Bill - Seemiller Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Hey everybody, it’s been along time since I’ve posted any real pictures of my hair. It’s been almost 10 years since my last hair transplant procedure and over 10 years since my first one. So I thought I would post a couple photos so people can see that hair transplants do stand the test of time. Not only that, but I’ve been experimenting recently by growing my hair. For the last 10 years or so I’ve been wearing my hair ultra short and as a result, it appeared a little thinner on top although still quite thick compared to what it would look like without any surgery . Today however, I thought I would grow my hair out sort of like I did when I was in my 20s… Mind you hairstyles have changed since then but right now I’m not concerned about style as much as I am trying to see what my hair would look like longer. In the meantime, I’ve had to go back to wearing hats to tame my hair which would be very wild and thick if I did not. That’s definitely a much better reason to wear a hat than I used to… which was basically to cover any signs of baldness and hair loss. With that said, my hair is far from long but it’s in that bizarre and unusual phase that prevents me from really being able to do much with it except put on hat to tame it. So without further do, here are a couple photos of the top of my head and my crown which is the thin area. I will post a photo showing the hairline a little later as well. Let me know what you think :-) Best wishes, Bill Edited May 29, 2018 by Bill - Managing Publisher
Bill - Seemiller Posted May 29, 2018 Author Posted May 29, 2018 Considering that I would be a level six on the Norwood scale without hair transplant surgery, I’m very pleased with my overall, long-term results. Most people can’t even tell I lost any hair unless they evaluate the back of my scalp and see that it’s thinner. At least there’s no bald spot even when it’s cut short. Best wishes, Bill
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 29, 2018 Administrators Posted May 29, 2018 Wow I had no idea your hair was that long Bill, it’s looking quite dense. From where you are now in your 40’s to how you were in your 20’s is night and day. Really quite amazing what careful planning and going to an elite surgeon can do for you congrats.

Senior Member wheretogo Posted May 29, 2018 Senior Member Posted May 29, 2018 Nice!, looks awesome. did you have transplant in the crown area too?, how much grafts in total?. why don't you use hair style products instead of hat?, i'm after years of wearing hats and i'm sick and tired of it, about 3.5 months after HT, still with hats. looking forward to see the hairline.
Bill - Seemiller Posted May 29, 2018 Author Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks Melvin, I appreciate it. It’s actually kind of fun growing my hair out a little bit… It’s obvious that the top is not as thick as it used to be when I was 16 and growing my hair however, it still looks pretty darn sick on top compared to I ever thought I would see on top of my head again. So I’m very excited to be able to grow my hair if I want to without worrying about it looking like a comb-over or something. I have plenty of hair on all parts of my scalp even though the ground is a little thinner. Best wishes, Bill

Senior Member pkipling Posted May 29, 2018 Senior Member Posted May 29, 2018 Dude. That is SO MUCH hair. I've tried many times over the years to let mine grow out but can't really pull it off (nor do I have the patience needed for it to get that far). But really your hair looks amazing.

Regular Member TheEnd890 Posted May 30, 2018 Regular Member Posted May 30, 2018 Your hair looks super dense. The crown doesn't even look that bad, I imagine its easier to not even notice it. When its short and not swept back, does it still retain a decent look in the back?
