Haha that's funny.. did you end up tell him the truth or make something up?

 

That's brave of you going out without a hat or anything I wouldn't be able to do it lol

 

It was at work- can't wear a hat there. I didn't tell him, just said I had it cut short as I've said I might for ages and I'm just waiting to grow it out a bit.

So this is my 8 week mark nothing different to report some hairs grew some still empty. Redness still there. Hopefully redness goes away by next month .

 

No back shot because there's nothing there to see which is awesome

 

Let me know what you guys think and if it looks normal so far.

Thanks

Looks good. I just posted my 8 week as well. I still have some redness and occasional ingrown hair sprouts. Nader said to keep putting aloe, and ointment on it till the irritations go away. Not sure if it helps but I've been dabbing neosporin on the irritations/new hair/ingrown hairs and the redness goes away. What are your thoughts?

Hey cid,

 

Thanks yours looks just as good. Yea I've been following your progress since you first posted. I shaved my head twice since the procedure just so everything grows evenally. The redness is what bothers me the most. I've been using the aloe as well but not Neosporin. I get the random ingrowns but they go away within acouple of days. Hopefully we both get good results and what's good is we can compare our weekly progress lol

The redness will take a while to dissipate completely but on the other hand it indicates that things are "percolating" under the skin in that area. You're looking good. Hey if you want to compare check out my photos on my website. I documented my entire journey and lots of guys take a look and compare progress. Go to.... MyFUEhairtransplant.com....and click on the archives at the right and go to September 2012 and go forward from there. Keep us updated with pictures here. Keep "growing" Tbcruz.

Hey Casper,

 

The redness is so annoying hah. But I know it takes awhile for it to go away. I've seen that around the 4th month mark redness goes away and the growth usually starts. I'm going to take a look at your website right now. I will keep this thread updated as much as I can. I just hope that I get the results I'm looking for.

Here they are ! Pictures taken outside. A lot of white hairs that are hard to see. There are also a lot of dots that are grafts that are trying to poke through. Hopefully in another month there will be a big improvement !

Day 94 lmk what you guys think

 

Some hairs just started to sprout and others are long. Hopefully everything starts to grow soon.

 

Second picture is little black heads that come out if I rub them. No bleeding no pain , doctor said those are hairs that were suppose to shed. Dr. Nader is great with texting btw as soon as I text him he responds immediately !

 

I’ve been using caboki for now when I go out and it’s great. I’ve never used that b4 but I had a baptism to go to and couldn’t wear a hat. Boy did that do the trick. Hopefully in a month Or 2 I won’t have to use it no more .

Tbcruz are you taking Biotin? I took a ton for the first few months and i feel like it really helped me have early growth.

 

Ya I’m taking these pills that have biotin and a bunch of other stuff that’s suppose to thicken up hair I’ll post a pic ...

 

I saw your recent pictures hair is looking great ! You take propecia or just biotin?

Looks great! That doesn't look like the graft. The root would be a lot longer. I'm sure it's just the shedding top. Take your biotin. I think it helps as well. I take 5000mcg in the morning and at night.

Today marks 16 weeks since op. A lot of white hairs which is hard to see a lot of darker hairs which you can see in the pics and some dots which are hairs growing. I’ve actually left the house without a hat and no one really stares or even looks twice. Just looks like it’s thinning in the area. I do use caboki when I go out tho to make it look fuller. Redness is going away slowly only down side but since Dr Nader told me to start using mederma it’s been a big difference.

 

These are the pictures, let me know what you guys think.. keep in mind it’s a sunny day and I’m in my work van a lot of light coming in.

 

Oh and happy thanksgiving to all !

So far so good. After the 16 week mark it's been coming in a lot faster and denser. I'm not wearing the hat as often. I'm hoping it will really thicken up in month 5 and 6.

It will look a lot better by month 6

 

I hope.. after watching everyone’s progress I was expecting a little more by 16 weeks. But let’s see what happens at month 5 or 6. Fingers crossed ??

Okay so 20 weeks since I got it done.. I still have redness and the coverage is okay I guess not super thrilled but I know it’s still early. Hopefully in the coming months it’s thickens up and the redness goes away

 

Here are some pics with my hair down and with me revealing the areas

I’m not that thrilled with the results, density is not where I thought it would be at this stage. On another note I do see a lot of fine hair that has to mature and a couple of new hairs poking through.

 

Keep in mind these pictures were takin in harsh over head lighting and with me combing my hair back to expose the areas.

 

I took pictures before showering so my hair was oily, and pictures after I showered (wet). I will also show how my hair is dried after I showered because it does look different than the ones I took before showering.

 

Let me know what you guys think ? Do I still have a shot of some nice thickness still coming ?
