Senior Member Dutchie Posted September 27, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 27, 2016 When you guys say you have to give it 1 year before your transplant is pretty much complete, do you start counting from the day the grafts were implanted, or do you start counting from the day they the grafts fell out?? Because for most people starting from the day the grafts fell out means another month tacked on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dutchie Posted September 27, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 27, 2016 Implant. How's yours doing, Dutchie? Seems to have either stopped or slowed down a little. So now I've entered my paranoid stage again, because I only have 4 months and 1 week of growing left :eek: Oh well, I guess I'll have to start getting drunk on vodka again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dutchie Posted September 27, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 27, 2016 I usually get drunk on Scotch and it seems to help...maybe it's time to switch! Here's a little trick I learned when I still lived in Amsterdam. Take one capsule of kudzu before you go drinking, and only drink clear vodka on an empty stomach. This will take care of 90% of your hangover. Works everytime. Kudzu expels ethanol from your blood. You're welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member chris39 Posted September 28, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Seems to have either stopped or slowed down a little. So now I've entered my paranoid stage again, because I only have 4 months and 1 week of growing left :eek: Oh well, I guess I'll have to start getting drunk on vodka again I'm around 5 weeks ahead of you and I started feeling a bit twitchy around the 8 month mark . I thought to myself that I'm pretty much where I'm going to be . Good news is the hair seems to have kicked in a bit the last 2 weeks . Whether that's maturation or new grafts I honestly don't know . I'm a lightweight compared to you fella's - I'm a strictly lager and cider kinda bloke ! Edited September 28, 2016 by chris39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted September 28, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2016 The only time I've ever even heard of Kudzu is because my brother in law is in a little band called the Kudzu Killers. I wonder if this works with the bourbon they undoubtedly drink at their Kentucky shows, or if it has to be vodka.... :cool: I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted September 28, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2016 What is Kudzu? Quick Facts What is Kudzu you say? Its an amazing plant. So amazing that some say its an alien species. The Japanese love it, but it grows normal in Japan. In the American South its a predator. It grows more than 7 feet (more than 2 meters) a week. Almost nothing stops it. It takes 10 to 15 years to control a Kudzu patch – even with chemicals. Effective herbicides (such as napalm and agent orange) often destroy the soil. Of 12 known herbicides, 10 have no effect, and 2 make it grow better. Its covers more than 2.8 million square km of the American South. If it were not for winter, there would only be 40 American states. Patches often are 6+ miles (10+ kilometers) long. Its even been called "The vegetable form of cancer". Really, what is it? Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) was brought to the United States in 1876 for a Japanese Exposition in Philadelphia, and basically "escaped". In Japan it generally grows like a normal plant, however the American South is a perfect climate for it. Introducing Kudzu was like introducing a match to gasoline, and the results can now be easily seen. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Senior Member Transhair Posted October 1, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well I guess all that vodka would probably act as an antiseptic agent and prevent any infections from happening, so thats... healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
