Going from memory I’ve only seen one case of his published online on Afro hair. As you may already know, Afro textured hair typically has a strong curl underneath the skin which makes it difficult to extract with fue. Not trying to scare you or anything but just saying it’s best to be cautious. I have forwarded 12 photos of my hair from different angles to asmed and they didnt say much. In fact they were very reassuring so I guess it's not worth stressing about it but thanks for the comment mate and I will be cautious Edited August 16, 2019 by E.said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that photo I haven’t even done anything to my hair, literally washed and dried it. Lol I can go one better and upload a photo from my time at the clinic. I look like one of those wanted faces from crime watch! And another photo just over 5months into my journey.

Senior Member Craig2412 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2019 I thought I would share a couple more photos as today was the first time I’ve used hair product in my hair since my procedure. My brilliant co-ordinator said It wouldn’t do any harm trying products as I was instructed to wait until 6 months. Any thoughts appreciated as always. I will try a couple of styles in time to see which works best for my hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I applied 4 sprays of toppik into the hairline. It helps make the hairline a little darker which I like too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Craig2412 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2019 6 month update I reach the 6 month mark in two days and I’m over the moon with the progress so far. If I’m being totally honest I would have happily taken todays result as it stands as a final result based on my level of hair loss 6 months ago sitting in the Asmed clinic. There are some areas behind the hairline which look a little sparse still, so I’m hoping the hair maturation process will helps this. But ultimately once my hair is washed and styled I’m delighted with how it looks. I’ve attached a photo prior to surgery and have tried to take 6 photos at a similar angle to help compare. There is also a couple of photos in direct sunlight too. Any thoughts or feedback appreciated as always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t even see any scarring after 5k grafts. Crazy It’s a high skin fade, starts from a zero but they use a couple of different shavers to make it literally bald! To be fair no one has even mentioned anything about the scarring to me and if it was that noticeable I’m sure someone would have picked up on it by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Craig2412 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2019 Here’s another set of photos where I’ve tried to expose the hairline more through styling, recommended by my co-ordinator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted September 3, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think you should not put topik in the first 3/4 inch. It looks a little too stark and unconvincing.
