairline on my left side then my right

I feel very confident that is mpb and you should consider meds. Were the physicians specialists in hair? Family pattern it's not even close to a great indicator. Many many people are the "only" bald people in their family.

 

Turkey is the place to go for cheap fue, but there are good clinics and bad clinics so do your diligent research.

I also thought it was mpb aswell, but when I went to see my gp he ruled it out, because he said that it the thinniest part of your hair and since I was bleaching it every few days for 2 years without taking care or treating it and a poor diet he ruled that was the key

he took my blood aswell and said everyhing was fine and onky since I started eating healthy and treating my hair this past year is when ive seen improvments and growing new hair around my hairline,

 

so I dno wht to do :( wish I could be more helpful but I really dont want to try the meds or rogaine or anything like that ive read to much into them and mostly all bad

MPB without a doubt, possibly exacerbated by the reasons stated - poor diet and haircare.

 

Best to go see a hair doctor to confirm it.

The only thing that you can do for MPB is to get on preventive medicines, or a hair transplant. I personally advise against HT's for most people under 40 that are not willing to take preventive meds. SMP can look good on a buzzed head but it is less effective for someone with longer hair. You can also use concealers like topik that can thicken things up for a temporary fix.

Hi, im gona find out as much as I can first and see if I do have mpb , hopefully I can see a dermatologist or hair specialist, if I am will my hair get worse? Im not losing any hair, and its pretty healthy, im taking biotin supplemnets also, and treating my hair few days a week with egg masks and oils etc etc,

 

I would like a transplant but I think I am a little young so considering a smp, because if I csn fill in the areas I know I can create a hair style to blend in, as I shave all my sides and back skinhead and leave long on top, so I thinkmi can oull it off

Matts,

 

I agree with Spanker: based upon those images, especially the close-ups showing a variety of hairs with differing caliber and lengths, your pattern is very similar to those suffering from androgenic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). Look forward to hearing what the hair loss specialist has to say.

 

Good luck.

Hi guys!

 

I was lucky enough to get put through to a dermatologist today and a neutrinionist,

my hair scalp was looked at vey closely with these scopes thinfys aswelland took blood and all

dermatologist said im not suffering from mpb she could see cleary under the scope both bald patches are filled with hairs which I said

most hairs are around the hairline and the others in the pathes

I have been recommended to take these drinks called " ensure" used for cancer patients they have every bvitamin and so much good in them there a little 350ml bottle and each bottle is 12 euro, she give me 2 months supply at 720 euro lol but the neutrioniosit says I need it for all them little hairs to get some strenght into them and feed them the right ingredients,

because of my poor diet when I was killing my hair and the folicles were looking for help basically lol I never fed them what they needed, I know it sounds stupid lol

 

ive also been recommended to go to get head massages with oils to promote the hair regrowth and stimulate blood up to them,

 

and since I never drank water as I dont like it I was affraid to tell her that I never drink water, and she was a little mad lol, she aays I should be drinking between 1.5 and 2l a day and my hair will be dehydrated lol

 

So hopefully this info has helped me and you

If your hair is a direct result of your admitted poor diet and habits, and you are making a change for the better, there should be noticeable results within the year. And drink some water, man - you need to stay hydrated! I'd look at a new hairstyle, too. I hate cold ears.:cool:

I'm serious.  Just look at my face.
