What does your family think? Thanks My family thinks it's great! They're so happy with it and they're glad I picked a good place and that the results are looking this good. My brother wants to go do it now and so do some friends of mine too. Edited January 1, 2019 by superflash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member superflash Posted January 30, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 Alright guys, here it is. Month 5 pics followed by some updates. Updates: So what I thought was dead skin falling off my scalp is actually dandruff. I showed pictures to the clinic (they communicate through Whatsapp) and they told me I could/should use Nizoral shampoo once a week so I'm going to start doing that this weekend. Other than that, everything is pretty normal, still taking my meds daily and Biotin every other day as directed by the clinic. I've been skiing now (with a helmet on all day) my hair looked pressed down when I took the helmet off but I let it come up on its own and everything was fine. I'm letting the top hair grow long and keeping the sides short. I got a haircut half-way through the month and went down to a level 1 on the back and sides...I probably won't be doing that again. Here's what it looked like: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted January 30, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 Heya, your growth and progress looks good! Why is your donor area showing a big square outline thru the hair? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member hanginginthewire Posted January 30, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not necessarily, just can’t wear super short hairstyles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member alex79 Posted January 30, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 In my opinion it looks really good. I think you should also consider a longer hair style... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted January 30, 2019 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I also agree that it looks very good. There’s a good chance that your donor will even out in the next few months and a longer hairstyle on the sides and back, in the interim, might suit you better.

I had a lot of surface to cover, 4300 grafts is a lot but the way my back looks with short hair is something I expected, not surprised. If you look at my 4 month post where my hair is slightly longer in the back, you can't see anything unusual or missing from the donor area. I will certainly consider a longer hair style...this is new to me haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyGraft Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Looks good for only 5 months. Did the clinic say the dandruff could affect your results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member PlzRespond Posted February 3, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2019 superflash- have you been using the "everyday shampoo" that the clinic sells? Did u experience the dandruff even while using that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member alex79 Posted February 3, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2019 Your donor looks a scock-loss to me which can happen when more than 3500 grafts have been extracted. I had similar situation . It became better on the 8 th month. Have you contacted dr. Cinik ? Using finasterid and minoxidil might help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyGraft Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) the donor looks pretty good at that length. it might just very well be shock loss so wait til a few more months and see if it gets better. have u asked the clinic about it?

Regular Member superflash Posted March 5, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) I'm a few days behind but here are my 6 month photos! And some updates... I'm using Nizoral Shampoo once a week and it's working Still taking my 2 vitamins everyday (Saw Palmetto + MultiVitamins) and 1 every other day (Biotin 10,000 mcg). I'm working out normally, lifting heavy weights and I'm fine Alcohol, food, sports, physical activity are all back to normal and I don't smoke Everything seems to be normal. I'm growing my hair long but I want another haircut to keep it clean. I'm so happy with my front view but my top view is making me consider a second HT. I'm going to wait till the 12 months are done before making any decisions. What do you guys think? Edited March 5, 2019 by superflash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MrOneSeries Posted March 5, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted March 5, 2019 Coming on nicely, when you look at your before pics you can see how much has grown! Hopefully another 6 months+ and your crown will fill in. Your donor area looks much better too. Have you tried head and shoulders for your dandruff?

Senior Member alex79 Posted March 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2019 I think you will be able judge and decide the need for a second after one year. I am pretty sure you can expect more growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
